  “Popped into The Bull’s Head Stonehouse after work for some dinner with a friend and had a really lovely evening. We were looked after by Kayleigh, who was incredibly professional, friendly and attentive throughout our visit. She made us feel very welcome and ensured we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Great service, a relaxed atmosphere and an enjoyable evening all round. A big thank you to Kayleigh for looking after us so well. Will definitely be returning!”

  “Had a lovely evening tonight, served by Beth and Johnny. I was unaware of the terms of my Groupon voucher, and asked Beth about this. She was very kind and assisted me in making an order. Both staff went above and beyond to provide excellent service, a very lovely dinner and were very helpful and friendly. Compliments to the pizza chef too. Will be back👍”

  “Lovely experience here. Staff were super friendly and the atmosphere of this place is just lovely. It's nice to see the outside areas are well maintained and are kept really nice. Its a nice place to be. We went during the day on a weekday so it was reasonably quiet, but the staff were still attentive and the food and drinks came out rapidly. Ordering was done using the QR code on the tables so ordering and payment was easy and simple. Prices were a little on the high side but to be expected for a nice location. Car park is very large and plenty of parking there and right next to the location. 10/10 will return. Thanks very much.”

  “I ordered a large breakfast through uber eats. It shows mushrooms on the picture however mushrooms are never put in (misleading) The egg on this occasion was not acceptable at all it was GREEN. Kayleigh did rectify this which we are grateful for but these things shouldn’t have happened.”

  “As always Beth warmly welcomed us and despite us having to change our table reservation time was happy to seat us straight away. The recent full refurb has us eating out regularly again and food appears to have been taken up a notch too. The carvery always hot, meats juicy and vegetables regularly changed/refreshed.”

  “I recently visited The Bulls Head with a group, and overall the experience was mixed. This was my first time - a reviewer I try and see positives before adding these comments. We were a party of 8 people. Starting with the food, the carvery received varied feedback across our party. Some people genuinely enjoyed it and described it as very good, while others felt the meat was unfortunately a little dry. That said, most of us still found something to enjoy, so overall it was a reasonably positive experience on the food front. The macaroni and cheese was a highlight—rich, flavourful, and definitely one of the better dishes we tried. The garlic bread, however, was just average and didn’t quite match the standard of the rest of the meal. People who had the Eton Mess waffles did not like the waffles - they tasted dry and not very fresh, and ice cream had ice inside. Others who had Apple crumble said the Apple was taut and lacked sugar. One area that could be improved is allergen accessibility. While nothing went wrong, the menu could be clearer and easier to navigate for those with dietary restrictions, which would make the experience more reassuring and inclusive. The atmosphere was pleasant. It was a warm day, and the pub itself was quiet and not overly busy, which made for a relaxed environment. The interior felt clean, modern, and well-maintained, and the facilities—including the toilets—were in a good, hygienic condition. Unfortunately, the service was the weakest part of our visit. There were significant delays with food from the Pub Classics menu, which meant that half of our group received their meals much later than the others. This disrupted the overall experience, as some people had nearly finished eating while others were still waiting. We were told that the delay was due to ordering online, but this felt like a weak explanation given how quiet the pub was at the time. Customers dining in should still be prioritised appropriately. Waiting around 35 minutes just for desserts was particularly disappointing and detracted from what could have been a much better visit. In summary, while the food and atmosphere had their positives, the service issues significantly impacted our experience. With better organisation and improved attention to timing, this could easily be a much stronger venue. However, based on this visit, it is unlikely that we would return within the next 12 months, if not longer. It felt like we were being told as we ordered online it’s different system but essentially telling customers they will wait longer for a QR purchase is not acceptable.”

  “Met up with our friends and enjoyed a lovely lunchtime meal. The only reason I have marked the service down as we wanted more drinks but ended up leaving as the staff didn't return after offering us puddings. A nice brew or coffee would have finished off a smashing meal.”

  “Ordered a takeaway Carvery It wasn't even edible, i have complained and I got told i can have a refund and I am still waiting it's been two weeks! Photo - meant to be 3 pigs in blankets, apparently that's Beef in the photo it was rock solid. I paid for a LARGE and added pigs in blankets... I did call after placing the order to ask about Vegetables can I have all of the Vegetables. To be told "its up to the kitchen what they send" He then told me that they are busy and you get whatever ... very disappointing considering it's my first takeaway carvery .... hopefully I'll get a reply soon”
