  “If you like a truly great tasty Sunday roast with all the trimmings in a fantastic dog friendly pub with great staff wearing white serving gloves, not forgetting pud with loads of custard then this is definitely for you! On holiday for a week here but will be back to taste their mid week menu for sure...”

  “Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing visit here. Part of our party have visited before on a Sunday and have chosen from the main menu with the options of Sunday dinner available on a Sunday. The table was booked online and nothing stated that the only menu options on a Sunday is a roast dinner. We found this out after being seated and having ordered and recieved our drinks when a party member asked about the burger to then we were told it was roast dinner only. We then saw that the Yorkshire puddings on the menu where vegan. We asked how they were made and what ingrediants used and nobody came back to tell us until at the end of the meal when we fedback to the waitress that the Yorkshires were not very nice the waitress told us the chef said it is a secret. The chef can keep their secret as I wouldn't want them again but we all know that secret means no idea as they're pre bought in. Also the gravy was not homemade it a bisto granuals. If the only thing your serving on Sundays is a roast dinner at least do it very well with no short cuts. The pigs and blankets were extremely overcooked and borderline charcoal, the roast potatoes needed a saw to cut through. The rest of the food was ok but its not a place i'll be recommending as a great Sunday roast. The staff were pleasant and friendly but we found the service slow overall.”

  “I’m not sure if this place has new owners because the food used to be spot on but hand on heart I can honestly say it was the worst burger I’ve had in my life . I don’t mind paying if it’s worth it but this wasn’t worth a fiver . It was £17 !!!!The cheese was non existent so had to ask for some . It came with a few bits of old looking salad leaf . Doesn’t take much to present a burger well . No lettuce no onion no tomato. The chips were soaked in grease and soggy .the bread was soaked in fat . The coleslaw was clearly cheap bought in crap. Such a shame when this place was known for good food. The menu is really small and basic too . No kids menu . Really glad I didn’t have the seafood tagliatelle if they can’t do a burger right. On a positive the staff were really good and helpful . Sack the chef”

  “The portions here are minimal. By that I mean that after spending £30 on food and drink I left the pub still feeling hungry. I had beef bourguignon and the mash and veg were miniscule. There was 3 and a half small pieces of beef. Enjoy running the pub while you can it will go out of business soon enough”

  “Visited The Bulls Head at Blackmoorfoot and ordered the pan-seared duck, expecting it to be served pink as is typical with this dish. Instead, I was served something closer to a tough old boot—overcooked, dry, and lacking flavour. When I …”

  “Really didn't enjoy my experience here at bulls head pub! After finally been just me and my partner alone without the dogs and kids after a busy Christmas we was excited to try the bullshead pub after passing by this residence often when heading for a walk at blackmoorfoot res. So to start we was seated in an area on our own for the first 5 mins only to have two family's come in to the area where they was with a couple of wet dogs from their walks so we asked if we could maybe move to somewhere dog free and be able to relax with our meal which they sorted for us and we was thankful for that. The residence had the heating on but there was terrible Draft from somewhere and we couldn't take our coats off without been uncomfortable so we kept them on (we also noticed most other diners with jumpers or coats on too) Our mains came and I was slightly underwhelmed at the my plate of mostly salad and Coleslaw, my burger meat was thin and was a bit lost on the big bread bun and I had 10 hefty chips but would have liked more. Overall I enjoyed the taste but I would have liked more food. My partner enjoyed her cajun chicken skewers but didn't think there was much on the plater either and she would have like some more chicken meat, she said her chips were a bit hard and burnt. Desserts were horrendous! I had a pistachio cheesecake with ice cream and I have never tasted anything more strange in my life, the cheesecake had no biscuit base and was all just a foam consistency which tasted nothing like pistachios and only of an overpowering taste of marzipan. It was just a plate of mush with no crunch and looked as undesirable as it tasted. My partners chocolate fudge cake and custard was a bland sponge with an over watery custard! Service: The food here isn't the cheapest but the service was akin to a low grade cheap restaurant! The waitress we had was young and shy and didn't seem like she was in the right job, she didn't once say to us to enjoy our meal and we didn't get asked once if everything was ok with our meals whilst or after eating them. I put my cheesecake to the end of the table after having one bite from it and it was left there until the waitress cleared our tables 15 minutes later.. After passing by our table and seeing I hadn't eaten it on at least 6 occasions to tend with others, She then eventually asked if we had done but didn't asked if we enjoyed it or why I didn't eat it, so I said to her I didn't like my dessert that's why I haven't eaten it and she said sorry and then just took the food away. We was then left sat there for 10 minutes while the waitress tended to other customers not knowing wether the bill was coming to our table or if we had to go to the bar. We eventually got up and went to the bar to pay. We will not be returning here as the food didn't match the prices and the hospitality was very under par. We felt like we wasted the very rare time we got to ourselves.”
