  “If I could leave zero stars I would. Went in for dinner and drinks at 4:20pm. Menu at restaurant and google states dinner service behinds at 4pm. We were informed the kitchen wasn’t open until 5pm. We chose to have a drink & wait for dinner service to begin. Ordered shots of 4 fins to sample England gins. Bartender was rude & stated we had to pay for the shots as they did not do free tasting. We had not asked for free tastings but ordered shots. 5pm came and went. We never saw the waitress again. We stepped up & got our own menus & waited until 5:20pm without any help or even acknowledgement despite the new bartender watching us continually. At 5;30pm we paid for our drinks and left with a snooty comment from the bartender as we left. Rude & unprofessional restaurant.”

  “On arrival, I discovered there was nowhere to sit. I approached the bar, gently screaming interiorly. I asked at the bar if there was additional seating upstairs and the winsome Jack let me know there was. Though, he said, I would be alone up there. Disregarding his kindly warning of potential ostracism, pint in hand, I headed up and entered a creaky, Hitchcock-esque ballroom with scattered seating, guest 1 of 1. I selected a corner banquette in a shadowy recess deep in the abandoned space. Sat there, sipping my *by the way* immaculately poured pint, all that could be heard from the heart of darkness were my intermittent sips and specks of dust occasionally grazing each other in the stagnant air. Questioning my choices, Jack suddenly appeared, a point of light in the enveloping darkness, with great presence of mind, gliding into the room like a benevolent spirit, nimbus-crowned, to illuminate the chandeliers. He then opened the French windows, ushering in a lustrous, raking light and a singing river breeze. Then, in honeyed speech, he let me know all my hopes and desires could be realised via the QR code on the table's menu and, with a winning smile, he disappeared from my now sunlit perch. Let this review be a specific paean to Jack (underlined) and his gleaming hospitality. He did look parched, though. Someone should sort that out.”

  “We only stopped in for a few drinks and some nibbles, but the service was excellent from start to finish. We felt genuinely well looked after, and the steak with chimichurri was absolutely perfect. Great atmosphere, friendly team and a lovely pub. Looking forward to coming back”

  “Great Jazz Experience I’ve encountered multiple times I visited and even better food! Definitely recommend the Sunday roasts paired with the view in the Melrose Room! Stunning!”

  “We loved the Bulls Head as a pub, the atmosphere was great; it wasn’t overly crowded and the service was excellent. We were a bit disappointed with the food though. The batter on the fish & chips was dark and too crisp, and it would have been nice to see a bit of lettuce and a slice of tomato on the burgers; chips were nice though.”

  “🚇 Barnes Bridge 🍺 £6.70 Pravha The Bull’s Head is located overlooking the River Thames in Barnes, southwest London. The nearest station is Barnes Bridge. This grand Victorian pub dates back to at least the 17th century, although the present building was constructed in 1846. Today, the pub is operated by Young’s Brewery. The pub is famous for its legendary Jazz Club, which opened its doors in 1959. Many legends from the genre and beyond have performed here, including PP Arnold and Mick Jagger. This traditionally decorated, multi-room pub combines classic character with a few contemporary touches. The main bar features an island servery surrounded by a mix of high and low seating, while an adjoining room offers a fireplace and bookshelves. A few steps beyond the bar lead to a spacious room with a vaulted ceiling and atrium. Two function rooms are located on the first floor. At the rear, a courtyard beer garden leads to the Jazz Club. The beer selection features a range of well-known brews and includes cask ales. I decided on a Pravha; my pint was excellent, price point was above average. Food-wise, it’s gastro pub classics. Fish and chips costs £19.50, and hearty roasts are available on Sundays. I have visited this pub a couple of times over the last few weeks. On my first visit, I decided to take my pint outside, cross the road, and enjoy it by the river. My second visit was at 5:30pm on a Wednesday afternoon in May. The pub was fairly busy, with a mix of local punters—some in for a beer, others enjoying a spot of dinner. The atmosphere was convivial and laid-back, set to an excellent soundtrack. The service was first-class on both visits. The team here are friendly, courteous, and welcoming. The pub hosts a quiz every Wednesday and live jazz on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. From the imposing exterior and classy decor to the top-notch beer selection and warm hospitality, visiting this pub was a truly enjoyable experience—a must-visit if you’re in the area. 📅 13th May 2026”

  “A delightful dinner with plenty of ambience. Food was delicious, with generous portions without being overwhelming. The Bull's Head has plenty of seating spread through multiple rooms. This allows the restaurant area to be quiet(ish) but still have enough noise to be pleasant. Service was great, attentive enough without being intrusive. Definitely be returning.”

  “We came for the Euros final and decided to have dinner too and booked for 630pm. Firstly I want to say service was exemplary from the time I booked to when we had to leave. Someone actually rang me to ask whether it was just dinner or just the Euros final and I said both and apparently it was to check whether we needed a view of the tv. I was very impressed! I then wanted triple cooked chips with aioli as a starter (not on the menu) which I’d had had a couple of years ago and the v polite and helpful server checked. I got my chips and I swear they made/provided the aioli! Since we had reserved a dinner booking we also got to order roast dinner with all the trimmings, which was decent and tasty. I asked for extra gravy and they were very generous with extra jugs. I did feed back the Eton Mess was out of balance with too much cream and I didn’t eat much of it and the excellent server (wish I knew his name!) offered to take it off the bill. All the staff were so polite and friendly. It’s not a sports pub/bar as the tv screens are not that large but we enjoyed the atmosphere. It’s a v nice pub and we will be going back.”
