Love this pub. It is a local but also family love to travel over when they are this way to celebrate birthdays. Each time I have been the food has been amazing. The service and the atmosphere is so lovely. Everyone that has come has said how lovely the Bulls Head is. We all love Dolly's corner to sit in. Family and friends always look forward to the next occasion we can have there. Thanks for always making it special for us. A proper country feel to the place with lovely staff.
