About Bulls Head
Classic fare & cocktails served in a neighbourhood pub with live jazz gigs every night.
Technically a riverside pub (although the main road lies between) dating from 1845, and now protected from high tides by a concrete wall across the road. It towers over the adjacent corner building that is now the recently reopened Watermans Arms. The Bulls Head (and famous music room, albeit reduced in size) is now part of the Geromino Inns chain and underwent a complete and costly refurbishment in 2013, reopening on 12th December. The jazz room has now been relocated to the former Thai restaurant at the back. Upstairs has also been brought into use as additional restaurant space. Usually a guest beers supplement the regulars. Bar menu: 12pm-10pm (9pm Sun).

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…

This pub was an absolutely wonderful experience! The food was great. I had a scotch egg and a vegan roast which was surprisingly delicious and my husband had fish and chips, very crispy and tasty! Louie the waiter was very helpful.

I was genuinely impressed with the experience I had, from the moment I walked through the doors, I felt at ease straight away. The welcoming atmosphere immediately appeared, as the staff greeting me warmly. This place was more than just a pub; it had a relaxed and happy vibe, with a team of staff who genuinely enjoyed their work and friendly customers who added to the positive energy. Initially, we only planned to stop in for a drink, but after seeing the inviting lunch menu, we decided to stay for a meal. Based on the glowing reviews and captivating photos online, we travelled some…

Great service by the young Jack I was around in the local area and stumbled across this lovely pub and was greeted by the most friendliest staff member Jack. He welcomed me with open arms and even helped me in choose and brilliant non alcoholic drink. I was then feeling a little peckish and once again the lovely Jack was there to help me choose the lovely kids breaded chicken and let me tell you that went down a treat, once again if I am ever in the local area I will make sure to pop in even just to see Jack once again. 10/10 would recommend

We had a lovely lunch and drink here whilst it was raining. The staff were beyond hospitable and so lovely. We were served by Craig who was a delight and saved us and our dog from the rain! We definitely will be back here for a jazz night and their jazz festival in November. We cannot recommend more!
