I try to only review great places so you should know where this is going :-)…read more I've passed this lovely place so many times assuming it was a 'pub that does food', but actually it's possibly a restaurant that does beer ??! Let me give you some examples. Halloumi is Halloumi right ? Wrong it tasted better than ever beautifully golden soft and rich. Must have also been a 'good brand' of Halloumi. Squids squid ... right ? Wrong, Fresh and thickly cut and just fried red hot to perfection in a light home batter = beautiful. Chicken strips are chicken ... Etc you know what's coming now huh !? Moist tender thick cut strips of very fresh chicken breast all with a garlic mayo and a chilli dip. Already my compliments to the chef or chefs. So on to Sunday roast beef dinner. Massive home made Yorkshire beautifully fluffy golden roasties fresh carrots cabbage and runner beans side, a pig in a blanket, and just the right amount of beef to make you feel stuffed :-) we did ... Ironically the perfectly acceptable but average cappuccino was the only downside to the whole day because everything else was 'above' standard. But the most impressive thing about English lounge is something you can't make or design. It's got a 'je ne sais quois' a 'Feng Shui' a something elusive that makes it incredibly relaxing and soothing. We spent hours there unhurried, and attended to gently by the friendly staff. We listened to the perfect background music and we left feeling we could easily have spent all day and night there! And that's something you can't create .... Right ? Wrong !!! Lol congratulations to the management, staff, and kitchen of the English lounge .... Superb !

The interior is comfortably furnished with a mixture of chairs and sofas to give a relaxed atmosphere. If you were looking for a traditional country pub though it's probably more on the stylish gastro end of the spectrum. That said, the food we had from starters to desserts was superb. Our group, which included a baby and a toddler, were well taken care of and we had a large table tucked away from the main dining area where we could spread out a bit. You can't travel light with young 'uns! Sunday roasts and British dishes head the menu, though the selection for all courses was pretty extensive - I opted for their oak-smoked chicken liver pâté followed by the Sunday roast platter (roast beef, roast turkey and loin of pork) and then sticky toffee and apple pudding (because dessert). Their bar stock includes cask-conditioned beers, real ales and bottles which was good to see. As a designated driver though, I was on the blackcurrant and lemonade! Service was attentive throughout and we were never made to feel rushed at any point. A super venue for a lazy Sunday lunch - will definitely return.

With most of the local high school students preferring to drink elsewhere the Bull's Head tends to attract an older clientele. This allows the place to revel in its traditional values of comfort and quality. The real fireplace and polished brass fittings give it that classic country pub feel, which is amplified by the decent selection of real ales and welcoming staff. However, if a quiet drink is what you're after you might be disappointed. Due to its small size it gets full quickly and thus can become quite noisy but this never affects the generally social atmosphere. This is simply a traditional village pub where old English standards are upheld.

The food is quality and there is a good choice of bar food, early evening set menu or a la carte in a rural location. Steeped in history, the walls are adorned with tales & legends.

They do special offers like two courses for £11.95 and if you buy a burger Monday -Friday before 6 it's £7.95 with a free drinks. I have had the chillies which was really bat little spicy when I had it, the curry is really nice too and you get rice and nann bread with it. I like bringing my little cousins hear as they're really good with children and they like the food too they get a kids packs so keeps them entertained while they wait for the food. The pub is really clean and tidy and the decor is nice for a pub it's got a nice area seating area outside if it's nice and there is a big car park atvthe side.

It is ideally situated, just off the main road and has a large car park. The outside of the pub is very impressive. It is a grade 2 listed building and was once owned by the Holt family of Joseph Holt's brewery (and is still ran by them to this day). The inside is equally as impressive with the restaurant being very nicely laid out. The food menu is your typical pub grub. I ordered the Joey burger, and whilst I wasn't wow'd by it, it was OK. Most of my family went for more traditional dishes such as Cottage Pie or Steak and Ale Pie - they all looked and tasted good. The dessert menu was good also - the Oreo cake was a winner with my niece and i may have (definitely) scoffed a chocolate fudge cake. I would recommend this place for a bite to eat if you're local.

So whipping out yelp..We tried a nearby pub which was packed..in defeat and stomachs a-gurgling I rang this place and spoke to a John who was polite and promised us a table.. Eagerly we arrived to a lovely traditional pub with a fire and good vibes. We were led to a lovely dining room and seated. Looking around at fellow diners eating Yorkshire puddings the size of a large boat we were encouraged. They offer lamb, beef turkey or all three meats for 14.99. I chose the lamb Sunday dinner with mash, green beans, red cabbage, roast potatoes, carrots, parsnips and a massive home made Yorkshire. There was little bit of a wait but God when it arrived it was one of the best Sunday dinners I have had in a very long time. The portion was generous and we even got cheese cauliflower for the side. We ate in utter silence and every single thing on that plate was cooked to perfection. These wolfed down we ended with a cheesecake each which was also divine and a decent portion. Overall fantastic service.. great atmosphere and most importantly excellent food!!

More expensive than your usual pub grub but a cut above and well worth it. I went for the burger with bacon and cheese (approx £11), homemade, large and well cooked burger in a focaccia bun with some extremely chunky chips on the side. Colleague had the fish and chips and was well received. Afraid I didn't try the beers but had a wide range or lagers and beers. Nice atmosphere in impressive 17th Century building, lots of seating and good outside patio area. I will be back to sample other things on the menu!
