I ordered the full rack of pork ribs with cole slaw and chips. Very tasty - some of the best ribs I've ever had. My wife had an 8 oz Fillet. She told me that while this was not the most tender steak she has had, the flavour was outstanding. Our friend had a burger - it too was excellent. We started the meal with calamari. It was very good. We ended the meal with Crème Brulee. It too was very, very good. The price of the meal was reasonable as well. I can't recommend this place more highly. The only warning, is if you are 6'3" like I am, you need to watch your head. There are some low wooden beams that are several hundred years old that will put a dent in your head if you are not careful.

The Bull prides itself on the steaks it serves, and I will admit, they are good. However, to me, they are a little too expensive.

This is a steak house, so I will jump straight to the steak bit.....oh, it was good, it was reeeaaally good. Beautifully cooked, all 3 of the different cuts we had, and wonderfully garnished. Served on what looked like a large bread-board and accompanied with chips in a miniature tin bucket. But let's face it, it's not about the chips in a bucket, it's about the steak, and it was good....did I mention that already? As for the restaurant itself, is beautifully decorated, a nice, clean bar area and genuinely looked very nice. The day we went was really quiet, except for a party of about 20/25 people in a corner having some kind of celebration. It was them, and 2 other tables (including us), and they were really noisy, so I could only imagine how noisy it would be when/if full. Nice time had by all though, and the steak was fantastic. Oh, and not overly pricey for quality cuts of meat, we'll be back.

Whilst the décor is nothing to write home about the food definitely is. For my money they serve the best steaks in London; thick, tasty and tender. The average price of a steak is 15 pounds, which comes with chips or potatoes. There's also a wonderful array of salads if you want to have balance in your diet. When it's time for coffee you're given a complimentary dish of Turkish Delight. A terrific meal out!

This place sounded so good! I found it via Tastecard because they offer (at time of review) a 50%…read morediscount - even for large groups - which is pretty awesome. My beef with this place (excuse the pun) was the terrible service. I had initially booked for 10, but on the day called to see if we could reduce the number and arrive a bit earlier. The man on the phone said it wouldn't be a problem. When we arrived the waiter obviously hadn't been told because he was quite confused how to deal with our smaller group arriving early. I'll point out now that we went on a Sunday night and the place was at about 50% capacity. While we waited for a friend to arrive we decided to get starters and drinks. The bottle of wine arrived open, which is not ideal but not a major issue. The starters/sides were quite average. We shared them between us but there was no offer of plates so sharing them got messy very quickly. After we'd finished our starters the waiter asks if we could order our mains. We asked for a few minutes to check on our friend because she was due to arrive any minute, but just a minute later he's asking again because of something to do with how the kitchen organises itself. Remember, it's a Sunday and they were not busy. Thankfully my friend walked through the door at that precise moment. The saving grace of this restaurant is the wide selection of exotic meats. There are the safe options of beef and chicken or you can try wild boar, water buffalo, springbok, crocodile and more. My late friend quickly chose but at this point the waiter had almost lost attention and it was quite difficult to get him to come over (not for the first time). All mains come on a hot stone with chips and salad. The plates are very big and because he'd put 5 on us on a table for 4 we did struggle to fit them on. I like the idea of the hot stone but it is a low-effort meal for the kitchen who only need to cook chips and heat the stone. For this reason I cannot fathom why the waiter was pressuring us into ordering our mains befroe our final diner had arrived. On the plus side, my water buffalo was good, but since I was the one cooking it I'm not sure how much credit they deserve. The Tastecard discount made it worthwhile, however, everything but the meat was average at best and the service was appalling.

Eventually one reluctantly went over to serve them. Once seated though, the service was a bit random, with people jumping in and out as one got delayed on another table and so on, and we waited quite a bit to place our food order after getting our drinks. But after that, the waitress was friendly and provided good service. To be fair the food was spot on, and cooked well. We had three different steaks and they were all cooked as we had requested. The deserts were okay. The coffees weren't all that. So £50 per person, it's okay. (Only 2 alcoholic drinks in £200). We will go back I'm sure, but equally there are other steak houses in the area with better service and ambience for the same price.
