The Bull was awesome the food was good and the staff were pretty cool and nice to us. We traveled as a group for our first time in Kensington! We ordered the burgers and the fish and chips. And whoa. We were blown away with the variety of food and drinks offered on the menu! I definitely will be coming back one day. read more

The Bull is a big two-story gastropub located in the middle of the Southern Terrace of Westfield shopping centre. Both floors have independent bars, the downstairs one the more elaborate of the two. This is one of those places good for private or company parties, large family gatherings or even meetings which they have private rooms for. A short walk away from Shepherd's Bush station, the Bull's interior is a modern interpretation of the traditional British pub. It's a familiar place, easy to get comfortable in. There is a terrace on the ground floor and a balcony higher up, nice for when the weather allows. Head chef Tenzin and his team use British ingredients extensively throughout the menu, itself filled with British classics such as Fish & Chips, Sausage & Mash, Pies, etc. That said, we felt like returning our fish and chips and our beer-battered onion rings as both were nightmarishly soggy. There was obviously something wrong with their fryer on the day we visited. One of the waitresses confirmed that we weren't the only ones to experience this. If that really was the case, then I think it's shameful that they continued to serve something knowing it was flawed. Thankfully, the burger was better. To our surprise service was really good, friendly even. Coming from Dubai where service is everything, we have found restaurants in London, especially pubs, wanting in that department. This place was different, the blond bartender with a brown beard actually smiled at me once and opened a tab without asking for my credit card - wow! The rest of the staff were equally nice. I'd probably go back to The Bull for the ambience and to have a drink but I don't think I'd eat there again. Hey!

Great pub in the middle of Westfield shopping centre that stands out from all the other restaurants. I always stop by after I've been shopping to de-stress with a couple of cocktails. The staff are always friendly and the food's always tasty read more

The Bull at Westfield is a good meet up venue. It has cosy couches and half a pub / half a cafe atmosphere what makes it a perfect place to relax, especially on the weekdays when it's less busy. My friends suggested to go meet there on a Tuesday night for a drink and nibbles. They have a good selection of wines and beer on the tap. The menu offers nice nibbles to go with the drink as well as three types of steak. I went for a Flat Iron served with chips and sauces and was quite pleased with it. I had it medium done, leaving it juicy and tender. I wasn't too happy with the service when I went to order food at the counter: the bartender couldnt find the type of steak I wanted on her system and did not even try to fix the situation, as long as to my understanding she just didn't want to go through 'the pain of cancelling' the order. She eventually called her colleague for help to fix the situation, and in the end apologized for the misunderstanding. It's worth checking out an upper floor for more cosy seating and even a small library ;) I would say The Bull it one of my favourite places in Westfield (in terms of the atmosphere not the service!) out of all I've been so far. read more

Arranged to meet my friend for lunch here, and since nobody really lives in the central London area this was the 'middle ground' for us both. Also we were expecting the football to be on so it was more his choice than mine. This is located in a section of the mall containing other restaurants but this is the only bar/pub one there. I got there early and looked for a seat close to a TV. This place is big, like downstairs, upstairs and backstairs big. It is also very cosy, lots of sofas and alcoves to chill in. Since they only had two televisions upstairs to choose from I picked the table closest to the upstairs bar and tv. Had the steak from the specials, reasonably priced and good enough for 15 quid. The service was quick and polite and I quickly became a big fan of this pub. However since I am trying to stay away from shopping malls, due to my inability to not spend, it will be awhile since I come back here I guess. read more

I really enjoyed this place. It was sort of a diamond in the rough since it stood out as a charming old school pub amongst a sea of Westfield chains and hub bub. Don't get me wrong, I think the Bull is a chain, but the feel of it keeps you distant from the reality just outside. My cousin and I went in for a few drinks and met people from all over the planet. I was a good time of the year as everyone was buzzing with excitement and in the holiday spirit. A great place to mingle as a tourist or as a local. I don't think I saw too many shopping bags, so it seemed like people came straight there. The staff was great, especially our downstairs bartender Monica who offered friendly advice about the area. I'd repeat a visit to this place! DT read more

If you're in Westfield, The Bull is definitely a good option for drinks. It's on the South Terrace, and they have a small little area outside with heat lamps. They have a good selection of beers and the ambiance is nice. My biggest qualm? Drinks are just too expensive! £11 for a G&T? Thank you but no thank you. If you're around Westfield and you're looking for a bar/pub for some drinks, The Bull is a good choice but it's a little pricey for what it is. read more

Way too expensive for what's it's worth. Staff are great but not a good place to get a round in. read more

The Bull - £6 for a single vodka and coke. It's only Absolut. - British Near Me - London, XGL

Great pub , huge pub, Over 3 levels. Outside area downstairs and the main bar has lots of character . Its a bit modern and a bit country . You would think this is enough but half way up the stairs there is a small area for quiet times or a private affair. To the top level you find another main bar with eating area and another outside area. Up 1 more step with more tables. A billiards room with gorgeous old chairs and cushions but its all modern and fresh? Quirky wallpaper , mirrored doors its like being in someones loungeroom. We ate here on a Sunday afternoon and it wasnt very busy . Usual food of roasts, burgers kids menu that was nice and reasonably priced. The staff are young and bored but friendly enough. It has something for everyone here. read more

Food tinned, cold, congealed, and overpriced. Manangement refused to refund. Absurd. read more

The Bull is a pub in a shopping centre. Kinda. So, as you'd imagine, it isn't exactly steeped in history and olde worlde charm(e). That said, it isn't rubbish. In fact, it isn't even average. It's a decent little place to drink beer. There's a guest ale on (just the one) and it is deceptively large, which means you're likely to get a seat. As it isn't far from the tube, it could well be a good place to meet before venturing elsewhere. For smokers, there's a decent little balcony patio which looks over... well... some cash machines, but don't let that put you off. While this isn't ideal or picturesque, I found it pleasant enough to spend a good few hours in. It certainly won't win any awards in your mind, but it definitely won't offend. That said, it is worth pointing out that I went midweek. Perhaps this place is a different kettle of fish at the weekend. You'd have to find that out yourself though. Moderately good. read more

The Bull from the array of restaurants at Westfield London as they will be serving British classics, along side the simple favourites of the pub aficionados....simple grilled fish, slow roasted cuts of meat, seasonal soups, sandwiches, pies, sunday roasts, a curry, salads... The mix and match furniture that shows they love to search through markets; the ability to be really relaxed or slightly formal; the toys and games to while away the hours with friends...game of billiards anyone?....room to perch at the bar; slightly more room to squeeze a pram next to your chair so you can rest your weary soul with a glass of vino; but most importantly be amongst kindred souls who think that quite frankly, at this particular moment, just nothing beats a pub! It was lovely Saturday with a glass of Aromatic White Wine, Lérane Terret/Viognier 2008. And enjoyed myself quietly & peaceful... read more

Stumbled into this place randomly. Found instant hospitality from downstairs bartender Monica who made our stay quite enjoyable. Great group of people come into this place from all parts of the world which makes for great conversation. Will definitely repeat this place. Say hi to Monica when you go in. AB read more

Wow, what a find. If you're in Westfield, this place is worth a stop. From the outside it's very unassuming. The downstairs floor has the main bar and tables, but go upstairs and that's where it's oozing charm. Comfy couches, quirky decor and signs will make you want to wonder around to discover the little hidden nooks. We had a private room at the back, completed with a colour-coded library with a real "old-book" smell. This place isn't just for pub drinks, it does proper food and tea and coffee. read more

A little bit disappointed with the roasted beef. The lamb shoulder is good, but a bit cold when served. Prawns are disaster. Service is fine. They provide crayons for kids to doodling. read more

Staff is rude and drinks are actually really bad. Never complained for a jug of delicious pimm's but this time I couldn't even drink it. I'm sorry but I won't drink there ever again. read more

With shopping I often get thirsty and stop by here when I am done to kick back and have a bevy. There is soo many things I like about this. The atmopshere, layout, outdoor area and the billiards table room.It has it all. Its a formal and warm style feel but minus the toffy nosed people. Drinks seem reasonably priced too and the staff are lovely. Word of warning this place can be rather busy and hard to get a table/seat on some nights. So if there is a large group of you or your planning to have a meal make sure you book a table in advance. read more

This place is the first proper bar at or near the Westfield London. Its located in the southern terrace restaurant row area. It appears two or three floors of seating. It even has a game room. The staff are pretty friendly. It seems like a slightly upscale American bar. It's multi-level with ample seating. read more

Imagine what a pub built as part of the Westfield would be like - yes that's right, clean and functional, but no soul - still better than shopping I suppose read more

Came here on a Sunday and was extremely disappointed. The barman who served us did not know where yo find half the drinks on the till and had to get someone else to help him. Then he was baffled by an order of the Sunday roast, which was on the specials board. When he eventually found it, he didn't know how to enter it into the till so another member of staff had to help him. This would have been forgiveable except that the food was terrible. My chicken sandwich was so slathered in mayo that I couldn't finish it and the vegetables from my husband's roast were inedible. Would not go there again. read more

Do not order the steak as it isn't fresh at all. Not worth for the price you pay. However, their fish and chips was decent and their service was rather good. read more

The bull is a place with great atmosphere and they have a really good selection of drinks to choose from. I like to go there every now and then with friends as we all live very local to the area. Every time I ask for a 125ml of wine it gets declined. The bartenders tends to make up excuses not to serve it. At the bottom of the wine list in small print it's says "125ml available on request" why have it there when you do not want to serve it?. It's false advertisement. One excuse that got me the most was, one bartender told me that the "125ml is only for old people" how pathetic of an excuse can you make up not to serve it. I find this shocking! As a customer I feel that it is a legal requirement to serve 125ml of wine to customers especially for those who are drivers. If other pubs can serve 125ml why can't you? I feel that this is something that should be addressed in the future at your pub. read more

Great staff and location but food was bad. Totally not worth the price. Strip sirloin came cold and disappointingly tasteless.
