We visited the Bulls Head for lunch last Sunday with our good friend Danny who had advised that…read morethis was by far the best pub in the locality. This was the second example of the "village pub and inn" offering from Mitchells and Butlers (massive pub and chain food operator in the UK) that I have visited recently and it was much more successful than its sibling in Sussex. The Bulls Head is a nice old building which has been restored with some care and retains plenty of period charm. There is a seating option to suit all tastes so it's good for couples, with plenty of intimate nooks to get romantic in, and it also works well for larger parties. There is a spacious terrace out back for when the weather is a little more pleasant than on our visit. There was a decent choice of beer on offer with Doom Bar, Bombardier and 6x on the hand pump; all in fine condition, crystal clear and served at a good temperature. B was drinking the house White which she said was ok if a little bland. With the "village pub and inn" brand it's obviously all about the food and they are trying to attract an older crowd who want to have a meal and a couple of drinks rather than the "wet" only punters. The menu was a bit war and peace which is always a warning sign but our choices were well executed and presented (although for many dishes this means it's, at the very least, part prepared and then reheated). The roast selection, you get a decent size portion of three meats, was pretty tasty although you could easily have shared this between two people. Service was fine although you need to keep on top of your servers; they are all quite young and seem well trained in avoiding eye contact if they are in a busy spell. All in all we had a very pleasant Sunday lunch here and we would not hesitate to return. A well-deserved, rather than a grudging, 3 stars.

Perhaps out of the way for a few people but it means you get a lot of the locals in there (like myself!) which leads to a very pleasant and jovial ambience to the play. The low wooden beams and moody lighting might be the staple of this chain of pubs but don't let that put you off, this really is in the spirit of traditional old country pubs. The food is pretty good and there's a good selection of lagers bitters and ales on tap for the discerning drinker. The staff and the new management are much improved and very friendly with the punters and won't shy from a bit of joking and banter. The car park is always full, especially on Sundays when people go in for the Sunday roast which if anything is a sign of a successful establishment.

Very cozy feeling with fireplaces and comfortable chairs/couches. Honestly, this is exactly what I expect a typical British pub/eatery to look and feel like. This place offers quite a few different drinks on tap with wine and liquor as well. No comment on the alcohol here as I opted for water. The food is traditional British cuisine with a number of fish/vegetarian options. I choose the fish pie, which quite honestly, was disappointing. The vegetables on the side were limp and far from fresh (unfrozen and heated up without any flavorings at all). The fish pie was not filling at all and lacked flavoring as well. I hesitated in giving this place 2 or 3 stars and in the end decided it could be rated higher for the atmosphere and potential. I think I ordered a poor dish and should have gotten the fish and chips instead, so I'll be trying that out next time along with one of there many desserts (too bad there wasn't the time to eat a dessert!)

The place really has character to it, and I have to say, regarding the copious amounts of wooden beams holding the ceiling up, it feels as thought the inside of the building should be listed as some sort of relic. The punters who drink here are also very old-worldy, and I always feel like I've stepped back in time when I've gone inside. I really love the selection of drinks sold here, and I usually buy a few different glasses of wine. But it's not any old wine, flavours range from strawberry to cherry to elderflower to plum to dandelion to nettle. I'm yet to try the nettle, next time eh! But all the ones I've tried so far have been very delicious, rich and strong! One thing that's very annoying about this pub is the opening times. Everything is very hazy, because the Griffin states that it closes at lunch times, but then seems to open whenever it feels like it. I've tried to go there at 3pm, 4pm and 5pm and it's been closed. Surely they should be open the majority of the day to bring in drinkers.

The pub was formerly a coach house back in the day, with low oak beams featuring inside - watch your head! There is a great selection on the menu - roasts, fish dishes, steaks and pies. I opted for the Homemade tomato soup which arrived steaming hot with shavings of Parmesan and croutons and brown bread - delicious! Next up was a Turkey roast lunch with all the trimmings and condiments such as cranberry sauce. Very tasty! Unfortunately I couldn't squeeze in dessert but apple pie, Creme Brûlée, and lemon cheesecake featured. Will have to try all three next time!! The service was slow to begin with, probably because it was so busy but once we received our food the service was great and they were attentive.
