Top end for pub food. Very nice, although quite a few dishes were ‘off’ the menu. Staff gaming around when not busy, probably because so young. A nice meal and will probably return

We visited for our Christmas Day lunch and we couldn’t of been more pleased with the afternoon we had. The food was absolutely amazing - sometimes it’s a little disappointing eating out Christmas Day - but this was absolutely beautiful food, cooked to perfection. The highlight being the turkey, roast potatoes & cauliflower cheese! Also the extra gravy provided without having to ask for it, is the perfect touch! The service was absolutely impeccable, frequent & attentive service without being invasive. The staff giving up their afternoon to serve us couldn’t have been happier or more willing to help. Nothing was too much to ask. We have dined here numerous times before and will always continue to visit. But I couldn’t let this visit pass without writing a well deserved 5* review. Thank you to all of the team at The Bull! (The only TINY thing was the pigs in blankets were not to our taste, so maybe some different ones, cooked extra crispy next year would be fabulous ?)

We came here with friends and we all had different food. It was a busy night as it was coming up for Christmas but all of our food was great. It was all hot and nicely cooked. The Waiter was very attentive and friendly. This all made a very enjoyable evening. We will be back!

The pub is very comfortable and the staff are great, very attentive. I went with a friend for Christmas Festive lunch. We pre-ordered and got off to a good start with tempura prawns, very good. Main course not so good my friend ordered sea bass and I ordered turkey, the sea bass was fine but the turkey was so overcooked and hard, was unable to cut it let alone eat it! Vegetables came, far too many traditional roast veg and Brussels sprouts but, weirdly, they were covered in garlic butter!! They were all returned to be thrown away, so wasteful. Will go again but not for a set menu.

Great atmosphere and excellent service. The Mixed grille however was served on a cold plate with cold onion rings. The rest of the meal was just warm. The 5 oz steak was missing and never arrived but the cold onion rings were eventually replaced. What should have been a pleasant evening meal turned out to be a big disappointment.

Had a Sunday carvery here and it was lovely. Staff were great and atmosphere really nice. Would recommend and be back again soon.

Absolutely a great diner to go for. The food was delicious and with big portions. Very reasonable price. Superb service and I really like the spacious but cozy ambience in the restaurant. Highly recommended.

Excellent food. Highly recommended the mixed grill. Will be back to try the carvery.

First time we’ve visited this local restaurant / pub and must say it was superb. Service, atmosphere and food were excellent. Starters were piping hot, mains were excellent. I opted for the holy guacamole burger. The girls also has sweets which were good. On top of that. A massive shout out to Kate for her superb service and sense of humour. The coffee they have from St Martins coffeehouse is also excellent. We shall definitely be returning.

My partner and I come here often, everytime we like to try a different dish and we are never disappointed but today I tried the Tuxford chicken! Something a little out my comfort zone but wow! It was incredible. Staff are always pleasant to which is a bonus! Thanks all
Favourite pub in Leicestershire! Every-time at The Bull we always have an amazing experience. The food is really good quality, wide ranges of dishes and desserts. Our personal favourites is the Mixed Grill, Eton Mess and Surf & Turf. Staff are always happy to help, so friendly and fast service in the restaurant. We really benefit with the pub having one side of the pub dedicated to being dog friendly! Definitely worth a visit! ?

We eat here a lot but today, my wife’s birthday, a family celebration, is was very dissatisfied with the food quality. I brought this to the attention of the staff who were very good but would have expected a management response. Very poorly cooked and prepared food. Hugely disappointed

We visit the Bull regularly for mid week lunches and Sunday lunch. We are always very impressed with the welcome, professionalism and friendliness of all the staff. We have always enjoyed our meals, the staff always check that everything is ok with the meals at exactly the right time. We have never had a problem with any of our meals but are sure if we did they would remedy it without an issue (unlike other establishments we have reviewed!). We particularly enjoy the Wexford Chicken,the Atlantic Cod, the filled Yorkshire Pudding and of course the wonderful carvery - good quality meats and great to have roast lamb as a choice. We look forward to many more visits, so glad we live locally.

Nice meal for 4 adults on a weekday lunch. The pub was surprisingly busy so I would recommend calling before going. Food was tasty and hot, service was great.Kid-friendliness: Bouncy castle and play house in the gardenWheelchair accessibility: Everything is on one level
