A group of us where staying at the Alton Towers Hotel between two days at the park but didnt like the look of the restaurants there so decided to venture into Alton for food and we are so glad we did. The food at the Bulls Head was fantastic, i really cant compliment it enough, just couldnt complain about anything.... More

Although the location is great and the staff are very friendly, the meal experience was disappointing. Our table was booked for 8.30 pm which I know is not early but neither is that late as well to have run out of nearly everything. No olives and bread for starters. I wanted Lamb no Lamb asked for filet steak no filet... More

Me and my girlfriend were staying at the Alton Towers Resort for a couple of days but wanted to venture out for a bite to eat on the evening after hearing the all you can eat restaurant left alot to be desired. So we decided to take a trip down into Alton and came across this pub. She had the... More

My boyfriend and I planned to stay at the Bulls Head Inn the night before we went to Alton Towers as we wanted a good nights rest before a long day in the park. We SHOULD NOT have stayed here. The rooms are tiny and there is no door between the bedroom and the bathroom. The birds that the neighbours... More

I stayed here for a couple of nights as I wanted to sample a few bike rides in the Peak District with my son. We stayed in the annex which used to be the shop next door, and it was fine. The pub is clearly the place to meet anyone and everyone, and it was very friendly in there. We... More

We were greeted by a huge welcome on Easter Sunday evening, and the friendly tone remained at the heart of this gem, right until we left the following morning. We were taken up to our room by one of the staff, which looked to have been fairly recently refurnished and redecorated. The room was warm and had everything we could... More

We stayed for just one night on a return visit after a memorable stay 4 years ago and were made welcome again straightaway. Our room was cold on arrival but this was sorted out quickly. We had dinner in the lovely restaurant and we were definitely not disappointed, food was perfectly cooked, well presented and good value for money. Good... More

Stayed over here in Early March and had an absolutely fabulous time despite the sad occasion ... Bar was friendly owner was very personable room was lovely and the steak was to die for (and I am very picky)... Would thoroughly recommend.

Whilst staying the night at Alton Towers Hotel this week we decided to eat out rather than pay the exorbitant Alton Towers restaurant prices. We chose the Bull's Head again as we had a lovely meal here last year. We weren't disappointed as the food was deliciously home cooked and the Real Ale great. The pub bar area has a... More

We stayed overnight as we were visiting family in the area. The welcome was warm and professional, the room was huge (interestingly just down the street) and acceptable and the pub in the evening was great. Good beer, fantastic atmosphere, perhaps helped by the darts match. Breakfast was fine and the village itself is charming. We didn't stay on any... More
