The Bull's Head Inn

We called for a meal on the way home from Alton Towers, 6 adults and 3 children. The food was excellent and the staff were friendly and couldn’t do enough for us (The football was on but once it had finished the channel was swapped for us to watch the rugby World Cup) Clean plates all round. Good selection of food to choose from and fresh and home made. We will definitely call again if we are in the area.

Whilst staying at Alton village we went In our first night to be told it was fully booked and told to book 24 hrs in advance. No problem with that and we did so we went back the next evening. As soon as we sat down we were told, just so your aware: We have no steaks No pies. No lasagne left on the menu. This basically left, pizza, kebab or burgers.... 50% of a very small menu wiped out..... if you have limited choices at least have all the options! Food was ok, you could taste a coating off the grill On kebab meat so I think that needs a good clean but it was very average. We didn't stay for desert as we heard the table opposite be told we have none of this , none of that: and when the mother went ill Just have a coffee They said the coffee machine was broke

Visited last time we came to Alton Towers and was great. Nearly didn’t return due to some of the reviews. Wasn’t busy when we went and was very friendly service and food was also great, great sized portions and no complaints from any of the meals. A nice pint of Cruzcampo and reasonable prices compared to Alton Towers.

Decided to try the Bulls Head in Alton on August 1st wish we'd never bothered really. There wasn't many people dining some of the meals others had would have easily been enough for 2 people. I ordered popcorn prawns with sweet chilli sauce mayo (never saw any) to be fair they were nice. Choice was limited i chose a Greek salad to accompany my prawns what a let down it was. The salad consisted of about 70 olives, what seemed a full pack of feta, a few thin slices of tomato some finely chopped onion. It was so bland watery nothing like a proper Greek salad should be. My cousin lived in Crete for years hers taste a million times better (not joking either). 2 stars due to the prawns being ok (otherwise would be 1 star). Sadly, we'd hoped for better.

Spent the afternoon there while kids were at Alton towers was made to feel very welcome and the dog too ! Free wifi so I could work from there and the fish and chips were delicious lovely pub and lovely staff
