The Bull's Head Inn

Tried here while on a trip to Alton Towers…originally told they were fully booked for food, but they managed to squeeze us in because of our predicament…thank you: food was good, staff amazing and a lively buzz to the place. Will definitely visit again when around the area

It was such a lovely place to visit with great food and friendly and professional staff

Superb food and local IPA, Highly recommend if in the area hiking or staying at one of the resorts nearby. This pub seem’s sleepy from the outside but when letting yourself through the door, you’ll find a bright and polished tavern. Great menu, friendly staff on hand, order at the bar, service is snappy if orders in early (before 7)…the feel of the restaurant extends somewhat into the bar which is where we chose to sit and enjoyed to have the bar in view and see people come and go. Would like to have stayed there later when the pub would have really turned into a pub and would have become more lively than it was. Alton is a sleepy village after all but I have no doubt the Bulls head is it’s beating heart late into the evening!

Despite not being too busy, we had to wait 50 minutes for food. The staff were really friendly and gave us a free round, but the wait was really long and we were left waiting for drinks for quite a while too. Food was a mixed bag, and averaged out at about okay. The kebab was good but the beef burger wasn’t great. Overall wouldn’t rush back, I’d recommend one of the other local pubs instead.

Don't bother eating at any of the Alton Tower hotels. Drive 5 minutes away and go to this place. The food was awesome and cost less than Flambo Jambo junk. Get the steak and chicken kebab... It's brilliant
