| As a keen dog owner I love this pub. The only place for miles you can get a welcome , and Bob the Dog usually gets free biccies. I loved Young's Brewery , did the 135 tour years ago. Was a bit devastated when the ultra-traditional brewery sold up to make a packet. Geeeeee ... I've nearly always enjoyed the food & the beer is fine. Parking can be fraught. gorgoblin - 16 Apr 2011 10:00 |
| As a resident of Chislehurst I have been a regular at the Bulls Head Hotel. Unfortunately I have had a particular bad experience on my last two visits that has left me wondering whether to return. 1) 6 of us went for Saturday lunch. The pub was quiet however we waited over an hour for a few very basic dishes. Most annoyingly when the food did arrive, three out of the 5 dishes ordered (all vegetarian lasagne's) arrived cold. We duly asked for them to be returned to the kitchen and unbelievably they were returned cold again, with garlic bread that had simply been put to one side why the lasagna was re-microwaved. However, I must say on complaint to the manager they were generous enough to refund the cost of all the meals served. 2) Most recently we visited with some friends and their 3 year old little girl. Our friends asked if they could heat up a un-opened tin of spaghetti as their child suffers with numerous of allergies and couldn't eat food from the menu, They refused due to it being 'against the law'. I completely understand that restaurants need to be health and safety conscious, however it is not true that it is against the law they are simply protecting themselves from the remote possibility of being sued should the child burn their mouth. In addition, this healthy & safety consciousness did not seem to stretch to them cleaning off the trays on the high chair provided. Baby wipes to the rescue. However, on this occasion food was good and only a very minor error of cheese missing from the cheeseburger. heidisimpson - 19 Mar 2011 16:40 |
| I am the current Landlord of The Bulls Head and have been since June 2010. I feel that the accusations of baldyone require answering. When I took over The Bulls head there were no 36's (brewers barrels) or any syphoning kits in the pub. Whilst I don't doubt that Baldyone spoke the truth about something that happened in the dim and distant past (I have in my career taken over 2 pubs where this was the practice before I arrived). I do however take offence with the incinuation that this practice continues. I have contacted Baldyone and invited him to have a look around my cellar, no response as yet. I would like to offer any of my customers who are concerned about these allagations the chance to see for themselves, simply ask for me at the bar and I will be happy to show you around (obviously I don't want to be doing this forever so the offer stands until the end of April 2011).

| used to work there as a cellarman/assistant manager.sorry to dissappoint you real ale drinkers out there but everything is filtered back into the 36 galon barrells of bitter once a couple of gallons has been sold out of it so people dont notice.i was encouraged to do this by the manager.the quickest way to get rid of this (dodgy brew )was to sell it through the function room at the back as a wedding party or any large function would soon empty the barrell.yes i do have a grudge against youngs as we were treated like shit by them.but im only telling the truth and the way it was when i worked there.so go there and make your own decisions.happy drinking. baldyone - 6 Dec 2010 17:17 |
| Visiting from Sussex and came here with the family after a pleasant Sunday afternoon walk. Greeted by a miserable-looking bar-hogger who wouldn't move out of the way, while I was trying to browse the beer pumps. Service was with a frown. After a couple of expensive rounds, we asked if we could use the baby-changing facilities. We were told that we couldn't because there was a function on and that they were in the function room. The "function" was the tail-end of a christening, and I doubt that anyone would have minded us using these. Changed our baby's nappy in the garden and left. Probably fine if you're a local, but I wouldn't go here again. Though this could have been more of a general Chislehurst vibe than a bad pub. Sponk - 11 Oct 2010 11:28 |
