The Bulls Head, Swinton

Having recently relocating to the area I tried out the local pubs to find one that suited me.On my initial visit to the Bull [nov2007] I was somewhat underwhelmed, my second visit was in june this year and was pleasantly surprised,the pub had undergone a thorough clean with a change of management and attitude ,I found the barstaff to be very polite and most helpful.I regularly have my lunchtime pint and read the paper [free issue] lunches are a recent addition, basic but reasonably priced.the effort put in by the staff for holloween from the decoration to the entertainment was excellent and I look forward to the christmas decorations and entertainment in the build up to the festive period.I must agree with a comment from another post, that the pub is in need of a refurbishment.Since regularly visiting the pub I have not seen the alleged scallies/ bad atmosphere. I think the beer is of good quality and fairly priced.This new management, in my opinion, has to be commended on their efforts.
