The pub has updated its menu to include a wide range of new dishes, including slow-cooked rib of beef, shepherd’s pie and Mediterranean-style roasted vegetable linguine, while roasts are available every Sunday.

It also offers a fixed-price menu with three courses on weekdays, with prices set from noon to 5pm and 5pm onwards.

General manager Tracy Long said: “We’re thrilled to welcome guests, both familiar faces and new friends, to experience our pub’s new look, whilst keeping the cosy feel of The Bulls Head we all know and love.”
