24/09/2021 - 7.30pm. Unfortunately it wasn’t as expected … I had chicken and rib combo… the chicken hardly had any chicken on the leg , also it was quite dark in the restaurant so not sure it was cooked properly as could see some pink bits of meat - the ribs had so little meat on it but what it did have on was extremely tough to get off… not at all enjoyable. The two friends I was with who came all the way from Kent enjoyed their burgers (thank god). Service was ok … not particularly fast but we were chatting so didn’t really worry about getting served quickly. Waitresses could smile a bit more! Have had afternoon tea there before and it was really nice so expected the evening meal to be the same.

This is our local pub and we visit regularly for meals and drinks. The food is generally very good but the wait time between ordering and receiving food is unacceptable. The menu is reasonable but there always seems to be a number of items not available. This is also the case with drinks. There doesn’t seem to be any consistency with staff, including the chef, and this doesn’t help with standards of service or efficiency. Needs a good shake up and standards raising to bring customers back.

No atmosphere, food not great, girls serving inexperienced, nice enough. Wouldn’t recommend or return. Poor.

Well dined here on Saturday 25 September me my gf my son and his gf and we all really enjoyed our food cooked and presented really good staff was very polite and helpful I'll definitely be eating here again for sure

Went for our first night out in ages and although we waited a while for our meals it was worth it. The food was delicious and the supervisor comped us a couple of drinks because of the wait. We didn't even complain! Would definitely recommend and will visit again soon. Overall a fantastic experience.

Great meal, lots of choice and cooked perfectly. Lovely place nicely decorated and staff friendly and helpful, a shame it was empty needs to be spoke of more to get more people to go there. Definitely be back

Craft and Jam sort your management out first and if your serious about running the bull and keeping it open then I suggest one of you get down and help the poor under paid staff you employ, who on a Saturday night giving drinks away just to keep diners happy while waiting literally hours for food and watching others walk off in disgust. Shocking way to run a business and you want to be ashamed. Please don’t blame covid as it was exactly the same before covid came along. The locals want the pub but are fast losing patience.

When ever we are in town we always make sure to have a meal at the White Hart. Absolutely top notch food and service, they never disappoint.

Hi, we visited last night after hearing good reviews and the menu looks lovely. However unfortunately we arrived at 6.30 and there was not a single other customer in there. Also my partner wanted a couple of vodkas with his meal and there was none at all available. It was such a shame because it looks a lovely place but needs a stock of vodka and a bit of atmosphere! The barman was very apologetic and it wasn’t his fault at all.

We had booked a table for 8 for 5.45 and all arrived on time. The food when it arrived was absolutely fine. But the problem was we had wait 50 minutes to receive it! We also I had to chase the staff to take our order for drinks and food, as they didn't ask us. At a guess they had some problems with staff this night, We would all have had puds and more drinks but time had moved on by the time we had eaten, and as we had young children we had to go as it was nearing 7.30 by this time. I really hope this was just a one off.

Excellent as ever, have been a few times now and the quality of food and service is very good.

I dined here on a Monday evening and was surprised how busy it was (restaurant was full) as Monday's are often quieter in hospitality. Service was a little slow at points, though I had no time constraints so not an issue. I did have to chase up a drink order at one stage though. I ate the chicken strips with blue cheese sauce for starter, which was tasty. Coating had some heat to it, which was nice, but may not suit all. For main I had the brisket, which was excellent. The portions were generous, and I was pretty stuffed afterwards! I would eat here again.

Excellent service,great food..very friendly staff,highly recommended

Absolutely beautiful meal that was served perfectly. Thank you

Lovely staff very welcoming, the atmosphere was very friendly. The food was the roast we’ve had in a long time.

We had some friends visiting telford and decided as they are house hunting to eat at the Swan. The food was lovley except the roast potatoes were very hard and not one of the six of us could eat them, the sweet section was very limited and we all left a bit disappointed, the staff were great and very helpful.

great food, unfortunately the 2 hour wait for food ruined the night, this coupled with the server not knowing what was ordered made for a very poor experience - chips were out of a bag and not 'hand cut at the Bull' all in all we wont be going back in a hurry
