"Myself and a colleague were in the area on business and decided to meet up for dinner. The Bull's head is close to the airport and the motorway and seemed ideal. We had a pleasant evening, the bar was busy and the food was standard pub fayre but pleasant. So far, no complaints. However, 19 days later a received in the post a fine from SMART PARKING for £100 £60 if I paid straight away) for having the audacity to park on the pub car park while I ate my meal in the pub! At no point did any of the staff ask if I was parked in the car park or ask for my registration details apparently this is the procedure if you wish to bring your car to the Bull's Head). In another similar comment about the parking scam, the management say the parking procedures are clearly displayed in the car park. It was dark and raining and, frankly, when arriving at a pub for a meal, I tend not to enquire about the parking charges. Maybe I'm old fashioned and out of touch. The management also distance themselves from the fines by saying the car park is operated by SMART PARKING and, by implication, the car park is none of their business. However, there's clearly a commercial relationship between the Bull's Head and the company operating the car park on their premises. I'm sure some of my £60 fine will find it's way into the till along with the receipts for the food and drink. Pubs in the UK are closing at an alarming rate due to high costs, taxation and a general decline in pub attendance and it's understandable that publicans should seek to maximise income. However, rinsing customers with a car park scam does not seem, to me at least, the way to go. I've paid my fine and I won't be returning for seconds."

"Booked for a family 60th Birthday. The birthday girl was in an electric wheelchair. The staff did everything possible to make it a memorable day. We had afternoon tea and the food was fresh and delicious. There was so much food we were given boxes to take the extra home with us. I would definitely go here again. The atmosphere was great."

"Ordered Tonight On Justeat, The Food arrived baking hot 20/25 Minutes before stated delivery time which was fantastic. I went with BBQ Ribs, Salt and pepper starter combination and a roast duck chow mein The BBQ Ribs: Came in foil container, 5 Ribs in the portion, tasted great, they went a little overboard with the BBQ sauce which made it a touch messy to eat. 4/5 Salt and Pepper Starter Combo: This was the most expensive thing out the three things i ordered at £9.00 and it left me with mixed feelings, small ribs, small chunks of salt and pepper chicken and a minimal amount of seaweed and vegitables to go alongside it, However that being said, It did taste nice, Just not enough quantity to warrant the price. 3/5 Roast Duck Chow Mein: Overall the best part of the meal. Came in its own little plastic bowl lots of chunks of meat this time around, soft noodles with it too tasted great. the sauce was really tasty, No complaints, a full five star roast duck chow mein 5/5 Overall: Glad i ordered from here and i will be definatly ordering again. The delivery time was quick and the driver friendly. Food was hot on arrival. Price for this meal was £22.70, Would of been nice to get it for £20 a touch expensive but not going to break your bank. Would be nice for them to maybe include handwipes in their order as some of the food can be messy or greasy. 4/5 Final Score 16/20 (worth a visit!"

"So I attended TGI sale, a birthday meal for my partner, I wanted the ribs sadly they were unavailable, so i settled for sesame chicken strips, when they arrived i expected freshly made chicken strips, they seemed to be a frozen piece of crunchy tastless oil swamped chicken substitute, i dont like to cause a scene so crunched my way through, but was massively disappointed, he ordered the steak, when it arrived the first thing he said was how small the portion of chips were, like it wouldn't of satisfied our toddler, then comes the steak, we requested medium rare, it arrived well done, so called the waiter over who took it back to the kitchen, by the time they arrived back with a replacement my food was finished, the food was placed on the table and without even touching it he said he knew it was over cooked again, the food runner stood watching in anticipation for his approval, he cut into the steak again wasn't medium rare, although it was medium well not well done Still wasn't as requested medium rare, again majorly disappointed he handed it back and said just leave it, given the fact TGI did have a good name and with the prices, you'd expect a lot better, definitely won't be attending this venue again,"

"If you ever want to be spoken down to or be on the receiving end of an attitude problem. Definitely go through the drive thru here. Whoever did the drive thru on Thursday 18th June at approx 630ish needs to be trained again. Asked for a Belgium cooler with cream, got told it was a frostino, I questioned it as we 've ordered these before, Miss Attitude bluntly replied it 's a frostino , decided not to get that option, asked for something else, was told they 've ran out, asked for a peach iced tea and was asked what size, I mistakenly asked for regular not remembering they only do 2 sizes but excuse me for not knowing, Miss attitude just kept repeating the 2 specific sizes they do with the sh1ttest attitude I 've ever heard. No explanation or advising me they only do specific sizes. At this point I asked her what her attitude was all about and she just kept talking over me saying yeah yeah is there anything else or something to that effect. I asked for a coffee frostino with an extra shot and made the grave error of asking for regular again so back came the sh1tty response giving only 2 sizes. Already decided at this point I 'd rather sh1t in a field than be spoken to that way, arrived at the window, shocked the poor guy with a triage of incoherent rambling about how vile her attitude was and cancelled the order. He was great, apologised and offered to get the drinks but couldn 't be bothered at this point. I beg for anyone from HO who reviews this to listen to the audio on that order."

"Three of us arrived here mid-afternoon, tired and hungry. The place was lively and busy. Despite this, we were quickly served with a most satisfying meal and drinks. Well prepared and presented, portions of a size to satisfy any appetite. A comfortable, cheerful hostelry in the heart of a pleasant little community. Well worth a vist."

"From the moment we walked in to Table 10 and was greeted by the lovely Karen we knew we'd made a good choice for our ad hoc date night. Our starters mains were delicious. Excellent locally sourced quality ingredients and the combination of tastes felt like little angels dancing on our tongues. The portions sizes were just right too. We opted for an Irish coffee each instead of a dessert which was delicious. The owner/chef came to our table for a chat and it's obvious that he's very passionate about the food he serves. Great night."
"they were here twice and it was delicious. I think I have to try the buttermilk chicken burger for lunch, from which everyone speaks and defines the afternoon with the girls. all staff are friendly and polite. keep them the good work they do a good work. I will definitely recommend them."

"Downloaded the app. Nothing worked. Ordered at the bar, paid £2.25 extra for beef on my burrito bowl. When it came out, there was literally 5g of beef and sauce added to the smallest burrito bowl I have ever seen. The bowl itself was fine. But if I had paid just £10 for the bowl itself, as standard, I would have been furious. But then having paid £2.25 for an extra 5g of beef. After asking for an opinion from the staff (who were extremely helpful), it sounded like they either agreed and didn’t want to comment, or didn’t really know what a standard protein portion on a standard meal should be. Ground beef is cheap. Slow cooked ground beef is low maintenance, cheap easy to prepare. My concerns about the portion sizes were confirmed when I was brought out a 2nd portion of the beef… which appeared to be no more than 10g of beef (if you were being generous), and a lot of sauce. For context. At home, you could make 500g of the same thing for around £5.00… and as a business, buying at wholesale, bulk prices, you can make it a lot cheaper. So even if you were serving a standard portion of protein 20 30g for an adult you’d still make money, if you were buying wagyu ground beef from waitrose. If you are looking for decent food… give this one a miss. The service and drinks are all standard for a chain pub, its just the food that is a scam. Staff were 10/10 though, and brought me out a 2nd portion, with no drama. But even 2 portions of that beef wasn’t really enough protein for an adult. And there was far too much sauce to cover the fact that there was hardly any beef"

"[READ THIS IF YOU DON 'T WANT TO WASTE MONEY) You definitely feel thirsty after the meal as the food are oily and salty. Food quality are bad, not traditional Thai food. No service at all. The staff just ignore my desk as we finished our dish, no one come and clear our table. Poor Service! One more note, make sure to check the bill as they include service charge in the bill. The all you can eat just cost £19.9 per each but they input £1 additional service charge per head in the bill, which is £20.9. When we questioned the staff what is happening, they said this is a optional service charge and we have a choice to not pay the £1 per head. This made me consider the waitress is untruthfulness which mandatory the guest to pay for it. Very very disappointed experience. I definitely won 't eat this shop as there are lots of choice in Trafford Centre."

"I recently visited a great restaurant near Urmston railway station and had an amazing experience. The place was spacious and perfect for families, with plenty of room for children. The music added to the classic atmosphere. The food was top-notch, with high-quality ingredients and delicious flavors. The menu had a variety of Mediterranean dishes, especially Turkish foods, which was a pleasant surprise. As a vegetarian, I appreciated the selection of veg dishes. The staff was friendly and efficient. I tried the veggie moussaka and tzatziki, both of which were fantastic. The desserts were also fresh and delicious. The owners even came to chat with us to ensure we were happy. The bar area was beautiful and had open doors for warmer evenings. The wine selection was impressive and the restaurant was exceptionally clean. The prices were reasonable for the quality of food and the decor was eye-catching. I would highly recommend this restaurant for birthday parties or any special occasion. I definitely plan on returning in the future."

"--- **Delivery Meal Review** **Meal Type:** Dinner **Price per Person:** £10–£20 **Food Rating:** 5/5 **Service Rating:** 5/5 **Recommended Dish:** Fish, Chips, and Peas --- The meal I ordered for dinner was absolutely delightful! Priced between £10 and £20 per person, it offered great value for the quality of food. The fish, chips, and peas were a standout—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Additionally, the service was excellent, making the entire experience enjoyable. Highly recommend this dish! --- Let me know if you need any further modifications!"

"The standard of food from this takeaway is extremely variable. On Saturday 9/1/21 we ordered Butter Chicken and Butter Paneer curry. Both were really poor. The sauce had almost raw crunchy onions in it. There were multiple pieces of hard chicken gristle in the curry. Not much flavour to either dish. We have had much better experiences with this takeaway in the past but the standard of this particular meal was unacceptable and as a result I don’t think we will be ordering from here again any time soon."

"I ordered food for delivery two days ago without realizing that the restaurant had changed owners since my last visit. When the food arrived, the driver did not have the correct change for my order and promised to return with it, but never did. The food itself was disappointing; the chicken burger buns were soggy and falling apart, and the burger had a strange texture. The pizza did not match the description online and included tandoori chicken, which was not mentioned. I called the store to address the issues with my order and was told they were busy and would call me back, but never did. After two days of waiting, I went to the store to speak to someone in person, only to be told it was a mistake on their end with no offer to make things right unless I returned the food. It was a frustrating experience, and I would have appreciated a phone call as promised."

"I loved this place! Excellent fish and chips, mushy peas, and a curry sauce to die for. There were three different choices of curry sauce and I was allowed to try before ordering. I loved chatting to the owners, who were so friendly. They have not been in charge for long and deserve every success in my humble opinion."

"This turned out to be such a wonderful surprise! My partner and I stopped in for dinner while at the Trafford Centre one evening, and I'll admit that I'd gone in with fairly low expectations (none of my previous shopping mall dining experiences had ever gone well, before/were only ever done out of necessity to please a group), but this ended up knocking my socks off! We were met within a minute of arriving at the door and seated right away. Our server was a very pleasant woman, who took our drink food orders in a timely manner, and we didn't have to wait long for our meal • their vegan/gluten-free offerings were quite limited, but we were able to share the paella for two it was absolutely beautiful!! Full of colour and flavour, it reminded us both of a dish made with love at home, and proved to be more than enough food for two people, at a fairly reasonable price. It's actually been a few weeks since our visit, but we're still talking about the paella planning to visit again soon!"

"We went as it is close to home, we have previously gone and been satisfied with the menu, food and service. It was a busy day as it was half term. My husband ordered the tapas and was pleased with his dishes, however, I ordered the standard burger and fries. The burger was overcooked dry and looked almost burnt, the fries were cold dry and crunchy. Should have complained but it was really busy and have decided not to go there again."

"we had a big job for people, some dishes were ok, but overall not happy. I had garlic-king prawn puri, which was delicious, but my main course lamb tikka methi was absolutely terrible, it tasted like burned oxo and the lamb. was bad quality. the peshwari naans that we ordered did not have a lot of filling and we could not taste the cocose. the rice was long chalked instead of basmati. the one court that the people enjoyed was the begali fish special. overall we were underwhelmed by the aromes and did not cost the meal. we wouldn't come back."

"We celebrated my wife's birthday with lunch at this restaurant and it was a delightful experience. We received excellent service from the moment we walked in until we left. The food was amazing, beautifully presented, hot, and served promptly. The restaurant and kitchen staff even signed a menu for my wife to commemorate the special day, and we were pleasantly surprised to see Roberto Flamino (formerly of Liverpool FC) dining there as well. Great job to everyone involved!"

"Going to visit the Bean and Brush has seemed to become a weekly occurrence! It is a lovely family cafe that serves great food. Eggs Benedict is my favourite and my husband often choses the breakfast pizza. There is a good selection of drinks and the menu is reasonably priced. We always get good service and as they are open until 7pm we sometimes take a visit after school for tea. Always quick service. The art studio is upstairs where you can paint a pot or decopatch and has really friendly and helpful staff."
