Went there tonight with a friend looking to have a good time, but we didn't. The service was horrible we waited a half hr for someone to come take our order then when we received our food it was disgusting. Their mild wings tastes like BBQ and their honey garlic boneless wings didn't taste right either and you only get about 6 wings per serving. So needless to say go for the free pool, but NOT the food!! HORRIBLE!!

I have actually been here many times, but it’s one of those places that just makes me feel good and being a regular I don’t usually take photos.
My go-to is always wings and nachos but my favourite part of being at this pub is the service, they are hands down awesome!
They have arcade games, pool tables, TVs to watch latest games; such relaxed atmosphere and their patio gets the nice afternoon sun!

For years, a group of myself and colleagues have come here every Thursday. Part of the reason we keep coming back year after year are the bartenders who work the Thursday shift. Adam and Craig are part of what makes the Bull our go to spot. Recently, Craig has been taken off this shift by management and there is genuine disappointment on our group about this decision.

I am a regular here so very familiar with the staff. One day my wallet was stolen and two new employees agreed to pay the bill and I promised to come back and pay it.

When I came to pay it the bartender was so accommodating thanked me for being honest and provided excellent service.

When the manager found out he starting creating issues with the staff which was completely inappropriate. I continue to go for the 10 out of 10 staff but management needs to understand they’re running a 5 star restaurant and they’re job is not that serious.

10/10 would recommend to a friend you’ll have a great time, just make sure you tip your staff cause they seem to have deal with bad owners

Shout to harry the new bartender, 10/10

I came here with my work team for a lunch - it was a cozy spot, great service, and great food!! I got a turkey burger and it was perfectly cooked! I ate every bite.

Had a good evening at The Bull. Our server was Kathy. She was great! Very friendly and attentive. We had some great nachos and nice cold wine on a hot day.

Thank you Kathy!!!

The place has roaches. I killed an adult roach at my table. Staff were nice enough to comp my meal, but based on what was told to me, there is a significant problem that is only getting worse.

We did not feel welcome at all, No one was caring about our table. We just-ordered a beer and left. Never coming back

My wife and I used to come here regularly but last night marks the end of that. I can forgive that it was a but busier because of a very large party (80 + people we were told) but there should have been servers scheduled/ assigned specifically to them and not forced to also juggle the patio. The result was the requested modification to my order not being addressed but since we didn’t see her from the time we ordered, there was no way to address it so I had to either let it get cold or eat it as is. The food itself was the standout disappointment as it seems as though this chain has recently adopted the “frozen is faster” philosophy, delivering fish and chips and chicken fingers comparable to what you’d find at the grocery store. This was not the crispy, flavourful hand-battered fish they served previously but a uniform, crumbly batter on something that was in a cardboard box 10 minutes before it was on my plate. The fries reminded me of something I’d get from a lesser fast food restaurant. If you’re going to cut costs, then the price should reflect that but clearly the focus is now on maximizing profit margins at any cost, and at the patrons’ expense. Going forward, we’ll take our business to one of the countless other neighbourhood pubs but hopefully the owners/company reads this and realize that most people aren’t going to take the time to tell you what they think. They just stop supporting you.
