I have spent here a pleasant Saturday evening with some of my friends. The pub is nicely furnished and the staff is friendly and helpful, always willing to give advice on the best beer to match with your food. Talking about the beers, they have their own brewery and a good selection of world ones. The food was not bad and I enjoyed it. I would definitely come back
I love the Bull, it is one of my favorite local pubs here in lovely, leafy Highgate!
It's a gorgeous, historic pub reminiscent of a country pub, with a lovely garden to dine in and a beautiful dining area on the second floor.
Excellent traditional pub cuisine and Sunday roast. Wednesday night is wing night special and the wings are properly spiced and tasty. Friendly service and occasional live entertainment. Great beer selection and wine list.
I'm a pub roast sceptic. My stance, in general, is that roasts are one of the few meals that are insurpassably better when they are homemade. Slithers of meat accompanied by stodgy potatoes and a heap of wet veg, drizzled lightly in thin gravy, as if it were a salad dressing? No thanks.
The Bull is the first pub *ever* to make me rethink this.
I had the pork belly, after some discussion with the waiter. She recommended this due to its size and the good crackling. I was swung by this as I didn't want a meagre portion. And she was completely right. The belly was longer than any I'd seen before and it was crisped to perfection. The beautiful moist meat was superb and the crackling was divine. I really couldn't have asked for anything better.
The roast potatoes weren't any good, but I guess that's too much to hope for!
It's also just a lovely pub. We sat outside on a sunny day, but inside was also charming - just like a pub should be. There was a great stack of boardgames too. I wasn't drinking but there was obviously a good selection.
