We spent our May Day at one of our favourite country pubs,
The Old Bull's Head situated in the gorgeous little village of Woodhouse in the
National Forest. Decorated with beautiful sketches of cows and bulls throughout, this pub has a classy but cosy pub which serves local ales and food that is simply divine.
Chili and Lime homemade crisps greeted us as we sat down. A perfect little opener for our meal. Just right.
As usual, we went for the sharing bread platter. Three delicious breads (one seeded, one cheesey and one malted) served alongside olive oil, olives and a herby, seedy dip which was a fantastic addition to the bread board.
Dan and I chose burgers for our lunch. A burger is not something that I would usually choose but it sounded so lovely.
The burger had a delightful char, the mustard mayo was a perfect accompaniment to the beef. Crispy frites were served with a red pepper chutney that was absolutely to die for. It was possibly the best burger I have ever had.
And then for the little bee. I always commend a restaurant who caters for the little guys. And I'm not talking run of the mill chicken nuggets etc. Our little bee chose the Fish Fingers with the same crispy chips that we had with our burgers. Fresh cod fillets in light and fluffy batter which screamed '
I was made five minutes ago'. Because of my aversion to children's menus, I usually just let Louie share our meals, but when the standard is this high, he can have whatever he desires, I mean, that is more for me right!
With fantastic friendly service, beautiful surroundings and food this good, I can not wait for the next time we visit The Old Bull's Head.
