Situated across the road from the rear entrance to Piccadilly Station, the Bulls Head's ornately painted Victorian exterior attracts both travellers and a faithful band of regulars. While the interior is basically open-plan it nevertheless manages to generate the atmosphere of cosy intimacy that you might expect to find in a more suburban location. Run with superb professionalism across the board, the Bulls Head never disappoints and is a beacon for quality. Evidence of this is in the numerous awards from both CAMRA and trade bodies received in recent years for the quality of their beer and pub. The guest beers are usually from the Marston's stable but other brewers' products making an appearance. There are usually 3 of the 4 handpumps being used.

NB may close earlier on Sunday evening if trade is slack.
