Great food belly pork spot on highly recommend. Staff really good, great stop off point on the way to Manchester on wet snowy Sunday afternoon.
Went last night for a meal, was well worth the hour's drive as food was excellent. Fish and chips were lovely and a very generous portion size and my hubby said he enjoyed his Steak and Kidney pie better than his Christmas dinner! Plus had a lovely cosy table in front of the real fire.
THE nicest pork belly I’ve ever eaten. Perfect crackling! Would definitely recommend the food here.
Excellent selection of gins too.
We had the shared platter mezze, really enjoyed it, we sat in the barn area as we had our dogs with us, the staff were lovely. We always enjoy our visit to the Bulls Head.
Fantastic...lovely place, great staff, good food and ale, dog friendly...what's not to like
Great pub with a good atmosphere inside. Outside seating available with beautiful views. Food is excellent, reasonably priced and service is quick. � �
Good food, perfect location.
I really enjoy using The Bulls Head when I am in the area. We called in on Thursday evening for some food and as usual, great service with the food arriving very quickly. We really enjoyed the food, it was delicious!
The bar staff are always friendly and quick, a great experience as always.
Looking forward to re-visiting and maybe one day staying! 😊
I had lunch at Bulls Head with friends after a walk in the Peak District. The food was great, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was lovely. I would definitely recommend this pub to anyone looking for a good meal in the area.
Here are some specific things I liked about the pub:
The food was classic English pub fare, but it was all cooked to perfection.
The service was friendly and attentive.
The atmosphere was warm and inviting.
I would definitely go back to Bulls Head again. It's a great place to enjoy a delicious meal and relax after a day of exploring the Peak District.
We stopped off today for lunch at The Bulls Head Castleton.
The staff were extremely pleasant & helpful & very efficient.
We both had the rump steak, one with peppercorn sauce & the other with blue cheese sauce. Food was delicious 😋
hot & well cooked.
Excellent service & value for money.
The manager is very observant & hands on.
Will definitely eat there again. 😋
Nice pub with decent food. Had a lovely gammon steak with egg & pineapple plus good chips. Others in our party had good mains too. Desserts were very nice - sticky toffee pudding with custard but the custard was only lukewarm and bowls cold which detracted slightly. Reasonable prices.
Dropped in after a walk up Mam Tor. Quick few drinks and a lovely meal. Menu is varied and arrived in good time after ordering. The prices are reasonable for portions provided. We both enjoyed our meals very much. Bar staff were pleasant throughout the stay. If we head back to Castleton we will surely have a meal here. Would recommend. The only critique is the signage - no menu outside and there was no obvious sign that they were serving that day until we ventured inside. Would be a shame for people to miss out if they weren't as persistent as we were.
Beautiful spot, with great staff happy to recommend and offer tastings of their variety of beers, including plenty of local options. Food was delicious (including the kids options), fire was lit and it's dog friendly. Car park out the back with plenty of outdoor tables too. A proper pub.
I popped in for food on a Tuesday evening. I got a very friendly welcome and both food and beer was excellent. The Fish and Chips were crisp and tasty.
One negative point was the loud, intrusive heavy metal music coming from the kitchens that was competing with the more gentle music on the bar.
Had the pleasure of making several visits to the Bulls Head during a recent stay in Castleton. The team there really know how to look after their guests! Welcoming, friendly, helpful, and going the extra step to make the experience enjoyable.
The food was standard pub grub, but no less tasty for that. The kids' menu had a reasonable selection of dishes that provided good variety. A good selection of draft beers available that was well kept.
Definitely recommend a visit!
Staff were very accommodating, lovely food, great service, everyone very polite and helpful! Only downside was the benches on the front of the pub which blocks the pavement making it impossible to pass with prams, buggies and wheelchairs ♿️ we had to walk around the back of the pub to get access with mobility scooter and pram! Other than that it was lovely!
Just stopped for a couple of days. Staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was very clean, well layed out and well equipped. Food at both breakfast and dinner was faultless (thanks Cal). Will definitely be going back and can recommend. Thanks to all.

Cute little old style pub in a conveniently placed location on the main road.
We decided to visit here as on the walk back down from Mam Tor it was right there ready shouting at us to come sit down!
The staff were amazing a young lady in particular behind the bar, think by the name kaitlyn? No issue was too big she was amazingly friendly and welcomed us with a smile.
My partner had a steak burger to which after reading other reviews have absolutely no idea what other are on about dry ? Nothing of the sort it was juicy amazingly tasty and came with a decent portion of chunky chips, better than what we are used to from pub food.
The fish and chips was lovely we even came back for seconds on their "chippy Tuesday" where its £9 for a bloody good meal!
Only faults or improvements I would suggest personally is some of the curtains are slightly torn at the brackets where they are tied back and the lighting is a little dim but it's what you expect from an old pub anyway so nothing to grumble about, I was surprised at the standard of the toilets however, very clean, up to date and hygienic
Was very impressed would recommend it to anyone. Thank you for a great experience :)
We were passing through Castleton (which is a beautiful historic town btw) and decided to stop by this pub for a drink on a whim. Bar staff let us sample their ales before we ordered. We ordered 2 half pints to start and some ginger ales for the kids.
Friendly helpful service from the bar staff, great weather to enjoy the drinks. Did not have time to sample the food but will stop by next time if we are in the area.
To the owner - great attitude responding to the reviews and incorporating feedback! Good luck!
First time for us in this beautiful area . We popped in the Bulls Head today with my son and 10 year non verbal autistic grandson , eating out can be very challenging for him . We found a nice corner in the pub & I spoke to a lovely man behind the bar I think he said his name was Bryn or Bren so sorry I’m shocking with names he was very accommodating asking the chef to adapt a dish for our boy , which went down a treat , we ordered the fish & chip special which was delicious . All in all the pub itself is lovely, with a really nice atmosphere, very friendly staff , nothing is to much trouble for them . We will definitely be returning .
Great pub. Landlord friendly. They have a good selection of beers from the Robinsons brewery. They have a great Guinness alternative called Pitch, slightly livelier and not quite so heavy.. It's my new fave drink!
Warm cosy pub with great looking and smelling food!
definitely coming back here!
Lovely pub / hotel in the heart of Castleton with it's own carpark and beer garden.
The food is well priced and exceptional in its quality, well worth the wait!
A everyone welcome pub in the dog, easy access for those with mobility issues.
We has a fantastic meal at this pub. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and would highly recommend others to go! Staff were friendly and helpful too.
My first lunchtime visit for a couple of years. A lovely welcome from the staff was followed by an absolutely lovely main course followed by a dessert. Well worth the money and the ale was certainly good with a good selection to choose from. A great pub in an ideal location with pleasant smiling staff.
