This was a great find, it was the only friendly place to eat that was open in the area of our Torquay spa hotel. The staff were friendly and took my allergies seriously. They adapted my meal so I could still have the Cowboy Burger subbed the chips for a baked potato. My husband had the Hunters Chicken and loved it. They also do a limited amount of cocktails which again were good quality. The music was heavy metal and not the easiest to eat too. The chef did come out and check on my once the food was served, and he offered us a drink on the house. Which was so unexpected and made us feel valued. If you're a heavy metal fan and want a bite to eat this is the perfect place for you.

Having been going to Torquay for a while and never set foot in the pub, until Abi at the Belmont recommended it , what a nice surprise, quality food at good prices, cosy with a good atmosphere, steak was cooked to perfection along with the cowboy burger, will definitely be going back again for more, bar staff brilliant & very pleasant along with the locals , keep up the good work, Thursday had to come back for more
We popped in on the off chance .
Ordered our food
Great service and dog friendly ,so are the other customers 😊😊
This is one bar I really love and enjoy... The staff are friendly drinks are reasonable priced food is good too... I love the facts the have a decent pool table better than most bars in torquay. I've been going in and out of this place for the past 6 to 7 years. The owner I've never met but has good bar staff and there's always someone willing to give u a game of pool if you're drinking on your own...
Nice food nice place and cold drinks.
Working in local area so popped in for food and a cold drink. Staff very friendly and pub a good old local vibes.
Had Sausage and mash one of my favourites. The sausage were cooked fresh you can tell mash had mustard through yes I like and good thick gravy.
Overall a 8 out of ten well done the bull and bush
We love coming here, the staff are very friendly. We quite often tell our guests at our B&B to pop in for a drink or something to eat.
We haven't eaten here yet but our guests say that it's good!
Would definitely recommend x
Group of 4, ordered food in couples. Couple who ordered food 2nd, got their food first, 1st couple left waiting. I chased up the food and the bar man said "you ordered it separately, the first couple, would have got their food first." I replied that I ordered the food first, can you chase it up." Shortly the manager came to our table, to say that he couldn't find the order slip. I confirmed the original order. The Manger confirmed the food will be cooked and will take about 7 minutes. I overheard him say, "hold all food orders until ...."When the manager delivered the food he offered two drinks on the house for the waiting so long. This is great customer service and the food was tasty, so marked 4 rather than 3.
Friendly pub with lots of special offers throughout the week. On a Thursday you can enjoy two meals and a bottle of wine for £20.
Fridays you get a free drink with your fish and chips purchase. Most nights there's an offer on and Thursday is quiz night.
We enjoyed a game of darts and the bar staff kindly provide the darts. Other games include the pool table which is 50p per game. There's also a few gaming machines and plenty of little nooks and crannies.
Outside the back is a decent beer garden. Worth a look.
We were looking for a quiet bit to eat before going dancing. The pub did just that. Large open style pub. Friendly staff. Good food
What let it down was the steak and ale pie. This was not unpleasant but had very little meat, it was not home made, but didn't proport to be so. The chips and peas were perfect, it came with Heinz ketchup and the beer was good. On balance its was not great but it was OK.
I'll try something else soon, the poor pie is a product of the manufacturer, but the Bull & Bush did buy it represents poor economy.
Lovely friendly service. ☺️ Food was really nice and have lots of offers!! Would definitely return. My little girl loved the Chicken Combo as a side plate but was like a main meal for her.
Lovely pub with great staff and facilities. Place is spotlessly clean, kid-friendly and the owners are lovely people who make great conversation. Haven't had a chance to try the food yet, but the menu is varied and looks awesome.

It's a rare thing to be greeted as you walk into a strange pub with the comment "You look like a prince!" and for it to be a sincere compliment rather than banter or a prelude to a glassing... the clientel of the Bull & Bush are welcoming and friendly, as are the hosts.
The gentlemanly compliment may have been inspired by the brass buttoned uniform coat and ribboned rosette badge I wore. It was my birthday weekend, and I wanted to try out a pub local to my new home, with my Devon-based family. While the ol' Bull & Bush is a little further for my old mum and her equally as knackered offspring to walk than other, closer pubs, it was the better choice. Quiet enough to enjoy a meal and a conversation... (at least it was when we moved away from the cackling woman sat in one corner, and the bar staff turned Michael Macintire down a bit) and with reasonably priced food and drink. The food was simple pub fare (hunter's chicken, steak...) excellently prepared and very tasty.
A game or two of pool, singing along to 80s Rock Ballards, rounded off the evening nicely.
I shall be returning to this pub for their quiz night.
Great place didn't have food, but the menu looked great friendly atmosphere
Nice pub, amazing food, biggest burger id ever eaten and was so cheap, think it was £8.60 , When the bill arrived, 2 of these burgers and 4 pints only came to less than £23. Gave a generous tip then realised I'd been undercharged by 2 pints. Being very honest and not wanting the business to be short changed, I volunteered to go to the bar and pay the extra £7.10. Barely got a thank you for my honesty, not taking into account of the generous tip, they took the money and that was that. Due to that I can only give 4 stars and wish I'd have stayed quiet and not tipped, would have been £12 richer
A nice local pub with a good friendly atmosphere. Had a meal there a couple of times and both times it was really good. Could tell they used fresh ingredients, cooked nicely and good sized portions. The staff were really nice and chatty. Happy to visit again if ever in that location again.
Went here for dinner with friends, lovely place and food was spot on also dog friendly too
