The Bullfinch

Just came back from a Sunday lunch at the Bullfinch with the family. Contrary to the other reviewer, we all thought that the food was rather good.
Compared to some of the overpriced pubs you can find in the area, the Bullfinch serves good, traditional pub food. Ok, it’s not Michelin star quality food, but very good for a family meal on a Sunday.
The staff were really friendly and managed to sort out a table for the five of us, although haven’t booked in advance.
Food snobs stay away, everybody else should enjoy their meal though at the Bullfinch.
We will definitely come back again.

Oh dear. This has the modern minimalist décor to suggest some effort will be expended in the food department, but it’s a lacklustre standard pub menu for the most part, with dishes expertly removed from the frozen packet and inexpertly cooked for your eating displeasure. Meats come overcooked, veg are thoroughly average, and desserts would not shame Aunt Bessie or Sara Lee. If a steak costs £15 it really should come cooked as ordered. The consolation prize was the wine, which was a fine Pinot Noir, and almost not ordered after we’d read the menu description of it as «trendy». The management here really should be ashamed of the quality of their food, even though the otherwise helpful waiter offered the comment, on being shown our uneaten revolting «individual» mass produced lemon meringue pie (£5), «I blame the chef».
