What OpenTable Diner likes about Bull on Bell Street:
I have lunch at the Bull quite often during the week and I am very happy with the service and food. staff are always very pleasant and efficient. I had Sunday lunch last week with my daughter and we were impressed with the size of portion and speed of service. I like the décor and the tables are very comfortable. I shall continue to use the Bull on a regular basis. View all feedback. What caroleb doesn't like about Bull on Bell Street:
We arrived at 6pm on a Sunday. We overheard the manager saying to other people sorry there is no roast left, sorry we can't do any more food. The managers's attitude was not very polite. Poor quality of food. would not recommend View all feedback.

Overall, the reviews for this restaurant are mixed. While some customers praised the lovely food and atmosphere, others were disappointed by the poor service and food quality. Complaints included long wait times for food, missing orders, and unappetizing dishes. However, positive comments highlighted the beautiful decor, great ambiance, and friendly staff. Overall, it seems that the experience at this restaurant can vary depending on the day and individual circumstances.
