Right by the river side, with an amazing view and the food was delicious. I took my girlfriend for a meal and she really enjoyed it. A great experience and will definitely visit again.
the best club in london.The soundsystem is amazing as with all lighting, visuals you can expect in any night club.
famous london club. nuff rooms for nuff music. really good for hip hop, d&b on a friday and apparently really good on a saturday for house . but its the fridays that make it.
great location!wide range of drinks not expensive and decent service

Great place to go at the weekends especially when the suns out. Great atmosphere and with it being a Chef and Brewer pub the food is top quality too. Recently refurbished but tastefully so hasn't lost an ounce of charm.
Always go there when i take the dogs for a walk by the river. If i stop for a drink the staff always offer a bowl of water for the dogs which i think is top notch.
Free parking for customers but spots are limited so i'd say get on the Thames path and get walking. You won't be disappointed when you get there
Agreed JW
A fine Fullers pub, I was weaned on London Pride man and boy. So much better than the trendy city barge up the way, It was a Watneys pub which is why I never went there.
we thought the Bulls Head located right on the river Thames on Strand on the Green Chiswick was excellent on all counts. Some windows of the restaurant overlooked the river and the interior was lots of nooks and crannies. It was certainly a blast from the past and a nice one at that. The staff could not be faulted being attentive friendly and helpful. The food was waiter service and we thought that was a good choice of traditional British "Fayre" on the menu. The food itself was hot and tasty with generous portions. The prices were very reasonable. It is a very popular pub/ restaurant can get crowded so it is best to get there for an early lunch rather than leaving eating until 1 o'clock.

Cosy with fireplaces in the winter, sunny and pleasant in the summer. Traditional old English pub, cottagy decorations. Get the lamb shoulder, other food is hit and miss, mostly miss.
Wow, what a super pub. Not far from Chiswick, Gunnersbury, and Kew, it’s just by the rail bridge to the east of Kew Bridge. It’s right by the Thames, and anyone doing the walk on the north side of the river will come across it.
The building is old, and gorgeous inside: close, well-beamed, and with none of the modern concessions to space or convenience. It’s full of nooks and crannies, though.
Their ale is well-kept. And while there are plenty of Fuller’s brews on tap, of course, you’ll also find guest ales. I had a lovely pint of Brains’ “Bread of Heaven” today.
Since it was a sunny Sunday there were plenty of folks having lunch at the handful of outside tables. Several dozen folks, me included, took our pints outside and sat on the edge of the river, dangling our feet above the quickly-rising Thames.
Nearby, a painter was reproducing the eastward river bend and Chiswick pier while people waliked back and forth, enjoying the sunshine.
What a great place to stop.
Lovely chill out pub by the riverside, in winter it’s really cosy with warm fire amd yummy roasts and in summer it’s gorgeous to sit outisde by the river with a glass of wine and watch the world pass by..
Great price roast dinner (think we paid £8 each), lovely views. Only problem is that it gets busy! Proper pub, with log fire inside. Lovely area to walk off your dinner afterwards.
just a great place to have fun, socialise and relax
I really liked this place. I used to go here when i was doing some work experience a while ago in the area.
I found the outside area to be the saving grace of the pub. When you go in, you dont feel like you are entering a place that will contribute to a good night, but if you are lucky enough to get a seat on the balcony area, then it really does make your evening as it overlooks the Thames.
It has a great selection of beers from the more popular, to the more exclusive brands.
Not a must go to pub, but not the worst in the area.
The Bull’s Head is a pleasant little pub resting alongside a picturesque part of the River Thames, near Kew Bridge.
In the summer it is really quite busy outside as customers strive to gain a seat on one of the benches outside to sit in the sun.
Inside it really is very cosy. The walls are lined with empty wine bottles and the rooms are decked with warm toned wood.
When I first went to the Bull’s Head, I was really looking forward to trying the food as it’s a popular favourite among the Chiswickians and so I was hoping for something special.
The menu reads well, with lots of choices and specials.
However, I was really let down by the quality of the food. It seemed nothing more than you would expect to get at a Harvester. The vegetables tasted as though they were frozen, and I remember the peas I got with my fish and chips were particularly revolting.
I have since ventured further down the Thames and enjoyed more pleasant food at the other pubs.
Don’t get me wrong, the Bull’s Head is a really nice pub, it just doesn’t live up to the hype!
Fantastic pub tucked away on the river. Really good Gastro/traditional pub food but in a more upmarket surrounding.
The one in Brooke Green is also excellent value, with a varied menu.
What a lovely pub!
We went here for a Cycling Club reunion. and I really enjoyed it. Of course, chatting with someone was what makes a place. but here the river really makes a wow factor.
The food is good, and reasonably priced. Drinks are a bit more than in Poole.
Lovely that its so near Richmond Park too. It really is in a good situation.
I’d love to come here again some time, and I hope an occasion arises!
nikfry I think there must be a pub called the Bulls head in every town and city in England!!!

Wow – what a great location for a pub! We were lucky enough to get a seat overlooking the river Thames, which was a lovely way to finish our Sunday afternoon. Great range of real ales (also cask mark certified), and friendly bar staff.
Sadly when we visited their Sunday lunches were off the menu as they had a problem producing the gravy. Instead I had the beef and ale pie with mash potatoes and vegetables (£8.95), and my fiancée had the lamb shank (£11.50), with mash. The lamb shank was pretty good (I was allowed a bite) although it did seem to be served with a large amount of brooth which did not look appetising. The beef and ale pie that I had was really stodgy and pre-processed. In fact I ended up leaving a lot of it behind (which is very unlike me).
I would like to come back and visit to try the Sunday lunches again if I’m every in the area, simply because of the wonderful country/riverside location.
Definitely recommended for drinks. Food wise – ask what they recommend on the menu before ordering.
moonrising Problem producing the gravy? Very strange excuse… real gravy is made from the meat juices mixed with flour or something to thicken it! And even if they were out of thickener or something surely they could have offered the meal without gravy? Not a gravy fan myself!

johnsibly Exactly! Their excuse implied that they weren’t making it from scratch, which I thought may have been true of the whole Sunday roast.

A gorgeous olde style pub on the banks of the river Thames with delicious food and real ales. As well as the usual menu there is a specials board which is a menu in itself; making it difficult to choose from all the tasty dishes. This pub can get quite busy so if you are going there to eat (at anticipated busy times) you may need to book. The pub has its own car park.
