Though we continued to use the Maudslay, we had not been there for a couple of months and when we went there last weekend I was shocked to find out that the temporary problem regarding Mild that we encountered at the beginning of last year has apparantly for a couple of months now been turned into a permanent state of affairs. So having drank at the Maudslay since 1968 I'll now not be doing so. Its a shame.

Sorry to say that The Maudslay is not as good as it used to be. On a visit there earlier in the month there was no Mild!!! That is the first time I've known that in the 40 years I've used the pub. Shame!!! They did have a wide choice otherwise though.

It sells Mild in a pub with a good ambience! What else would one want from a pub?

Rather than 'risk it' at any number of eating houses, with one recent extremely bad dining experience on my mind, I decided to stick with an establishment that has continually 'made the grade' when we have visited previously. The Bull's Head in Meriden once again proved to be a winner. As it was our fortieth wedding anniversary I really didn't want any 'mishaps' and there certainly weren't any.
The food and drink selection provides variety and the quantities served are of sufficient size without being unnecessarily large. The service is 'spot on'; never having to wait to order drinks (especially important when one of their beers on tap was a particular favourite), supported by the food arriving at appropriate intervals.
Quality of both food and beer was excellent!
It gave us what we wanted, somewhere that could be relied upon. The Bull's Head in Meriden has a high standard in all areas. That standard, if maintained, will see this establishment continue to blossom. As long as it does, we'll come back.

Not bad. My wife and I went during winter; I reckon that sitting in the courtyard would be rather pleasant in the summer. Limited beer selection (as far as my favourites are concerned). Food was fine and not too expensive. Overall was OK. Would go again.

On the negative side: As much ambience as a funeral directors waiting room.
On the positive side: They sell Mild.

Perhaps I'm sad but this is my favourite pub.
Why:
1) It sells M & B Mild
2) It sells Mild
3) It sells its Mild at a "fair" price
4) Nice ambience
5) Reasonable facilities for smokers (I'm not a smoker but do believe that smokers must be catered for)
6) Its within walking distance for me
7) Pleasant staff that provide an efficient service
8) The beer is kept well (the Mild that is)
9) Oh yes, did I say that they serve Mild?

Went there recently after over a year's absence. Gone is the Hardy and Hanson Mild hence gone is any reason to go there. A "nothing" pub. (That is if you can still call it a pub)

Not a bad pub overall. As a Mild drinker I don't frequent this pub often due to it not having Mild (No, I don't consider Sarah Hughes a Mild) but now they have Guinness Red I have a drink that I really do enjoy.
Though a non-smoker myself, I think they cater for smokers very well with their outdoor facilities.
Landlord excellent.
Definitely recommended.
