On passing you could be mistaken for thinking that Ye Old Bulls Head is just your standard run of the mill Local Pub - the exterior is rather uninspiring there is nothing to suggest that its anything more than a traditional Village Pub
However On entering you realise that this Pub / Restaurant is in a different league. Whilst I have not been fortunate enough to eat in the main restaurant I have eaten in the Brasserie on many occasions and each time have thoroughly enjoyed my meal and been delighted with the service.
Whilst the Public Bar retains its Traditional Coaching Inn Style, with low ceilings and interseting nooks and Crannies the adjacent Brasserie is contemporary, mixing slate and stone with floor to ceiling windows to create a Modern & Airy feel. It feels very homely, almost as if youre stepping into a friends Kitchen or dining in your Conservatory.
As suggested tha Brasserie does get extreemly busy and there is often a wait for a table, but the staff are extreemly professional and will call you to be seated as soon as they have a space.
They offer a vast range of tempting food, using fresh local products to create a mix of British Favourites along with some more exotic Far Eastern dishes. With so many tempting dishes and always a good selection of specials it is often difficult to choose - but amongst my favourites are the Homemade Scotch Eggs, Fish & chips with Pea Puree, and Chicken Stay Noodles and for seafood lovers you must try the locally caught Menai Mussels.
Everything is cooked and prepared to a very high standard and considering this the prices are very reasonable - with main courses starting from around £9.
It's well worth travelling to the Island to experience the delights of The Bull - Beaumaris itself is a lovely quaint Seaside town so its a perfect excuse for a day out finnished off with a beautiful meal at the Bull.
Next on my To-Do-List is a meal in the Restaurant I always have a peak at the Menu when i'm in the Brasserie and am often tempted by the Set Menu and judging by the reviews here I'm missing out!! -

We stayed at the townhouse, part of Bulls Head across the street. Convenient location, easy check in/out, good service. The room and bathroom were spacious and clean. The main property has great character and we enjoyed our meals. Literally the only thing I was bummed about is that we couldn't open the room window for fresh air!

First, there are two restaurants: The Loft, upstairs with a fixed price menu, that we did not go to; and the Brasserie, that we did go to that was downstairs with your tradition style menu. The selection was good and the food was excellent. The wine menu was average, with a selection of 1-2 of the main varieties. If I had one negative comment, it was that the staff was under trained. I ordered the mussels and clams and had to ask for a second bowl for the empty shells. No big deal. But when we ordered the wine, the waiter brought over the bottle opened, put it on the table and walked away. No opening it at the table, letting someone sample and making sure it was alright. The two women at the next table experienced the same thing except they called the waiter out on it. But, as I said, the food was excellent.

This gem of a pub and Inn rests in Beaumaris in Whales. The pub dates back to the 1200's and serves up a great pint of Welsh Ale. The rooms above the pub are charming and the modern rooms across the street are very unique each one color matched with décor and lighting. The food is excellent and breakfast is a full English affair. Situated just one block from the Castle and the bay, you would be hard pressed to find a better place to stay while on the Isle of Anglesey.

Anglesey is the most beautiful island in the world. Wales is like that, isn't it, a place of superlatives. The Bull's Head, a pub , a restaurant, and an inn deserves superlatives. The sheets are ironed,the kippers are fresh and the setting is the best it could be. The young staff's friendliness and good will make up,for their lack of sophistication...but who wants sophistication in a pub? Beaumaris is not the most Welsh part of Anglesey-go farther a field to Llangoed or Llandonna for that-but the place with castle, mountains and sea is as close to a Platonic ideal as anyone can imagine. Just look at their artists-Peter Holloway, Karel Lek. Or stay at the Bull...
