Shoot The Bull

(York) We frequent shoot the bull in hull quite regularly and we have always been impressed with the food. So we thought for a change we would go to York and ditch our usual York haunt of the Ivy, this was a bit of a mistake. I ordered the haddock scotch egg which whilst it was tasty, it was only just warm and the egg inside was cold. My partner ordered the wings to which he said they where nice. My main was the pork belly, again not hot barely just past warm to be honest, unfortunately I couldn’t eat it all as I’m 7 months pregnant and I get full up quite quickly. My partner had the steak which was meant to have a blue cheese sauce accompanying it, but it was peppercorn. After bringing this up with the waitress she swiftly returned with the same sauce and we where told “no it’s definitely blue cheese it’s just a funny colour” I hate blue cheese and tried it and it was definitely peppercorn 100% We also had a wait on drinks I’ve worked in the catering industry for the best part of all my working life and the Staff seemed lacklustre, forgetful, disinterested and unorganised on a night when it didn’t seem all that busy. It’s a real shame for us we’ll stick to the Ivy in York and Shoot The Bull in Hull

My partner had a bbq frankfurter and loved it. Staff very friendly and helpful. All the food looked good. Will definitely be returning.

I chose the flat iron flatbread sandwich everything from the meat, bun toppings was an easy 12/10. The meat was cooked perfectly for someone who enjoys medium rare and the cut itself was fantastic. I certainly wasn’t expecting to enjoy a street food basket meal as much as I did this!

Sat yesterday after eating. great service, great food and very reasonable prices! definitely go again!

Love it. Great spot, comfortable, stunning and surprising food! Terrific effort and a great place to stop by anytime of the week. I hope it always stays this good, there should be more like it in Hull! Essential Old Town visit.
