Explore our MenuAbout the Bulls Head – your local country pub in Chiswick
The Bulls Head has been one of the foremost pubs in Chiswick and part of local riverside life for over 300 years. Perched on the banks of the Thames in Strand-on-the-Green, this Grade II listed pub was once a meeting spot for riverboat captains and merchants. Fast forward to today, and it’s still a place where locals and visitors come together over good food, perfectly poured drinks, and stunning waterside views.
With our timber beams, open fires and plenty of cosy corners, the Bulls Head is every bit the traditional pub. Outside, our riverside beer garden is a prime spot to sit back with a drink and watch the boats drift by. Whether you’re stopping off after a stroll along the Thames Path, catching up with friends over a Sunday roast, or just fancy a trip to one of the best country pubs in Chiswick, the Bulls Head is well worth a visit.
A riverside retreat in Chiswick
Strand-on-the-Green isn’t just one of the prettiest spots in Chiswick, it’s one of the most picturesque corners of London. A place of old-world charm, from its Georgian townhouses to the narrow towpaths once used by fishermen and boatmen, offering a breath of fresh air away from the crowds despite being so close to the heart of it all.The Thames Path runs right past the Bulls Head, making it the perfect stop-off after a riverside walk. Cross over Kew Bridge and you’re in Kew Gardens, home to one of the world’s most extraordinary plant collections. Or, if you’re curious about the engines that kept London’s water flowing, the London Museum of Water & Steam offers a fascinating look at the city’s Victorian pumping stations.
And if a slower pace is more your style, Chiswick’s thriving arts scene is practically on our doorstep, with independent galleries, theatres, and boutique shops waiting to be explored.
For centuries, the Bulls Head has been part of this landscape — a true riverside pub with a timeless appeal. So, no matter if you’re visiting for the history, the views, or just a perfect pour in a traditional pub, this is a spot worth spending time in.
The best pub food in Chiswick
There’s something about eating by the water that makes everything taste better. Maybe it’s the fresh air, maybe it’s the feeling of slowing down and enjoying the moment — or maybe it’s because our chefs take real pride in what they put on the plate.

Whether you’re here for a hearty lunch, a tasty breakfast to set you up for the day, or one of our expertly cooked Sunday Roasts, every meal is made with passion and care. We always have seasonal specials to keep things interesting, and if you’ve got a soft spot for pudding, you’ll find plenty of reasons to indulge.
We’re one of the most dog-friendly pubs around, and we make sure four-legged visitors get the VIP treatment too, right down to their water bowls and their own special menu of treats.
Of course, no good meal is complete without the right drink to go with it. Be it a crisp lager, a bold red to go with your steak, or a refreshing G&T best enjoyed with light bites and a riverside view, our drinks menu is guaranteed to have your tipple of choice. Whatever you choose, there’s no better pub in Chiswick to sit back and drink in the view.
