The Bull’s Head Barnes is a riverside pub at 373 Lonsdale Road, a short walk from Barnes Bridge station. Its long association with live jazz gives the venue a distinctive musical history, while the dining rooms and river-facing Melrose Room offer quieter spaces for meals and private occasions.
Seasonal British ingredients shape a menu that balances comforting pub classics with more contemporary plates. Cyder battered haddock, beef burgers, steak and pie sit alongside salads, fish, vegetable dishes and changing specials designed around produce at its best.
Sunday roasts are an important part of the weekly offer, with meat and plant based options served with traditional accompaniments. Smaller plates, sandwiches and sharing dishes make it equally possible to stop for a lighter lunch or eat alongside a drink before a performance.
Well kept ales, craft beer, wine, spirits and spritzes give the bar considerable range. Diners can settle in for lunch or supper, combine a meal with live music in the Jazz Room, or book one of the characterful spaces for a celebration overlooking the Thames.
Address: 373 Lonsdale Road, Barnes, London SW13 9PY, England
