Bucking Fastard left this review about The Bulls Head

A very basic street corner boozer,now painted outside in Crystal Palace FC red & blue with a small FA Cup winners mural.The interior is much less grand,a simple L shaped interior with a darts board to the left,a longer side to the right punctuated by the gents,cheap ageing pine furniture and no sign of real ale.The flatscreen in the apex will show Sky Sports and there is a boisterous atmosphere .The barmaid was friendly but even the John Smith Smooth was off,leaving multinational lagers and Guiness which I plumped for.
On the walls there is a bit of Palace memorabilia ,some dating back to the 60's but it's not overdone and there is even room for a collage dedicated to Phil Foden ??
Earthy ,no real ale means this was a one off visit.

Very much a locals pub nowadays with a more sedately painted exterior of plain white, very little mention of Crystal Palace at all inside apart from a small framed colured drawing of the pub in its former colours hanging on a wall. No real ale but the place was buzzing with custom. A pint of Guinness surficed for a short stay. I'm not likely to return but it was ok for a one off.

As I walked down High Street looking for the old Half and Half bar I as usual glanced down each side street in case anything unknown to me pub-wise might be lurking. I really couldn't miss this one with its garish blue and red exterior, allegedly due to some bet between the landlord and a regular one of whom clearly being a Crystal Palace supporter.
Well the H&H had headed home to become some sort of night time cocktail venue so I retraced my steps and entered. A kind of reverse C-shape my notes say, maybe a D(?), the bar is central, old Charrington's banded windows, regular seating and a definite feel of a second home for regulars and their many children. The walls had a fair bit of CPFC memorabilia as well as Glasgow Rangers ( the bet perhaps....not dissimilar colours) and an England shirt. A corner contained a dartboard.
Four handpumps, only one on with Courage Best (£1.90) whatever that is nowadays, I chucked a quick half down.
"Interesting" toilets with perhaps the rustiest radiator I have ever seen. An experience but not one to deter others unduly to be fair.
