The Bull's Head Inn

We were, as a large family group, staying at The Dinney, a superb self-catering property nearby, and decided to book The Bull's Head for Sunday lunch. Reviews we read were good, and on the phone the booking was taken without hesitation (we worried at the size (19) of our party. Oh dear. As Sunday lunch is traditionally roast beef etc., several of our party ordered this. One expects to get succulent pink beef, from a large joint. Not in our case. The beef was more suitable for shoe repairing! This was bad enough - but the reaction to our complaints were something else. It was said, in no uncertain terms, that the proprietors father was a butcher - and they knew how to cook beef! If that is the case, we are glad it wasn't our butcher. No apologies, and a very reluctant offer to replace the beef dish with an alternative (after some discussion). In fairness, the pork and the vegetables were fine. But the customer service was greatly lacking. We may try to use The Dinney again another year - but certainly not The Bull's head!

We stayed here recently whilst attending a family wedding at a nearby venue. Very pleased with the room, good full English breakfast was filling - set us up for the return journey home! Hosts were very friendly, going out of their way to assist us.

We stayed two nights at the Bulls Head inn, conveniently situated on the B 455 about 5 miles south of Bridgnorth. The pub has a small number of comfortable fairly small rooms which were well equipped with an en suite toilet, washbasin and shower and a comfortable double bed, with hanging and drawer space, tea and coffee facilities, a hair drier, and a TV. Our room was small but comfortable and although it faced the main road it was completely quiet in the evening looking out over rolling fields. I swam in Chelmarsh reservoir on Saturday morning (also available on Thursday evenings). I booked through Nowca. We had a good breakfast in the pub (08:30-09:30) and also had a really tasty and good value evening meal there one night too., (They have live music on Saturday evenings). The owner could not have been more friendly and helpful - and at £80/night bed and breakfast I felt it was good value. They do also have small bungalows to rent if you wanted. The Bulls Head Inn is clearly signposted along the B 455 and is a great spot to stay if you want easy access to the Severn Valley Railway.
