Close to the railway station, this pub was extensively refurbished in 2019.
Opening and food hours are correct as of June 2024. Other details may have changed. A visit and survey by the local CAMRA branch is pending.,
From the outside take a look at the upstairs window on the right. Its oddly angled position is believed to be caused by the subsidence arising from the pub being built over the town's defensive ditch.
Historic Interest
The pub actually predates the station, it opened to service the 19th century coaching trade (specifically routes from Shrewsbury to northern parts of the county). The coming of the railway in 1848 attracted the attention of pub-owners from afar looking to expand, the Bulls Head being an early example. Within a few years it was owned by the now defunct Yates Brewery of Birkenhead. Since then it has changed hands a few times, starting with Butlers of Wolverhampton and ending up with Marstons (via M&B (Springfield) and Bankss). Despite the range of beers available in the Marstons portfolio, the locals here seem determined to stay loyal to their Wolverhampton brew (though regional beers from the Marston's portfolio are also being seen in here these days.
This Pub serves no changing beers and 2 regular beers.
