About the restaurant

The Hind's Head is a traditional country village pub and restaurant serving freshly made food and quality local cask ales. We are a community owned and managed free house in a very picturesque Shropshire village. We have the more traditional areas of the pub with wood burning stoves, as well as a lovely restaurant and welcoming orangery for all our guests to enjoy food, drinks and good company. We offer two wine lists as well as a great selection of cask ales, lagers and ciders. The views from the front of the pub have a perfect picture post card view of St Chad's Church in the centre of the village. While we offer traditional pub classics like freshly made pies and fish and chips, we also regularly offer specials that our chefs create weekly and do a lovely Sunday roast dinner that is extremely popular.
On Wednesday evenings we do different foods and events, please call to confirm the theme to ensure it's what your looking for it could be Tapas, Italian, a quiz night.

Service was excellent and food divine. I loved it all. We had padron peppers and nuts then I had cauliflower soup which was scrumptious then I chose to have two starters instead of mains - catfish and the soufflé. I would have chosen fish but there was only sea bass which we eat a lot at home and burgers and steaks. I would have liked to see a couple more interesting fish dishes but what I had was lovely.
