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.

Beautiful pub in Beautiful surroundings. Everywhere was clean and tidy. The staff were very professional but friendly. The food was delicious and a excellent choice. I had the duck with a rossti which I found a little to salty for my taste, but other wise excellent.

My friend and I went on a Wednesday evening which was grill night. We had 8oz rump steaks which were cooked to perfection and very tasty. We were served complimentary warm bread with butters and oils which was a lovely touch. The red wine was of good quality too. Staff are really friendly and courteous. We will definitely be returning.
