Barrett's Restaurant in Shropshire

It was a magical experience stepping inside this old stone built, properly authentic village pub for the first time - like stepping back in time, or on to a film set for All Creatures Great and Small ! The locals, and the staff alike, were all very friendly and welcoming too. We visited with friends for Sunday lunch, and were seated in a much more recent conservatory extension, which was light, bright and airy. Our food was properly homemade, completely delicious, served piping hot - and the portions were absolutely gargantuan - and served with lashings of gravy! A wonderful experience all round !

We stayed a couple of nights we were made very welcome by John and Norma the room was very comfortable and clean the meal was plentiful and tasty

Dropped in for lunch when visiting Dudmaston Hall nearby. The pub was very welcoming with chatty and welcoming staff. The food was good, freshly cooked and tasty as well as being value for money. I had the pork belly and my wife the lunchtime fish and chips both of whichwere excellent. The restaurant would be a paradise for cricket lovers with the wall being almost a shrine to the famous local cricketter Basil D'oliviera. High recommended

We have just come back from a short break at the Bulls Head we had a lovely time our room was very comfortable clean and spacious the bed was very comfortable the food was plentiful and a lovely cooked breakfast with plenty of choice we also had an evening meal we enjoyed very much thank you Norma John and Richard for looking after us we appreciate it and hope to see you again

Another lovely evening at the Bulls Head. Although we are locals and regulars, it doesnt stop us wanting to take the time to pass on our thanks for the continued great service the owners and staff always provide so consistently. The ales, and Guinness in particular are always first class and cant think of anywhere else that does it better. The Wye Valley bitter is a lovely drink and is kept and served as well as you would expect as if drunk at the brewery. Thanks again all.

This was my second visit in a few weeks and it won't be the last! Excellent and friendly service from a landlord who has been here for many years. Generous portions of top quality food at very reasonable prices. A selection of vegan options was appreciated by my companion. Everywhere was clean and tidy and the atmosphere was most welcoming. One of the best pub restaurants you'll find.

My wife’s comment, ‘It is just what I hoped it would be.’ For me, ‘It was just what it should be. We were just passing and looking for a meal on the way back to where we were staying. It started well by being offered a taste of an unfamiliar beer from Wye brewery. Lovely. And the evening got better. (And I don’t just mean promptly ordering a pint of the aforementioned). Ok Steak & mushroom pie is traditional pub fare. The mash was quite ordinary, but the pie was outstanding. It was sitting there, not in a bowl for you to get out. The pastry was thin. the filling was good. There was a jug of extra gravy. It was the sort of place where you wonder 'If I come back, would I have the same because I enjoyed it, or try something else ?'

Very pleasant Sunday lunch today. The patè starter was massive and was more like a light weekday lunch (!), but the garlic mushrooms were disappointing, served on a soggy white half of a Kingsmill "thin", not a crunchy croute as expected from the menu description. Despite that, our main courses were tasty, portions were ample, the puddings we had were exactly as expected, and the service was good, with cheerful attentive staff.

A lovely family run pub/ Resturant in village location, great selection of food to suit all plus great selection of local beers and wines, ideal for walkers and fisherman or just local sightseeing trip to the beautiful area.

Whilst we live within half an hour, we had never visited. Big mistake… Quite frankly outstanding. Quality staff complimented by well kept beers. Immaculately clean with relevant and interesting decor. Food was exactly as described and terrific value for money.

The food in the restraunt here is exceptional. I decided to have my dinner here after attending an event near by. The staff are lovely and make you feel right at home this is everyone from the owners, bar staff and waiting staff (sorry if ive missed anyone), the food portions are great and the quality is brilliant. The creamy garlic mushrooms are brilliant and the best ive had in a long time. I really couldnt fault to meal.

A large group of us had lunch here yesterday after a walk. The food is good and reasonably priced but the service received was outstanding. Really friendly and happy place. Thank you all

Stayed 2nights room was warm and clean food was excellent very good with dietry requirements chef went out of his way staff were friendly and nothing was to much trouble well done

We visited here a few times while on holiday and would definitely return and recommend to others. The bar staff were really friendly, and we loved how the chef came and personally said hello when we arrived, and talked us through the menu! Menu was really varied with lots of vegetarian options and we all throughly enjoyed our food throughout the week. Thanks!

Dirty place food was horrible.Old Fashioned on a busy road Wine glasses were dirty.Unhygienic place.

Outstanding food and service. One of our party had specific dietary requirements and we were very grateful that chef Adam catered off-menu to suit their needs ensuring yhey had no reactions to the meal. The staff are really friendly and the owners: John and Norma, always take time to chat to customers, making us feel welcomed into their establishment! The Bulls Head serves a wide range of beverages plus a very competitively priced wine list. We ended up taking a bento box of leftovers home for the next day as it was so good. Thoroughly recommend this quaint village pub/restaurant. For a special occasion, or just popping in for decent pub grub - the menu suits all!

Fabulous lunch to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Three of us had starters which were delicious. Our main courses were fabulous and we were served individual dishes of fresh vegetables. My chicken with bacon in a mushroom sauce was so tender and moist and tasted delicious. We were all too full to order sweets despite them being very tempting. Excellent service and so unexpected for the chef to come and check that we were happy with our meals. Definitely returning. In fact we are booked in for Sunday lunch. Well done everybody.

Had an evening meal in the Bar. Friendly, cheerful service, good food at a reasonable price. Nice atmosphere in this cosy bar. A very nice experience !

Visited whilst on holiday in the area - a good selection on the menu to choose from including a wide range of puddings. What we had was lovely and pudding was delicious. Reasonable priced too.

Good choice of high quality meals, good range of drinks and pleasant staff; what more could you want?

We stayed here for our date nite the room and the food was amazing and so was the breakfast the staff were lovely and nothing was to much trouble will defo be returning

Would eat there again. Plenty of choice, very helpful and friendly staff, food delicious and plentyfull

Special night out, started with scallops and prawns, followed by a great lobster thermidor - all the taste with no mess and right on our doorstep!

Steak burger and chips and chips are fabulous served by great friendly bar staff. Visited again 2021 3 fab meals and new chef is fab and friendly with the eaters

Lovely staff. Absolutely outstanding food all fresh good value and plenty of it best roast for miles and the gravy say no more amazing love love it plenty outdoor seating undercover too highly recommended looking forward to next visit already.

First time visit and most certainly wont be the last. The food is outstanding, all fresh ingrediance, cooked to perfection. Service was excellent our waitress Julia was very professional friendly and very attentive. Thank you

Friendly welcome, and lovely food. We ordered lamb shank which was very tasty, meat dropped off the bone and almost melted in your mouth, also a mushroom starter and fish n chips which was very much enjoyed. The Bulls Head is a fabulous gem in...

My wife and I walked here from our B&B. The landlord was very welcoming and the food was hearty pub fare, washed down with a pint of excellent ale!

We had a late Sunday afternoon meal here which was very enjoyable. We turned up on spec and the staff were very accommodating. Despite other reviewers opinions the Covid measures are OK apart from they have no track and trace set up. Unfortunately we decided...

We visited here whilst staying nearby for dinner. The service was very good and they had all the safety measures in place regarding Covid so we felt safe. My meal of chicken was very nice but my husband ordered the steak which was supposed to...

Good pub food but nothing original or spectacular which was really disappointing as I’d booked on a recommendation from our guest house to celebrate my partner’s birthday. Also we were seated in the conservatory where there was little atmosphere. However we spoke to other diners...

Dinner for eleven this week. The food was outstanding. The waiting staff friendly and helpful as well as proficient. The Bull's Head has to go in to my top drawer for places to visit and return to. We had a variety of starters, mains and...

Even though we are weekly visitors to this excellent pub and restaurant, we had another fabulous meal tonight and have to give credit to the owners for achieving such great consistency. The fish pie is one of the best we've ever sampled and we find...

A group of 12 had booked and pre-ordered our meals only to be told when we arrived that meals had not been pre-ordered. Despite showing our e- mail and the confirmatory reply from the inn, the officious "manageress" refused to accept that she was wrong and did not have the decency to apologise. The food was enjoyed by all, but the bad attitude shown when we arrived left a lot to be desired.

Stayed at the Dinney B&B and walked up here. The publican was very welcoming and gave us a guided tour with all his cricket photo's on display, and even shouted me a beer.

Food was lovely . My salmon and sauce was beutiful . Lovely waitresses who was so good . Lovely pudding toox

Visited on a lovely summers evening, it was extremely busy. The bar staff were very attentive, even our little doggot lots of attention. We had two great meals, very reasonably priced, the fish pie was superb.

Went here for a lunchtime meal with my wife. Very friendly welcome. Both had meals. I have to say the battered fish with chunky chips was one of the best I have ever had. Will definitely be visiting again.

out for the day and had just eaten, fancied a drink so stopped at this place. [ have passed it before ] the service was v good in pleasant surroundings,the food looked very good. will try it for a meal nexy time.

We have been staying close by this pub all week and decided to treat ourselves on the last night and wow we we're amazed the staff went out of there way to find us a table as we hadn't booked very polite the food was absolutely fantastic compared to what we're used to in Nottinghamshire all I can say is if we had eaten in here on our first night we'd of probably been back and worked our way through the menu will definitely recommend this to friends and will definitely be back again.

Business meeting in Birmingham, where to eat? The Bull's Head Inn is nice place for diner and service a good assortment of (local) starters, meals and deserts. The service is perfect and makes you feel at home:)

Light and bright restaurant or you can eat in the pleasant lounge.The food is second to none ! Meat from local butcher and fresh vegetables all cooked to perfection.Sunday Lunch and Cabaret evenings.My wife and i love the selection on offer and I love my Trad cask beer and my wife is able to to select from a fine selection of wines.

Food and service was excellent, nothing was too much trouble, we will definitely visit again. There was a good variety off beers, lager and wine. Plenty off room in the car park.

Visited The Bull's Head with friends one evening earlier this month. Can't remember now what we all chose (pretty sure 2 were from the burger rage) but we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. It was a quiet evening and we chose to eat in the bar. There was a lovely warming log fire burning away which kept everyone nice & warm. Between us we think we had; 4 main courses, 2 puddings & 2 drinks each & the total bill came to just short of £80 which we thought was good value as all the meals are home cooked/prepared.

Absolutely lovely food, great choice and the Mother’s Day specials were very nice and a flower gift for the ladies at the table. Service was good, even when busy, the service didn’t go down, attentive and helpful. Will definetely be back.

Good quality food served piping hot at your table by friendly staff. A good menu to choose from and a specials board too.

Our children booked us a night away as we run a pub/ restaurant ourselves and having a busy Christmas and New Year we were looking forward to well needed break.the kids booked us into a B&B; in Chelmarsh Bridgenorth a Mike and a half from The Bulls Head Inn so my wife booked us In the Bull for an evening meal and what a choice it was . We have just had an amazing evening the food was amazing and staff and management were very friendly and the service was excellent . Nice friendly locals as well

A night away at the Dinney in Chelmarsh away from our own pub restaurant promped me to book a table here even before a friend recommended it... I'm so glad I did, a gem of a place, lovely friendly staff, lovely quaint pub, very friendly locals and the Gaffa John made us very welcome. I am a bit of a critic when it comes to food but it was completely faultless. Fresh, pipping hot and very tasty. This place is definitely worth a stop. Next time we are this way it will be my first choice.

We ate here twice for Dinner (as well as for 2 Breakfasts - excellent Full English choice and Kippers). On both occasions the starters and main courses were very good with very generous portions and very good attentive staff.

Food 100% we ate here as it's part of the bulls head pub. The whole package is superb. I cannot recommend this establishment enough. You are made so welcome.

Lovely fresh cooked food from a very tempting menu. Breakfast excellent and sets you up for a day of exploring the area.

Ate here twice as a group of 17 friends whilst on a walking holiday and renting a property nearby. It was the only eatery within walking distance from the property just over a mile away and meant that we could all enjoy a drink as well. Mine host was very welcoming and the food was typical "gastro-pub" fare. Quality and quantity totally acceptable, and very reasonably priced.

Todos los miembros de nuestro grupo conoce este lugar.

No he comido como tal, una comida en un restaurante aquí, pero visitamos el viernes para una fiesta que se celebra en el restaurante. un largo viaje en coche se tradujo en encontrar un adorable pueblo con un verdadero pub! Parece que hay música en vivo decente, tiene pisos de piedra amable personal y una muy buena selección de vinos sidras, etc. Es un adorable zona exterior y era muy impesive como un país pub debería ser! El buffet del desayuno era muy impresionante ... mi suerte convino en los dos salmones en exposición donde el mejor miércoles tenía ... bien hecho pena im tan lejos! Gracias

I was a bit underwhelmed. The menu seemed to pay to pay homage the traditions of a variety of nations, but in a country pub in winter, I prefer to eat freshly prepared English country food. I am probably awkward.
