After over 4 years of closure, this large, imposing old pub in a pleasant rural setting re-opened in May 2019 under new ownership and after extensive refurbishment. The main building is connected to more recently added outbuildings to form a U-shape around a central courtyard.
The atmospheric public bar comprises two linked rooms either side of a wood-burning stove in the oldest part of the pub. A very smart bright ~50-seater restaurant is linked to the public bar via a 'reception' and overlooks the courtyard through picture windows; a separate small secluded 10-seater dining room is off to one side. Further round the courtyard, beyond the restaurant, is Sam's Bar, which incorporates a pizza oven and another bar (but no real ale!).
The listed meal times are for the restaurant, but pizzas are available every day from 12 noon to 10pm, and breakfasts are offered from 8.30am to 11am on Saturdays and Sundays. There are several menus, including children’s, gluten-free and vegan, plus Sunday specials.
The Church of Holy Angels, a ‘mini-cathedral’ built by the Meynell Ingram family in the 1890s, is nearby.
Historic Interest
Former farmhouse dating back to the early 16th-century when it was part of the Earl of Shrewsbury's estate. Converted into a pub (18th-century?). Originally the Shoulder of Mutton, but renamed circa 1860 after the Meynell Ingram family who owned nearby Hoar Cross Hall (now a health spa). Little information on early owners, but it appears to have been bought in 1898 by the Peoples’ Refreshment House Association (founded 1896; bought by Charrington’s in 1962). Came into the Meynell Ingram family’s hands at some stage: the pub was sold in the mid-1990s by Freddie Meynell to Roger Mercer (local businessman/farmer), who sold it to Mercury Inns in 2007. The latter went into administration in 2009; seems to have been run by an associated company Quicksilver for the Meynell Pub Company, which went into administration in late 2012. Bought privately in March 2013, radically refurbished at great expense and re-opened in October 2013, but then closed abruptly in October 2014. Bought by Berkeley Inns November 2018, refurbished again, and re-opened May 2019. Subsequently sold to the RedCat Pub Company in July 2022.
This Pub serves 1 changing beer and 3 regular beers.
