Improve This Listing

Following extensive and sympathetic refurbishment in 2018 the pub has now been divided by a central bar serving both sides. The bar area has cosy corners and snugs warmed by a log burner fire. The smaller lounge area has french doors opening onto the courtyard which has a large covered area. Off this courtyard is a function room which has been restored with reclaimed oak panelling. Three of Joule's regular beers and a seasonal ale, also from Joules complement the home cooked food that is served every day through out the Pub.

Bridgnorth Camra Pub of the Season for Spring 2024.

Historic Interest

Originally called the Punch Bowl and first licensed in 1792.
