A warm welcome awaits...

Located on a busy main street, our pub offers a warm and welcoming space for everyone to enjoy—including well-behaved dogs. Inside, you’ll find a cosy snug alongside a larger bar area, complete with two traditional woodburning stoves—perfect for relaxing with a drink. To the rear, our furnished conservatory provides additional seating and features a striking wall mural, with a side entrance leading out to the smoking area, which also includes an additional log burner and a dart board. We also show live Sky Sports in the conservatory. Outside, there is additional seating along with a historic mural celebrating the pub, local people, and Bridgnorth.

The bar areas have recently been refurbished to enhance comfort while retaining their character and charm. We’re proud to offer a selection of board games, which are regularly enjoyed by families and visitors alike. Conveniently situated close to the main town bus stop on Old Smithfield and within walking distance of the high street, we’re easy to find and always ready to welcome you in—with dogs very welcome throughout the pub.
