The Bull’s Head at Smallwood

Review

Since 1767, the Bulls Head has welcomed travellers with the easy charm only centuries can season, my word, if these walls could talk! Today it’s still proudly family-owned and that care shows in every corner; polished beams, glowing fires and a menu stamped with local provenance. Expect proper, flavour-forward cooking that respects the seasons and happily, won’t break the bank. Service is warm and switched-on, the sort that remembers your drink and checks in without hovering. Arrival is stress-free thanks to a well-sized car park and once you’re settled, you’ll quickly see why locals treat this as their living room. Beyond the plate, the Bulls Head keeps a lively calendar of music gigs, tastings and community nights; check their website or socials to see what’s on. Come rain or shine. Heritage, hospitality and honest value, this is an inn that still understands exactly why people love the local British pub.
