The Bailey Head is the local area's CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) pub of the year, and we were both very impressed with the quality, range, and taste of the beers on offer. We enjoyed a drink of Black Iris Myld Stallyns, a dark mild, which was in beautiful condition and cost £3.90. The pub is comfortable, with a large L-shaped space wrapped around the bar divided into smaller zones by interior beams. The staff behind the bar were friendly and informative, and we ended up chatting with another customer.
My wife, who uses a wheeled walking aid, found the access around the building to be very easy, and the seating was comfortable. The electronic beer list is displayed on screens in the pub and...
Wow, where do I start, thought I'd try a nice range of ales by ordering halves not problem says the chap behind the bar, what types do you like? This took us on a magical journey of new ales through a lovely evening. Mmmm I'm a bit hungry I said to the landlord...ah he says, we don't do food but I can recommend the pizza place and the Chinese next door...went for the Chinese...as they delivered food the landlord delivered plates, knives and forks (all fully recyclable I checked ha ha). A pro tip this pub takes customer experience very seriously, take a few minutes (you'll need them) to peruse all the awards and certificates on they way in.
Good vibes and a finely tuned atmosphere of 50s rock and roll music, old worldy building and knowledgeable guy on the bar who knew his beer and gin. We even had a tour of the mass of guest beers that are all pinned on the ceiling, apparently several hundred a year which says it all about this pub. This was a stop by on the way from Cardiff back to Manchester but we will return purely for the host (Tom? Jon? , friendly people and how purely comfortable we were made to feel and we might even bring Jake! (Our dog The local amber bitter is apparently on all the time and I recommend it along side their 200 million gins
What you call a great local pub . . . real ales, and no sport on television ! Sadly it no longer does food, but there are plenty of local restaurants. It is NOT over crowded, but there were lots of locals enjoying their evening pints. Staff were pleasant, and the owners very friendly. Closed on a Monday, but we went there every other night for the week we were there.

Great atmosphere. Extensive selection of beer. The owners gracie and Duncan along with their staff (special hat tip to Johnny) make everyone feel at home. This pub has become my port in the storm since temporarily moving to Oswestry for family reasons. You simply must visit here if you're in the area
I stopped by the restaurant to check it out and found that the atmosphere was great. It felt like a traditional pub with a decent number of customers. Unfortunately, the people at the pub next door were rude and arrogant. I wasn't able to stay for long, but it seemed like a nice place overall.
Johnny the barkeep was so helpful amazing knowledge and within a few questions recommended some great beers. Very knowledgeable and helpful. If you like proper beer this place is a must. Nice relaxing atmosphere and you will be in the hands of a proper pro. Unheralded choice of top notch brews
Quite simply, the best real ale pub around and I have tried a few! A great selection of ales that change regularly and that are kept immaculately. I tend to potter in after a walk in the hills and this is always a welcome highlight. Incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff too.

This pub is fantastic, offering a unique selection of well-maintained cask beers. The owners, both the Landlady and Landlord, were incredibly welcoming and friendly, exceeding our expectations in helping us during our visit.
Amazing cocktails and friendly landlord. I would recommend to anyone staying in town. The staff know their stuff about anything booze related. Pleasant atmosphere and music
