Fantastic pub, lovely staff. The Atmosphere here was lovely. A dog friendly pub, which you don’t see very often. 3 dogs came up to sit next to me, which I thought was lovely. All in all, Awesome, for a proper pub in the heart of Worcestershire. You have to visit it That’;s why I’m proud of being, as they say a Shropshire lad, well I’m from Far Forest which is on the boundary line that goes in to Shropshire but I’m a
Worcestershire lad, born and bred. Thanks all of you at the Bull Head, Cookley. Nige from Kidderminster

Had a meal at this venue food and service was very good and so was the service from the bar considering how full the place was with drinkers and meals. The atmosphere is mainly mixed but mainly young, must say on the night we were their folk were enjoying themselves. Food prices aren’t bad.
