The Experience
Opposite the pretty church, surrounded by picture-perfect hills, is an 18th-century pub that’s been remarkably reinstated; today, the Pheasant is owned by the locals. John is co-op chairman, head chef Mark and Sarah manage it all flawlessly. The main bar is cosy, with a wood-burner in the chimney breast and rugs strewn on the tiled floor; the dining room is filled with light.
There’s an orchard providing fruits for the kitchen, they tune their award-winning menus to the seasons, they seek out local suppliers (including lamb from the field next door) and fish comes fresh from the boats in Cornwall. The beers include Hobson’s and other local breweries, the wines are from Bibendum.
Three bedrooms, reached via an external stair, are spotless, sober, and decorated in restful colours. Bathrooms are immaculate with tip-top showers, one has fabulous views. Breakfasts are fabulous and Sunday lunches legendary. Walks are from the door.

We chose The Pheasant from the write up ref. the fact that it had been closed and derelict for many years before the community bought it and brought it back to life to be the wonderful place it is today. We stayed overnight on route from a holiday before heading home and enjoyed delicious food, local beers, a delightful room and very friendly and helpful staff. It is a real find we are telling friends about and we may well return.

Delighted to see that The Pheasant is as good as ever. Friendly welcome from all the staff. Good choice of ales and wine and fabulous food. The bedrooms are very comfortable and tastefully decorated. The breakfasts are excellent. Please don't change anything. A special thank you for finding and posting back the ipad which my husband inadvertently left behind. We will definitely return. Soon, I hope! Thanks again.

Excellent food, including v.good breakfast. Lovely location, very quiet and rural. Between Ludlow (well worth a visit, lovely old town) and Bridgnorth. Also visited Wightwick Manor NT - worth a visit. Rooms are good but quite basic, would have been nice to have a armchair. Very good band on the 1st night of our stay. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again.

Comfortable rooms, really friendly and enthusiastic staff and wonderful food. The chef even came out and gave us a recipe after I’d said how much I’d enjoyed it. Lovely surrounding countryside for walking and only 20 minutes from Ludlow. Thoroughly recommend.

Location
The neighbourhood
600 miles of byways and bridleways criss-cross their way over some of Britain's most spectacular landscapes – this is a walker's paradise. Head for the dramatic ridges of Wenlock Edge, the Long Mynd and the Clee Hills for views stretching to the Cotswolds, Snowdonia, the Peak District and the Brecon Beacons. Stop for lunch at Tally Ho in nearby Bouldon, visit Ironbridge for museums and the gorge.
Local points of interest from John Pickup
- Set below the ‘blue remembered hills’ of Housman’s poetry, The Pheasant is owned for posterity by the community but run by talented hospitality professionals. A place to relax and enjoy superb Shropshire food, ales and fine wine in a real country local.
- Ludlow, delightful market town and Slow Food mecca of the UK with arts, music and food festivals, is just 20 mins away. Pop to Bridgnorth (15 mins) and its Severn Valley Railway. See Shrewsbury, birthplace of Charles Darwin, with its half-timbered streets
- The Ironbridge Gorge, World Heritage Site and cradle of the Industrial Revolution (30 mins) has a dozen superb museums to fascinate you for days. English Heritage and National Trust properties abound: Wroxeter, Attingham Park, Dudmaston and Boscobel House
- It’s just 2 miles to the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and 4 to Brown Clee hill, the highest point in Shropshire with a 360o view. On a clear day you can see the Welsh mountains, the Peak District, the Malvern Hills and the Cotswolds
- Roam the spectacular walking country with vistas across old England and the Marches. Footpaths like the Shropshire Way lead you through Corvedale and over Wenlock Edge to the Long Mynd. Or just walk up to Five Springs and drink in the view before dinner.
- The Shropshire Hills have an unparalleled variety of geological features for such a small area, representing most of the earth’s history. View the diverse landscapes: crags, scarps and valleys and different building materials which lend such character.

Introducing
John Pickup
In 2014, without a village hall, school or playground to their name, the doughty villagers rallied. They acquired land behind the pub, got planning permission, sold seven houses, and helped fund the restoration and extension of a previously derelict 18th-century inn. Thanks to managers Mark and Sarah, and director John, both pub and village thrive.
Rescued and refurbished in country-rustic style, this community local is hidden deep in the Shropshire Hills between Bridgnorth and the foodie town of Ludlow. A cracking rural base offering a big welcome, good country cooking, and three comfortable rooms. A ramble up Brown Clee Hill (fantastic views) is the perfect prelude to an excellent lunch or dinner.
