Camra Pub of the year

Stopped in here for a beer. The beer was absolutely excellent and not stupidly priced. The atmosphere was good and I loved the fact that people could bring in a takeaway to eat there (as they don’t do food). Just the sort of pub that I’d become a regular at if I was local.

Very good first impression. Clean, pleasant, friendly with a fine range of real ales. They also do coffee and tea if that's what you're after. I'm looking forward to getting to know it better once I've moved to Oswestry. Edit: have been back a few times now. Still have a very high opinion of the place. Venison stew was excellent. The real ales were as good as they sounded - very well kept. All in all, a great pub. Edit: Now visit regularly, always a wide selection of beers, which can be bought in one third of a pint measures, so you can try several, even the stronger ones, and still have a sporting chance of walking home. The pub seems to be more or less recovered from the Covid-19 lockdowns although the kitchen had not reopened. At the moment (late February 2022) they have retained mask wearing when moving around. I also forgot to mention that the pub is very dog friendly. 2023 Edit: pub is more or less back to normal now, although the kitchen has not reopened. 2025 Edit: and I'm not the only one that likes it, the pub has just won the Camra National Pub of the Year award! Well done Duncan and Grace.

CAMRA pub of the year!! Excellent range of beers!! Plenty on dark/Porter tyres at very high strengths...thus only sold as halves!! Really great discussion with local about home Brewing....he sounded almost like a professional. But note opening times....some days at 3pm. So I had time to burn for two hours! Great place.

Nice old pub with friendly staff. Ever changing range of cask ales that are kept in very good condition and at proper cellar temperature. Also serving Keykeg and Keg beers, and ciders.

A relaxing second visit to The Bailey Head on Tuesday 17 September 2024 after an earlier hospital appointment . The Bailey Head is situated in a traffic free market square. The range of quality real ales is outstanding with a varying series of guest ales including a dark real ale . We had a great Brass Castle Bad Kitty Vanilla Porter and on our previous visit we were impressed by the lovely dark ales . The Bailey Head has outdoor seating at the front of the building . The entrance leads straight into the bar area with a variety of different seating areas along the front of the building and then running down the left hand side with a further space to the rear. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable- The Bailey Head is rightly a Camra Good Beer Guide regular and is a regional pub of the year . Well worth visiting

The Bailey Head always has a great range of beers to enjoy. No TVs clearing away or loud music. We always head here when in Oswestry, normally a great range of stouts and normally an imperial one to sip!

David King

Interesting pub with an extensive beer list including, when we visited, a beetroot saison. Certainly some curiosities available. Friendly landlord. No food.

Romer Hoseason

Wonderful beer. Excellent company. Pity it's such a long way from home. Just proving that it is the best pub in the Midlands.

Sarah Evans

Fantastic old style pub serving really good beers

Carl Hopley

Great range of ales, including low alcohol and vegan friendly ones. Great mix of people and friendly proprietors and supporting staff.

Neil Hampson

Always a good choice of beer and well worth calling in.

Don Jones

Accidentally went into this unbelievably brilliant pub. Selection of ales and cider were very broad with every taste catered for. Staff couldn't of been more helpful. Can't wait to return.

Incredible selection of beers, fantastic landlords, welcoming and comfortable pub. One of my favourite in the UK and well deserving of the many awards it's got over the years.

A CAMRA award winning pub on numerous occasions over the years, not to mention many other local recommendations. This small community pub has been flying the "real & craft" ale flags consistantly for years. It hosts the best selection of beers for miles around, with great staff & service to boot. We've been visiting this pub for the last 10+ years and its consistancy is second to none. If you're ever up this way it is certainly worth a visit & highly recommended. Duncan & Grace the owners are lovely people & great hosts. Highly recommended. Note: Food is no longer available, but the eating of food inside the pub, but purchased outside is usually acceptable. (There is an Indian takeaway next door) Updated: 9/6/24

I can see why this is award winning. One of the finest real ale and craft beer pubs I've set foot in. A traditional looking pub, cosy with plenty of board games and a stunning beer menu which is also on Untappd. Friendly service, reasonable prices for craft too. Probably near on 20 different cask and kegs to choose from. Superb.

Mark Bennett

Great pub with a good selection of beers.
