Why visit your nearest Chef & Brewer village pub?

Choosing a village pub isn’t difficult. If the atmosphere breathes pubbiness, the drinks flow freely and the menu is packed with classic British cuisine, what’s to decide? At Chef & Brewer, we pride ourselves on our delicious pub food and drink, complemented by rustic settings and natural surroundings. 

When you visit us, you can enjoy traditional favourites like fish & chips and steak & ale pies, as well as scampi and steak sandwiches. For your tipple of choice, browse our drinks menu and take your pick from a wide range of alcoholic, soft and hot drinks to suit your mood.

Our village pubs are often housed within historic buildings, where you’ll feel the tales of yesteryear seeping through the very walls that surround you. Stories from old coach houses, riverside train stations or even Grade II listed buildings, the history in our pubs is as varied and far-reaching as our menus.

Perhaps you’re going for a relaxing walk before you visit. Perhaps you’re taking in the views from one of our village pub beer gardens. Maybe you’re staying the night when you book a room at one of our country pub hotels. Whatever it is, we look forward to showing you what happens when we celebrate the British countryside in our traditional English pubs.

Wilderness walks

Visit the famous champagne capital of Britain with your friends and four-legged companion in tow by hiking through the landscapes surrounding Alderley Edge, before stopping for a drink at the De Trafford Arms. Here you can snuggle up with your dog and order from our menu of British pub classics.

Riverside rests

Experience the Riverside Inn, located in the charming village of Cound on the outskirts of Shrewsbury. Here, you can take in the sights of the River Severn while breathing in the history of the Grade II listed building that used to act as a railway station for the small village. In the warmer months, enjoy the sunshine at the outdoor bar for an even better view of the water and the boats that float down it.

Stay the night

Want to stay in these beautiful villages for a little while longer? You can do just that at the Himley House in the picturesque Staffordshire village of Himley. Settle into the comfortable bedrooms upstairs before setting out on a hike through the hills. Or simply take in the rich history of the pub itself, as a former lodgehouse to the famous nearby Himley Hall.
