About

The Bulls Head is a charming 17th‑century coaching inn tucked into the picturesque village of Ashford‑in‑the‑Water at the heart of England’s Peak District. Its timber‑framed façade and cosy interior create a historic atmosphere that invites guests to sit by the fire in winter or unwind in the spacious beer garden by day. With free off‑street parking, free Wi‑Fi, wheelchair accessibility and a welcoming feel for families and dog‑friendly guests, the pub offers a relaxed setting for both locals and visitors exploring the surrounding walks and attractions. The menu balances classic British pub staples with contemporary twists, featuring generous servings of hearty main dishes, a varied selection of ales, wines, gins and spirits, and a dedicated Sunday menu. Kids can enjoy a special children’s menu, while dessert lovers will delight in sweet treats and hot drinks. The pub also partners with neighbouring Aisseford Tea Rooms, providing a charming tea garden for a quick refreshment on the go. Bookings are encouraged for larger groups or events, especially for the beer garden which can comfortably accommodate up to 100 guests for weddings, birthdays or team outings. The pub also offers takeaway tea, coffee, and food to suit those on the move. Whether you’re drawn by the historic ambience, the dog‑friendly beer garden, or the easy access to nearby walking routes, the Bulls Head provides a welcoming place to relax after a day in the Peak District.
