BULL’S HEAD SEASONAL CHEESE BOARD
Mike, Steve and Lloyd select our cheeses from only British cheese farms recommended by our Cheese ‘Champion’ Carole from the famous Chester Cheese Shop, All served with chutneys and biscuits, celery and grapes. We recommend either a 12 Year Old Redbreast Irish whiskey or a Pedro Ximenez chilled, sweet Sherry with your cheese board both match wonderfully.

What a fantastic Day!!!

The 2013 Rose Queen celebration will be remembered for many a year as one of the best. Why, I hear you shout!!? Well mainly because the sun shone and the village turned up in force. It was simply a beautiful day and a very busy one!!! So much so that we missed photographing the Rose Queen herself Gabriella Marfani. We hope to get a picture of her soon to finish this web page off correctly.

It was a day of sizzling burgers on the barbecue, strawberries and cream, cupcakes, ice cream and lashings of Pimms. The beer tent was a success and all in all a great day was had by many!! The floats were very good again this year as you will see and a lot of time and effort went in to the event.

Big thanks to our team too who worked very hard to ensure everyone had a good time.

Good Luck to Gabriella and thank you for supporting Rose Queen.

JASON, SIMON AND JAMES ENJOY A LAUGH BEFORE THE DAY GETS BUSY

LLOYD AND JAMES GET THE BARBECUE AND PAELLA GOING

Our former Deputy Manager James who is now Deputy at our sister pub up the road, the Church Inn, needs your help!! James has been with us here at the Bulls Head since we re-opened the pub three years ago.

Recently James’ dad was diagnosed with inter-cranial B-cell Lymphoma. This is a serious condition. James’ dad Frank is a regular here at the Bulls Head and the Church Inn and naturally we wish him well in his fight to get better.

It is to this end that James needs your help and in fact all our help. At times like this one needs to focus on doing something positive, so James is donning the lycra and heading on a circa 60 mile cycle ride this September.

Initially James was going to do the ride in early July but with the new challenge at the Church Inn and the time needed to get to full fitness James has pushed back the ride until the cooler weather of September!!

James will be completing the ride in honour of his dad and of course to raise money for Christies who are treating Frank. James is tackling the ride with our own cycling champ Jonathon who was the first cyclist to complete the ‘Triple’ Pub Challenge!!

If you want to help James by sponsoring him then click on the link below and make a donation to his cause this in turn will reward his efforts to help his dad and the team treating him.

You can cheer James on as he passes the pub and we will update this blog when we have a time that James will pass through.

Click the link below to help James. A big thank you to all that help!

Well done James we are with you all of the way!! Good luck and stay focussed!!

At last!!! The new Bulls Head’s very own mustards have arrived and are ready to accompany your handcrafted steak and ale pie or one of our great 28 day aged steaks!!

Time has been taken to decide on the flavours of mustard that our loyal customers can enjoy. We have selected three Hot English Mustard, Cider Mustard with horseradish (very good with the roast beef on Sundays) and finally a Wholegrain English mustard (wonderful with the sausage and mash).

So for mustard lovers everywhere this is your pub!!! Always serving beef that ‘cuts the mustard’!!

As we march towards 28th May 2013, the day that marks the birthday of the new Bulls Head in Mobberley, it is a tradition that Tim (our owner and the founder of the 3p – Pub, Porsche and Pint Car Club) and Landlord Ben (Chairman of the  Landlords Goodfellas Car Club) add up the members they have added in the past year to their respective Car Clubs!! £100 is paid by the loser (the one with the least new members) to the winners Charity choice. In year one Tim paid to [former] landlord Shanes Children’s Charity and last year Shane stumped up the £100 for the local Mobberley Church which was Tim’s choice.

It is unbelievable that the new Bulls Head is three years old and of course the car clubs are tied at one each. Who will be the winner this year??

Well it looks as though it could be Ben!!? Why I hear you ask? Well it seems Bens strategy is more ‘Oddfellow’ than ‘Goodfellow’ as when this steam engine named ‘Hogwarts’ rocked up to the pub, Ben quickly recruited them.

Less Potter and more Potty in my book…Hogwarts…get it? Anyway the Gauntlet has been laid. The challenge is on! Tim calls on all Porsches this side of Stuttgart to get down to the Bulls Head and join the 3p club!!

St Wilfs collects our penance!!!

Reverend Ian Blay of St. Wilfrid’s Church of Mobberley arrived in a bright cheery shirt to collect the money raised by our Mobberley Wobbly Ale sales from our landlord Ben, also in an equally striking shirt!! As legend would have it Mobberley Wobbly Ale is believed to be an aphrodisiac and there has certainly been a baby boom since its introduction to Mobberley some 3 years ago!! We knew immediately that we would have to pay a penance to Mobberley Church for our sins and each year Rev. Blay, an ale enthusiast and our ‘man of the froth’ knocks on the door of the Bulls Head to collect the money raised from the sales of Mobberley Wobbly Ale.

8780 pints have been sold giving a donation to the church of £878.00 this enormous sum is for the last year and a half of sinning. We can point to at least six babies that have been born on the back of this amazing brew this year alone with a couple more on the way. Sam our Chef de Partie and his partner Sophie have just had a baby boy Archie!! Congratulations to them.

Here’s to our Mobberley Wobbly Ale long may it continue to be supped!! Thank you to all our customers who drink the Bulls Heads favourite ale!!
