Here’s a picture of Rick our log man who is fortunately a beekeeper too!!! We asked Rick to pop down and help move a nest of Bumble bees that had set up home in one of our bird houses. The queen bee had settled in nicely and her clan were beginning to grow. So it was time to call on Rick and brother Paul to help us re-locate the bees around three miles away with the bird house having to move with them!!! Amazing what people will do for two pints of Mobberley Wobbly!!!

Rick and Paul supply all our logs and our log container as well as kindling and salt in the winter and can be found at www.caddishome.co.uk .

In terms of the birds…in our other bird box four baby blue tits were born and have now flown the nest safely just before the bird box fell from the fence in adverse weather and broke!!

So our big investment will be two new bird houses for the Bulls Head this summer!!!

Well we know we are the ‘home from home’ for many

What a great day it was here on Jubilee Monday!! The team all worked like Trojans to get the pig roast and BBQ set up as well as the ales in the cellar and wine in the fridge ready for a very busy day!! It was a great Mobberley village day! The sun shone and the pig crackled! All was eaten within two hours!! No joke!! It was a great day enjoyed by all!! Thanks to all our customers for supporting the pub on this great anniversary and to our team for working so hard to make everything a success!!

the Smoooth old boys did there bit too….

AH!!!-THE-REDBREAST

A select group were invited to the Bulls Head on Thursday 3^rdMay 2012 where Ed McAvoy the Brand Ambassador of Jameson’s Irish Whiskey was over from Ireland via London to present our first ‘Whiskey Tasting Evening’. Ed focused on such premium Whiskeys as Redbreast, Midletons and launched Jameson’s Select Reserve as well as looking at other Irish Whiskies from within the Jameson ‘family’. He did some comparisons between Scotch, American Bourbon whiskey and the Irish styles…really interesting. A big thanks to Philippa and Ed for hosting the evening.

Lloyd our head chef put on some little tasters of food that fitted the mood and his Irish Stew was inspired but the real winners were his little chocolate pieces with orange and Jameson’s Select Reserve (in fact they were that good everyone insisted they went on to the new menu) and the cheese selection with the Redbreast 12 year old was fantastic.

The evening was a way of saying thanks for loyal custom as we approached our second ‘birthday’ of the new Bulls Head!! It is our 200^th Anniversary year too…. 1812-2012 so we will be planning different events through the year.

Anyone interested in our next whiskey evening let us know by emailing info@thebullsheadpub.co.uk .

TALKING-THROUGH-THE-DETAIL

‘Bloody Marys’ are all the ‘rage’ at the Bulls Head!!

We have seen a real resurgence in the popularity of ‘Virgin’ Mary’s and ‘Bloody Mary’s’ since we opened in May 2010, particularly on a Sunday!!!

Here at the Bulls Head we are definitely famous for them as we now mix two types firstly the Vodka based ‘Bloody Mary’ with the vodka of your choice, a ‘big Tom’ tomato juice, ice and garnished with lemon and celery and a secret ingredient or two and then it is over to you to hit the Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce!! This was Tim and Shane’s initial recipe conjured up for the opening of the new Bulls Head back in May 2010. At £4.25 a glass for this ‘Bloody’ version it has to be done!!!

Secondly as part of the Bulls Heads 200th anniversary year celebrations in 2012 Tim has gone back to the roots of the ‘Bloody Mary’ and was influenced by a Sherry and Food matching evening he attended. So now you can also order the traditional ‘Bloody Mary’ made with Chilled Manzanilla Sherry (instead of vodka) and a hint of homemade horseradish!!!

So enjoy a Bulls Bloody Mary, perfect as a ‘pick me up’ this summer!!

Bloody good!!
