Pumpkin picking plans this October? 🎃🍂

If you’re heading to Shirley Pumpkins at Shirley Hall Farm, why not make a day of it and join us while you’re in the village?

Pick your pumpkins, enjoy a little time in the Derbyshire countryside and then head to The Saracen’s Head for some homemade food and a well-earned drink.

Sounds like a pretty good autumn day to us.

How well do you know Shirley? 👀

We might be biased, but we’re lucky to call a pretty special little Derbyshire village home.

Beautiful countryside, generations of history and a community we’re incredibly proud to be part of.

We’ll be sharing a little more about the story of Shirley and some of the things you might not know about our village.

And naturally, we think every tour of Shirley should end at the pub. 😉

Autumn has arrived in Shirley. 🍂

Cooler days, changing colours, countryside walks and the perfect excuse to head to the pub afterwards.

Whether you’re joining us for lunch, dinner or simply a drink at the bar, there’s always a warm welcome waiting.

Here’s to good food, good company and plenty of autumn pub days ahead.

Autumn calls for proper comfort food. 🥧🍂

The kind of food that’s hearty, homemade and exactly what you fancy when the temperature starts to drop.

With more than 30 years in the kitchen, James keeps things simple – good ingredients, proper cooking and plenty of care in every plate that leaves the kitchen.

No fuss. Just good, homemade pub food.

What’s your ultimate autumn comfort food?

There's always a warm welcome waiting behind the bar. 🍻

Whether it's your favourite pint, a glass of w**e with dinner or a coffee after a countryside walk, we're here to make you feel at home.

For us, great hospitality is about more than what's in the glass—it's about good conversation, friendly faces and creating a place you'll want to come back to.

We'll see you at the bar.

What makes a great village pub? 🍻

For us, it's never been just about what's on the menu.

It's about being welcomed by name.

Taking the time to have a chat.

Serving homemade food with care.

Supporting our local community.

And creating somewhere people genuinely look forward to coming back to.

That's what we're building here at The Saracen's Head, and we're proud to be part of the Shirley community.
