The garden
A quiet outdoor space behind the pub
The front and back gardens give Shakespeare’s Head more room than its unassuming entrance suggests. The rear beer garden is a secluded place for a drink, while the cosy indoor seating suits colder weather.
The bar
Guinness, jukebox tunes and toasted sandwiches
There is a choice of beers including Guinness, Stella and Becks, alongside an inexpensive drinks selection. Toasted sandwiches are available, and the free online jukebox provides thousands of songs.
