A Story That Began in 1607



Welcome to The Bulls Head , Old Glossop — a place with a story stretching back centuries.


Since 1607, The Bulls Head has stood at the heart of Old Glossop, welcoming locals, travellers and generations of guests through its doors. What began as a traditional country pub has become part of the character and heritage of the village, carrying its history forward while continuing to evolve.


Today, The Bulls Head is proudly independently run, with a simple belief: great food, genuine hospitality and a place that feels like home.


We have brought a modern approach to the traditional gastropub, creating dishes with care, quality ingredients and a passion for good cooking. Our menu combines comforting favourites with refined, beautifully presented dishes — giving our guests something a little special while keeping the welcoming spirit of a proper pub.


A proper pub also deserves a proper pint. We proudly serve a selection of real ales, carefully chosen to complement our food and keep alive the traditional character of The Bulls Head. From a well-kept pint at the bar to a relaxed drink with friends, we believe there is always time for good conversation and a great beer.

But The Bulls Head is more than somewhere to eat and drink.


It’s somewhere to stay.

Our comfortable rooms offer a cosy base for discovering Old Glossop and the beautiful Peak District, whether you're here for a weekend escape, a walking adventure, a special occasion or simply a night away.

We are proud of where we have come from, but excited about where we are going.


Over 400 years of history. A new chapter. The same warm welcome.


Come through our doors, take a seat, enjoy something good, raise a glass and become part of the story.


The Bulls Head , Old Glossop — since 1607.
