The Bulls Head, Henley-in-Arden

Wooton Wawen is a small village on the original route of the A34 dominated by a Palladian mansion which, bizarrely, is the HQ of a caravan site company. The pub is an ancient multi-roomed half-timbered building with very pleasant gardens. The sort of quintessential English pub you see in the movies. But it stops there and you have to contend with Marton's beers. The Wainwright came up like chicken soup and, with the alternatives being Banks's Mild and Pedigree I threw in the towel and resorted to taking a pint of eurofizz into the garden to enjoy the sunshine. Nice stop for a coffee.

Building is dated 1317. Former Cottages/agricultural buildings. Timber framed. Grade II listed. Mainly setup for dining - but what an environment, with the exposed beams and lovely furniture. Beers not so impressive - typical marstons fayre - wainwright and pedigree. Pedi a bit tired and this is only a pint that works when kept exceptionally well. 10 for the architecture. 6 for the beer.
