The Mug House Inn & Restaurant

The Mug House is an historic pub located on the glorious River Severn in the heart of Bewdley, known for its Georgian architecture and quaint black and white cottages.

Food is served in the Bar, Restaurant and Garden Room during all serving hours. Food is sourced from local produce where possible and given the utmost care and attention by our team of carefully trained Chefs.

The Inn is ideally situated for walks in the nearby Wyre Forest, or a trip on the Severn Valley Steam Railway alongside the river to Bridgnorth and many wonderful villages en route.

The Inn has been sympathetically renovated over the last three years and now proves popular with locals and tourists alike. Many original features have been retained and quality furnishing and décor schemes highlight the intrinsic character and charm.

The bedrooms provide a balance between practicality and homeliness, with lots of thoughtful extras to enhance guest comfort and smart modern bathrooms are an additional benefit. The double rooms each have a DVD player and Internet WIFI is available throughout the Inn. All rooms overlook the River.
