When was the last time you popped into your local? 🍻❤️

Sometimes it's the simple things.

A pint after work. A catch-up with friends. A proper homemade meal. Or just somewhere to sit, relax and have a chat.

That's what we love about village pubs.

And here at The Saracen's Head, we're proud to be part of the Shirley community.

So whether you're a familiar face or haven't visited us yet, we'd love to see you.

What makes a great village pub? 🍻

For Jamie, it’s pretty simple.

It’s knowing people by name.
Taking the time to have a chat.
Serving good homemade food.
Making someone feel welcome whether they’re a regular or walking through the door for the first time.

Because a great pub isn’t really about the building.

It’s about the people inside it. ❤️

That’s exactly what we’re trying to create here at The Saracen’s Head.

We know, we know… it’s only October. 🎄😂

But Christmas has a habit of creeping up on us.

If you’re starting to think about festive catch-ups, family get-togethers or Christmas meals with friends, keep an eye on our page.

We’ll be sharing more about Christmas at The Saracen’s Head very soon.

And yes… we’re already getting excited.

Planning an autumn day out in Derbyshire? 🍂

There’s plenty to explore around our little corner of the county.

From countryside walks and pretty villages to local attractions and seasonal days out, there’s more than enough reason to make a day of it.

And when you’ve finished exploring?

We know a pretty good village pub for lunch. 😉

Save this for your next Derbyshire day out.

This is what autumn pub food should look like. 🍂

As the days get cooler, there’s nothing quite like settling into the pub for proper, homemade food.

From hearty pies and classic fish & chips to Sunday roasts and perfectly cooked steak, it’s the kind of food made for colder days, good company and taking your time around the table.

Made with care in our kitchen and served with a warm welcome.

Come hungry. We’ll take care of the rest. ❤️

Which one would you be ordering?

15/10/2026

Saturday morning parkrun? 🏃‍♀️🏃

5K done. Trainers muddy. Weekend officially started.

Surely that earns you a proper pub lunch… and maybe a pint? 🍺

If you’re taking part in the Ashbourne Recreation Ground parkrun , carry on your Saturday with a trip out to Shirley and join us at The Saracen’s Head.

Homemade food, a well-earned drink and absolutely no running required once you get here. 😉

📍 Shirley, Derbyshire
