Horns of Boningale
Holy Head Road, Boningale, Albrighton, nr Wolverhampton, WV7 3DA
The Horns is at least 300 years old and was a regular stop-off for cattle drovers taking their charges along the old Holyhead road. In recent years it has had its ups and downs but new management has recently (2004) ensured a return to the good days and an air of relaxed enjoyment now pervades. The panelling and warm decor in the restaurant make for discreet comfort in which matters of business or more social inclination can equally prosper. The menu aims to hit a spot somewhere between brasserie and gastropub. The food is not fancy, but freshness, attractive content and comfortable portions prevail. For starters expect to find around ten choices, plus specials, to include avocado, Parma ham and prawns with a sour cream and chives sauce, venison pate and an imaginative range of home-made soups.The Horns is at least 300 years old and was a regular stop-off for cattle drovers taking their charges along the old Holyhead road.

Main courses, excluding the excellent range of steaks, number around sixteen - choose from a half shoulder of lamb, fillet steak medallions wrapped in smoky bacon and served with a hollandaise sauce, a delicious home-made steak and kidney pie, or a potato and red cabbage layer cake with Madeira sauce. Vegetarians are particularly well looked after.
A sensible, both in content and pricing, wine list offers a range of choice that will bring a mellow contentment to the occasion. It is encouraging to see what used to be decent pubs that suffered from the decline caused by the breathalyser, having new life injected into them by proper management able to drive a safe line between profitability and customer satisfaction.

REVIEWS OF Horns of Boningale
Auntkath (1 August 2011)
I honestly would pick this wonderful place even when we have others to pick from. The food is freshly cooked and not the same thing thats churned out at every other pub. I recently remarried and had a wedding party of 23 and they made our day wonderful, everyone who came said that they had been to bigger venues and posher weddings and the couples had paid 50 and sixty pounds a head and the food which was hot and plentyfull was better than they had had at these other occasions. Everything was efficiently served plenty of choice and with a smile we felt really looked after. We paid 16 pounds a head for three courses coffee and drinks extra but it was worth every penny.I as you gather and my family and friends as we keep recommending them are real fans.
