Traditional Hospitality at The Hedgehog

Of all the pubs in Lichfield, The Hedgehog is one of the best places to enjoy the crackle of a real fire, a fulfilling winter meal and the treasured company of family and friends. Soak up the warmest of welcomes and explore some of the most popular pub food menus in Lichfield and Sutton. Try one of our satisfying seasonal dishes with a glass of fine wine or sample a rewarding pint of our regularly changing cask-conditioned real ales.

A Little Pub History

Originally called Lyncroft House the now beautifully restored pub sits in its own grounds and large gardens, with ample off-road parking. Built in 1797, 13 years after the death of Lichfield's most famous son, Dr Samuel Johnson, the building retains its character thanks to a recent £1m restoration project.

Charming Local Accommodation

Our 10 bedroom Innkeeper's Lodge continues The Hedgehog's tradition of welcoming travellers. It's our local charm that attracts office staff and ramblers, as well as diners and drinkers from Lichfield and nearby Longton, Arlewas and Shenstone. We also welcome business and leisure travellers to enjoy some of the best bedrooms and accommodation in Lichfield.

Around The Area

Originally Lyncroft House and dating to 1797, our country inn with its large, undulating gardens is within sight of Lichfield's historic cathedral. Lichfield's most famous sons include Dr Samuel Johnson who compiled the first English Dictionary.
