Shropshire is renown for its quality restaurants and local produce. Fine locally produced food can be purchased from farmers' markets and independent food stores.

Castle Pulverbatch has two pubs both serving food. There are some excellent Inns and restaurants in adjoining villages that also provide bar snacks and evening meals.

The local dialect name for Church Pulverbatch is Churton, the name is recorded on the wall of the local pub, written in about 1770:

Cothercott upon the hill
Wilderley down in the dale
Churton for pretty girls
and Pulverbatch for good ale.

The village is a conservation area and leads to Castle Pulverbatch where there is a fine site of a former motte and bailey castle known as the Knapp. A walk here gives extensive views over the farms on Cothercott hill and the Devils Chair on Stiperstones range - areas where you may wish to walk during your stay.
