Bulls Head Public House

Lititz is a charming town, with boutique shops in old buildings that no one bothered to “improve” in the 1960s. On a winter night with snow falling and Christmas lights glittering in windows, you might be delirious to find a bustling British pub on Main Street, complete with red tin ceilings, two fireplaces and 14 strange and delicious brews on tap.

You might, in fact, go back to Lititz the following morning just to make sure, and find yourself sitting at a dark wood bar with a hot breakfast of perfectly crisped sausage, English bacon, sweet baked beans, squeaky mushrooms, a grilled tomato and two runny over-easy eggs. Plus toast. And a bottomless cup of coffee.

Suspend cynicism for one more hour. This is not the product of some national chain's market research. Owner Paul Pendyck grew up in Liverpool and most of his decor came from England, too. In fact, Lancaster Online reports that not even the name was calculated: Pendyck simply found an old wooden sign from a British pub with big letters in gold: Bulls Head Public House.

Let it be.
