Looks great from the outside but that's about it.
I was served a near undrinkable pint of Staropramen by a rather surly barman. I sat down in the rather unimpressive surroundings to hear a bunch of sad bores on the next table boasting loudly of their (imaginary?) sexual exploits. I drank up as quick as I could without vomiting and left.
Next time I'm passing, I'll keep passing.

Please note - the photo is not the Kings Head - it's the Crown on Abbey Foregate.

The last time I went in was about 6 months ago. The landlord was the most miserable so and so you could imagine. We drank up and haven't been back since.
It should be a great boozer, but the grimy interior and unpleasant landlord really let it down.

Nicely refurbished 15th century pub. Clean and well run. Some character has been lost in the refurbishment - the standard issue pub-chain upholstery is minus - but it's a pleasant enough place.

Just to let you all know, this is still a let down. What a wonderful exterior - but that's the place to stay.

drank in there last week, pretty characterless, compared to how it used to be in the mid 80's

Went in this pub as it looked fab from the outside but what a let down when you walk through the door. Its a cross between what used to be a fine traditional pub a workingmans club and a greasy spoon! I asked the old geezer behind the bar for some darts as there were numerous dart boards dotted around the place but was told ' oh no we dont give out the darts during the day because people are eating food'. It was 4pm and the only people in the place were a group of old men in the corner!!! Amazing. I drank in here a few times about 12 years ago when i lived in shrewsbury, its amazing how a place can change so drastically :-(
