| Disappointing. We'd been told it had won Shrews Camra Pub of Year so visited during a trip on 9 Sep. The building exterior and inetrior had no character wahtsoever. Choice of beers ok, but nothing special. Probably a good 'community pub', but after treking for about 30mins to find it, it was a complete letdown. anonymous - 12 Sep 2006 13:03 |
| A pub with rotating MILDS is a dream come true. They come from Ansells, Hanby, Hobsons or Salopian breweries. As well as the cask MILDS it also has Banks's smooth pour keg MILD. A full range of other real ales are also on tap. I drank Ansells hanpulled MILD at £1.90 a pint on my visit today as well as a delicious and reasonably priced homemade lasagne, to a mellow background of soft rock. This pub is truly amazing, very difficult to find but a brilliant place for starting out on a tour of Shrewsbury. Out the back is a seating area looking onto the bowling green. The landlady and barmaid made us feel at home and offered unbeatable service. Parking is a problem, but I have the answer. I turned off the A458 Old Potts Road into Scott Street and parked up. It took just a couple of minutes to walk across the railway line by the footbridge. To reach the High Street shops from the pub only took 10 or 15 minutes by way of the Greyfriars Footbridge over the river. Real Ale drinkers visiting Shrewsbury should all head for this pub, a true gem. Stus.search.4.mild - 9 Jul 2006 00:53 |
| Update - there is no longer a pool table at this pub. A new extension to the terrace decking is underway. The Mini Beer Fest this year, 2006, is Late May Bank Holiday, Saturday and Sunday Bevboys - 19 Feb 2006 16:45 |
| Good selection of well-kept real ales, friendly atmosphere and home-cooked meals. Lots to do and some ( limited ) car parking. nealnewbrook - 27 Nov 2004 11:13 |
| This pub has undertaken a challenge by re-introducing cask ales and, if the last 18 months have been anything to go by, it is a policy that is working. Although a small range there is usually a local Shropshire cask ale to complement the national Green King IPA. The enthusiasm of the Landlord & Lady to make this work has led to their support for major CAMRA initiatives such as National Pubs Week and hopefully in 2004 the Mild In May.It is off the beaten track up a narrow side street with a small car park on the front but usually with some on-street parking available nearby. There is a pool room and the pub has active bowls, darts, pool and dominoes teams. A great community pub with real ale and a real log fire - excellent! They hope to run a mini beer-fest in the Summer of 2004. Nigel - 23 Apr 2004 18:25 |
