The Lion Inn, Telford

Called to watch the rugby. At half time ordered a pint of Wye Valley HPA - a particular favourite after visiting the brewery. Beer took time to serve, more time to clear -which it never did and tasted like dish water.
I explained to the person behind the bar that it was not satisfactory to which he replied "I recognised you as a troublemaker - On yer bike and F*** OFF!"
As a 68 year old cyclist I was un-nerved and upset by the accusation and aggression.
I left after confirming that I could quote the above.
I was wearing a CAMRA t shirt - perhaps he had been bitten by one once? Who knows.

Waggon and Horses, Alfreton

Expected the usual Spoons offering however the real ale offering was limited - partly by the usual two 'available soons'. That tried - can't remember the name - was undrinkable with a strong metallic after taste. (reverted to bottles)
Food was hard to recognise from the menu and overcooked steak was accompanied by 10 chips, one 50p size mushroom and peas which had been boiling for weeks.
Maybe it was a busy Sat. evening however will not be returning!

The Foresters Arms, Madeley

Shropshire Gold guaranteed to be spot on, backed by other Salopian and local offerings for variety. Food still good value. Landlord welcoming and convivial. Worth a visit or two!
