The staff and customers, as per the rock pub tradition are the friendliest in town. Also live stuff such as music and burlesque. The toilets are a bit gross, but you're too busy snarking at the little cheesy thoughts painted onto the wall.

Regulars are decamping elsewhere. The lounge has become uncomfortable and frankly needs a deep clean. They are doing regular singers and was having karaoke unfourtnately the pub isnt best acoustically so you tend to be blasted out. They have introduced TVs what was a cosy traditional pub is no longer. On the plus side they do good cobs. On the down side theres no landlords on site its managed remotely and some bar staff are great one or two others are frankly not.

Our experience is limited to having beer here, so this review must be considered in that context…read more We went here a couple times when in Shrewsbury and found that they have a good range of cask ales in excellent condition, and the prices are low. They had 6 cask ales at the time we were there. The range is all part of the Marston's/Banks's lineup but that's fine since they have a good range of beers and some excellent ones. The beer was in excellent condition. Service was good. The place itself is a neat, characterful old pub with different rooms, and a small bar area not connected directly to the rest. It's on a narrow street in the heart of old Shrewsbury near St. Alkmund's Church and the old Prince Rupert Hotel.

A few small rooms, the television restricted to the bar, and everything clean and tidy. Ringwood Fortyniner was our chosen ale which slipped down very well and my discerning wife alternated between J2O and coffee. The coffee must have been good because she commented favourably upon it. Our lunch was modestly-priced, well-served and nutritious and, speaking for myself, the ham, egg, chips and beans toasted delicious. We'll be back.
