Cavernous town centre pub whose decor maybe defined as "industrial chic" . Much use is made of reclaimed wood throughout. In the evenings, it is a noted venue for live music when an admission charge may apply. Used to have four handpumps, but as of 2025 this has been reduced to two. Salopian Shropshire Gold is a regular, the guest beer will usually be from a local brewery.

Historic Interest

A pub of many names since it was first recorded as the Slipper in the 18th century, reverting to the Old Slipper in the late 19th century. For most of the 20th century it was part of the M&B empire, before being acquired by Wolverhampton & Dudley (Banks's) who themselves rebranded it several times (Jackson's, Merchant Stores, Rowley's etc)

Information for this venue is provided by the Shrewsbury & West Shropshire Branch of CAMRA
