Accredited for beer quality 2022.

This is a pub which has had several changes of name in its history. It was first recorded in 1861 as the Globe, then in 1916 it became the Smithfield. In 1959 it was changed to the Proud Salopian. This was to commemorate the achievement of Thomas Southam in becoming mayor of Shrewsbury on four separate occasions. The latest name change reflects its current inn sign. The pub that is popular with all age groups and has a modern, albeit sometimes noisy, atmosphere. Consider it a Sports bar with 5 screens always on, showing football/rugby/racing. Music can be on the loud side. There is a small garden to the side along with a further bar, The Cabin without real ale, but it will be fetched from the pub. Upstairs is a function room called The Loft.
