Little Stretton, SY6 6RB (View on Google Map)

Dating from 1663 and lying in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, between the slopes of the Long Mynd and the Ragleth, this is a well established pub. Very much a dining pub with a lounge area either side of the central bar and a separate dining room. The exposed brick walls, wood beamed interior, and the woodburner in the inglenook undoubtedly give that traditional country pub feel. Its situation in prime Shropshire Hills walking country ensures the presence of walkers and visitors, although locals are also much in evidence.

Five real ales are served, four regulars from local brewery alonside a guest beer which may come from further afield.

Background music is just that.

The 435 Shrewsbury to Ludlow bus stops outside until early evening Monday - Saturday. It runs hourly on Monday - Friday and roughly two-hourly on Saturday. There is no Sunday service.

One of the 15 pubs in the Branch area appearing in the 1974 Good Beer Guide. Here's what it said! "Bass-Worthington Mitchells & Butlers Old pub in pleasant rural situation; coal fire in lounge. Handpumps not visible from lounge—real draught beer must be asked for". Became a Good Beer Guide institution for a time, with over 20 appearances in the first 30 years of the book.

Little altered since the mid 1950's with two bars, dining room and off-sales hatch. It is a ghastly post-war gutting with exposed brick and exposed timbering round the servery. On the LH side there is even a tiled roof over the servery. If it was well done it would be an interesting period piece and RI-able: but it isn’t! I am much puzzled by the ref to an off-sales hatch: as you enter you are faced with an opening to the servery but this is part of the modern reconstruction and not the same thing as a trad o/s job.
