King's Head, Shrewsbury

You want to visit - You have this in

Accredited for beer quality 2022

With its double jettied frontage, the timber framed 15th century Kings Head must be one of the town's most striking pub exteriors. Not only that, a refurbishment in 1987 revealed a Pre-Reformation painting of the Last Supper on an old chimney breast. It now takes pride of place in the pub together with a plaque describing its history.

A recent refurbishment has led to the re-introduction of small partitions, which has restored the feeling of a traditional old pub while still looking smart.

Under new management (for the third time in a year) as of May 2024. The latest incumbent is hoping to buy the pub outright from Star (Heineken). The guest beers may come from breweries not often seen in Shrewsbury.

Historic Interest

The King pictured in the pub sign (Henry VII) stayed in Shrewsbury on his way to the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.
