Accredited for beer quality 2022.

According to the book "Victorian Shrewsbury", this pub was built about 1860 as Ashley House and has unusually long narrow upper windows. And it has a beer connection in that it was once owned by one of the Southam brothers, of the former Southam Brewery in the town. The stables and other outbuildings still survive.

The pub has a comfortable and calm ambience. Although open plan in theory, the design is such that there are eight different areas. The rear of the pub tends to be for dining with drinkers using the two rooms at the front of the pub. The beer garden is a particular feature with covered and heated areas. There are multitudinous TV screens, both inside and in booths in the garden.

The CAMRA discount does not apply on Mondays when all cask beers are sold at a redueced price.

There are ten handpumps, but they may not all be in use at any one time.

New management from August 2023.

Historic Interest

Historians may be interested to view the blue plaque on the house a few doors away (69 Monkmoor Road) which commemorates the WW1 poet Wilfred Owen. His family were living there at the time of his death in 1918.
