Built in the 1870’s as a retirement home for a wealthy Shrewsbury merchant, this large pub was first licensed in 1931, when it was extended into the building that we see today.
Not far from Shrewsbury FCs ground, this is a vast pub with attendant gardens and carpark. It closed for a while after suffering flood damage in 2025, reopening a few months later. A visit on 2/10/26 elicited the fact that the two handpumps had Doom Bar and something from "Wychwood" on.
Darts and pool are played.
Food is served all day. Some of the details shown here need updating.
