Back street pub, but near Shrewsbury centre. Has a public bar at the front and a curtained off snug to one side along with a restaurant area to the rear. The bar area is basically furnished, and the three of the four beers are served from an old fashioned beer engine.

On the opposite corner used to be another pub up until 1820, the Swan, from which the street (Swan Hill) got it's name. (Trivia note: former leader of Mott the Hoople, Ian Hunter, wrote a song on a 1990s solo album called '23a Swan Hill', a nearby address,
