Cock Hotel, Telford (Old Wrekin Tap)

148 Holyhead Road, Wellington, Telford, TF1 2DL (View on Google Map)

Taken over in 2018 by Joules, who owned the pub in the last century, This 250 year old building has been sympathetically restored and added to with a large restaurant and outside area including undercover converted stables. The original bar has been retained and high seating installed around the windows. The lounge with its large curved window overlooking the crossroads has been updated and made more comfortable. There is a function room upstairs. Food is available lunchtime. Evening meals coming soon at the time of writing. There is now a large car park.

C18th coaching inn on the Watling Street now a hotel and award-winning real ale bar. There was a good deal of refurbishing in the mid-20th century, some possibly before the second world war, some of it certainly after it. The interior lobby has square wood panelled walls and leads to a wood panelled reception area/hall with an open staircase. On the right is the Belgian Bar specialising in Belgian draught and bottled beers. It has upholstered fixed seating, ply-style panelled and leatherette cushioned bar with a copper top and period bar back much of which is probably of the early 1960s. At the rear is a wood-panelled lounge which has square panelling with bell pushes, and a good brick fireplace all from the 1950s. Above the door on the left of the hall is a sign 'The Old Wrekin Tap' which is the main bar. It has a counter which looks of the 1950s - opened-up to a small room on the right, upholstered benches (50s?), half-height panelling which could be 50s and a new brick fireplace. The gents' has three big Adamant urinals and black and white tiled floor.
