A great old-fashioned two-bar back-street local. A previous Chairman of the local CAMRA branch secured its ACV status in 2016.
Separate public bar with real fire, dart board and piano. Honky Tonk music is enjoyed from 5pm to 7pm Sunday afternoons. There are also bands playing some Friday or Saturday evenings.
Some tables in the public bar feature table-top games such as Backgammon, Draughts and Snakes & Ladders. Other board games are available and well behaved children are welcome till 9pm.
The quieter lounge bar also has a fruit machine.
Fully paved outside seating with a heated area for smokers. The car park has now been taken over as outside seating. It also has a Pizza van which is open Wednesday to Saturday.
Enjoy 40p off a pint of McMullen ale only between 4pm to 7pm, Monday to Friday.
McMullen may start using sparklers; be warned!
Pub was refurbished in November 2022, new pictures, wooden panels painted lighter, light blue bars with battleship grey on walls and back panels.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
Built in the late 1800s, the Wonder retains its layout of two bars and between them an off sales (no longer in use) and many fittings from a refit of 1929 remain.
Named after an early 19th century stagecoach that did the London-Shrewsbury journey in just under sixteen hours. The left hand public bar had a servery added for the first time in 1929 so the bar back, and bar counter with vertical panelling are from this date as is the matching dado panelling and the brick fireplace. Unfortunately the bar counter and panelling has all been painted a dull blue.
A passage runs between the two bars. The small right hand saloon bar received a new servery in 1929 so the mirrored bar back, and small bar counter also date from then. The dado panelling and brick fireplace also date from then and, like that in the public bar, the panelling is also painted blue. The two U-shaped pieces of fixed seating also look old.

This is the venue for what is now very rare Old Tyme Singalong on Saturday evening from 9pm and Sunday from 4.30 to 7.30 with Honky Tonk Dave on the piano and Mick on the spoons!
