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.
New management from August 2023.
