This is a detached little Georgian cottage styled pub perched on a hill with an extensive beer garden around it. A GBG entry, it is in white painted brick, with black door and window paintwork. The pub has nice sash windows with rusticated lintels, the keystone of one of which has a date of 1782 on it. There is also a nice porch and a dog-tooth moulded cornice.

The interior is a single room straight room running along the width of the building, with the serving bar facing you on entry. The decor is a beigey colour, with a beige and beamed ceiling. The fact that pub was once two smaller rooms was shown by one half having a tile floor, while the other was wood, Further, there are a couple of fireplaces, one at each end of the pub. There is a lot of Victorian prints and old photographs of the pub on the walls, supplying interest. The service was very friendly - the landlord interested in which beer i preferred and explaining why the MILD was no longer on. The clientele (and it was busy) seemed mainly local and mainly in rugby shirts watching the 6 Nations. There was no music and normally, so the landlord said, no TV - it being here just for the day.

Beer; usual tap stuff with Shire's Dabley Ale and Gold, Cottage Brewery's Between the Sticks and Morton's Essington Scrummage. All were in tip top condition and enjoyable. I was forced to try them all as Mrs Soup insisted on a pot of tea instead of a cup - the sacrifices I make!

Class. Quality. Afre a day at Blist's Hill opposite, cross the road and come to this place - just make sure you are not driving! Mrs Soup can be hired for a pot of tea.

First impressions of this place as you approach are that it is simply a residential house. Nothing could be further from the truth as it is not only a great traditional free house pub but also the main outlet for Shires/Worfield brewery which is at the back of the building. The building has been used as a pub since 1831 and is well known by real ale fans for being one of only four remaining home brew pubs by the beginning of the 1970’s. The pub has one room with a small bar counter opposite the central entrance, two coal fires, the one on the left has a large basic grate, while the fire place on the right is smaller with a nice Victorian cast iron surround, beamed ceiling, red leather bench seats and old local photos on the walls. There is a second door in the back left corner of the room which leads out to a patio and the outside toilet block.

Regular ales are Shires Dabley Ale, Coalport Dodger Mild and Dabley Gold with a single changing guest beer usually from a brewery in Shropshire or the neighbouring counties (GBG2011). I had the Dabley Ale and the Mild which were both in excellent condition (as you would expect of a brewery tap house).

This is a brilliant traditional pub which has history and character, it’s a little difficult to find if you have not been here before but it is worth searching out. The situation with the brewery is strange as both Shires and Worfield seem to be active and trading from the All Nations, both have up to date web sites which advertise the same beer names but different pump clip designs and they even have identical phone numbers! Whatever the explanation I could not fault the beers in the pub and the prices are very competitive.

Shropshire CAMRA pub of the year 2010 and its easy to see why , only one room and a partially covered beer patio , its worth the walk or slightly dodgy drive up the narrow steep entrance to the carpark . The only entertainment is the regulars friendly banter and is all the better for it . 4 ales on , the pubs own Dabley Ale , Gold and Coalport Dodger Mild plus Gertie Sweet English Maiden and a Weston Scrumpy for apple lovers , the service was friendly and the beer exellent , this is a cracking little pub well worth a couple of hours drinking
