This hard to find village is in an obscure backwater of the Shropshire Hills, but enough people seem to find it and enable it to keep ticking over. Obviously most lunchtime customers are here for a bite to eat, while I was just taking a photo and mgulping a quick half by way of a refueling stop before heading off to Bishops Castle and Clun on my bike. To that end, the five hand pumps on the bar looked promising, with Wye Valley Hopfather and Best Bitter, Hobsons Best and Three Tuns Pale. I went for the Three Tuns, but it was not in the best of condition - nothing to complain about, just not as good as in other pubs I had visited in the area. Date of visit: 21st April 2017

Small friendly Village local in a quiet hamlet in the wonderfull South Shropshire Hills , there is a couple of outdoor drinking areas one of which is covered . Inside it is very traditional in feel with some old framed adverts and country prints , the food has a very good local reputation. Usual keg taps and 5 handpulls with 3 in use with Butty Bach , Hobsons Best and an ok Three Tuns XXX , service and locals friendly
