The Ragleth Inn, Church Stretton

If you like olde world atmosphere this is a must, food was good and drink.

Mostly a food-led pub (although I arrived in the mid-afternoon break so it was getting quieter for a while). Anyway, as you enter, the first thing you see is effectively the side of the compact central servery. However, the main part of the counter faces into the lounge on the left-hand side (with a dining room beyond), but the main dining areas off to the right were still busiest. Five real ales on handpump: HPA and Butty Bach from Wye Valley, Hobson's Best Bitter, Ludlow Gold (£4.20, and thankfully in good shape after a couple of ropey pints in Craven Arms) and - randomly - Morland Original.
