Jaspers Arms, Shifnal

A rather garish mustardy painted pub and restuarant that occupies a couple of older buildings, most of which is the restaurant part. Also has a beer garden. I didnt see the dining area, or eat, so can't comment on that, but the pub/bar room decor is like the Harlequins rugby shirt. with a mix of red, brown and white artex walls, with white painted ceiling and support beams. There are no real picures, just a couple of mirrors on the walls and dart board in the corner. The service was fine, the clientele a couple of blokes. We simply headed out to the beer garden, hence the briefer review. Beer; tap stuff with Jennings Cumberland Ale and a decent enough Banks's MILD on handpull. Doubtless it would be a better experience to eat and drink here. The kind of place that you stop for one.

This is restaurant with a separate bar that feels like a proper pub. It’s quite small and has a dartboard at one end along with a video machine with golf etc on it. Has two handpumps on the pub side selling Banks’s Bitter and a Roosters beer. I asked for a pint of the Roosters and the barmaid walked round to the restaurant side of the bar, she came back with a pint and I said “I asked for Roosters” and she assured me it was. It was definitely a keg beer. I don’t know what was going on here, whether it was a mistake or not, but the bottom line is that I was served a keg beer when the pumpclip was on a handpump. Not happy.
