Masons Arms, Shifnal

Country pub that is a little off the beaten track. It seems to have a focus on food. We arrived late in the afternoon, presumably after the lunch crowd and before the dinner crowd. So, there were only a handful of drinkers, the majority of whom were sat outside enjoying the country views. HPA & Wainwright were the real ales.

17th century cuntry pub not far from the outskirts of Halesfield Industrial Estate , despite this there are splendid views to the south Shropshire Hills from the beer garden. The pub is well described in the previous reviews , pretty much food led with a good local reputation . Friendly service and locals , usual kegs and three handpulls with nationals on , i had a GK IPA Gold it was decent for what it was , barman told me they do have beer from micros on occasions. I enjoyed my visit here and will return with Mrs Oggwyn in tow to try some of the exelent looking food.

A nice cream rendered cottagey style country pub, with beer patio. The interior has a couple of rooms. The main room is open plan and has three areas; a bar stool area, a sofa area (where nobody sat) and up a step into a dining area, with a fireplace. The decor is read and white in general, with some white beams, brass ephemera and sport pictures. There is also a dart board and a TV, which had sport on. The was a small 'exclusive' dining room in red and white as well. I didn't eat so can't comment on the food, but the menu was mainly £9 - 16 range. The service I found a little functional at best, the clientele was mixed and it was reasonably attended. Beer; tap stuff with Spekky Hen, Spitfire and a decent Wyre Piddle Through the Leaves on handpull. A tidy enough place that attempts to cover all bases. I believe it has been taken over since the last review was done, so the quirky food is no longer on the menu. Fine place, just lacked a smile for me.

Nice well furnished pub in quiet village. A warm cozy pub with substantial restaurant area. Provides a couple of real ales changed on a regular basis - sometimes they're good sometimes not so good (it's a matter of taste really). Nationally availables beers also served. The food is wonderful, varied and quite reasonably priced. Only place I've ever seen Casserole of Hare on the menu (very tasty). I'm told the Steak & Kidney Pie is superb. Large car park at the rear of the pub opens onto a narrow lane.
