The White Hart, Shifnal

Extremely well kept pub dating from the 17th Century. The pub is situated at the far end of Shifnal and is a stand alone pub. The interior is traditional and has a country pub feel about it. The main features here for me was the timber frame structure, leaded windows and always great to see some cobs on the bar also. Nine handpumps, with a choice of six ales on our visit, so I went for the Salopian Hop Twister.

Another great Shifnal pub to follow on from my earlier visit to the Plough. I walked into the room on the left sporting three handpumps then decided to go to the other side which had six handpumps. The GK Abbot pump in here looked out of place amongst all the micro beers. I then opted for Holdens Mild from the three bank to get another Shropshire May Mild sticker. This was truly on top form and only £2.60 per pint. All the milds I have "collected" on the scheme have been less than £3. In this pub it seemed every conversation overheard from the bar was about beer from all ages and both sexes. They really take an interest in what they are drinking!

This is an old listed pub on the North side of Shifnal, It has won various CAMRA awards. Inside there are Public and Saloon bars. I opted for the Saloon as it was quiet. This bar had a bank of four pumps with a solitary one selling Enville Ale. Other beers included GK Abbot, Salopian Shropshire Gold, Holden's Mild & Bitter and Wye Valley Butty Bach. I went for the Shropshire Gold (£2.50) which was in excellent condition. It would be nice to see something a bit more exotic than Abbot, but maybe it's not quite as ubiquitous in this area as it is down South. This is a good solid GBG listed pub and well worth a visit.
