Britannia Inn, Shrewsbury

Split level pub with a dartboard and a TV on the top bit and a few tables in the lower bit. Has two handpumps, however one was turned round. The one beer on was Youngs Bitter. For some reason there seems to quite a bit of Youngs and Fullers around in Shrewsbury, why is that when there's plenty of good local beer around. Friendly locals pub with a roaring real fire in Winter. Close to the station and well worth a visit.

Strange looking pub from the outside - it looks more like it should be serving tea and scones than beer. We only found it by accident. We had popped up to look at the exterior of the Rock & Fountain over the road, only to be scared off by the Carlin' and Worthington signs on it. We dived into the Britannia, for cover, once i realised there were no cakes in the window and i did in fact sell beer. Sort of a half traditional and half trendy refurbed kind of place with the usual taps, Youngs Bitter and, what turned this place into a nice find, a great Ansells MILD, though it was slightly too cold. All in all, will definately visit again, purely for the MILD, if that went, i guess, unless a few more real ales came on, so would I
