The Coach & Horses, Shrewsbury

Just off the town centre, this a fairly cosy sort of pub with some nice old features. Half a dozen ales and a cider or two can be had from the tiled front bar, and a smaller bar behind which has a large restaurant area to the rear. Quite pleasant.

Small and cosy ,this street corner pub has a front room which incorporates a seperate small seating section ,but most punters gather on the long bench seat under the front window opposite the bar.My visit was on a crawl and I failed to inspect the rear room.There was a pleasing hubub about the place and it had a tradition boozer vibe. I noted 4 handpumps in the tap room serving a real cider,Goffs Jester Brew 10,Hobson's Best and Salopian Oracle (NBSS 3).Not the most exciting line up but a decent stop on a real ale crawl.

Nice enough pub but no real ale of any strength. I had a strong cider which was in fine order. Front and back rooms available and we left as what looked like a coach party was coming in - good timing.

A fine side-street pub, featuring a very traditional two-bar interior with four handpumps in the busy front room (with a side snug) and two more in the rear part (which is extended within a dining room beyond). Two Stonehouse Brewery beers (Station and Off the Rails) on offer, and the two real ales from Salopian (Shropshire Gold and Oracle) are priced at just £2.20 during 'happy hours'. Phoenix Arizona and a Thatcher's cider also available.
