The Pheasant, Telford

Great little pub which was well used on my visit. Rowton's Low Gravity, Ironbridge Gold and Area 51 alongside Everards Tiger, Mobberley Mosaic, Ashover Font and Iron Pier Cast Iron Stout. 2 Cider's on too. Well worth a visit.

Excellent, traditional boozer with a partly opened-out interior comprising a 'L'-shaped seating area on either side of the main door, the counter a bit further back on the left-hand side and another room beyond to the right. With a great range of real ales and ciders from the trio of three-handpumps banks, I went for the Ironbridge Gold (£2.80, in great form and one of a pair of the owning Rowton Brewery beers of offer), with Everard's Tiger also a notable reminder that this is a Project William result. No pretentions here, but deservedly very busy, and just chatter and no music or other distractions.

Enjoyed our visit to this pub yesterday where we found a good selection of ales, including 3 from their own Rowton brewery of which we sampled a couple, and very good they were too. Had a wander outside in the snow, and had a look at the garden and you can look into the brewery from there too.

A Project William pub since 2014 (see the dire reviews for it prior to PW takeover). This is an opened-out, single room boozer done-up to a good standard with purple carpeted area and a large brick hearth – it rather reminded me of a mini Seven Stars in Rugby, which is another PW pub. To the rear is a basic beer garden. Noted gratis brollies for the punters and that the pub is dog friendly. Nine pumps with seven ales and two non-mainstream ciders available – a good mix of regionals and micros, including three for the local Rowton brewery, who I understand have the lease (previously, it was Ironbridge). I went for Ludlow Black Knight. Ironbridge Gold and Area 51, all of which were in great shape and served up by a friendly barmaid. There are also a selection of craft-style kegs located behind the bar. Felt right at home here and the quality and choice of beer made for a stop I would be more than happy to repeat. Excellent pub I plan to revisit. (visited June)

Nicely turned out traditional pub, a bit trendy grey and a posing table but otherwise all very sound. No need for a full description as it's all been done. Popped in early Friday evening to find it pretty full with mainly middle aged mainly middle class punters. They do love to block the bar would be my only minor criticism. I didn't take to the Rowton beers myself although they're definitely well kept. Certainly better than the others tried or looked into in Wellington.

A traditional pub exterior,the interior has been nicely refurbed by Everards under their Project William,which means that Rowton ales will be showcased here among the 9 handpumps. There is an impressive brick fireplace to the right,pleasing bench seating,and some good wood panelling to the rear ,it's all in keeping with a town centre boozer but smartened up and appealing to women as well as blokes. The selection,besides two real ciders,was Black Knight Stout,Rowton IPA,Bitter and Ironbridge Gold (good nick),Titanic White Star ,Wye Valley HPA and of course Everards Tiger.I would happily base myself here for a serious session,it's friendly and really must not be missed when in town.
