The Malthouse, Telford

For some reason this pub is painted bright yellowy orange. It's a large pub with two lounges/bars. Obviously aimed at the tourist and dining trade as it certainly doesn't have the feel of a pub. The bar serving cask ale is to the left of the door, it has 3 handpumps but only Bombardier was on and that wasn't very good either. The right hand lounge is decorated with hearts/pouting lips type memorabilia. It would be fine for Valentines day but just looked cheesy to me. Can't think of any reason why I would ever visit this place again.

Nice restaurant & a couple of indifferent real ales. Live entertainment which is usually quite good. Near the river. Has a very small car park but is in easy walking distance of a couple of municipal car parks. In my humble view this is (I regret to say) the best (north bank)riverside pub in central Ironbridge. Like all the others on the riverside its a bit of a tourist trap. Gets quite lively at weekends.
