Quite a turnaround from the previous review, when the Unicorn was a "no real ale" desert. Now it's one of the best pubs in Telford, with five cask beers and a still cider, plus keg beers from the likes of Deya, Verdant, Buxton and - yes, OK, Sharps Doom Bar. I couldn't resist the Green Duck Bostin' Mild XXL 6%, and it was in very good condition, as was my second choice, Noble Crusade 4%, a new brewery to me. All beers are listed on a video screen, which rotates to also show what is coming soon, which numbered about 16 beers before I lost count. The bar counter is on the left in the second room on entering, with a further room through an arch. It's all very well decorated in varied colours and carpets. This pub is worth the effort to get here - I was cycling, so I really do mean effort - but there are buses that get to within a short walk. (Closed Mondays, opens 3:30 midweek, 2 Friday, 12 at weekends.)
