Ye Olde Robin Hood, Telford

Badged as a freehouse but signed as and selling Holdens excellent ales in good condition, plus the inevitable keg range . There is a large square area on entering with a dining area to the side although the pub is all pretty much that way inclined. Through an opening to the left is a more comfortable lounge with upholstered benches as well as more brown tables and chairs. The bar counter is straight ahead when you enter, there are a few seats and bar stools here and at the back right is another little cubby hole with an odd mural showing the iron bridge and gorge. Décor in black beams and white plaster with pictures and prints of the area and big screens in both main areas. The terrace was filled with younger drinkers while the more respectable middle aged ones were indoors.

Smart locals pub away from the main Wharfage area. Low ceilings with exposed timbers, photo's and maps of old Ironbridge along with the history of the pub on the walls. It's a Holdens pub and was serving the Bitter and Golden Glow. As is common with Holdens pubs it had a sign up claiming that the guest beer was Golden Glow which of course it isn't as it's brewed by Holdens. I had a pint of the “guest” which was pretty good. Nice enough place which is probably packed in summer as it has a nice terrace.

This Holden's house is just out of town and overlooks the river next to the new bridge. Guest, mainly local, real ales also available. Good basic food at very reasonable prices. Car parking available at the eastern end of the pub, though exiting the car park can be awkward at time due to its location. They also have a small terrace with tables & benches at the front from where you can see the river. Folk music about once a month.

Excellent pub, great food, friendly staff and good beer

Brew pub that has recently been refurbished. The brewery and pub are now separately owned. Beer is always excellent and the food is good too. A "concert hall" out back features regular jazz and classical music

Holden's house, the furthest from the brewery I believe. The day we visited the Mild was excellent, the Bitter less so.
