Effectively an Indian restaurant. No real ale.

The entrance to the Shakespear leads from the right to the mosaic tile floored bar area with serving counter on the rear wall that faces a row of tables and chairs. To the left is a split-level seating area with wooden flooring and an exposed brick wall with burner at the front and a raised seating area at the rear that had been cleaned with chairs on tables. This was at 20:30 and the pub wasn’t due to close until 23:00, I hate pubs that do this, no wonder it was empty. Premium keg and an option from Beavertown were available from the bar that supports two hand pumps, one of which was drawing Salopian’s Gold (decent) and the other was being used as a blue roll holder. There was no atmosphere and the staff were more interested in going home than bringing in more punters.
