The Anvil, Shifnal

Very friendly locals pub. Had two beers on called Anvil Best Bitter and Anvil Ridgeway. They're either brewed for the pub or rebadged, but Mick, the landlord wouldn't tell me which brewery brews them. No matter they were both in good condition. I only called in for one but ended up having a second. I'll be calling in again now I'm working in the area.

This is a white rendered cottage styled pub, with dormer windows, with Guest House and a patio area. The interior of the pub is in white and wood panel mainly. It is open plan as such, meandering, as you walk in, around the bar and then into an area that had a dart board. There was a tiled floor and a brick fireplace. There were some general prints on the walls - i think birds (feathered) featuring along with some general bits of ephemera, such as a Laurel & Hardy figurine. The service was good and the clientele few, but mixed. The background music was general and at an OK level. Beer; usual tap stuff with Everard's Tiger on handpull, along with two brews particular to the Anvil - Anvil Hammer, which was fine and Anvil Ridgehead - i had this originally, but it was on the turn and changed without quibble by the nice lady behind the bar. All in all, one of the better pubs in Shifnal, a nice game of darts, a nice beer and nice environment. Will be back if in shifnal again.
