Decent pub , large selection of real ales and a couple of ciders , very popular but does lack a bit of atmosphere

Nice brick exterior, though the inside is a little threadbare. The memorabilia is naval in theme, which suits the pub - Benbow being an admiral who died during the War of the Spanish Succession, against the French, in 1702.
The pub gives friendly service and a big choice of everything from real ales to bottled lagers (didn't see any French ones!)
I had the Old Castle Dark MILD, which was quality and the Shropshire Stout, which wasn't so nice. Great pub, always to be visited when in Shrewsbury, especially with the Coach & Horses next door.

Please don't mention this place as you'll get me all excited. Very near the town centre so forget about parking. Very good selection of local real ales - does real cider & perry too. Perry - that's what the ignorant call Pear Cider. Cider comes from apples, Perry from pears & ale from heaven. Can't remember ever seeing any lager (from Hell - in Switzerland they even call it Hell bier) in the place - wow! Has an entry in CAMRA Good Beer Guide.
