This is very much a local's pub as it is slightly away from the tourist trap in town, I would imagine it gets a lot of passing trade in the summer months. This is a good pub for sitting out in the front as it is in a suntrap on a hot day. It's a Holdens pub, so had 5 pumps with 4 in use, XB, Golden Glow, Bitter and Mild. I went for the XB, which was very good along with the price, and sat out in the front. It's a handy pit stop if you're planning on walking further down the river.

Quite a large pub, seemingly two buildings combined, with a stripped-back, alehouse feel to it. In contrast to the previous reviewer, I felt it was a bit cliquey here, but this was probably because of a group clustered around the counter, which may be just a temporary thing. My beer was poured a bit short, with no offer of a top up from what I took to be an inexperienced young server, but the landlady stepped in and topped me up without being asked, which is a good point. But when I started on my beer it was evident that it was frothy because it had been put on too soon, so was not a pleasant drink. Added to the persistent and too loud modern synthetic pop music, this did not make for a successful pub visit.

After a very steep descent down from the Golden Ball, we arrived at this Holden's pub which is adjacent to a bridge (not the Ironbridge) across the River Severn.
Numerous groups were eating outside on tables next to the pubs lengthy car park, suggesting that there'd been a bit of a rush not long before our arrival. The numbers eating alfresco were surprising given the air still had a bit of a chill to it.
We needn't have worried, as there were plenty of available tables indoors. Despite being nearer the tourist areas, this place seemed much more friendly than the Golden Ball, which had felt a little cliquey.
Black Country Bitter & Golden Glow are the two real ales. There was no real cider.
Given where we were, I found it a little amusing listening to Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water coming from the speakers. The ensuing track had no bridge references at all, much to my disappointment!
