The cash only Yorkshire House is a dimly lit rock pub with décor that you would expect in such a place, although the full-size orc and wizard were interesting enough for me to take photos. The wizard is found by seating in the front left corner before the bar that is mid-way up the left-hand wall. Premium keg was available and three of the four hand pumps were in use drawing Wye Valley’s HPA and Butty Bach alongside Lilley’s Mango. Banquettes with tables run across the front windowed wall where they face a wall lined with padded bench seating, and on the right-hand wall is a fireplace where a couple of hiding goblins are guarded by the orc. Behind this wall is more seating, including banquette booths along the rear wall that are faced by another fireplace on the left-hand wall to the rear. The service was polite and the locals at the bar seemed pleasant enough, but the HPA was past its best and I’m not a huge live music fan, so a revisit isn’t on the cards.

I haven't visited a rock pub for quite some time, so the novelty factor on this visit was good. I found the young and trendy landlady, plus a handful of locals, very friendly and welcoming. The music was good so stayed slightly longer than expected. Four pumps serving Hobgoblin, Salopian Shropshire Gold, St Austell Proper Job and Old Rosie Cider.

Fortunately I had done my research on this one so it didn’t come as too much of a surprise when entering this fine looking period building. Yes, this is definitely one for those that prefer their gothic Halloween decor all year round.
I guess you need to be in the mood for this one and probably on a dark evening when you have your rock head on and want to get sloshed to Led Zep IV this is probably the best pub in the world. But on a damp wet miserable afternoon in Autumn on a crawl of Shrewsburys fine establishments, this certainly wasn’t for me. Probably also not helped that I likewise went for the house Bikers Fuel Pale Ale, which was a big mistake.
