The White Hart, Shifnal

This is a splendid single storey half timber building with large dormer windows, it is grade II listed and operates as a free house. The pub has two small traditional rooms, a lounge on the left and a public bar on the right, there is a central island bar that serves both rooms and a short corridor at the back of the building which links the two rooms. The lounge has the bar counter on the right, wood settles, a small TV and a dart board on the back wall with accompanying trophies. The public bar has the counter on the left with a nice fire place in the opposite wall, both rooms have low timber beams and some brass bits and bobs for decoration. I was informed by a friend who explored a little further that there is a small pleasant patio area behind the pub. Regular ales are Holden’s Mild, Salopian Shropshire Gold, Wye Valley HPA and Enville Ale with two changing guest beers which on this occasion were Shires Dabley Ale and Otter Ale. I had the Shropshire gold and the Otter ale as it is rare this far north, both were in excellent condition and my friends confirmed that the other beers were all well kept (Cask Marque and GBG 2011). A fantastic olde worlde pub with traditional character and great beer, which is just my kind of place. It has won several awards over the years which I would say it well deserves, my only criticism is that the atmosphere felt a little clique and the staff were a bit miserable but this is such a good pub that I would not hesitate to recommend it and I look forward to returning soon.

Although I'm not from Shifnal, the White Heart has become my "local" as it has a rotating range of 7 or so ales, with 5 more ready to go,meticulously kept by Andy, the Publican delightful local banter. And HUGE well prepared lunchtime meals that keep puling me back! the only problem is no food eve's or Sundays :>(

One of my regular haunts in Shifnal and has the best beer selection in the town. Has 6 handpumps dispensing assorted Shropshire ales on 4 and guests from further afield on the other 2. I've never had a bad pint in here and I've been in quite a lot. Two rooms, both effectively lounges, both nicely decorated. Friendly staff and regulars, I always end up talking to someone at the bar in here. A must visit in Shifnal.

A large detached white and beam, with some brick build, with dormer windows and beer garden - i believe it is a grade II listed building and it has character. The interior had two rooms that i saw; the lounge and bar. The bar was in white artex, with black ceiling and support beams, with some brick as well. There was a TV, which had the racing on, and a dart board. There were some bits of beer memorabilia around as well as prints of the pub on the walls. The service was fine and the clientele mixed, mainly because i was with a coach party that decended on the place - which they coped with well. Beer; some tap stuff, but what a class choice on handpull; there was Shropshire Gold, Exmoor Gold, Wye Valley HPA and Holdend Bitter that i didnt try - the Enville Ale, Enville Porter and Holden's MILD were a treat. What a quality establishment. If i do not return to this pub it is because i have died.
