The Wheatsheaf, Shrewsbury

As described below though unsure what is the connection with The Beatles? A half of the Salopian Oracle hit the spot, this is one to include on a crawl.

A proper old-fashioned pub with no obvious pretentions, featuring a simply furnished bar at the front and a small, rather bare games room at the back. Quiet when we visited early on a Friday lunchtime, and the place initially had quite a strong odour of cleaning products, but at least the place was clean! All four handpumps in use too, including the local(ish) Three Tuns XXX (£1.65, half).

A nicely upspoilt locals' pub on the Frankwell side of the river, with a room either side of the bar - pool and darts in the rear one. Seems to have regular entertainments judging from the posters. Beers as described below and in fair condition.

Not to be confused with the other Wheatsheaf in the High Street,this one is over the Welsh Bridge in the Frankwell area of town.The exterior shows some very old timber framing,yet the interior has far fewer signs of the buildings age.The side door gives access to the front lounge with a tartan covered seating bench running the full length of the front windows,with traditional tables,while a low roof beam nearer the bar needs care in navigating.The flooring is slate near the bar,carpeted elsewhere. The bar supports 4 handpumps serving a farmyard perry,Three Tuns XXX,Wye Valley Butty Bach and Salopian Oracle (NBSS 3 once it settled.) There is a rear games room with just enough room for a darts board and pool table,with a small access servery.One or two seats in there as well. Sadly a local radio station was playing through the p.a.,but that aside this is a friendly little local.Maybe not a destination pub but worth including on an ale tour of the town .

Two bar locals pub, very traditional all round. Has modern screens & machines stuff and darts. Four pulls in front bar two in that behind, Salopian and Three Tuns plus a cider in ok condition. The pub was a wee bit quiet for a Friday evening especially when a minor England international footy match was being shown.
