These pubs had consistently high beer scores before lockdown 6 These pubs intend to have additional/special beers for the event

1 The Red Barn is a large two-roomed pub with two well-kept ales and good pub food. There is an extensive quiet outdoor drinking area behind the pub. The licensees formerly kept the Abbey and developed its reputation for a wide range of ales and hope to do the same here You can walk the half mile (800m) from the Red Barn to the Grove by a path to the left of the grave yard (as marked on the map) or via Central Drive, Longden Green, Oakley Avenue and Oakley St. There’s only a few metres difference, but we think the off road path seems to pass more quickly! 2 The Grove is a long, thin pub with one large room and some smaller spaces, with a long thin beer garden which runs down to the railway line to Aberystwyth. A Marstons house, it carries three and sometimes four of their ales.

3 The Belle Vue Tavern is a cosy community pub, which always serves a good pint of Bass alongside at least one and usually two other cask ales. Formerly a Scottish and Newcastle pub, but their beers are now rarely seen.

4 The Masonic Arms is an L-shaped sports pub serving up to four cask ales, usually including London Pride and St Austell Tribute. Home to several pub games teams and a golf society.

5 The Prince of Wales is a two room pub with a large terrace and bowling green to the rear. It is the current Pub of the Year and our Branch Pub of the Year. The pub serves 6 ales normally, but is also running a mini-festival Thurs 10 - Sun 13th 6 The Boars Head has recently reintroduced cask ale to its oer, and now serves two or three well kept from the Marstons range. A darts and doms pub with a strong locals base, but a warm welcome for visitors. Much of the car park is now an outside drinking area, and there is a small terrace. 7 The same family has been serving Bass in the Cross Foxes since 1985 along with at least two, often three other ales. A small, L-shaped locals darts and doms pub with a warm, welcoming interior. The M&B mild is, unfortunately, keg only.

8 The Hop and Friar is a Marstons Pub serving two from their range. The lack of trac past the front door keeps the rear garden area (extended for the moment) a quiet if paved haven.

9 The House of Grain (a converted grain store) adds two cask ales to the six craft beers on oer. Pavement seating on the pedestrianised area. The upstairs room is a restaurant.

10 The Nags Head is an unspolied wet-led pub serving four of ve ales, and has a surprise in store in its surprisingly large rear garden - a 14th century hall house! It can get very busy at peak times.

Other nearby pubs are The Seven Stars (11 no cask ale, Friday eve to Sunday only), The Crown (12, Marstons), The Lion and Pheasant Hotel (13, Freehouse, 2 LocAles) and the Henry Tudor House (14, Shrewsbury’s only pub in a Grade 1 listed building and serving 2 ales)
