Clun Pale Ale
Hobsons Bitter
Six Bells Big Nev's Bitter 
Three Tuns Rantipole
Readers comments - Can confirm they are now open Sunday lunchtimes both for drink and for meals. Local Six Bells ales a part of their offering - Aug 2009
- Visited on a Tuesday afternoon. Despite having changed ownership in 2010, it retains its original ambience. The garden is worth a visit, but maybe at the appropriate time of year! The beer range has an emphasis on local products for which I'd award 3 stars - Feb 2011- 
5 real ales on, all from Shropshire, and cider from Tenbury, Worcestershire. Had a pint of ale from the relatively recent Clun brewery (can't remember the name of the beer!) which was excellent: 4.5/5 - Aug 2012
  

Crown & Anchor Vaults

The youth pub in town - with noisy decor and music. Floorboards and sawdust - there can't be many pubs like this still left. Good atmosphere. Two real ales from Monty's Brewery in Montgomery at cheap prices. Pool table. Situated on High Street. Occasional live music. Tel - 01588 638966. Visited in Dec 2005  Facebook page
Monty's Bitter
XXX Bitter
Readers comments - Busy pub and is as described, including the sawdust!  2 Monty's beers plus two others I think. Good quality, verging on 4 stars - My 2010
  

Kings Head

Busy, noisy pub with a pool table. Re-opened in early 2008 after being boarded up - and now two real ales. Food served. Situated half way up the hill in Bishops Castle. Tel - 01588 638816. Visited in May 2015  Pub website
Salopian Shropshire Gold
Stonehouse Station Bitter
Readers comment - A youngsters' pub and quite busy, Salopian Shropshire Gold on, 2 star. But let's not knock it, it's open and has real ale!! - May 2010
Bit disappointed with this pub. Yes, real ale on, but the Shropshire Gold was barely drinkable I'm afraid - Aug 2012
  

Six Bells

This is a small friendly pub serving distinctive beers. Bar and lounge. Lively and good atmosphere. Food served. There's a bit of an outside beer drinking area at the back. Situated in Church Street at the bottom of the hill in Bishops' Castle. Tel - 01588 630144. 
Ludlow Gold
Three Tuns XXX
Readers comment -Now under new ownership - 2015 
  

Three Tuns

Visited 2025 and the outside looks really tatty. The pub is under separate ownership from the famous Three Tuns Brewery next door.
Open all day but just one beer was available when we visited - the Landlord and Butty Bach were not on. The XXX was served way too cold. The pub and brewery were sold in the 1890s for £40 and £13 - according to the invoice displayed in the rear bar. Situated in Salop Street at the top of the hill in Bishops' Castle. Tel - 01588 638797. Visited in May 2025

Three Tuns XXX  
Readers comments - Visited on a Tuesday afternoon. Much as already described and still a special place to visit. A range of four Three Tuns beers was available. Three stars awarded - Feb 2011
-Disappointing, the place felt unloved and bereft of soul. Beer not on good form either. I heard the local council are addressing the state of the pub with Heineken, the owners - May 2025
