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 |

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 -

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 |

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

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.

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 |
