Housmans

Re-opened in 2009 as Housemans - it used to be the Wine Vaults. The sign outside says it's a restaurant but you can pop in for just a beer. This must be one of the narrowest pubs in Shropshire - but it still has an nice airy feel to it. Lots of little spotlights add to the ambience. Food served. Artwork adorns the walls and it's all for sale. Situated on Shrewsbury Road. Tel - 01694 724441 Visited Jun 2019

Ludlow Best
Ludlow Gold

Readers`comments - Bright, open and clean interior. Despite a restaurant feel, there's a bar with two real ale handpulls - from the Three Tuns brewery. Also the tables are not laid out for diners. So it's still more a pub than a restaurant. I had a pint of the Three Tuns Stirling (4.1%) - it was served a bit cold but once warmed up was a good pint. So I'll give it a rating of 3.5 out of 5. The owner seems very enthusiastic and there were an incredible amount of staff on duty! Worth popping in if in Church Stretton - Nov 2009

Joules pub. Small old fashioned, traditional pub with lots of beams. Old black and white adverts adorn the walls. The pub looks tiny from the outside but it goes back a long way. Beer garden at the back. Situated at 53 High Street. Visited Jun 2019 Pub Website
