Boathouse |
| The Boathouse is more restaurant than pub, catering for diners rather than drinkers. The view across the Mere must rank as one of the nicest in Shropshire but it no longer serves any real ale. Situated right next to the Mere. |

 Hotel
and pub - it's had a makeover since our last visit in 2015 - now the bar
is on the other side and the room has some nice oak panelling. Two real ales
are normally served but just one was on offer the night we called. Food served. Accommodation. Situated on High
Street. Tel - 01691 622055. Visited Nov 2017 Pub website |

Market Hotel |
 Nice
pub with a bar and lounge, and with a homely real fire on the day we visited in
winter. The Doom Bar was tasty, but the Black Sheep was average - is it just
us, or is Black Sheep just a bit ordinary. Pool table and darts. Situated on Scotland
Street.

Red Lion Coaching Inn |
 There
was a friendly welcome awaiting us. This is a fairly rare Thwaites
pub. Two real ales are on offer
and both were a bit bland and served too cold. The pub is very popular with diners.
Free Wi-Fi. Accommodation. Food served,
with really good value sandwiches. Small car park around the back evokes
the old coaching history of the pub. Pub

 Only
one real ale and it was quite a well kept pint of Tetleys Bitter - however,
our regular readers
will know that we're not the biggest fans of Tetley Bitter, mainly because
it's just not very distinctive. Open plan pub, the TV was on, there was a
nice fire in the bar, and a collection of pottery swans - naturally.

The Vault |
| Blink and you'll miss it. Situated just to the right of Bowen Son & Watson Estate Agents. The Vault is down some steps and into the cellars of old town hall. It's very atmospheric with amazing pink brickwork and alcoves. Just a single real ale on offer - it's brewed by Beavertown Brewery in Congleton. The pub is not currently open from Mon to Wed. Limited food menu. Situated on Scotland Street. Tel - 07825 649085 Visited May 2025 Facebook page |

 Historic

well kept and tasty. Car park around the back. Tables outside at the
front. Occasional live music. Situated on Birch Road. Tel - 01691 622333 Visited July
