Hobsons Town Crier

Readers comment - Re-The Old Orleton (formerly The Falcon)
A shame about the change of the historic name perhaps, but a good Hobsons' Town Crier still available like in the 'old' days - and a pleasantly up-market bar area to drink - Sep 2006

The Park

Relaxed atmosphere when the TV's are not on.

Bit of a car park at the front, tables outside and a nice beer garden. The London Pride was well kept and tasty. Spacious and open plan with a pool table.

Bombardier
Courage Directors Bitter
Fullers London Pride

The lovely old courage lettering and hotel sign were ripped off a few years ago during some sort of external refurb, I think its a Bass pub now. Usually a couple of real ales when I've been in lately - Summer Lightening amongst them - just a shame there are enormous TVs in every room of the place constantly blasting football out. A particular shame as the building has such potential - Jan 2007

Old Speckled Hen

Reader's comment - open again after a major refurb, already popular for meals, particularly as its non-smoking throughout and more wheelchair accessible than before. Two handpulls with Abbot Ale and IPA when I went at Christmas, but these didn't taste brilliant, and otherwise a bit of a keg-fest - Jan 2007

Reader's comment - The Wrekin in Wellington has opened as a real ale friendly pub - Nov 2008
Reopened late last year after a few years of being closed. It is a dedicated real ale house with usually 5 or 6 interesting beers on, usually from micro breweries. A selection of real Ciders, either straight from the barrel or in bottles, is stocked. Darts and live music including 'open mic' sessions on Tuesdays. Beer quality excellent - Jul 2009
