The Shrewsbury Hotel (JD Wetherspoon), Shrewsbury

Typical spoons affair with regular spoons furnishings. Pleased to report that it did offer a short relief from the average prices. £1.99 a pint to be exact! I sampled a pint of Festival Gold by a Welsh brewery called Waen. It was a light golden and hoppy and was very drinkable. Pleasant barmaid serving behind the bar. Worth a visit.

i am known as elvis by some staff and regulars, a very jolly and decent hotel, friendly staff, good choice of ales and meals are very good, highly advise a visit to this establishment, prices very reasonable.

called there on the 04/07/11 for a drink great beer but had a bottle of wine(exelent), had to ask for a clean glass twice,the third glass had a chip on the rim.stayed in room 210 what a small room that one is,with a view of a brick wall. the full english was briliant and i suppose it made up for the other shit we put up with.

Strategically situated opposite the Welsh bridge, this expansive Wetherspoons Lodge ticks all the usual boxes in respect of beers, food and discounted prices. The interior is quite large and spacious but typically ‘Spoons in the décor department with the screened booths, history snippets (Darwin & Telford being among the better known personailities from the area), silent TV’s and laden bookcases that would shame many libraries. The pick of the old town pictures is an aeriial view of the town taken in 1946. It was the tail end of the November Beer Festival on my visit so I don’t know what the usual run of ales is but I would expect it to be slightly better than average given the size of the pub and the competition in town. Since you generally know what you’re gonna get with Wetherspoons, the Shrewsbury Hotel will not raise or dash your expections but, as decent as the place is, you can't help feel that the place should be more interesting than it is.
