Readers comments - My old local the Crown in Market Drayton gave me some good memories but now I am disappointed to say the the Marstons Pedigree Bitter is very bad. Jan 2006

Gingerbread Man

Tom Cobleigh pub. Market Drayton is the home of Gingerbread - but the pub didn't have any on the menu. Six handpulls on the bar - but only one real ale - and a sad excuse it was too, tasting a bit like cold tea. There's a big car park and a kiddies play area. Food served. Situated off the A529 on Adderley Road. Tel - 01630 652771 Visited Apr 2003

Jack Hanby's Place

Freehouse pub. A popular local with original floorboards and lots of events. Guest ales - the Hobsons was a bit ordinary but it was difficult to taste the beer in such a smoke filled atmosphere. There was a lively game of dominoes going on and the signs around the pub announced lots of upcoming events such as 70's nights and a pub quiz. Situated on Stafford Street.

Large pub but with keg beer only

Readers comments - Pub acquired by Joules Brewery - Mar 2009

Red Lion

Bass pub. The outside offers little clues to the minimalistic style interior - which got a thumbs up from the beer tasting team. The beer wasn't bad either which is quite surprising because Bass and Worthingtons both needs to be well kept to taste at their best. There are two bars and food is served during the day. Lots of black and white framed photos in the front bar. Situated on Great Hales Street. Car park. Tel - 01630 652602 Visited Apr 2003
