Bull Ring |
| Formerly the Black Gate and now part of the Smithfield next door. This is an old black and white pub with a cute little porch on the front. There is a bar and lounge, and the lounge has an original black grate with a real fire. A section of the wall in the lounge reveals the original wattle and daub walls. The Wadworths 6X was chilled, it's not our favourite pint anyway. Situated on Salop Street. Tel - 01691 679268. Visited Jun 2009 |

Popular pub on Willow Street serving a pretty ordinary pint of John Smiths

Top White Lion Inn |
| Ex-Greenalls pub and before that it was a Wem Ales pub with a lounge and bar. Long red bench seats. Car Park. The interior is an oasis of calm, especially on a Friday or Saturday night when the other pubs on Willow Street are pumping out the music. So the pub is missing a great opportunity to offer customers a tasty difference - but sadly only Tetley Bitter is on offer - it's served a bit cold, and Tetleys can be a bit bland. Situated on Oakhurst Road. Tel - 01691 852529. Visited Jun 2007 |
