Abbot Ale  Salopian Shropshire Gold |
| Readers
comments - Very much a food pub with all tables laid for diners. The food is excellent and well worth a Michelin star if ever they get as far north as Shrewsbury. On my last visit they had Salopian Shropshire Gold - very tasty. - Definitely the best food in Shrewsbury, old favourites and some very innovative dishes prepared to perfection in a nice, cosy (and quirky) atmosphere. Not a drinking pub - June 2008 |
