The Anchor

The Anchor was up for sale in Mar 2001, but it's been updated and re-opened. A tasty pint of JW Lees, quite rare in Shropshire. Pool table and large screen TV. Food served. Music can be a bit loud so it's popular with younger drinkers. Situated on Pepper Street. Tel - 01948 662091. Visited June 2002

Timothy Taylor Landlord Bitter 
Landlords comments: We always have one Cask Ale on occasionally two, and we don't have fixed Ale. Instead we cycle through, a selection we get from our Brewery which include Tim Taylor, Hobgoblin, Speckled Hen, London Pride, Rev James, Bombardier, to name a few. These are then interspersed with Hanby's and Woods Brewery. Of the two the Woods sells far better - Apr 2007
