The Shropshire Arms

The Shropshire Arms is a very bad take on a traditional pub turned Gastro. The main thing about a successful modern pub is ensuring that the clients match the decor and in this case the error is plain to see, the occupants are a cheap and brutish crowd, the old mouthy locals that occupied this place before it was newly decorated and they don’t seem at all comfortable within. The toilets are on the first floor which is silent and creaky with newly laid floorboards even at the height of a Saturday night.

Overall probably the cheapest gaastro around, drinks can be purchased at pub prices but it feels like a poor effort where, in this case the pub may have been better off leaving it to the traditional hands and local regulars to keep the venue occupied - 3/10
