Hello Jeremy,

Sorry I couldn't reply any sooner. I failed to receive your last two emails before setting off for the medieval-ish and immensely enchanting Shrewsbury, and couldn't check the emails whilst there. I hope you had a nice weekend too?

Thanks to your recommendations, in fact I visited ALL of the pubs (bar one: Boat House - passed - but didn't stop - by), plus one or two more (incl. The Dolphin, a brewpub in itself, hard to reach but well worth a visit)~~

My favourite haunt is actually "Three Fishes" - decent and reasonably-priced fish dishes, frequently-rotated and smartly-selected local/regional ales all in nearly-perfect condition, great atmosphere and friendly bar staff... can't complain at all.

Dried hops were hung all over the place as decoration, matching the exposed wood beams just seamlessly. I actually visited that place three times during my stay!
