The Pour House in Shropshire

The drinks and in particular the cocktails were great, but we felt we were an inconvenience to the waitress. Shame but probably won't go back as a result.

Surprisingly fabulous place!The name put me off a bit as I suspected they might be connected to Albert Shed, just across town. If they are then it is a huge step in right direction as this experience is a million times betterWe have been twice, a Friday tea time followed by a Saturday afternoon and they were excellent both timesOn our first visit we went with the cheeseboard, which was very generously sized and packed with quality ingredients. We also added some houmous from the veggie board, which gave us additional bread. The extra bread was useful because of the sheer quantity of cheese! This wasn't nibbles, this was a satisfying meal that left us contentedly stuffedOn our second trip we tried the sandwiches and they were damn good! The bread had a slight golden crispness to it as if it had met some butter in a hot pan, delicious. The fillings were generous and interesting. They came with a side of chips, well seasoned and crisp and a side salad where someone had made a real effort to make it worth eating. Honestly you won't get a better lunchtime sandwich for £8Beer choice is respectable, wines very reasonable and the cocktails are a real star. This is a venue that really knows it's cocktails, some inspired signature drinks and a solid array of classics. And I don't mean classics like some lesser venues do, I mean proper classics.It could be the only place in town that can make you a Sazerac and if you have never tried one before, try it here first. If you like the idea of absinthe done properly you could even go for Death in the Afternoon. Hemingway would be proudI'm looking forward to going back and working through some more cocktails!Edit: we have been back a few times but recently they have gained a new chef and a much enlarged menu. It was a bit overdue as the previous menu seemed to keep shrinking but the new one has some very tasty dishes.It also doesn't break the bank, if you fancy a casual thrifty meal and a few beers, you can't go far wrong

Fast service and pleasant cocktails

Friendly service and food was tasty. Lost a star as table was dirty, sticky, covered in previous diners food. No attempt to clean it. The room was very dark also.

Waited 40 minutes for drinks as the only customers in the bar, 3 milkshakes a draught pint and a diet coke. We were then told the soda pumps were broke - 35 minutes after we ordered it. Ordered some fried chicken, pictures are worth more than words so is this an £8 portion. They also then told us they can't refund us but will knock 20% off the drinks, after continuing to complain we got a refund and went elsewhere. Absolutely shocking, luckily we had a laugh about what a joke this place is.

Let’s go brass tacks, the burger made me duck and bone. Oof! Hummus? More like humdelicccccious.Will definitely cum to this battlecruiser again. Fnnnnar! Apples and pears guvnor. -EBIt’s proper good mush, I tells ya… Best burger this side of London! -DM

Lovely little venue. Absolutely wonderful staff who were polite, accommodating and really made my first experience 5 star. Great live music and a chilled happy atmosphere.

Love the revamp from Pour House days. Works better as a bar. The best service anywhere right now, chilled live music evenings, fab afternoon milkshakes and cocktails to die for. My local and I’m glad of it (pups welcome too!)

A great cafe for a Sunday cuppa and piece of cake after a walk round the park. Or, have a cocktail, awesome milkshakes, and many more. The Pour House was a great surprise with great staff and service, an ambiance perfect for Sunday afternoons and music that blended in to the environment perfectly. My Gingerbread Latte had great flavour and the 'Gin & Tonic' botanical flavour cake was sensational. Great for yourself, bring your loved ones. I'm told in the evening it becomes a different place, live music and a great way to start and end any night out.
