Shrewsbury Crawl

A previous thread on the subject.

Maybe ROBC can remind us (me) of the best chippy in town; he described the portions as summat like ''battered dolphin-size cod with 2lb o' spuds on the side''. Regretfully, I lost the thread or PM in which this nugget of info was stored... (& I still have Shrewsbury to 'do', possible rethink of next year's 50th on the cards here..)

If Oggys going to Coleham then maybe he can confirm my opinion of this chippy.

At the bottom of Wyle Cop (Nags Head) heading towards the English Bridge there's a small street to the right (St Julians Friars). There's a pub on here called the Hop & Friar. Continue past and you'll come to a footbridge across the river (Greyfriars Bridge). When you get to the other side there's a chippy almost facing you, that's the one.

Of course if you've come this far you might as well call in the The Crown and then make your way back into town via the Cross Foxes, Seven Stars, & Globe. Or possibly head further out of town to The Belle Vue Tavern.

I'm also planning a crawl somewhere for my 50th next year. Luckily it falls on a Sunday but I was hoping Spurs wouldn't be at home (they're playing Bolton on the Saturday) which would have given me a full weekend of potential debauchery. I may go off to somewhere like St Albans or Cambridge after footy and have the Saturday evening doing a few pubs and a late night curry, stay overnight and then have a big session on "the" Sunday.

Hmm, I think that might be one you could let slide, in the circumstances... we won't tell anyone.

Love the Woodman and always try to get in there. Both rooms had a real fire on when we were there last, seems quite a while ago now, and I was almost begging for a poker to give a real fire a poke, but didn't get one!

Lovely friendly pub though. Must visit Shrewsbury again. Great place to wander round. Wonder if Dolphin is brewing yet. Last 2 or 3 times there we got an excuse as to why none of their beers on.
