Boreatton Arms (Station Road, near Shrewsbury B4397) (01939) 261412.
This is a one of those rare pubs with a non-smoking dining area "Do you mind if I eat
with your smoke?" is the usual phrase. It also has a courtesy bus to get you home and
yes, they do have a license to do it. It is a modern brick pub with double-glazing and I
have to say it is a little garish, but inside is a different matter. It looks a little
like a tea shop in the dining area, all frills and table cloths. Food however is served
until 9pm and is wholesome and tasty. Jenny and Dave, the owners, do all sorts of food,
from lasagne and chips to trout and new potatoes and is well worth seeking out for the
food alone. However, this is a freehouse and does guest ales. On at the time were Everards
Tiger and Hancock's Best. The single bar area is small and cramped but is cozy and
friendly, (though there is a bar area in the restaurant). The Boreatton Arms is
close to a staffed rail level-crossing so is easy to find on the map. More recently they
have put up an extension due to its popularity. This will become the restaurant and the
original bar will be extended to fill the two original rooms. Children are welcome until
9pm if eating, though there isn't an outside play area as yet. This might change in the
future though. Wheelchair access is good and will be even better when the extension is
opened in September. There is no accommodation here.
