The Boathouse - Pub in Shropshire
New Street, Shrewsbury, SY3 8JQ, Shropshire
England,
United Kingdom
Surely one of the best waterside pubs in the country, linked to the centre of Shrewsbury town by a glorious riverside path, this huge historic pub stands on the banks of the Severn overlooking Quarry Park. Swamped in summer (and during very wet winters!), the smart decked terrace and big garden draw the crowds for cool drinks, pretty views and top-notch bar food featuring the best of Shropshire ingredients. On cool days, arrive early to bag a fireside table or one with a river view. Nautical colours, beams and cushioned benches set the scene for pints of Wye Valley and hearty plates of food: local favourite, Shropshire gold battered cod and chips; sharing boards; towering burgers with skin-on fries and coleslaw; Cornish ice cream. Service is friendly, and summer brings festivals galore: flowers, food, dragon boat races ...
