Our pubs
Four pubs, run properly. Beams and brass, lit fires, our own beer and gin, and kitchens that cook from scratch.
Welshpool, Powys
The original inn, and still the centre of the group. Low beams, flagstone floors and a stone hearth that's lit from the first cold morning of autumn to the last of spring.
Eagle House, 25 Severn Street, Welshpool SY21 7AD
Oswestry, Shropshire
Oswestry's landmark town-centre pub on Festival Square, newly reopened under the Hogs Inn banner. A family pub with dining inside, tables out on the square and a long tradition of live music.
5–8 English Walls, Festival Square, Oswestry SY11 2PA · (01691) 655851
Middletown, Powys
An early 19th-century inn on the A458, just inside the Welsh border, named after Breidden Hill — the extinct volcano that rises behind it. Formerly the Breidden Hotel (and the Four Crosses before that), it's a proper pub and restaurant, popular for its banquet nights.
Brynhelyg, Middletown SY21 8EL · (01938) 691329
Opening times
Newtown, Powys
One of Newtown's great single-room pubs in the Irish/Scots tradition — a no-frills, three-storey Victorian vaults bar on Broad Street. Monty's Navigation and Sunshine on the bar, and famously some of the best-value pints in town.
15 Broad Street, Newtown SY16 2NA · (01686) 626436
Opening times
What to expect
At least three Monty's cask ales on at any time, plus the full Henstone range.
Short seasonal menus built around Marches farms and growers.
Water bowls, biscuits behind the bar and a spot by the fire.
Families welcome all day, walkers welcome muddy.
Growing carefully
We're always looking for another proper village or market-town pub across Shropshire and the Welsh borders — somewhere with a story worth continuing. If you know of one, or you'd like to run one for us, we'd like to hear from you.
