This famous and historic pub and brewery has been the “beating heart” of Bishop’s Castle since 1642. Refurbished and enlarged, it still maintains the spirit of the original pub – public bar, snug bar, lounge bar – but with the addition of a classy oak framed, glass sided dining room.
A bustling, lively atmospheric pub created by the many charismatic locals who regard “The Tuns” as their home from home; it serves a wondrous array of real ales from the adjoining brewery, XXX, Best, Clerics Cure, Rantipole plus seasonal offerings. Open all day, every day.
Open for food: Mon – Sat 12.00noon – 2.30p.m. and 6.30p.m. – 9.00p.m.
Sun 12.00noon – 3.00p.m. Average dish price: £13.50.
Type of menu:
a modern, eclectic menu using locally sourced, fresh ingredients includes firm favourites, the famous Three Tuns burger, Beer Battered Fish & Chips as well as ‘probably’ the best ribeye steaks in Shropshire. Vegetarian and Vegan options always available.
A restored and characterful function room sees everything from live music (jazz to rock to classical) to Morris Dancing and the Film Societies screenings. No piped music or fruit machines. We are proud to be supporters of the annual Bishop’s Castle Real Ale Festival and the Bishop’s Castle Arts Festival.
