Historic Grade II Listed Pub-Hotel in Central Shrewsbury
Accommodation
The Old Post Office offers six furnished hotel rooms, each with quirky and unique layouts not found in typical hotels. Rooms are located in a separate annexe with 24-hour access, and feature private external bathrooms for some room types. The 16th-century building retains authentic historical features such as a cobbled courtyard and narrow stairways.
Dining & Drink
Complimentary breakfast is included with every stay, with a menu offering freshly cooked full English, vegetarian options, cereals, yoghurt, and toast. The pub menu includes generous portions and a 2-for-£20 meal deal, with dishes such as slow-cooked belly pork and lamb shank. Cask ales from local breweries, including Wainwrights, are served alongside a selection of wines and soft drinks.
Entertainment & Events
The Old Post Office hosts live music several nights a week, with bands starting around 9pm, and runs a weekly pub quiz on Wednesdays. A function room is available for private parties and can accommodate karaoke evenings. Guests can also enjoy evening entertainment such as live music and participate in community events that foster a social vibe.
