See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

Large Georgian coaching inn on banks of River Severn having benefitted from extensive refurbishment in recent years. This has partially recreated the places old multi roomed feel that was lost when Cains Brewery turned it open plan in the late 1990's. To the left of the entrance are comfy sofas, to the right is the main bar area with TV screens showing live sport. There is a separate dining area to the left of the main bar. There are usually two real ales on sometimes three. Brains Rev James and Three Tuns xxx often feature. The hotel reception is found at the very front to the left but is not always manned and bar staff cannot always see people waiting especially when busy. The river wall is located alongside and is popular on warm nights and afternoons with some benches as well, to the rear is a car park and further buildings. A riverside restaurant and hotel breakfast is found in one along with hotel rooms marketed as more upmarket Riverside Rooms and cheaper Bothy Rooms, the hotel rooms above the public bar have been recently refurbished. A large function room with own bar is also found at the rear – a favourite for weddings etc.
