The Lounge Bar
With a roaring log fire in winter, and offering a cool shaded space in the summer. The lounge is an ideal place to relax and unwind, but don't be surprised if you find yourself in the middle of a room-wide conversation, this is a natural space for meeting old friends and making new ones. Many people enjoy the lounge as an informal dining space.
The lounge houses a selection of paintings by local artist Pat Evans from Tankerville Gallery and Pottery, which can be purchased here. There is a cabinet of hand crafted goodies (all made on the premises by Phil & Lara) in the corner, should you wish to purchase gifts and souvenirs. Check out our gifts & goodies here.

The Public Bar
The newly designed and refurbished bar is a favourite space for wet walkers and hikers, to dry off by a roaring log burner, after walking the Stiperstones hills or the Shropshire Way. It is an even more relaxed area than the public lounge and has a television for occasional sports fixtures or events, and has gentle music playing throughout the day.
The Bar is ideal for drinks and light meals, many people choose to dine in this beautiful & informal space.
Dogs are welcome within the bar area, but on leads at all times and not on the furniture please.

History
Originally built in the 1750’s as two cottages and a smithy for the workers of Green Farm and extended in the 1780's. The oldest records show that the building was converted to a public house in about 1840 and had a Landlady called Mrs Webb.

The Inn has now been in the Sproson family for over 55 years, having been bought by Herbert (Bert) Sproson (The Gaffer) and run by him and his children until 2003 when his grandaughter and her husband (Lara & Phil) took over.
Much of the original character of the building remains with exposed beams, small cosy rooms. Lara and Phil have been restoring the building, exposing some of the stone walls and beams, opening up old fireplaces, and creating a space of traditional decor with a contemporary twist. (Don’t worry the ballroom mirror remains and the Red Stag still has pride of place in the dining room).
Location
This is a great location for walking or cycling the Stiperstones ridge, the Long Mynd and surrounding countryside, or for just chilling out in beautiful surroundings with a good book.
The Stiperstones area is best known for great walks, stunning scenery and the wild growing whinberry which covers the slopes of the hills surrounding the Inn. If you don’t have time to pick your own then stop in to try our world famous home-made Whinberry Crumble, and pick up a jar of our home-made Stiperstones Whinberry Jam or even a bottle of our home infused Whinberry Gin.
