KELPIE - Wilymoor pub

[haggis]

We haven't been to the Wilymoor pub for several years and that is about to change! 

Had quite a long day for us what with lift bridges where we  seemed to draw the short straw. The plan had been to stop at the top of Grindlay Brook tonight but I found myself asking the lockie if we would follow the boat in top lock down. Seven locks further on we were at Willy moor and as there were some spots of rain we moored

Was friendly the last couple of times we were there, with decent pub grub and beer. Not many customers on midweek evenings when we were there, but landlady said it could get packed on Friday/Saturday so if you want to eat there I'd check ahead... 😉

No problem. Already booked.

It was as good as I remember !

 

We had our first rain of the holiday today. After we moored we had quite heavy rain for an hour or so.

Several decent beers every time we were there, but I don't recall exactly what. Possibly due to the amount consumed... 😉

Always a couple of good choices even in the winter when it is quieter, generally 5 or so in the summer. Stonehouse brewery in nearby Oswestry and Salopian in nearby Shrewsbury feature regularly as do some stalwarts from Greene King.
