Passing visitor from the canal. Our canal guide book described the pub as a little gem, and what a gem it is. Great crowd of locals, lovely local beer and a few tunes thrown into the mix. If you’re in the area worth stopping by! Dog friendly!!
Even though for a short time, made to feel welcome. Relaxed and friendly people. Thanks to Harvey and crew.
Fantastic evening with the staff, even joined in their karaoke.
The best atmosphere ever,
Great value, great beer, great hospitality.
Would definitely visit again 😊
Great local pub, good beer at good prices. Very friendly landlord and staff.
Came in here at last and Harvey the landlord immediately welcomed me and made me feel at home. Real proper pub, lovely atmosphere and the locals were great too.
Proper cask ale on tap and had to have a couple of pints as you do...a pint here is such good value as are the rest of the drinks. It certainly stands out in price value compared to the other drinking establishments in Market Drayton.
Definitely recommend this pub as it's a real gem and Harvey makes it even greater, what a character and landlord...well done you "sir"...!! Thanks for such a great welcome and experience 👍
A warm welcome brilliant staff great bar

A welcoming atmosphere and some really well kept real ales are waiting for visitors here. The music was worth noting for reflecting great taste and being played at a sensible level to enjoy without drowning conversation. Will be going back.
So I've been back twice now and last night had a pint of the NPA and APA from the nearby Newport Brewery. Both were excellent, but the NPA is the show stealer here. There was a Black IPA on sale when we arrived, but this was taken off before I had a chance to try it. The Boss, Harvey, explained that the beer had been tapped for some time and he was worried that it was close to expiry, but he would let me have a drop to try. I returned from a visit outside for a small cigar to find an almost full pint of black beer at the table where our wives were sat. It was in good condition and was a credit to the landlord that he'd taken it off to avoid any potential dissatisfaction, but I enjoyed it very much. Later in the evening Harvey joined us at our table as the customer numbers had dropped, so we had a good chinwag about this area which is still new to us but was home to him.
In all, it was another lovely visit to a 'proper' pub. By that I mean it's not a restaurant, it's a drinkers' pub where the people are varied and eclectic, the noise is loud but good humoured and customers are treated with value.
Should you find yourself in MD with a bit of a thirst, I'd recommend it above all of the others.
Me and my mom had the most lovely experience at this pub! The barkeep was such a pleasant gentleman I think visiting would be worth it for his company alone. 10/10.
A great place to meet friends and enjoy a drink or two
Very friendly local.Will call in again when passing

Went for breakfast at 11am. Good home cooked food, piping hot, delicious. Our table ordered the traditional full English and the meat free. All came to the table really quickly and staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Can't wait to go back to taste the extensive numbers of draught beer.
Great atmosphere, landlord couldn't do enough to make us feel more welcome. Definately return again
There were 3 of us that went, wanting to sit in a beer garden where there weren't lots of football fans...this was perfect, we wanted a quiet coffee and got exactly that. We were shown outside (they even brought a chair out for my friend's mum as it waa easier for her to sit down, we ordered 3 coffees then got told they were free! they do not charge for hot drinks! the mugs they used were big mugs too. They were super friendly and relaxed, I even asked them to move to my area lol. We will definitely be visiting there again!
Bar man great, drinks good nice pub
Great pub, reasonable prices and really friendly crowd. Thankyou for making us so welcome.
Great pint with a lovely seating area out the back. Very friendly chatty landlord, will definitely return. Oh yeah, the Cranston pickle flavoured cheddar were good too! Dog friendly too
Friendly atmosphere and good beers
Visited for a meeting on Tuesday 11 September 2018. I parked in the nearby Asda car park as the Salopian Star does not have a car park. The way in was up a set of steps and I don't know if there is disabled access at the rear of the building.
The main room is in an L shape with the bar on the left as you enter and a larger space running across the width of the Salopian Star behind the bar. The bar has three real ale handpulls serving pale / bitter real ales at a brilliant price. Friendly and welcoming staff make it a traditional basic pub with a pleasant atmosphere.
