The Seven Stars at Beckbury, Shropshire A thriving village public house and restaurant with real bar and TV, real lounge and real ale (Banks&#039;s Mild, Enville, Black Sheep and Timothy Taylor Landlord when I visited). Recommended.

Update: Closed 31 March 2019. Reopened as the far less &quot;traditional&quot; Smokey Cow (October 2019) with interesting menu. More a restaurant with bar than a village pub. — The Seven Stars at Beckbury, Shropshire Credit: Roger Kidd

The Seven Stars at Beckbury, Shropshire A thriving village public house and restaurant with real bar and TV, real lounge and real ale (Banks&#039;s Mild, Enville, Black Sheep and Timothy Taylor Landlord when I visited). Friendly staff too. Not the cheapest meals, but I think this is a case of &quot;quality counts&quot; and &quot;you get what you pay for&quot;. Well recommended.
