Platform Alehouse

No Longer In Business

Second visit on 24th March 2017 and I thought I’d add it to the database: WingmanWillis beat me to it. Basic bar room with no frills, six hand-pulls dominate the small bar with ever changing beers and a cider. Toilets are down some dodgy stairs, proper throwback toilets too. Hope the locals use the place, a few in on both my visits, so it should survive. Dog friendly too.

Visited on 5th August 2016. Based in the station building on the Shrewsbury bound platform at Albrighton station this is a new micropub and another addition to a decent line for a pub crawl. It has a single room with plenty of seating and a bar, 6 handpulls on, 5 with beer and 1 cider from Hurst View, beer was well kept and from local breweries, Newbridge and Longden (Shropshire Brewer). Also had bottles to take away of Logden beers plus other ciders in boxes. Prices were good, CAMRA discount available, staff friendly, it is family run and seems to be a hit with the locals as it was pretty busy on the Friday evening we visited. A really good micropub focussing on good local beer. I’ll definitely revisit as it is easy to get to and the beers were good.
