The Jewellers Arms

I will admit I was slightly disappointed by this pub, don't get me wrong it is a traditional back street boozer, and I'm sure it is popular with the tradesman and workers from the Jewellery Quarter, but it could be so much better. Maybe it was because we (myself, Shelley, Craig and Maria) had gone there after visiting the fabulous Lord Clifden so we had been spoilt or maybe it was due to the fact that, despite me remembering differently in previous visits, there was no real ale on but, whatever it was, it was a bad choice of mine and the only poor pub that we did during our Jewellery Quarter pub crawl.

It is very much a blokes pub and our ladies were the only females in the place with the exception of the barmaids. I ordered a pint of Worthington's smooth flow which did a job but the beer choice in the Jewellers definitely lacked sparkle !!

Craig had suggested food in the previous pub but and I'd dissuaded him, it was another mistake on my part, to say the food selection in The Jewellers Arms is limited is an understatement of monumental proportions, the menu consisted of one dish, cottage pie !! If you are of the vegetarian persuasion then I think you might consider dining elsewhere !!

Like the ale I'm sure that this pub used to have a good reputation for food so I have subsequently checked on line though I'm not sure that the reviews back up my theory. The volunteer driver of the Bridgnorth community bus was full of praise in a review that was headed up 'Found somewhere good to have lunch'. Though be warned the review was 18 months old, he spelt cuppa c-u-p-p-e-r, and to top it all, guess what he ate?....Yep a pie of the cottage variety !!

We played it safe, a packet of plain and a packet of salt 'n' vinegar...

Even the playing of Sad But True by Metallica on the pub's jukebox just before we left didn't save the day.

Our visit to the Jewellers Arms was not a good one, sad but true !!
