This pub was originally Market Drayton’s first purpose-built cinema. The Hippodrome opened its doors to the public in 1927 and closed in 1966. After spells as a bingo hall and supermarket it now bares its original name and still retains some of the unique features when it opened by Wetherspoon’s in 2007. Serving the usual fayre what makes this pub different is that it actively supports locally based breweries within the 20 mile radius and are regularly served at the bar.
