Twitter users who are fans of Canal Boat Holidays in Shropshire have rated The Jolly Frog in Leintwaradine as their favourite place to eat in the county.

The Shropshire Star describes the establishment as a well-kept secret, highlighting key dishes including its locally-sourced game and fresh fish as worthy of special mentions.

Other key pubs people voted for include The Golden Cross, Casa Ruiz, The Walls and the Parkway, with Restaurant Severn, The Crown and Mad Jacks also rating highly.

Number Eight Books was held to be the best shop, while Fareground was held to be the county's best artisan.

According to the newspaper, country sports fans on Canal Boat Holidays in Shropshire were recently out in force for the Ludlow Hunt, an annual tradition which remains popular despite the hunting ban.
