Dickin Arms
About
The Dickin Arms, nestled in the picturesque village of Loppington in North Shropshire, is a living testament to 17th‑century pub heritage. Owned by the Taylor family since 2016, the historic public house has been lovingly restored into a cosy, family‑run destination that welcomes both locals and visitors. From the crackling log burner in the winter to the open terrace in summer, the venue delivers comfort and charm that make guests feel right at home. The restaurant boasts a menu that celebrates seasonal produce sourced from North Shropshire farms, dairies and breweries. Lively, hearty pub classics are reinvented with modern twists, complemented by a diverse range of vegetarian, vegan and gluten‑free options. The duo of Executive Chef Paul Stinson and owner‑chef Nick Taylor ensure each plate is a celebration of fresh, local ingredients. Beyond the food, The Dickin Arms offers a welcoming, pet‑friendly environment and private dining rooms for intimate gatherings. Whether you’re a wanderer looking for a quiet afternoon meal after a walk on Silkin’s Row or a couple seeking a romantic dinner, this historic pub remains an essential stop in rural Shropshire.
