Substantially refurbished in February 2026, the Shroppie Fly is an open plan canal side pub with three distinct areas inside and a substantial amount of outdoor seating. Families are welcome throughout, as are dogs, making the pub a handy stopping point for both walkers and boaters. The Saturday night live music, including folk sessions twice a month, is a popular feature and other periodic events are advertised on the pub's Facebook page. The varied food menu, available all day, features daily special offers such as "Fish and Chips Friday". Six handpumps serve 3 permanent beers and three guest ales sourced nationally. There are also keg ales and lagers plus alcohol free options. Perhaps the most notable feature is the bar. Supposedly built from a flyboat bow, it is actually part of a wooden Birmingham Canal Navigation 'Joey' or dayboat. The pub has an interesting history. It was originally opened as a pub in 1975 when converted from a Liverpool & Birmingham Canal Company warehouse dating from 1916. Despite many of the original 1975 fittings and memorabilia, including a rare wall size waterways map, being lost over the years the pub retains a sense of history. The crane outside came from the former railway goods yard on the Nantwich-Market Drayton-Wellington branch of the Great Western Railway (closed 1967).
