Good News: A planning application has been submitted to Shropshire Council with a view to extending and refurbishing The Danery in Quatford.

The pub closed in January 2026 and its future looked bleak. However, it was acquired by the Meadows family on 12 October and they plan to reopen in September 2027 as a family run pub and café focused on breakfast and lunch, with evening opening likely to follow. Alongside it they will be adding a soft play and function space, and three holiday lets in the outbuildings to the rear.

The planning application is open for public consultation until 9 November and available to view on Shropshire Council’s planning portal using reference number: 26/03851/FUL.
