Our Story
The Brewery Inn has stood beside the River Severn for almost 200 years, serving as a familiar landmark within the Ironbridge Gorge and a cherished gathering place for generations. Steeped in history and woven into the fabric of Coalport, it has long been a place where stories are shared, friendships are made and memories are created.
When good friends George and Ben took ownership in November 2023, they knew they were taking on more than just a building; they were becoming custodians of a legacy. The inn holds a particularly special place in George’s heart, having grown up visiting The Brewery Inn as a child. He felt a deep responsibility to honour everything that the late Roger Hotchkiss had built, preserving the spirit of the inn while carefully guiding it into a new chapter.
Starting renovations in March 2024, George and Ben have completely stripped back and refurbished the entire property over an 18 month period, breathing new life into every room. What began as a vision has become a labour of love: a complete transformation that respects the history of the building while elevating it for the future.
Today, The Brewery Inn stands renewed; warm, welcoming and thoughtfully crafted for the generations still to come.
George and Ben are proud to have ushered in a new era for this landmark inn, and they can’t wait to share it with everyone who walks through the door.
