After many years immersed in every corner of the wine industry, Robin launched a peaceful natural wine revolution with the opening of Iron & Rose in 2016. What began as a small shop in Shrewsbury’s Market Hall quickly became a go-to destination for those seeking authentic, sustainably made wines.
In 2019, GlouGlou was born—an inviting space on Castle Gates where guests can enjoy Iron & Rose favourites, discover new wines, and savour locally sourced food in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
By 2021, the family grew with the arrival of PetitGlou—a cosy spot next door to Iron & Rose, ideal for casual lunches, intimate wine tastings, live jazz nights, and a variety of special events celebrating food, drink, and community.
As part of their ongoing mission to share the joy of natural wine, Robin also hosts wine tastings aboard the Sabrina Boat, paired with a sharing board of local meats and cheeses—offering a memorable way to explore Shropshire’s best flavours while enjoying the sights of the River Severn.
