  “The worst meal we ate in Shrewsbury. The roast dinner consisted of beef, roast potatoes, mash, one carrot, one piece of courgette and a burnt Yorkshire pudding.We booked for 7.30 I think all the edible food must have finished. Never again.”

  “Lovely sitting overlooking the river. The music was perfect, not too loud but perfect for a chilled lunch”

  “Was able to provide a last minute table during a beautifully sunny day when the pub was packed for a large party of 8. Food was excellent, especially the gluten free fish and chips. My mom hasn't had decent fish and chips since she went gluten free and this was the first place to impress her! Staff were lovely and attentive, bar staff were knowledgeable and welcoming. Great atmosphere”

  “Definitely glad we made a reservation, as there was a dedicated area under the canopy, perfect for the dog and aging grandparent! Also had nice views over the river, which were cooler too. We were greeted with enthusiasm and everything was very efficient and friendly. Drinks arrived quickly and the food was also in good time. Food was excellent and again, the servers were all very friendly and cheerful. Would highly recommend and look forward to returning.”

  “Where do I start? My partner reserved an inside table because you could not order a Sunday lunch outside, but when we arrived at 1830, we were told that the Sunday lunch had finished. We then settled for a pulled pork burger and I had a lamb tagine. I asked if the couscous could be changed for chips and was told that that was not possible as it was all in together. This turned out to be not true. The tagine was cold and was replaced with what seemed to be a microwaved meal which had three pieces of lamb, and the couscous was clumped, so I ordered the pulled pork burger. The waitress was so apologetic and she was really nice and informed the supervisor who on behalf of the manager (who we never saw) apologised and did not charge us for the meal and offered a return complimentary Sunday lunch. In the meantime, the table behind us was served Sunday lunch! This was unacceptable. At this point we decided that we would never to go there again as it cost us £65 from Nottingham to Shrewsbury. What a letdown, as I was 60 this year and this was a birthday treat. We should have gone to Wetherspoons! On a positive note, the waiting staff were brilliant.”

  “Webt for Father's Day. Gorgeous setting, great vibe, attentive service. My dad really enjoyed his steak, he said it was spot-on. I had the pulled pork hot dog. It was not good; sausages looked undercooked, the meal is just 2 sausages, some fries, a cheap bun, clumped together pulled pork, and relishes for £15.”

  “A huge thank you to the management who went above and beyond when we descended on him yesterday after our daughter’s wedding. Having not thought to book on a glorious day he quickly opened the garden room up - simply fabulous - made the whole weekend - exceptional service and lovely food 😀”

  “We were visiting Shrewsbury and looking for a restaurant with view of the river. This was highly rated. There was limited parking and we parked in the city center & walked across the Port Hill Suspension Bridge. The ambiance inside and outside the restaurant was lovely. The staff were very nice. We enjoyed the food and drinks.”
