  “This is the hidden gem of Shrewsbury. If you’re in the area you have to visit this place. The staff are exceptionally friendly and the food is excellent. Special mention to Lesley who always makes me feel welcome but I must pay great compliments to Ben, he is fantastic, friendly, warm and very attentive! Nothing was too much trouble for him and he went out of his way to ensure my visit was a memorable one. You have a superstar on your hands.”

  “Sunday lunch was excellent, first time out with new puppy and was made very welcome. We both had the roast lunch and happy with the quality, weather was kind and we sat on the terrace overlooking the river. We will definitely be going back.”

  “The food was ok but nothing to shout about, I expected something better. Quite pricey. Should be better quality for the price. The girl who served us was lovely, genuinely friendly, her service was impeccable. However the service was very slow, we were waiting sometime for our 1st drinks and then each course in-between. The location is lovely, right by the river, beautiful.”

  “We booked at table of two at 7pm outside and the setting is beautiful which is such a shame we were let down by food and service. We were seated than our server had rushed off before we can ask anything I understand we can be busy but it weren’t busy at all. We had to wait about 10 minutes before anyone came for our drinks order than she also took our starters. We had the squid and chicken which were beautiful. After we had finished our starters they were on our table for about 15 minutes before anyone cleared it and they didn’t until they brought our mains out. It’s such a shame because the food itself was lovely yet so cold!! Ordered the mussels and the lamb roast. The mussels were nice and hot but the fries were cold so I asked if they could be reheated she put them on the table and walked off before I could even say how cold my meal was. There was no checking up on us left to our selves. I cut into the stuffing balls which was cold in the middle the only thing hot was the gravy. It seemed to be like the food had been done since our starters then they have just poured the hot gravy over it . It was such a shame because the flavour and presentation was so lovely.”

  “We have been here twice now and feel management does not put enough staff on or they are undertrained. We endlessly had to wave staff down to order more drinks, cutlery had to be asked for on every course, our mains were dropped at our table with no ask of a new drink even though our glasses were empty. Empty glasses were not collected during the service at all and just collected at the end of the table. Major positive, the food is amazing and delicious but sadly the service has clouded this. We experienced similar on our first visit and thought it would be a one off so this time has put us off returning again”

A special thank you to Manager Ben, who was incredibly friendly, professional, and made us feel so welcome from start to finish. His excellent customer service really made our visit stand out. We’ll definitely be coming back!”

  “We had a fantastic Sunday lunch at this lovely restaurant. The setting is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views over the river that made for a really relaxing afternoon. The food was exceptional – perfectly cooked, full of flavour, and generous portions. The roast dinner was lovely, and the desserts were just as impressive. The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing, creating a welcoming atmosphere from start to finish. It’s the perfect place for a leisurely Sunday lunch, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!”

  “I visited Riverside on Saturday evening for a meal with family. The location is fantastic, with views of the river and beautiful countryside. Lovely welcoming pub with cosy alcoves and fabulous outdoor dining with lovely gardens too. We were in the conservatory which has air conditioning and amazing views. They were busy so the food took a little while but was very good too. Excellent service from the staff, however. Great atmosphere! I will definitely be back and would recommend!”

  “Location is beautiful with river views and the food is delicious. Service sadly let our experience down as we were a large party and we pre ordered our food selection. Nobody seemed to be aware of that so we waited a very long time for the mains. The sweets we had the same long wait and the waiting staff, although very pleasant just needed to be more aware of what was happening at the tables. We would have liked coffees but went going to wait for them so after eventually getting someone’s attention so we could pay we left. Good meal and lovely place but waiting staff need more training and food needs to come out quicker.”

  “Fantastic food but poor service, went for early Sunday lunch and not overly busy. Was seated promptly but that’s when the service ended. Had to wait excessive time to be asked for drinks, then for main and had to ask ourselves after 20 minutes for desert menu. After desert waited another 15 minutes to see if we wanted anything and when that didn’t happen had to get up ourselves and ask for the bill all the time watching waitress serve other tables within minutes of sitting at the table. Not once did we have the same person give us menus or take orders or the bill. Maybe an unlucky table but seemed to be constantly overlooked.”
