  “Looking at previous reviews of this place from 6 months ago (with photos), the breakfast is significantly smaller than it was then. My son had a full English today and the portions were tiny. It had one sausage, one piece of small burnt bacon and the scrambled egg was the equivalent of one egg! People were complaining six months ago about portion sizes and that's when there were 2 of everything so I wouldn't go here if you are hungry and for £15 its very expensive (it also says its £12.50 on their current menu online and £15 for doubling up on the meat, but we paid £15 for one of each item. I get that restaurants have got it tough lately but to half your portions sizes and put your prices up is just too much to expect people to pay for. I had the special that was on the menu which was Taco's they were nice, but again two tacos for £15 is crazy expensive. The owners never seem to address any reviews here which doesn't give a good impression of them, surely you should be paying attention to what your customers have to say.”

  “We have visited no 4 Butcher Row many times, but after today I’m not sure I’ll return. The food was lovely & prompt but the service was very lack lustre. There was no eye contact, no conversation, no thanks, all in all pretty dreadful. The cutlery & food was slapped down on the table.No engagement with the customer whatsoever. The food was very tasty however. My friend asked for the bill whilst I was visiting the toilet. The waitress hovered expecting payment before I returned. My friend said we needed to look at the bill. The waitress was straight back before we had time to digest it. She then loudly yawned. It’s a good job a service charge was not mandatory because we wouldn’t have paid. Such a shame. We’ve previously had lovely service but such a bad attitude today! In addition I did notice a gentleman ( who was very pleasant) rubbing his nose as he had the cutlery in his hand.”

  “I’ve been to this place a good few times over the years and this visit was quite disappointing. Came here for brunch (since they’re renowned for it) and ordered a veggie full English. The platter came with one of the poached eggs already bursted, up to 4 leaves of spinach when it should’ve been a main feature from the description on the menu, 2x dry halloumi sticks (again, supposedly a main feature), and an unevenly browned toast that injured the inside of my mouth when I attempted to eat it. Service was quite slow on top of that as well despite it not being too busy. The atmosphere is fine and hasn’t changed much from when I knew it in the past, but the food seems to have declined in quality and standard and it no longer justifies the price (or the hype) nowadays.”

  “Number Four, Butchers Row in Shrewsbury offers delicious breakfasts, brunch and lunch. Great food served by a friendly and efficient team. I had a croissant with jam and butter to start which was simply scummy. To follow, poached eggs, fresh avocado on sourdough toast, again delicious. Prices are very reasonable for the centre and it is now another one of my go to favourites.”

  “There's a Warm atmosphere in number 4 butcher row. Compliments to the staff aswell for giving such detailed customer service in such a way that makes people want to come back to the restaurant. It has a calm relaxing scenery added in with music that plays thats not too loud that you can't hear each other and not to quiet to not enjoy the music itself. The staff give fluid yet straight forward answers to the queries you may have about the menu or the drinks. But I will be back again because of all that and to maybe try some food whilst I'm at it since I wasn't able to because of the time.”

  “I am so pleased someone recommended I come to Number Four while visiting Shrewsbury. I cannot fault it! The restaurant itself is in the heart of historic Shrewsbury. On entering, you know you're in for a treat. I chose to wander right up to the top floor of the restaurant, with views of the skilled chefs busy in their kitchen. I was fortunate to meet the owner (Caroline), who told me about their 16 year old journey with the restaurant. Seeing her interact with her staff and customers alike was a joy - respectful, relaxed, attentive. I didn't know if some customers were old friends or met for the first time. Everyone is welcome here. I always choose ham, egg and chips when I come to a new restaurant. Using simple ingredients to create a delicious meal is a great way to know the quality of the place, and Number Four surpassed expectations. I am not a chef, and can never know how someone can fry an egg in a way that elevates it, but this was achieved by the chefs! I ordered a mixed salad and glass of Pinot Grigio to accompany it, and ended the meal very pleased with my choices! The menu has a brunch-like feel to it, with something for everyone (and I noticed that gluten-free diets are accommodated where possible). There is an a option to hire a space for private parties, which looked amazing. Very reasonable prices, lots of natural light, skilled and dynamic staff, quality ingredients cooked to perfection, and a space that has rightly attracted a vibrant, diverse customer base. By the time I left, there was barely a free table left in the place. More than just a restaurant - this is a great place to spend time, whether alone, in a large group, or anything in between. I will definitely be back whenever in Shrewsbury.”

  “Fantastic brekkie/brunch spot! We visited late morning on a Thursday, not a busy time but still a lovely, cosy atmosphere. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Had eggs Florentine and sausage & eggs on toast - delicious! Great quality, fresh ingredients! They also do a tasty chai latte. Highly recommend this place!”

  “My husband and I were in Shrewsbury for the weekend and we found this place purely by accident and what a hidden gem it is! Our waiter was called John and he really was fantastic! Nothing was to much for him. The food was absolutely brilliant and it had such a great atmosphere. If you are ever in Shrewsbury please look this place up as you will not be disappointed. I cannot recommend this place enough!!!! 10/10”

  “What an excellent restaurant! Came for an evening meal with friends and we were blown away by the quality of the food. The service and atmosphere was also excellent and we found the portions to be just right and the pricing fair. I would highly recommend Number Four and if we’re back in the area we’d definitely come back to try more on the menu.”

  “Just amazing place. I was just reading about the reviews about the place but didn't expect what it was when we went in. The entrance is small but place was big inside and a whole lot of seats. I love the decor and feel inside, just loved eating and hanging around inside. They have a kid's menu and they loved the food they ordered. We took the steak promo and was surprised that the tomahawk tasted that well, it was just tender and tasty and well made. Loved the chips that came with it, crunchy and tasty. My daughter had the fudge and it was really good. Service was good and quick, they were really friendly. Would be going back for sure”
