Reviews in Shrewsbury

We had a lovely evening and Sunday roast at the Bull! I'm pleased I picked here, I was a lit worried after I had read so many mixed reviews and did in fact consider finding somewhere else last minute but I'm so glad I didn't. We were a party of four adults and two children and all of us enjoyed ourselves and cleared our plates. The service was great, I didn't catch the waitresses name but she was very friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious, hot, very tasty and good sized portions. The pub over all had a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. My only very minor criticism is that as we went later in the day (6pm on a Sunday) and they had run out of a couple of the menu options and also that even though it was a Sunday it would have been nice to have the option of the normal menu and not just the Sunday roasts. But that's only minor and didn't at all take away from our overall very enjoyable experience. We will be returning!

Food was good but menu was very limited and they were very short staffed . The manager said as soon as we went into the bar that he had only started 2 hours before and that there was only 2 chefs and 1 other member of staff waiting on the tables. The young man waiting on was very good and deserved a medal e felt quite sorry for him as there was also a70th bday party of approx 16 people . Very noisy .

Sadly this place has gone downhill since we last visited. We went on a Monday night at 7pm I have food intolerances and was thrilled when I arrived to find the waitress/manager had already gone through the menu and removed what I couldn’t eat. However, on closer inspection, there were still allergens present in the dish descriptions, with one supposedly ‘safe’ dish entirely based around an allergen When I ordered my burger, there was no mention of coleslaw on the menu. As I have a brassica and root veg intolerance, AND I had informed the pub in advance of these, I was really disappointed to find my plate had a big lump of coleslaw on it. The burger patty is no longer the nice thick patty but 2 thin bought-in patties. It also took an hour for our meals to be brought out when we were the only table left in the place. While we would loved to have ordered puddings (the chocolate tart and sorbet is my favourite here), we were only asked about ordering a desert at 20:45. The waitress was very attentive when we turned up, but as soon as our mains had been served, we were completely forgotten about. The waitress did apologise but by this point we were done It’s an absolute shame as I loved the Tilly. The food an atmosphere used to be amazing. I just feel so sad that it’s no longer a safe place for me to eat so won’t be returning

….booked a table of 12 as a birthday celebration….could nt fault it ..service and food was brilliant !! …we ll be back !

Food was lovely, waitress was lovely. Would recommend

Meal was not to the standard of the last Inn Newport which we have regularly visited. Mash potato from a packet.

Had a great night with family & food was lovely, mixed grill was cooked well and very tasty. Ran out of chips which was surprising but had fries instead. 8

Great find. Excellent food, lovely friendly staff, nice environment and most of all - very dog friendly. We'll certainly be back.

Enjoyed but food wasn’t as warm as it could have been

Service was excellent, food not up to the standard it has been on previous visits. Food took a lot longer than usual, the waiter did keep checking if we needed drinks etc and gave us complimentary nuts while we waited. Not sure on what was happening yesterday but it was not at its usual standard? and as a result may not be returning.

Excellent food and very good staff ..The Restaurant was clean and today and a good feel about it..Food was a very good standard and very reasonably Priced.. Definitely would recommend.

We visited the Tilley Raven on Tuesday (a party of four). It was an early booking, 6.30, and as expected it was very quiet. However, lovely surroundings, excellent food, drinks and service. We will certainly be visiting again as it is not far from where we live. Thanks Millie!

A mixed bag some good things some not so good. To begin with they had lost our booking and given our table to someone else, but in fairness to the manager she quickly sorted that. The table next to us had 2 large dogs who were barking constantly, not a fan of allowing dogs into restaurants but definitely not on Mothers day. The drinks service was ok, although was charged £8.60 for a G+T, should have queried it don't like the practise of automatically charging for doubles when it isnt requested. The sunday roasts were decent , (no crackling with my pork though), excellent portions, although weren't overly hot and think gravy should be served separately. I like lots my mother doesnt like much and both were swimming in it. That was fine for me not her. Also a 40 minute wait for food from time we ordered is too long when we were all having Sunday roasts. The whole thing seemed very chaotic, I dont think the staff were particularly efficient although i would exclude the manager/landlady from that, shes very good. Would I go back ? yes possibly because the place has potential but they need to improve certain things that are easy to improve.

Fantastic service yet again, food was beautiful, our party of 8 had different food choices and all were great, Atmosphere was lovely Staff all very friendly 1000% recommended

Went for the Saturday Fish Night and had a really lovely meal, served in a friendly and professional manner and in welcoming surroundings. Great quality and good value, with some interesting dishes on offer both on the specials and everyday menu. We will be going back for sure. It is a pity though that it's so quiet - only 4 tables taken on a Saturday night when we were there - they deserve much more. Hopefully they can regain their deserved reputation and get more support from the village and nearby residents. We will certainly be spreading the word!

Probably the best Sunday Roast we have ever had. We were served a very generous portion of roast pork and an array of vegetables that were so tasty we could have happily been served just those with the delicious gravy. But the absolute cherry on the cake was the pork crackling. The staff were friendly and welcoming and service was quick. They accommodated our children by providing colouring pages & crayons and even displayed the children’s art on the wall.

We have had two meals at the Bulls Head and both have been great with friendly & prompt service.

Lovely meal and lovely service. The young girl serving was very polite and welcoming. Will 100% be back again soon .
