Bandon Arms in Shropshire

Review: We had an absolutely fantastic evening! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, setting the tone for a perfect night. The food was anmazing and service was quick. A special shoutout to the incredible staff who made the experience truly exceptional. Natalie, Kim, Sam and Lewis were all attentive and friendly, ensuring we felt looked after throughout the night.

Popped in for a quick bite of lunch, food was nice and the service very pleasant Will be going again. Nice choice and well cooked food, chorizo mac and cheese was lovely

Really lovely family pub with great staff and a comfortable atmosphere. Good choice of food and fantastic Sunday roasts with all the trimmings! We go every week and would definitely recommend 👍

Excellent customer service...the waiters were friendly and helpful. The food was hot and delicious....we'll be going back for sure!

Fast service & tasty food. We hadn’t booked they were most accommodating and we had a lovely table at lunch time in the bar area. Greeted and seated in minutes. Bar service was quick and food arrived promptly.

Excellent service, food came out all together. No waiting, no messing of orders. Very polite and professional. Samuel and Lewis were amazing. Thank you.

We were a large group of 12, pre ordered food, it came out very fast, all orders we correct and delicious, our servers Lewis and Sam gave such great service 10 out of 10!

Lovely place and can’t beat the food/service. Pre ordered for a table of 12, arrived and food swiftly came out and wow - delicious. Everyone’s order was amazing. Can’t fault the service, big shout out to Lewis and Samuel. Thank you so much, would definitely return!

Always good food, drink, service and atmosphere, easy to park. Not to loud so you can carry a good conversation with friends and family

Lovely welcome, attentive and professional staff, consistently high standard of food (our 3rd visit in 2 weeks) and fantastic value for money. See you next week…

Had the lunchtime steak it was cooked to perfection. Staff were very warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone who asks

The food was amazing best service was great in there bar men was so polite best place you could go I do recommend a visit you wouldn't be let down

Passed this pub many times and decided to eat here with family as halfway between our locations. Lots of parking and friendly greeting on arrival. In fact the stand out thing for me is how genuinely friendly and attentive all the staff were. I don’t get names but the lady and gentleman who served us food and drinks could not have been any nicer! I’m a vegetarian but plenty of options available and I had arancini (delicious) and a side of fries as wasn’t that hungry. The rest of my family really enjoyed their food too. There are obviously lots of locals visiting again and again as the staff seemed to know them which is a good sign of patrons returning to a popular pub. I hope Marstons recognise the value of the staff they have here, they work extremely hard and are an absolute credit to your company. One constructive comment on the pub itself would be a little bit of a facelift and update to the interior decor would be good.

We entered the Bandon Arms and waited to be seated. We were told we could only sit in a certain area as we had a dog with us. My Wife then went into detail you are not allowed to do that as it’s a guide Dog for the blind. The staff didn’t get it. Didn’t understand the law. A guide Dog is protected by law in many aspects of its work. A guide dog can go anywhere with one exception (hospital intensive care unit). You are not permitted by law to discriminate in any way. Telling a guide dog user, they can only sit in a certain location due to the assistance dog is discrimination. This is illegal. You would have expected in 2024, restaurant staff would be 100% up to speed with the law, they obviously are not. We left the venue and called the acting manager. Unfortunately, she was also not aware of the law. We need to take up our complaint with head office. As a blind lady, my wife is constantly reminded of her sight loss. It does upset her so much.

Visited The Brandon Arms and had an outstanding experience. The service was top-notch from Kim and Sam, friendly and attentive staff who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was excellent—highlights included the steak 'n' ale pie and mixed grill. The cozy atmosphere added to the charm, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing with family and friends. Highly recommended!

I organised a meal at the Bandon Arms for a group of 23 friends, including vegans, vegetarians and people with other allergy / dietary requirements, on a weekend away in Shropshire. The Bandon Arms were happy to accommodate our large group, and gave us the choice of dining in the restaurant or bar area. We opted for the bar area as we wanted a more casual meal. The menu has plenty of options for all dietary requirements, and everyone in our group was able to find something they liked. Some of the dishes were better than others, but the general consensus was that the food was good and most cleared their plates. The staff were friendly and regularly checked on us to see if we needed more drinks. Due to the size of our group, we pre-ordered our food and asked if we could set up individual tabs to avoid having to split the bill at the end. The Bandon Arms happily accommodated this which made paying at the end very easy. Our only slight criticism is that service was quite slow even though we had pre-ordered. This wasn't an issue for us though as we were happy to have a relaxed evening and drinks between courses. Overall, we were very pleased and would happily recommend the Bandon Arms for larger groups.

I was served the worst caesar salad I have ever eaten. It consisted of wilted lettuce, chewy flavourless chicken (which tasted like it has been re- heated) and the smallest serving of dressing. The end result was horrible. I noted that the salad was missing the ‘garlic croutons and crispy bacon’, the kitchen then sent over a few overcooked croutons and pale, limb bacon (which I could not eat). This cost £16. The ‘truffle’ mac and cheese… was just pasta in a cheap cheese sauce with bits of meat thrown in. It looked worse than a student pasta made by a drunk fresher. For dessert I had the cherry and apple pie. The pie did not contain fresh cherries, instead the filling was made of tinned apples and cherry jelly??? The crumble was tasteless and appeared to be undercooked. Together, it tasted like baby food. The price for the food is high. However, every dish was tasteless. I would never return for food. As to how the pub has determined the pricing is unclear. Perhaps they should consider hiring a new chef…

Out of all the places I have visited this is the one for me...ive written a review before as I'm here most days the staff and managers ie Brian and Dani...what can I say about the staff...your treated like you've walked into their home...they have never been rude or disrespectful towards anyone that has walked through their door...ive read certain reviews all positive apart from one ...and you will always have the one that nothing is good enough...the reputation of the bandon arms is supported by its locals and thats proof in itself...it is a hidden gem and credit to the chefs that deliver amazing food... Thank you all Beena xxx

Table service by friendly staff. Sausage and mash with green beans and onion gravy, topped with streaky bacon, was really tasty. Good portion size and served nice and hot. A reasonable price too. Would definitely recommend

The staff were very friendly and the food was good with the set menu very reasonably priced. Nice and warm in there also. Would recommend.

After an afternoon around Bridgnorth, my son and I called in for an early dinner and were seated and served promptly and politely. The food was hot and tasty with good portion sizes. The steak and ale pie was excellent. Will be returning with the rest of the family soon.

Worst meal and service we have ever had who puts Yorkshire pudding on turkey dinner and fish uncooked

Great meal for a Christmas celebration with family. Service was attentive and friendly and the food was generous and tasty. Really pleased that the Christmas crackers were also plastic free, a nice consideration.

Met with family for lunch and we were thoroughly looked after from start to finish by the attentive staff. Thank you very much to these staff. Great atmosphere and lovely surroundings. We will definitely be visiting again in the near future.

Great pub food fantastic also today live singer Simply Vintage By Lisa brilliant singer great time and free entertainment

Lovely food and delicious cocktails! Reasonably priced & beautiful inside, lovely staff too. Would come again

We visited on a Wednesday evening, impromptu visit, didn’t book (don’t know if you can). Just moved to the area and wanted to try the local pubs. We had ere greeted by Sam upon entering who took us to a table (window table). The restaurant was quiet for the time of visiting (around 7:30pm) We ordered off the specials menu, pork and chicken duo’s - both presented fantastically well, tasted just as good. We stayed for dessert with Sam asking the chef for one from the lunch menu and not the evening to satisfy my partners request, loved the effort - nice job Sam. Overall, drinks were great, food was well priced and fantastic. Sam’s a credit to the pub, the chefs clearly are skilled. Pub looks bigger than the outside suggests and the ambiance was fantastic too Car park at rear of the pub for many cars.

Warm and welcoming staff from the start. Kim looked after us all night, was very attentive and friendly. Lovely food, quick service. All cooked well and enjoyable.

I can highly recommend Bandon Arms for pleasant surroundings,friendly and helpful staff great food at a great price

Food was amazing staff very friendly highly recommend will definitely vist again very clean drinks was lovely very fast service

Fantastic venue and fantastic food. Thank you! A particular shout out for the lovely Kim who couldn’t do enough for us. Despite the fact there were lots of us and constant requests, she served us politely with a big smile on her face. Thanks Kim!

Just returned from an excellent meal at the Bandon. Friendly efficient staff , a varied menu ( mainly british ) and beautifully cooked. I would recommend this restaurant / pub to anyone looking for a good value meal in Bridgnorth. There is a big car park and you can book online. Look out for offers and special deals. A great night out in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. My thanks to the staff.

We visited the Bandon arms on a SevernValley Railway trip to Bridgnorth. The welcome we received, the food and drink was absolutely first class. Our server was friendly, helpful and made our visit a real pleasure. Would definitely recommend and return.

Not enough staff on came straight to the bar and waited 16 minutes for a drink and the place wasn't even. Busy

Amazing friends pub quiz, friendly staff, great atmosphere and drinks with lots to choose from. Will definitely return. Great location also.

We came for a quiz, it was good! Good food too. We all had the burgers and they were delicious. I would recommend the venue, it's top notch

Cracking quiz. Had a good laugh. Divorced my fiance. He was rubbish made me click a couple wrong answers. To tell you I was furious is an understatement.

Here for the quiz night, 5 of us had a meal and it was a lovely meal, I had the Sirloin Steak. Would come back soon.

Sunday lunch was outstanding I had thr trio of meat and my husband had the beef absolutely perfectly cooked, staff were amazing an friendly

What a beautifully chilled place to come for an evening out. Lewis was our server, super friendly and welcoming and very attentive. The food is incredible. I cannot recommend the chicken and chorizo skewer meal enough! Everything was seasoned perfectly, the flavour was incredible and...

Good value food. Attractive pub and helpful staff. Listed building but front window sills are badly rotten and need some serious repair. Marstons need to look after this fine building. The state of disrepair of the window sills at the front also presents a negative...

We had a great meal, cooked to perfection, with portion sizes being just right. Many thanks to Kim and the other staff.

This was a convenient place to meet up and we have been eating here since before Covid. We have recently started to eat here again. Prices have increased and portions seemed smaller. We ordered two two course meals and two rolls one chicken BLT and...

The lady who met us as we talked in, the fella who took our order, the fella who served our food- all very polite and chatty - well done all The food was good and the beer was good too

We hadn’t visited The Bandon Arms since before lockdown & after reading mixed reviews we decided to try it out again ourselves. Lewis & Natalie looked after us at lunchtime today, they were friendly & helpful and food portions were just right for a lunchtime...

Very good Cheese and Bacon Burger with no dripping fat or juices, great fries - very fresh and crisp. Good lasagne with tasty beef mince and tomato sauce, and firm pasta with a crispy cheese topping. Lovely clear pint of cool and fresh tasting Marstons...

Food Service extremely slow even though the pub was empty. Food was not as we expected. Very dry. Cod coujons were more batter than fish

We stopped here for a meal whilst out and about in the area. Our waiter was Brian and he was just fabulous. He was so attentive and chatty and took time to speak with us. The meals were all out of this world, 2 of...

Food is great, very generous portions. Always cooked right, the Sunday roast was again superb. Our go-to restaurant when we are on holiday locally. Staff are great too, always around if required and helpful but not invasive.

Staff were lovely and polite. Food was excellent and plenty of it. We enjoyed it very much. Will go again.

Amazing food as usual never had a bad meal yet service is always outstanding would highly recommend trying the chicken liver pate starter

Just had a very disappointing experience here. Not been for years as the last experience was bad. Understand its changed hands a few times and had a 30% off voucher so decided to give it a go. We all had steaks, they managed to get...

Absolutely awful quality food, worst quality pub food i’ve even eaten. Surf and Turf with a steak with more fat than meat 2 prawns….. not good enough. And the chips…. Not even cooked through absolutely disgusting. The manager should ashamed of themselves for letting food...

Overpriced and microwaved, quality is exactly the same as wetherspoons but far more expensive. Wait times are still 40 minutes as per other reviews. Steak was overcooked and had to be sent back, very small undercooked tomato and very small over cooked mushroom, brought out...

Personally I feel the food is vastly overpriced for what it is. £16.50 for a salad that mainly consisted of lettuce leaves. The burger meals were sparce with a handful of fries. Chips cost very little, you could at least fill up the plate There...

Lovely fresh food with great service. Kim was lovely and looked after us making the experience a pleasant one. Will return soon. Thank you for a great night.

Food was great staff very friendly and helpful. Very quick and prompt on orders friendly atmosphere too.

Whilst traveling from Chester back to our home in Tunbridge Wells, your pub from the road gave us the impression as a reasonable place to pull in and have a lunch break. What a mistake that was. We ordered one of your pie specials of...

Thank you to all the staff that made our family Christmas lunch special especially as I had accidentally booked the booking incorrectly but it was no trouble they soon found us somewhere to sit thank you so much again certainly won’t make that mistake again...

Last time we came was 2017 and we said we'd never come again and gave a 1 star, which didn't deserve it. But today decided to give it another go. Staff were very friendly and service was spot on. The meals and desserts were perfect....

This pub is usually empty whenever I go in which is odd as it's a pretty decent pub. Good beer and good pub grub.

We were a group of 8. We had pre-booked. We had made various choices from the menu beforehand and we were all delighted with our meals. The presentation of the food and service from the staff was excellent.

Went on a Saturday night for dinner. Was maybe a quarter full when we arrived at 830- but by 930 there was only us and one other couple in. Food was fine- absolutely nothing wrong with it. Service was good, although we were half way...

Seemed under staffed but Kim worked really hard and made sure we were looked after for the afternoon. So thanks very much

After spending time and money in Bridgnorth we set off back and came across the Brandon Arms where we pulled in to have lunch before driving home. Plenty of car parking and tables inside a very good menu both for food and drink and the...

Really recommend the cheese, leek and potato pie! Lovely to see Kim again, always a pleasure. Love the new menus, very sophisticated looking :)

Stopped going here after numerous rubbish meals and poor service. Went back this once for convenience this week and curious to see if any better and glad I did. Staff used to just hang around the bar chatting, ignoring people that were clearly needing service...

I must say before anything else that the front of house team are excellent, attentive and friendly.. a credit to this establishment. However the food should have been better than it was. A quiet evening with one big group and a few smaller tables. The...

The food was delicious and the atmosphere lovely . Kim our server was brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. This pub is totally different to years ago. We are looking forward to going again .

Returned here after six months and food still good, portions generous and service friendly. Dog welcome too, which helps when you can’t leave your pet in the holiday home unattended.

Fantastic Sunday Roast! Everything was delicious 😋 Great service from all staff - very friendly. We weren’t rushed at all. We all had ‘mixed’ which inc. pork and beef, with roast pots, carrot and parsnips, stuffing ball, side bowl of cauliflower cheese, cabbage, apple sauce,...
