Beacon Hotel in Shropshire

Simply top pub food, good service. It was a busy evening and the pub had a good atmosphere. Burgers were good, rump steak was well cooked. Gammon was OK.

Popped in on the off chance for Saturday lunch and we were pleasantly surprised. The place was nearly full and for no particular reason than the place is popular. There are two menus, a normal portion size and a lite bite size, both very reasonably priced, and the puddings are large and filling. Well worth a visit every box ticked 😋👍

Called in for lunch. Very busy so we knew we would be in for a treat. Really reasonable prices. The Lite Bites lamb burger with chips etc was delicious and certainly filled me up. Hubby had the Chile con carne off the main menu. Best meal we've had in ages. Will come back for sure. With desserts and drinks came to £33- very impressed.

It is one of our favourite places to go for a meal. I had the light bite all day cooked breakfast, portion was just right, so enjoyable, presented well and cooked to a good standard, value for money, staff are warm and welcoming to guests, service was prompt, pub was cleaned and tidy as always, you can either eat in the restaurant or the bar, there is outside seating as well, reserving a table is recommended as this establishment gets so busy, you can book online or via the telephone. There have been some new meals added to their menu, well woth a visit.

Much improved beer garden. Pub grub is very good.

Staff were polite courteous and respectful. Good atmosphere.

My family visited The Beacon Hotel on Thursday 05 September 2024 for a drink and a 'rest' between medical appointments at the nearby RSH hospital . The Beacon has 6 real ales on offer but nothing dark was available . Our son was stressed about his appointment and became distressed . Luckily the place was well spaced out and hopefully the other customers were not disturbed by his outburst . Sorry if it interrupted your lunch x

Was very buzy and got a table no problem, food was good and staff were friendly, would definitely go back,

This was the best place I've eaten so far. Service was brilliant but not intrusive. Loads to choose from. I will come back when I'm back in Shrewsbury. 5🌟

Very enjoyable meal, with friends. Also recommend the Sunday Roast here.

We visited on a weekday at lunchtime, & could tell that it was going to be busy, from the packed car park. So we were very pleased with the prompt & friendly service we received. The menu was fantastic, making it very difficult to choose our dishes. There were 3 adults & a baby in our party & we each thoroughly enjoyed our meals but struggled to finish them as the portions were plentiful. We will definitely recommend & hope to return again soon.

Very nice meal, servers very polite and served speedily.

Great food and a wide variety of choice on the menu and with the beers. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Stopped off for lunch having passed many a time but never been before. So glad we did. Friendly, efficient staff and lovely food. Great choice of vegetarian options too. Will definitely be back!

Not been here for some time, changed a lot. All opened up and airy, looks good. Nice menu, catering for most dietary needs. My food was good, didn't take long to arrive. Service good and reasonable priced

Not cheap but good food and service

Superb meal at lunchtime. Lovely food, very generous portions & excellent service. Highly recommended 👌

Really enjoyed my dinner at the Beacon with my family. Great food, fast service with a smile from all the staff and to top everything, excellent value.

Good came on time and it was Delicious 😋. Staff is very friendly and the atmosphere was great. I recommend anyone who sees this to eat at the beacon because it will be worth it.

It’s really shame today was the England football I went to watch the football and was 8 people out side the door and Scuirty and the didn’t let us in even the didn’t let people watch sure the fence and that was nasty and all the bar was empty and Scuirty show his power says I will not let anyone in tel the game finish witch was really nasty way he says it is local pub and was not affected anyone if 8 more people in and second half was 10 people left I told him we should get in but he say I won’t let anyone in nasty way shame for local pub and the owner won’t have this pub again ever !!!

Great selection of beers and the BEST Chilli I've ever tasted... Unexpected and delicious

Very good food 👌 and kind staff

Many a happy beer in this great place

Comfortable pub with restaurant area attached at one end. Open plan so could become a bit noisy for anyone with hearing difficulties. Local beers (cask) available along with the usual keg taps. Sunday lunch was well worth going for. Same menu in restaurant as if eating in the bar area. The lite bite meals are also really good. Great terraced outside area with an imaginative children's play area. Staff were very smart, polite and attentive.

I've only just started going to The Beacon Pub fairly recently and because I've found it's really good and so much so, that it's even become a regular!🥰 This is simply because: the staff are lovely, friendly and helpful, the foods absolutely fantastic, and so what's not to like!🤩 It's really lovely sitting outside in the pubs front garden, with a tasty meal. The half price Friday fish offers brilliant and so worth it!Nice large fish😋 There's a pool table here and an outside kids play area for those with young children. They do a day time meal deal offer, that's also worth trying, especially the gammon and it's under what's called Light Snacks or Light Bites. Well worth paying a visit🥰 Thank you to the owners and staff for all your hard work in making it such a brilliant experience, as I just moved to this part of town, and love coming there:)

The beacon isn't our local but we go every week now for the quiz. The food is proper pub food for a reasonable price. The bar snacks and drinks are a great variety. We prefer this to our nearest pubs and will travel.

Well appointed old pub serving good selection of drinks and meals with excellent service and plenty of outside seating.

Great Sunday lunch good value great service

Enjoyed the Beacon. Staff very friendly and polite. Good atmosphere in the pub and last but not least no complaints re food.

Lovely coffee and food at lunchtime along with great service

Stopped in at random for some lunch. It was fantastic food and a lovely place. The burger was amazing and the free pudding was beautiful. Staff were friendly and the pub was a lovely place to stop at. I couldn't believe how busy it was on a Tuesday lunch time! I can see why as it was so good!

It was busy, but we had great service. Fab food.

Food and service were excellent . 😊

Lovely roast dinner, with great roast potatoes! The servers were very helpful and friendly. Good value for money. Children friendly venue.

Arrived at 12 pm, and there were already people waiting for the place to open. Very popular place I learnt. The food was amazing and reasonably priced. Service was great, polite staff, and did not have to wait long for food. Although it was busy, this did not slow the service and was not too loud. Certainly recommend and will be going back.

Very busy but decent food at reasonable prices. Attentive, pleasant staff. If I feel like like a decent pub meal in nice surroundings I would definitely go again but perhaps at a less busy time. This visit was on a bank holiday.

Great food at reasonable price's 👌

One of the nicest Sunday lunches that we have had in ages, thoroughly recommended

Sad to say we had an unusually poor experience at the Beacon. We've been coming here for years but tonight as soon as we arrived to our pre-booked table we were told we only had 1hr 15mins! How are you meant to enjoy a 2 or 3 course meal and catch up with friends in such a short space of time? The food was OK but smaller portion than usual, chorizo was overcooked, blue cheese sauce was watery, not thick and creamy :-( Nobody came to ask if our food was OK. Even though its table service we had to ask to order a 2nd drink but had to chase it up as it never arrived. Whilst waiting for the drink we got reminded that we needed to leave our table. Alot of new staff, it was a busy teatime but hope this was just a one off.

Great service,good food reasonable prices.

Signed up just to rate them a 5. Food was amazing!

We like coming here on a Monday as the ale is reduced. Plus it's got a nice atmosphere and the service from the staff is always very good. Great food too 😋

I had a wonderful Roast Beef dinner here with my daughter and grandaughter. The food was excellent, the service was first class and the cost for all 3 of us was very reasonable. Thank you and well done to all at The Beacon Hotel in Copthorne, Shrewsbury

Friendly staff, served quickly, nice french fries and sausages after our hockey match.

Good portions of food. Staff were very efficient.

Very tasty food, good value for money. Always good service, can always count on the beacon and the team for a lovely experience

We came here on the 31/12/23. My dad is coeliac so when we found out he could have a gluten free bun we were quite impressed. It seemed no issue for our server Luke to check for us. He was very punctual and got back to us as soon as possible. Everyone in this pub is so happy and willing help to help us with our drinks. Thank you.

Great pub good food options, nice bar, service brilliant

Staff first class.. Nothing too much trouble. Thank you lovely people who helped us.... Sunday 10th lots of us...

Great pub, go in for the light bite menu and treat myself to a dessert as well 😋 Great set of staff as well, very attentive

5th Dec 2023...10 of us dined here for our Christmas party. Food was cooked to perfection, plenty of it and staff were excellent. An excellent evening and as always the Beacon did us proud. Alan your team do you proud every day.

Had a great Christmas Dinner here today. Plenty of everything Well cooked and great staff to. Everyone was happy. Would definitely recommend. Merry Christmas See you soon.

Fantastic food and they definitely have a pool table.

The meal we ordered was from the light bites menu, and even that was enough for a dinner. Really impressed with the staff and atmosphere here, the prices are really good and it was busy at 12pm. I've posted a photo of the 4oz steak dinner I ordered and despite it not being a blue steak it was amazing. Honestly they can not do enough for you in here and I cannot recommend it enough. Best meal I've had in a long time... oooh and the salted sticky toffee pudding was exceptional. Thoroughly enjoyed by all 8 of us.

Top notch grub, hubby says the beer was good and he's fussy, the puddings were outstanding. No photos unfortunately we were too busy eating lol

Always a good meal and friendly staff

We booked a table for a family meal and everyone ate their meal, which is a first for us. The service was brilliant

Excellent. Food, service and beer all of an equally high standard. This is going to sound silly, but the steak and ale pie, was an actual pie (encased in pastry,) rather than just a casserole with a lid

We went in a birthday celebration and was not disappointed. Food was excellent as were the staff

Would absolutely not recommend. Staff were rude, we were rushed off the table and handed the bill and were not taken care of in the slightest. Awful service and staff need to learn some manners. Will definitely not be returning.

Great food and the best Guinness in Shrewsbury 😋🍻 also do a great pub quiz on a Sunday evening at 8pm!

It is so good to have finally found a place in Shrewsbury that is so welcoming, friendly and supportive of special needs children. It is always a struggle for us to eat out as my son has autism and we experience fe a lot of judgment and sometimes rudeness in restaurants. The staff at the beacon are always smiling, friendly and kind to my son. We immediately feel relaxed here and enjoy our food and experience very much. Thank you for being here Beacon team!

Always great food and friendly service

Love this place! We go quite often and always satisfied with our visit in every aspect. Very reasonable prices, ( we usually pick from the ‘lite bite menu’) the staff are always very welcoming and accommodating, no complaints at all even if on the odd occasion something was not quite right with our order, it has always been put right. 🥰

Not been here for years Very impressed with the place, food was great as was the service. Very good value for money

I took a number of pensions from an AgeUK daycentre, I drive a minibus for them. We all had the lunchtime menu, everybody enjoyed their meals

Lovely place looking out to the harbour good food friendly staff.

I'm well known for picking fault with the smallest thing. Nicknamed Victor after Meldrew! I could find no fault here. Food excellent and each and every one of the staff were charming and helpful. Looking forward to trying Sunday lunch.

There were 18 of us and we had pre-ordered food , however , we had to wait an hour before it arrived then we were told we had to vacate the table by a certain time . None the less , it was a good experience and the food was very nice . The staff work very hard and are friendly and helpful.

After a trip to the hospital was lovely to sit in the garden and have a drink

Great food and service and a good price, definitely go there again

Dropped in to watch rugby, great beer, had a fish finger butty too!

Lovely food, friendly, helpful service, quick service

Great staff, good food, and a very well kept restaurant.

Popped in for a drink after shopping, ended up staying for food. Great service, food and price. Will be back. Thank you.

Excellent food and service, but atmosphere was very loud, seemed very crowded in dining area

Good beer , good simple food, came very probt, good atmosphere

Fantastic staff and food. Plenty of choice. Was 5 of us and we all loved it

Great local pub. Good beer good food

Food was lush and staff great.Defo one yo visit if in the area ✌️👍

One of my favorite vacation spots

Brilliant food at very reasonable prices

A lovely friendly pub food super good selection of food for vegetarians good choice of beers 🍻 staff friendly and helpful went for a birthday party group of eight all served at the same time highly recommend it fair prices.

Tried here for the 1st time for a meal. Friendly staff, lovely meal, would highly recommend 👍

I am archie and I really like this place it has sports, yummy drinks and soooooo much more I recommend if your in Shrewsbury

Great quirky pub, friendly attentive staff, nice pub food, good modern range, surprisingly good steaks, mixed atmospheres depending on days, times visit, value for money. Our favourite local pub alone, as couple, family, friends or with dogs.

Family meal . Lunch time. 6 June 12.30. god food good prices good staff. Try and beat that.

Food was pretty dire. Cider seemed watered down and wine glass tasted of dishwasher tablet. BUT the service was quick and kids loved the bouncy castle!

Great value & quality food always served by very polite, pleasant & efficient staff

Very nice, busy pub with good food and helpful staff

Staff were very helpful and friendly, were very attentive and all ways around excellent

First time there and found it very nice. A lot of seating area inside and out. Prices are ok and the food was lovely. Would definitely recommend it.

Very disappointing meal, ordered there premium steak burger, the bum was stale and falling apart, the burger was burnt and dry, bacon was burnt. It was approx £14 meal and the chip are frozen bought not homemade. After complaining I asked not to have a replacement letting a burger out with such a stale bun I was put having another one. I was told the meal was taken of the bill but I am very disappointed that no management came to asked what the issue was and apologies for very poor quality food.

Lovely family meal, staff and food was great 👍

Lovely place great service and excellent food 👍🏻

Had a meal there last year in June along with 10 former Army colleagues food the service fantastic. Booked in again this Saturday 13th for 21 of us can't fault the team.

Great local pub with good priced food and a wide selection of beers 🍺

First time here, staff very rude and unprofessional.

Busy place. Good menu. Helpful staff. Served quickly which my husband liked. He's impatient!! We will return sometime when in Shrewsbury again. Good food, reasonable prices. 😊😊

Pleasant suburban pub. Five well kept real ales with four of them from local breweries.
