Bradford Arms in Shropshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The two people serving at pub were friendly and welcoming. Although after lunchtime they were happy to provide drinks and a hot meal. All served with a smile.

The owners are always lovely great drinks and atmosphere! We loved the charity event thanks for being so patient with us all!:)

Pre booked a table and when arrived with my disabled 71 year old mother was told there was a private function and if she couldn’t get up on a bar stool there was no table for us. To travel from Shrewsbury to pick up my mother for a treat of Sunday lunch to be told this by a very rude and smirking landlord was unacceptable and I will definitely never darken their doors again. Landlord needs lessons in customer service or maybe a career away from the general public and the brewery should certainly think of having a conversation with this guy

Absolutely zero faults!!! Came here for tapas night and it was unbelievable. Clearly freshly prepared food by the chef and all made to order. Friendly welcome and shown to a nice table. Great selection of food. Great welcome and service by Darren. Stunning food and service from Louise and Zoe. Can’t wait to go back to try something else! Book a table as I’m sure they can fill up quick.

We live locally and this was our first visit since the change in owners, but it won't be our last. Really friendly welcome, great service and very tasty food! Oh, and the most important thing... a well-kept pint of Wainwright :-)

Relaxed atmosphere. Good service. Good food.

What an awesome, family owned place! ❤️ We were a big group of 7 and a dog - the staff were so welcoming and friendly! The food was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. My dad-in-law actually said it was the best club sandwich he's had in his life 😊 You can just feel the love and care this family is putting into their business. Highly recommend to anyone local or driving through - you'll not regret it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Called in on our way home to Telford after a day out in Barmouth. Nice, friendly welcoming pub. Good to find a pub open on Monday afternoon. Will definitely call in again.

Had checked the reviews on TripAdvisor and decided to swing in on our way back to shrewsbury on a Sunday afternoon. Proper friendly bloke behind the bar told us food had finished but we ordered a pint anyway and he kindly offered a warm beef bap and some roasties with gravy. Brings it to the table 5 minutes later and Boom, a beef bap, gravy in a little glass, roasties and a bowl full of meat covered gravy. If the rest of the Sunday dinner is like this then your in for a treat. We'll be dragging everyone back with us for when the kitchen is fully open. They didn't have to sort us out with anything so was dead kind of them. From what we've experienced get yourself in there. Top people, good beer and beef and meaty gravy to die for. Thanks guys, we'll be back!

Stopped en route home from a visit to Wales. We felt really welcome and the food was delicious and good value (baked potato with cheese and beans for one, scampi for the other). Will go there again.

We’ve been here a few times on the way to wales and always enjoyed it. There was a new menu since we were here and the food was absolutely delicious!! Definitely will return again!

Excellent service and food Held funeral post reception drinks and buffet Very good management and service

We went here for some lunch on a Sunday and it could not have been any better place to be. The staff were friendly and helpful and suggested we sat down and got ourselves a drink as we were just in time for Sunday lunch - it was around midday. They happily accommodated our food intolerances and nothing was too much bother for them. The food was delicious, hot and well presented. Portion size was great though we did manage to squeeze in a pudding too - thank you for changing our Eton Mess to be a toffee, strawberry mess - gorgeous! Would definitely go again to this place next time we are back in the area

We arrived after the kitchen had closed just before closing time so didn't have a chance to try the food which had been recommended to us. We arrived very late, exhausted and dishevelled after a walk went seriously awry due to public footpaths being overgrown and blocked. The landlords were so kind, friendly and helpful and even gave us a lift back to our campsite. Will definitely go back and recommend them highly as a wonderful friendly pub, a highlight of our trip.

Just a quick recommendation to anyone and everyone, who is thinking of visiting the Bradford, well from me it is a huge, you’d be crazy not to YES not just from me, my partner and our big daft dog, always a friendly welcome, amazing home cooked food, but with amazing presentation and that personal touch, even our boy Prince is treated like a King 😉 so support these two amazing, beautiful people Darren & Louise they truly deserve your custom, and you will not be disappointed one bit !! ❤️🐾🐕‍🦺

Amazing food,friendly staff and value for money

Great pub. Lovely food and friendly staff

We had a roast dinner today, and it was amazing. The staff were really friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The Chef came out to ask us if our meal was ok, and the menus cater for everyone, including me as i am a vegetarian, and the chef went out of her way to ask if i would like an alternative to the meat. We will definitely be going back, we really enjoyed it.

Lovely people Excellent food Great to have our village pub back with a family who really care

Very pleased with the service, will call again.

We had a nice evening out. The owners were friendly and welcoming. The menu was fairly standard, we opted for scampi and chips, fish and chips and smothered chicken. Our food arrived freshly cooked and hot. The portion size was good. We decided to opt for dessert. The fruit crumble and custard was a hit with my family.We also had the chefs special of American pancakes which missed the mark for me, not quite as luxurious as the menu suggested, but in fairness I did eat it all. If I were to visit again I would probably opt for the crumble. I would recommend this pub as somewhere to get a decent meal.

The new landlord and landlady were very welcoming and extremely attentive without being in your face. The food was excellent, I couldn't fault the fish and chips and my husband enjoyed his burger and fries. We were so impressed we intend to return very soon

Amazing cannot recommend more !

Fantastic dog friendly pub, great wines and beer and great food, all this served by welcoming staff, definitely worth a visit

Lovely meal out with our family of 6. Belly bursting Sunday Dinners and the cauliflower cheese and pigs in blankets were amazing too. Great value for money. Wonderful and welcoming landlords. We will definitely be back very soon 👍🏻

Great country feel , warm clean , staff are very welcoming, A great find will definitely be back, Had a look at breakfast menu ,looks good

Where do you start. A welcoming smile as you enter, wonderful service and great beers. The food is excellent, served quickly and piping hot

I had the pleasure of meeting the landlady and landlord, and what a lovely couple, very friendly and welcoming. Look forward to visiting again. Great beer garden and a big car park, what a gem in a lovely part of the country

It was a fantastic lunch, and the staff were very helpful, and cheerful. The prices were very good. Had a lovely country pub feel. Excellent.

Popped in for some tea as i was passing and the food i was served with was excellent, the portion size was great and the staff was so friendly. i was served by the manager who was really polite and friendly. Would definitely recommend. Prices for food was really cheap and affordable ! the food i ordered was £9 and i as definitely worth the money , the food came out relatively quickly ☺️

I came here for a lovely Sunday lunch with my family, the food was delicious and the staff were so friendly. As we were waiting to pay there was a very difficult customer at the bar who had also had a Sunday lunch, she did not enjoy hers and was being very rude to the young manager. He reacted very professionally and offered her her money back and a free dessert! I personally found the food very nice and so did my mum and son. We paid and even tipped the server as my son made a very complicated order but everything was correct on his plate.

Thought we would give it a try as taken over recently. Wished we hadn't bothered 45min wait for Sunday diner and it was the poorest food I've ever had put in front of me. The veg from the freezer over cooked and cold not much of it, 1 small overcooked pork shoulder steak not even roast joint of pork, gravy tasteless water. Very very disappointing and embarrassing as we took family. Ruined our day. What a shame. Won't be going back.

Very friendly new management, food was amazing we called in after doing our family's graves in Knockin church. We grow up in knockin

Visited yesterday for lunch with my sons. Was greeted by Tom, who I believe is the new manager and we were sat in a lovely bay window with views of the local church. The pub is spacious and clean and very welcoming. I ordered the chicken burger and my sons both had the scampi. It was delicious! Hearty portions and excellent presentation. Hats off to the chef!! Will definitely visit again.

Stopped off here for some lunch after walking up the mountains - got a massive portion of lasagna! - and the land lady gave us lots of local tips for our next trip out to the borders.

Landlady was very helpful and friendly. We had portion of chips and it was good size portion. There were other people dining and the food looked good.

Just walked round looked nice and welcoming

Stayed on the car park Friday 29th December and had lovely evening meal, drinks in the pub next to roaring fire 😊 parking reserved for our Motorhome and although electric hook up was available we didn’t need it, we did ask how much and you just need make donation to charity box. Also pre-ordered breakfast next morning and it was delicious and set us up for our onward journey, thank you to the land lady and all the staff.

Great food and extremely hospitable!

Stayed in Knockin for Christmas and had a great experience thanks to the Landlady here. Excellent knowledge of the area and a pleasure to speak to, she recommended some places to visit on my last couple of days and I could not be more pleased with the sights I got to see. Dog friendly pub and the locals are very welcoming, definitely recommend a visit.

Absolutely fantastic place friendly staff and brilliant food

Lovely pub, very friendly highly recommend

Great place to eat,great atmosphere and friendly staff.

We stayed at cranberry Moss Camping and caravan park and went to the Bradford arams for a drink and food Really good food the landlady is down to earth and is the chef aswell staff are friendly it's dog friendly open fire and good guinness I thought I was in Ireland

Place is nice , good food and drink

Drove past the pub on our way back from Porthmadog. We were hungry and needing the toilet, so was hoping to pass a cafe or a service point. The pub looked open so we pulled up. We asked if the kitchen was open for breakfast and it wasn’t. However the lovely Christine rustled us up some breakfast. Thank you so much for going out of your way and cooking us a lovely breakfast. Essex couple x

Came here on way home from a visit to wales. The landlady was really nice and friendly. Food was fab . Def reccomend.

A lovely village pub with a great choice of menu at any time of day. Wonderful service and we were made to feel very welcome. We will definitely return again!

Stopped by here today in my camper when exploring the area and couldn’t have had a friendlier welcome from Christine. I stayed for a couple of drinks and really enjoyed chatting to Christine and will definitely visit again at some point on my campervan adventures. Shaz

Ate twice during our stay in the village. The food was excellent on both occasions especially the Sunday lunch.

Stopped here on our way to Abererch for some food and a pint. Great food! (Had the beetroot burger) There wasn't anyone there and so the owner was chatting with us. She is the sweetest lady. Told us about a bunch of local sweet spots to visit on the way. Reminded us there are no fueling stations nearby and chatted for a bit before we were on our way.

Welcomed by a friendly smiley young lady behind, this was 7 at night and we were the only ones in there . In a nutshell the food was low quality and overpriced, I’m no expert in hospitality but the movable advertising boards were leaning against the pub wall , putting them near the rd may help . Honestly we won’t be visiting again

Popped in with a few friends, honestly such a lovely place, 10/10 on food drinks & atmosphere, highly recommend, such lovely people, very welcoming, will definitely be returning!

A lovely welcome as soon as we walked through the door. We had stopped for coffee but got tempted by the cakes! The menu looked extensive but we had eaten brunch so were not hungry. The cake was lovely and service quick. The landladies were friendly and welcoming and an asset to the pub.

We are holiday and stopping near by , lovely staff and happy in any way to help , we intend to pop in every night we are here with our dog spaghetti ( Hettie ) x

The beer was overpriced and terrible and was dead only a few people there and seen the food price overpriced too wouldn't recommend

A lovely welcome from the young lady at the bar and Christine. Home cooked food at a reasonable price. Dog friendly with dog treats on hand. Would definitely go back

Discovered this lovely pub while staying at a local fishery in our motorhome. The landlady, Chris, made us, and our German shepherd, very welcome. She knows a lot about the local area, and we really enjoyed our chats with her. The barmaid, Bridie, was really lovely and helpful too. Told me about some really good local walks to take the dog. Hopefully see you again next year for another homemade lasagne, and Baileys put in an order for a lamb shank 😄

Stopped here on our long journey home from our holiday in north Wales. We were greeted with a very warm welcome for us humans and our two chihuahuas. We ordered 4 coffees and 4 large breakfasts. The coffee was hot, the breakfasts were huge and really tasty. The local sausages were lovely. We will definitely stop here again on the way to or from Wales

My son and I called here last Thursday evening on our way to our caravan , we were greeted by Christine who was really chatty and friendly , she cooked us a lovely meal as she was the only one working that night , it was really quiet we were the only ones in there . Will certainly be going there again .

We had a stop off here on our way to Wales and got a very nice roast dinner and warm welcome. Staff are super friendly. We decided to have a pud, only to be told that that was free! Delicious - sticky toffee pudding and the best carrot cake ever. Highly recommend.

My partner and I haven’t been here in 10+ years and we came back after driving past a few times on our way to wales. We had a couple of guinesses and I had soft drinks as driving. We also had two slices of cake as we were so tempted. They were AMAZING! I cannot recommend this place enough. If you are local or just passing by. Add it to you list of places to come!

had the best time here .. there was a jigsaw puzzle on the go and we were welcomed to have a go at .. the land lady was super friendly and the lumpy bumpy cake dessert was delish

Love this pub, luckily it's local. Great home cooked food, plenty of veggie and vegan options. Very accommodating if you have any dietary needs. Christine and the staff are very friendly making it a great atmosphere.We will be regulars

Hate to leave a bad review because the landlady is so friendly but the food is now awful. I used to love eating here but maybe a new chef? Because the food is now is not only poor but expensive too. Sadly will not be visiting again 😔

Short on drinks at time of visiting but friendly staff and plenty of parking. Food looks good value but we didn't eat.

Lovely food and very welcoming. Had the veggie lasagne and lamb roast.

Very nice place and lovely staff

Everything was spot on, food was very nice and arrived quick. The lady was very helpful in suggesting places to visit while we were on our holiday there, grandparents said it was the best steak and ale pie they've had.

Lovely pub, very welcoming. Food was spot on all homemade with plenty of choice ,including vegetarian and gluten free options. Christine is a lovely lady, very welcoming.

Absolutely fantastic establishment extremely clean, friendly with fantastic food , would highly recommend , please pre book in advance to save disappointment...........👌

after being on the road for a while, we finally found this delightful pub! very nice high quality food, friendly service with a cozy and welcoming interior! was wheelchair accessible with enough room in the car park to safely unload. wish there were more pubs like this!

Had the lamb shank me and my husband very very well cooked. The lady who I think owns it was so friendly and welcoming we live close so will definitely be a regular from now on. If there were 10 stars I'd put 10.

Food good and landlady fantastic

Lovely warm welcome. Catered for food allergies/choices very well . Dog friendly

Firstly massive thank you to Christine.m! What a lovely lady! I was in the area last weekend while my daughter attended a school trip but wss not able to stay over. I first went on Saturday evening on the recommendation of my b n b. Was greeted with a warm smile, had a lovely cheese burger and chips and drink for a reasonable price. I went back on The Sundays lunch time greeted with the same smile, had a drink and Christine happily chatted and listened to my fried brain chat rubbish. I went back again on the sunday evening where she happily chatted some more while i waited for my daughter. Would happily recommend to anyone travelling through and stop in . Thank you again 🙂

home from home food christine the boss made us feel like a local and the dog was welcomed 👍

Lovely landlady Christine made us feel very welcome and very knowledgeable of the area, food was amazing

Only had a drink but they have a good menu which we will have to try

Fab pub, really friendly staff and owner. Full of information about the local area. Visited with friends for the weekend and stayed nearby and ate here twice. Lovely atmosphere, really welcoming and lovely, fresh cooked, very reasonably priced food. Recommended.

had a great lunch sat in the rear garden in the sunshine, freshly prepared food.excellent hot, had a really pleasant afternoon, thank you, will most certainly call there again when next in the area.

a stop over on way to South Wales, this was a great half way house great pint and friendly service room very comfortable and quite parking round back of hotel first class breakfast cooked freshly by host highly recommended

Very clean and Amanda was very welcoming.. We had Gammon steaks with pineapple, egg, coleslaw, chips and peas. Also a Cowboy Burger and a Skinny steak. All meals arrived quickly and Christine the Landlady came and talked to us. It wasn't very busy when we arrived early afternoon. The quality of the meals was freshly cooked and was good. We will return.. My partner lived in this pub when she was little and her parents were the Landlords in 1964 for about 20 years. The memories for her was great

On Christmas day we turned up at the Bradford Arms not knowing what to expect as we had never been before. There was no greeting no hello and no Merry Christmas! We found our own table and seated ourselves. The music was delivered by heart fm on a flat screen tv and it seemed as if only 2 members of staff were working. After an hour our pre ordered starters turned up still with no hello or Christmas reference. Fish medley was starter and it was horrendous, the squid was like plastic and the prawns were warm, the tartare sauce was OK. We spent our hour before the starters looking at the other meals coming out and they didn't look appetising at all. After two mouthfuls of the starters me and the rest of the table decided that we didn't want to go through the rest of our Christmas day at the Bradford Arms so we got up and left before ruining the rest of our day together. On leaving we mentioned to the lady behind the bar how bad the experience had been and she seemed apologetic but the the lady serving the food looked confused by our disappointment. This was the worst dining experience I have ever had and the fact that it ruined our Christmas day made it even worse. I have read other bad reviews about Christmas day at Marstons pubs!

The Bradford arms Knockin Owestry, are the best pub in Owestry lovely staff lovely food easy to order. Lovely Atmosphere. They are very polite staff and Chef and lovely food.

Stopped here on a trip, late & unbooked; lovely welcome, dog too, and a really very nice meal. Extensive menu including wide variety of food types and courses

First time after a couple of years. New owners Fran and her mom made us very welcome. Food was freshly cooked. We played pool while we waited. Excellent service and food, highly recommend and will visit again
