Brooklands Hotel in Shropshire

Sunday carvery, advertised 12-3, arrived 1.15 only pork available, tough, most food cold, luke warm at best,gravy like water, defrosted shop bought sweets . At £13.99 per person definitely not value for money and won't be returning.

It's a shame that we arrived for the carvery before 3 when they were finished food, but was OK. Needs some serious tlc the building inside

Only went in for the one before the match

Great value carvery, really enjoyed the meal. friendly staff.

Just had a drink. No food being served.

Walked in today at 2pm with two other couples wanting a Sunday lunch but was told carvery was closed even though it's advertised as open until 3pm! Won't be going back!

Visited for a family meal (Sunday Roast) and for Father-in-law’s 93rd birthday. Excellent meal, very friendly and accommodating staff and management. Would visit again..

Went during the day. No food served during the week, roast on a Sunday. Pretty grotty in there. The deck looks like someone would fall through it. Needs a makeover. Lovely friendly cat was the best part about it.

Could be abit cheaper for the amount you get

Used to be five pounds to park, last season, but change of management now means that it is ten pounds to park!.. Obviously when Shrewsbury Town are at home. I'm no lover of Tories, and blame them for everything they are guilty of, but... A 100% increase for parking is not a cost of living crisis, it's just pure greed. That said, this year it wasn't standing room only, so we sat in comfort, and enjoyed great beer... Still disappointed that the fish and chip shop, across the road, is now a pizza and kebab outlet, and the gorgeous woman I met there, first time I visited, doesn't work there anymore.

Went here to park for football ⚽ it's a bit run down at the moment but hopefully will be tidied up soon. The security team looking after the car parking we're brilliant very welcoming and friendly. One of them went above and beyond just to get my Mrs a cup of tea thanks very much. If we go there again next season would use it again.

A very nice clean and warm pub. Didn't eat there. Just went after a funeral. X

Nice pint of John Smith sat in the beer garden on a lovely spring evening.

WORST PLACE EVER!!!! Attended here as a Plymouth Argyle fan and straight away my back was up due to the security very pushy with away fans which wasn't on! Only had to explain there was a different entrance for away fans-I'm not to know that as an away fan! Had to queue 25 minutes for a drink eith 1 member of staff serving which was ridiculous and quite frankly annoyed everyone! Eventually another bloke was brought in to help serve drinks. Mens toilet was absolutely disgusting and the floor was that full of water yoh could put your flippers on and have a pool party, absolutely vile! I had 1 pint of coors and a lemonade/lime and the next morning my stomach was not right which I can only assume was a dodgy pint as I had nothing to eat at Shrewsbury. Certainly wont be returning to this dump of a place, utter shambles and they wonder why trouble breaks out when fans are treated like animals!!! The police even moved fans onto the ground as they were 'big lumps' and didnt want trouble-Thats discrimination based on someones size. Overall, absolute shambles!!!!

4 of us travelling from wisbech for Posh v Shrewsbury, parked car for £5 went in ordered 4 drinks, surrounded by Shrewsbury fans in customary stone island and cp company ,I had a feeling they somehow guessed we were Peterborough fans 😉but nonetheless we proceeded with our drinks to sit outside in the glare of the glorious sunshine and the glaring Shrewsbury firm 😀

Decent pub for a pre match pint and somewhere to park.

Any business (pubs, especially) that has survived the last 3 years of Tory onslaught deserves our support. Oi Sunak, increase my pension so I can keep more pubs open.

Ok for a quiet place to meet. No food during the week Decor could do with a tweak.

Pleased to find a friendly little pub to enjoy an Impromptu carvery. Fresh, tasty, and great value at £9.99pp

This has newly became my local i was made to feel welcome ..the barlafy the night i came in had blonde hair and glasses on great member of the team she shud be reconized as such..cant wait to come in again.

Service was lovely but unfortunately food wasn't warm enough

Don't know if the car park is owned by the pub, but £10 parking is a bit steep, only pay £3 to watch Sunderland.

Excellent venue especially on Match days when Town are at home. Very helpful staff, always a warm welcome and a pleasure to visit.

Was going to use the pub for match day parking and go in for a drink and food . Security guard asked who I supported and when I said Lincoln he said parking was £10 . I asked how much if I was a Shrewsbury fan and he said a tenner as well but when I decided to leave said I could park for a fiver , probably the real price for shrews fans ? Poor service and lost trade for the pub . We parked for £3 at the bowls club and paid a friendly steward.

Thought we.d try there for a sunday carvery, everything tasted ok except for the mash ( way to sloppy!) But sorry to say it was cold to!! Big disappointment! 😥

Was ok but needs a darn good clean inside

Very over priced for what's on offer

After ordering our drinks. 5 minutes prior to ringing last orders they rang the bell. 5 minutes later they were pushing us out of the door whilst they held a lock in for regulars. After demanding we gave them out drinks. Forcing my partner to give them virtually a full glass and forcing me to neck mine we were ushered out with the response that they did not care if we never attended the premises again. All whilst they sat Inside comfortably enjoying their drinks. At £8.75 a round for 2 people I wouldn't call this value for money. Avoid at all costs. Cheap lacklustre decor and bad management make this a place to avoid

Staff friendly not much choice of real ales would not rush back

Note they are not serving food at the moment (except Sundays seemingly), assume new owners, friendly and allow dogs inside which is great. Could do with a refurb but seems mainly to be set up for the football fans, large place. Poor selection of lagers.

Shame they ran out of the Three Tuns XXX. Good service on a football match day.

Made welcome prior to big match at Shrewsbury footy stadium.

Comfortable dog friendly local.

Very busy on nagvh day. Staff nice but ran off their feet.

Visited today. The food was terrible served on paper plates!! Burger & chips Scampi & chips No organisation the staff didn’t know who had ordered what. I cannot believe you would serve customers hot food on paper plates What kind of place are you running

Good friendly staff and locals.

Excellent food. Pub tyred needs decerating

Cracking night here worth a visit 👍

It's alright. Good spot for a post-match pint when the weather is nice.

A very welcoming pub. Went in before a game for a few pints. No food on but beer was good

Good, mini music festival is sound. Beers and grub are also good for a local boozer.

Lovely staff...great service...

Best Sunday lunch we have had in a long time. Superb soup. All homemade. Staff very friendly and went out of their way to help us. Thank you very much we will be back

Amazing Staff, very compassionate as I was there for a wake

Good saves nice people and so helpful and not wate for you youre drinks

I attend a Slimming World Group meetings in the function room, which is pleasant and roomy enough for the Consultant to set it out in line with current Covid Regulations

We booked for a Sunday Carvery as we were told it was under new management, having arrived early we went to the bar for a drink but waited almost 15 minutes to be served as there seemed to be only 2 girls working. We then proceeded to the restaurant at our booked time only to wait another 15 minutes before any staff turned up to show us to our table. It was immediately apparent that the restaurant was filthy, sticky tables that hadn’t been wiped down after the last people had left (the same applied when the couple sat next to us left and they had a dog at the table !!) there was a large covering of dust on all chairs and ledges that obviously hadn’t been cleaned for a couple of months ! If the “front of house” is this dirty what is the kitchen like ?) The carvery itself was of a general good standard with a nice selection of fresh veg (with the exception of the red cabbage which looked to have been left out far too long) the beef, although nowhere near pink was tender, my wife’s turkey good too but the roast pork was extremely dry, so much so that it crumbled when being carved, we did point out that the Yorkshire puddings were cold and the man serving brought a fresh tray out for us. My wife used the ladies toilet during our visit only to find there was no toilet rolls at all !! We did point this out to the waitress who said that they didn’t have any loo roll at all, I really question how staff are managing to maintain satisfactory hygiene levels if they can’t wipe their own bums ?? I honestly think the new management need to address staffing levels and definitely up the cleaning regime, we won’t be rushing back

Arrived for a footy match from Oxford on Saturday lunchtime. Popped in for a quick drink before the game. £5 to park for the day, we walked 15 mins to the stadium, collected all three points and returned after the game. Watched the England Wales game, took all the points again so happy days. The service in the pub is really friendly as were the locals. Can’t report on the food but they have a great range of beers and a nice atmosphere. Would recommend for matchdays and will be back if ever playing Shrewsbury again.

Average range of food and beer but expensive. Keep away when football matches on!!! Good car park though

New management Menu improved Excellent Sunday carvery at just £7.95!!! Staff friendly and good range of drinks

Visited here on Saturday from Dundee fir a football game..we came to the bar both before and after the game great bar with a good selection of drinks at reasonable prices and the staff had also made us up a good selection of filled rolls. Hope to return.

Sunday morning, just been shopping at Meole retail park, thought we'd grab some breakfast. Called in to The Wild Pig, it was very quiet, in fact I did wonder if they were open, so asked the barman first. The two teas and full breakfasts soon arrived and were brilliant. Completely faultless. One of the best cooked English breakfasts we'd had for ages. Struggling to think of a better one. Really couldn't understand why there weren't more people in there enjoying a great breakfast at sensible money. Seriously worth a try, we will definitely be back.

Had the most amazing baby shower here for my Step daughter. We ordered a buffet for our guests the quality and quantity was the best. All the guests commented on how nice it was. I would recommend this venue 100%.

We ordered fish, chunky chips & mushy peas off the menu. When it arrived it had fish, skinny chips & no peas. At this point it’s fare to say we should have just refused to accept it. I mentioned to the male waiter that it said chunky chips on the menu and the reply was sorry Chef told me he has run out of them. What should have happened was the waiter asking us if it was ok to still have the meal. No sign off the peas, he said they would come later! They did when we finished eating. Needless to say we told them it was a bit late. It was obvious we were not happy so they offered a £5 discount on the meal. Once again I must state we should have refused the meal. The fish was very tasty. Won’t be going back again.

Have had lunch here twice. First time we were impressed - all seemed home cooked and was great. Second visit was around 4 months later & I have to say very disappointing, Ordered calamari both times - 1st time freshly cooked, 2nd time it was that frozen mush rings that they may well have bought in home bargains!!!! Burger was very average - again obviously bought in not freshly made. Won't be bothering again, there's plenty of far better places to eat in Shrewsbury

Attended on a football day although service was a little slow the food could not be faulted served scampi and chips in a frying basket on a type of bread board. Large car park attached

decided to try here for dinner, on walking in it did smell a little of stale beer which wasnt pleasant. asked for some menus and ordered some food. 3 out of the 4 meals didnt arrive as asked for. my medium rare steak was more well done. was a bit loud with groups of people in the restaurant area drinking so we left as soon as we had finished out meal. food was ok, but I expected more for the price to be honest. service was a bit slow.

We went here for a family Christmas meal, didn't notice if we had to wait for our food to long as we were catching up, but when the food arrived WOW such good portions and the chicken ham & leek pie was excellent, such big portions. I didn't have a starter so I could have a desert but how wrong I was, no room. A BIG thank you to chef Tom and I think our waiting staff was Josh, well done

Was with a party of 15+ . we had pre-ordered our meals some days before.When they finally served our table ,the meals were brought out in ones and twos and about 5 minutes between each delivery. Pizza and Lasagne bore no resemblance , just cheese sludge on dubious base. It all took so long that there was no time for dessert or coffee. Felt sorry for the staff who were embarrassed. We were all given a 10% discount . Will never go there again.

Visited on Remembrance Sunday for a carvery, greeted and seated quickly (should have been a warning), order taken swiftly then nothing. Chef missing for 10 minutes then finally when he did arrive he served the meat knowing there were no toast potatoes ready and after saying they would be out in a minute they finally arrived after the veg was cold, but wait..... not roast potatoes but boiled potatoes with paprika powder dusted over the top for colour (they tasted like dry boiled potatoes with paprika dusted over them) I did complain and they apologised but still no roast potatoes and the Parsnips were cremated. The staff were pleasant but hardly dressed appropriately for waiting on but perhaps that’s a more personal opinion. All in all a shocking visit and I will not be going back. There are loads of good carverys in the area that can cook so they will get my business. If a Chef can’t produce a Carvery they should hang their head in shame!

Friendly staff and doorman. One thing to note, if you are parking here for the match, on the way back to your car after the win, make sure you hide your colours otherwise the local charvers will gob off and throw perfectly good beer at your vehicle when you exit. Otherwise a nice little pub with lovely local ale.

Located near to Shrewsbury football ground this pub was bursting at the seams when Sunderland AFC visited. Nicely situated near a river and a bridge it was good to have a couple of beers in the Shropshire sunshine. The pub was understaffed and apparently it took ages for food.

We eat out a lot and this was the best Sunday lunch I’ve had and extremely appreciated the friendly guy on Carvery 5🌠

Quiet Wednesday night. Long wait for our 6 meals - maybe an hour. My "Cajun Chicken Kebab" was fairly bland - no Cajun spice on there. The sultana couscous lacked sultanas. The salsa was just chopped tomato.

Friendly and pleasant atmosphere. Food was lovely and plenty of it. Wouldn’t hesitate to eat there again.

Looked after us well after our meeting with a hot buffet, the staff being friendly even giving us foil for the leftovers

Nice food just could do with a staff shake up, could be a nice place. I had Ham Egg and Chips ad couldnt complain about the food what so ever!

Absolutely terrible service. I had two beers added to my order which i hadnt ordered. They brought out our meals 2 at a time over a 40 minute period. Topped off by the final meal arriving after the children's dessert due to the staff missing it off.

Booked for 9 people - waited for over half an hour for order to be taken. 2 meals brought to table followed 15 mins later by 2 more then rest of order brought out at different time. No enquiry as to whether desserts were required! Very disappointing indeed. Will not be returning.

Waited 45 mins for food despite there only being one other family in restaurant.

Popped in for a drink after work, which is unusual ! And thought we’d try the chicken kebabs that were on the specials board. Very professionally laid out and the taste was really good. Reasonable priced comparing to others on the menu. Service excellent as we’ve always found, will return

Disappointing Sunday lunch. Ran out of Yorkshire pudding chipolatas and stuffing halfway through service.

Bit of a dive really. Won't be going back in a hurry.

Changed the name to Wild Pig. Food so over-priced none of us will go again. To book the function room you have to have their exorbitantly priced party food. Nice beer garden though.

OK. Now renamed the Wild Pig by a 30 year old middle management idiot.

Rang to book a Sunday carvery during the week only to be told on arrival that carvery/dining room was closed for the summer so we ordered our lunch(beef) at the bar and ate in the lounge.

Was going to eat, but opened the menu, fingers went straight into grease not great and just didn't get a good feeling, changed hands and name same place. I'm sure people love it, just not for me

Visited daughter in Shrewsbury and she took us to the wild pig it is a very friendly pubs staff go out of there way to help beer is kept to a perfect tempreture and the food is cooked perfectly a very good place to visit whilst in shropshire

Really nice atmosphere lovely day so sat out side whoch was nice. Only fown side was that we had to wait a long time to go to loo. Need more ladies toilets

On a recent trip to visit friends we stopped in the Wild Pig before heading to a concert nearby at the football stadium and again for a drink after the show. Cute place, great outdoor seating and friendly staff. It was pretty busy so it took a while to get drinks and they didn’t get order correct one if the times we ordered from the inside bar. I was a little disappointed that they only had hot dogs and burgers on the grill as some of our group including myself don’t eat those meats.

Good basic venue for a drink ect

I went out with a group of work colleagues for an evening meal,At the bar we ordered drinks after 7 attempts we got a clean glass for a drink of white wine the Bacardi and coke was disgusting.After we had a drink we were shown into the restaurant,ordered our meals and seemed to be waiting for ages.When the first two meals arrived it was disastrous it was supposed to of been scampi and chips the chips were cold and the scampi were like golf balls, hence we cancelled all the rest of the meals and decided to go elsewhere.

Visited 11th May with 12 friends. At 7.15pm we were the only customers. Alarm bells should have rung when bar staff struggled to find a clean glass to serve drinks. No specials available, so all of us ordered off the main menu. Waited for about 45mins for food to appear. How wrong can scampi and chips be. Over cooked scampi, resembled snail shells, cold chips and served on equally cold plates. Food was sent back as inedible. As other plates came out in the same inedible state it was decided by the group to leave. Such a pity. We will NOT be returning to this place.

We went on a BH Saturday and the lack of people perhaps should have set alarm bells ringing. The floor of the main eating area was sticky and the tables, although clear of dirty plates had not been wiped down. The burgers were ‘OK’ (Cajun Chicken and Pulled Pork). The scampi straight out of a freezer pack and the chicken breast was suspiciously ‘thin’ - in fact it was a chicken breast cut in half and the cut edge hidden with the spices. The french fries had a cardboard texture (were they reheated? Refried? Not nice as all). There was a strange ‘vetting process’ when entering the car park (A young man asking what our purpose was in coming to the venue.When we said to have some food he responded “that’s OK then park anywhere” - We did wonder other than eating and drinking, what other folk do!)

Comfortable, drinks everything you want for and cheerful staff.

We called in with friends to see if the Sunday Carvery had improved since the pub had been renamed / taken over, but to be honest it hadn’t.

Very good Sunday Lunch. Excellent beef. Decor needs smartening up a bit.

Generally good food but not exceptional. We all enjoyed and ate our meals. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Perhaps because it is called the Wild Pig, we should have anticipated a lack of vegetarian options, as was the case.

Went for Mothers day lunch. Carvery very good

Home made curry was lovely and the chips were amazing too.

I like the place drinks are expensive

Ideal for away fans: plenty of bar staff when West Ham were there. Large outdoor drinking area. Security on the doors & subtle police presence nearby. 10 minutes walk from the ground. #coyi

It's a godawful Place, cold, food was like reheated roadkill.it didn't help that we attended a function, but the bar was like half a mile away at the other end of the building. Not gonna rush back any time soon

A lunchtime visit for four was very pleasant. Massive car park, service good and attentive.Food was nicely prepared and large portions. Fish and chips excellent. The starter tray was particularly good, tapas style, with good choices.

We have been to The Wild Pig a few times for Sunday lunch, which is a carvery.

Having taken advantage of the hotel £5 parking on a match day for the nearby football ground, we made for the building itself, now renamed “The Wild Pig”. It was already crowded, but very welcoming, with, on a bright December day, customers both inside and out. The food menu at this time was limited to various brunch choices which was well prepared and presented. Service was very impressive, particularly in view of the crowded and noisy atmosphere. The beer was good and we will certainly call again.

Brilliant pub with very friendly staff well worth visit with a fantastic drinks selection. L

Now called Wild Pig. Little change in environment but I hope food is good. Not sure.

Old atmosphere gone plastic pub over priced

Recently refurbished and renamed " Pig Stop" I believe. Large car park and clean inside
