Coleham Tap in Shropshire

Visited with a couple of friends, we were made very welcome, great atmosphere, nice log fire, , ice cold wine and delicious food. The watermelon and feta salad was seasoned really well and very fresh, the fish goujon sandwich was delicious. Don’t need to say any more! If you want a lovely pub, with parking and a beer garden looking across the river towards Shrewsbury quarry then this is the place to go!

Great family meal with excellent food and great service.

Over priced slop same as youd expected from witherspoons

Wonderful, helpful staff. High quality, accessible building. Great parking. Lovely food menu with good vegetarian options. Great drinks selections.

Loved this place. It's very close to my partner's home and she brought me here of a Friday evening. Excellent staff, a great atmosphere, and quality choices of drinks!

Lovely meal for 5 friends, food was presented well and very tasty. Good service. Lovely friendly pub with nice atmosphere. Used a 30% off main meal voucher so our meals were well worth the price. Already thinking about our next visit.

Disappointed with your asking for a tip during payment.

Excellent service and lovely staff as always. Generous portions and I had the nicest Caesar salad I've ever had. There was so much chicken there was enough to share with our accompanying dog! They make an excellent pot of tea as well. A pleasant and homely environment.

Great Friendly Pub, good atmosphere, good beer, good food, friendly staff. This is a good example of what a local should be, we dont live in walking distance so have to drive, but it is still our local

A lovely place for food and drink that is dog friendly. Lovely views o er the river.

Lovely setting and wonderful staff

This is an iconic Shrewsbury pub, a favourite for many years. Always a great atmosphere and good value. Great outside river view area.

We visit each time we’re in Shrewsbury. COLEHAM Tap is the best 👍 great food smashing staff always a warm welcome. Would highly recommend it for a great night out. Beautiful outdoor seating areas overlooking the river 👍👍👍👍👍 next day took all our family there and now realise why we go so often. Most impressed!!!!

Excellent service, food amazing!!!!!

We booked Sunday Lunch for 20 people for my Wife's 60th birthday. The food and service was excellent, and nothing was too much trouble. This is by far our favourite pub in Shrewsbury. Thank you for making my wife's birthday celebrations very memorable.

The Coleham Tap is a nice traditional pub with a good selection of beers, lager and cider, including cask conditioned hand-pulled real ales. The cask ales were very good when i visited. The pub has a nice beer garden with great views of the river. The staff are very friendly and welcoming it's a nice cosy pub worth visiting.

was only there a short while and yet was already impressed by the welcome, warm atmosphere, and assiduous service! definitely coming back to actually eat! edited: omg their steaks are amazing! huge recommend! service is excellent and very understanding of my anxious, autistic mess of a self! hidden gem, may never bother with the other side of the river at this rate!

Kyan is a highly professional and respectful staff member, very friendly and overall a great person to speak too. Definetly worth visiting. All the staff are lovely but he goes above and beyond to make sure customers feel welcome.

Lovely location next to the river

Absolutely amazing experience. Food and customer service was outstanding. First time in the pub and we will definitely be back, and have already recommended to friends and family. Angela Powell

Really friendly staff a lovely relaxing Sunday lunch...great food great service our dogs were really spoilt too

The choice of food was great. My choice of chicken & chorizo kebab on flatbread was delicious. I was too full for a pudding however the choice was good. The service was impeccable as always. Staff friendly and attentive. Environment clean and there was a good atmosphere. See you soon and over the festive period.

I booked a table for 13 people. A pre-order was not requested so I was worried about the time it would take for all meals to come out. There was no need to worry though as the service was fantastic from start to finish. The lady (sorry don't know her name), blonde hair on shift at 2pm was brilliant. Always checked in that everything was ok and had the order correct. The table ordered starters, Sunday dinners, Sunday specials and desserts. Everyone enjoyed their meals, there was not one compliant. I would definitely recommend and I will be returning for sure. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

Years since I was in last. A up market place. Very tidy inside. Lovely decor and a great beer garden. I'll definitely eat there in the future. Both the Mrs and I had a good experience.

Great riverside pub , food is tasty and prices are very agreeable

Beer - summers evening - by the river - does it get any better ?

Good food, good ambience, friendly staff

Lovely views of the river from a great beer garden.

Comfortable pub, with friendly staff and good food. Great value for money.

Lovely since it’s been updated to coleham tap, food came quickly, lovely outside area to enjoy the sun.

Good food, good service, lovely riverside venue

Great atmosphere, lovely big beer garden, food always good. Great choices on food menu, drinks menu also. Reasonable prices can't complain at all. Staff friendly and helpful. Thanks, we will see you again.

We absolutely Love the Colham Tap - especially on Sundays for Lunch. Their Sunday Lunch is amazing. The Roast Dinners are cooked to perfection, we just cant fault a single thing. tasty, great value for money, really friendly staff and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly in a beautifully styled dining area and garden. We just keep going back.

The blode lady servig today was extremely polite and efficient with a pleasant manner. Thank you for your excellent service. Food was excellent and in the sunshine on the river was a perfect lunch.

Great atmosphere, excellent food and drink. Pleasant helpful staff. Lovely riverside terrace. A thoroughly wonderful experience. Highly recommended.

Excellent pub with a great selection of beers, staff are all very pleasant, cheerful and helpful. Recently been refitted out inside and out. Food is great value for money.

First time visiting, won't be out last, we both had steak which was really good! ( So a d pepper sauce, obvious it was home made ) Staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Great river views, clean and attractive interior. Very happy with our visit and will be back very soon.!

Good food, friendly staff great atmosphere

Updated:- previously only ever been for drinks... Have now been numerous times for food, what can I say, absolutely bob on... Great menu, great food, great atmosphere, even on a quiet night. They know what they want to do /be, and they do it extremely well. Love the new refurb, great selections of draught products and a much improved atmosphere. Visited more in the last 3 weeks than I have in the past 10 years.

Lovely pub with friendly staff a fabulous food. The service was excellent with both Simon & Kai looking after us! The lasagne is a must, the tastiest I've ever had! Such a shame the sun wasn't shining, because the outdoor area is amazing, next to the river.

Lovely friendly atmosphere. We had the Lasagne which was excellent. Good service. Great outside area overlooking the river.

The staff are always very friendly and helpful. Fabulous location, clean and tidy pub. Lovely food.

Excellent service, good choice of meals, fast and efficient service. Decent amount of good, tasty quality food. Very clean tables.

Lovely place great service fantastic staff happy with vist will come again

Well since the refurbishment and the new menu the whole atmosphere is brilliant and the food is yummy all cooked fresh so if you want ding ding and can’t wait 25 mins don’t come and complain . Yes sometimes they are so busy and can’t order food but we’re isn’t it like that when food is fab .& there staff especially Kyan .mitch , Casper can’t remember the 2 ladies but all are so friendly and there whit .and yes luke and Simon as well .

Nice river side pub with good food.

Delicious food this place is soon becoming my favourite place to eat . Great food and service and the outdoor garden is delightful in the sunshine ☀️

We went on a Monday which was a quiet night but the food was really good and value for money with 30% off main meals, amazing. Had 10oz ribeye, sea bass fillets, pudding, wine and beer for £63, all overlooking the river and the setting sun. What's not to like.😁

Been to the Tap previously and enjoyed the experience. Today lunch, Father's Day, was however disappointing !!

Booked a table here wish I had not .stood by the bar for 20mins to get drinks .to be told they don't serve at that side of bar.when I told them they should make the signage better. Some jumped up little man that works there with a real bad attitude handled the situation all wrong causing a bad atmosphere didn't have the food I ordered my guests left most of there food. A real bad place to go will never return

Always a friendly welcome when I visit the coleham tap. Luke and Simon are fabulous hosts who always make time to chat with me.

Tonight myself and my sister in law decided to come for food. We understand that the staff were very busy. However, from the moment we sat down we weren't given the welcoming hospitality we hoped for. As we were ordering our food, I had asked for a burger of which the waitress failed to tell us wasn't available. The attitude from the waitress was not welcoming and very much unapproachable. This made us both feel on edge. Once the food had arrived, not far from 1 minute, the waitress asked if we'd like sauces, we declined politely but pointed out that a side was missing. The waitress accused us of not ordering this then stormed off to the kitchen. Thankfully, our side came not long after. We noticed that we were short-changed of fries but understood they were busy so decided to leave it. However, at the end of the meal, we were asked if everything was okay with our meals... anxiously (due to the waitress stomping round, being blunt and not being approachable) I replied by explaining that my chicken was pink. The waitress asked me in an unpolite manner if it was cold. I responded by explaining that I hadn't tried it, due to it being slightly raw. We then had to wait a lengthy period before being able to ask for the bill as the waitress then avoided us. Once we asked for the bill, we asked to split it as there was two of us. We were then demanded to go to the bar. During tonight's experience, we felt very uncomfortable and as if we weren't welcome to dine here. We aren't saying we definitely won't be coming back, just that we leave been put off for a while.

Nice meal friendly staff pie and burger were delicious this our second visit and we will be returning

Lovely to sit outside by the river on a summers day

Good menu we had lunch, service was good atmosphere nice Riverside setting if the weather had been better we would have eaten outside. A little walk out of the turn but definitely recommended a visit

Great place for a beer by the river.

Great food, great drinks, great service, great atmosphere. 5 stars

From entering the establishment, staff were inviting and friendly, we were shown to our table and service was of a high standard. The staff could not be more accommodating and nothing was too much of an ask. Having such great attentiveness makes a huge difference. Food was amazing, and the overall atmosphere made for a lovely evening with friends. Highly recommend!

Went here with family we were visiting, great venue, great view over the river Severn, great food.

Nothing was too much for the staff , lovely food and great setting by the river.

Good food and a reasonable range of beers

The guy behind the bar (the manager?) shouldn't be in hospitality, you need to cheer up bud

Had the worst experience with this pubs very very rude owner! I am not sure if he thinks because he has a good beer garden he can treat people like rubbish. Snatched the Sunday lunch menu out of my hand as I was walk in, and didn't book! Then thought I'd give the place another chance a few days later, where the same man told me to hurry up with my order as there is queue. Not really how you should treat people, let alone paying customers.

Excellent pub food - lots of choice for our children.

Can't comment on the food, as we only had drinks. Vibrant atmosphere. Due the warm weather, the large outdoor area was very busy, although bar service was very quick. Nice venue for a sunny afternoon.

Very enjoyable food and great service

Pleasant staff, nice food and service. Disappointed the car park was full.

Lovely sharing platter for lunch and a good selection of beers. Lovely spot by the river.

Amazing Sunday lunch! Food was delicious!! Beautiful pub to stop and just have a drink but added bonus of lovely food! Service is excellent! Thank you Luke, Kian and the team! Can’t wait till next time 😊

Good pub, good experience - 30 per cent off. Recommended

Exceptional service and top quality food. Our server Kian really made our day

Such a lovely pub, with great service and a good selection of beers. Staff are welcoming and friendly and there are several levels of seating area outside, that face the river. The pub inside is cosy and stylish and has s good vibe.

Main meal served quicker than expected and was delicious. Slight delay on desert but was lovely when it arrived. Staff friendly and helpful. Will certainly use again

New waiter/waitress service for drinks and food. Both drinks and food came quickly plus staff very prompt in bringing dessert menus, taking dessert orders and delivering desserts - I often find places lacking this kind of service once main courses have been cleared! Really nice friendly staff.

Came here today for a meal with my wife, son and daughter - after receiving a email reminding me about the recent refurbishment. The pub looks amazing and the decor is brilliant! When ordering drinks tried to order my son a cider , but was informed that they don’t serve under 21’s , this was explained to us and whilst clearly my son was gutted, my wife and I clearly understood from the reasons that they gave. Ordered food at the bar, when the food arrived my sons order was missing , the gentleman that took the order came straight over and apologised for the error and told us the chef was cooking the food straight away (this was brought out shortly after) Food was lovely and I’m sure we’ll be back again in the near future!

Service was attentive and friendly, and we were pleased you were flexible about those of us with smaller appetites wanting to order the children's Sunday roast (which was delicious and just the right amount!) The selection of vegetables was particularly good and we also enjoyed sharing the lemon tart afterwards, which was also excellent. I'm sure we'll be back!

Good spot for some decent mid week pin grub Service was friendly, food was good value. Nice and welcoming and not hectic not pretentious. Also really good with my wife's nut allergy . Would recommend 👍

Overpriced and poorly cooked food. Service was good but no offer of alternative or discount on the bill after I complained about the hard and chewy chicken.

Really good food, nice pub, table overlooking the river.

Lovely lunch.I had a sirloin steak which was cooked perfectly.Lovely to have a good amount of very fresh salad on the plate.Excellent service and a great atmosphere.Thank you.

A lovely, well decorated pub situated right on the river. Friendly staff and good food, a little slow in serving. Well worth a visit.

Really nice friendly pub, But a bit pricey for food, But it was really nice. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Recommend for a few ale's, lager's.

Regular place to go and eat. Always good and great views of the river when the weather is good. The terrace is very nice indeed. Staff fabulous too.

Food was delicious and well worth the cost. Friendly staff.

Lovely food, friendly, helpful staff and very comfortable surroundings

I rarely do reviews but since it was renovated and taken over by a new team this place has been great. The location is gorgeous with loads of outdoor seating overlooking the river. For those of you who do not know shrewsbury it is less than 5 minutes walk from the square in the centre of town. Tried the new menu last night....Great chicken burger and kebab. Had I made it at home I would have been pleased. Service is very attentive and very friendly atmosphere. If its a cold dark winter day...the open fire and seating in the bar are very enticing. Food Prices very reasonable for quality and quantity. It has become a regular for us.

We lunched with friends. Our table was in a cosy smallish room off the main bar and, being round, was great for conversation. We were made very welcome and the service was excellent throughout. Our food was freshly cooked and came when we wanted it. I had salt and pepper squid as a starter and then the 6oz sirloin. We all had the baked cheesecake for pudding. Everything was delicious.

My go to pub! Love the staff, who are always, without exception outstanding. The food is great and the service is always good. Whether it's for a drink, lunch or group meal, I would alwys try and get a table here first out of all the pubs in Shrewsbury.

We always love to eat at the Coleham Tap the food is excellent. It is also a very friendly pub and the staff are great we shall be but soon.

Coleham Tap is such a lovely place to visit. Luke and Simon have created the perfect place to relax, eat tasty fresh sourced food and enjoy a great selection of Beers, Wine and Spirits. I also would highly recommend if you work on a laptop remotely, they have the fastest Broadband in Shrewsbury! Staff are highly professional and the outdoor area is the perfect Sun trap in the Summer and they have a cosy Log Fire inside for the winter months. A must visit if you are living in or visiting Shrewsbury. 💪😊

Very nice pub on the river and very good staff.Lunch was nice and very welcome after a 4 hour drive.7 days later I get a £100 fine for not putting my Reg into the parking machine.I called the manager and he said he would sort it out with the car parking company , it happens all the time.Ps He did sort it.

Having received the second lot of vouchers my other half and I on a well deserved day off decided to pop down for lunch . The very pleasant waitress explained there would be a wait for food but hey ho no rush and an extremely pleasant view. A wait yes but an hour for 2 sandwiches and fries and people that ordered after you getting theirs. Just before we were walking out the food arrived my fish was luckwarm and possibly on the turn was asked if I wanted something else answer no my other half said hardly any chicken and hard bread. The icing on the cake was the presumed manager when we went to pay for what we had was the total lack of concern or apology he did void the whole bill but parted with have a nice day if you can !!! Worked in the trade for years and all I can say is never again and definitely would not recommend

We had a lovely visit, the staff were all polite, checked on us a couple of times and made recommendations from the menu. We had a lovely ribeye steak done to the exact level we wanted and a sea bass dish which was also very delicious. Atmosphere of the pub was great! Have already recommended Coleham tap to our friends and will continue to do so in the future!

We were a table of 4, the food was average, it wasn’t worth what we paid, I personally enjoyed mine, the starter was hard and cold and had to go back and one of our party had to send there steak back 2 times, I really liked the feel of the place as it felt very comfortable, the staff were excellent and cannot be faulted. We will give it a few months and perhaps try again. Thankyou.

Lovely Sunday lunch today, friendly staff that could not do enough for you. Looking forward to returning again soon!

It was the 1st sunny Friday afternoon and the staff were rushed off their feet but they were really welcoming, patient and nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious and no complaints at all. We'll, be back again!

Table was way too small. I booked for 6 people. It was a really tiny table. Very uncomfortable sitting on the end, no toom for legs. No room on the table for plates. Never asked if we wanted dessert. Guy behind bar was not happy to be asked to make a baileys hot chocolate. Chips were skinny, horrible fries. No fish or macaroni cheese left at 6pm. Advertised as fizz Friday. We had 1 bottle of prosseco then were told they had sold out. Overall, not great.

Butter was over chilled for roll with Prawn cocktail. Sauce was luke warm and I had poored it onto sirloin steak. Sent meal back. Came back 25 mins late everything burning hot mushroom size was half that of what was on first plate. Decided poor food. Will not return.

Sadly the menu for non gluten food has changed. This was our favourite goto place since the flower show bomb hoax last August. Now only hunters chicken is ok. Food regulations changed 2021 for allergens and listing of ingredients yet there are no gtees any more. Much easier not to provide the service. Great place unless you have allergies.

Very busy and popular public house. This did not phase staff as service is top notch as usual. Food was fantastic and affordable would highly recommend
