We were here on a CAMRA pub visit with a group. My family of 4 people decided to have some food as well here. OMG, what a great decision to do that. I had the chicken tenders burger, served with skin on fries and salad. My husband & father in law had steak burgers with skin on fries and salad too. My mother in law had falafel in a Pitta with the same sides. We thoroughly enjoyed our food and the service was excellent as well. We sat in the beer garden which was quite deceptive from the outside. Great atmosphere and friendly atmosphere too, will definitely go back.

As I live locally, I've never had reason to stay overnight. So, can't rate the accommodation, but the food and service are top notch. 👌🏻 A small rear two tier beer garden is an added bonus, especially on a sunny afternoon 😀

Good things first, great selection of beer, tables for dinning and a lovely garden with loads of seats outside. Beer was reasonably priced. My biggest gripe was I was queueing and it was my turn to be served, bar tender already saw me YET he jumped on to serve the next person who was not queued. Good thing a lady staff saw me and jumped in. Really hate it when that happens and yoy have waited to be served. Place was not even that packed. Just bad service, discriminated? Being the only asian who was in the pub, i don't know. Update: as a reply to what they claim; no, i have been to a lot of pubs as it is my hobby to do so when I go to a new place. It was so clear as the bar staff was taking the order that I was not "with" the person he was talking to, infact he has seen me behind that person the whole time he was ordering and not even conversing to anyone. The female staff also saw me the whole time snd yet when this other guy jumped the queue, he just served him first as I kept on giving the male bar staff the look. And as I said, the female staff realized that,despite her being busy also, as I have been standing there for a few minutes and jumped in to serve me. In other pubs, bar staff are quite attentive and most of times ask who else hasn't been served yet. (And yes, racial issue does exist, as a non white who enters pubs, I get stared down at times.)

Feel this place is a little under rated. Friendly service and the clientel ut attracts. Not much choice of real ales think 3 on. However, what i had was well kept, had to slow down as too easy to drink. Will have to look what i had but it was a mild/stout. Updates on Real Ale Finder seem weekly. Well worth a visit.

The all new Cromwell's has a very different vibe to the old one, it's loads better! Previously I had tended to avoid this place (see old review below) but a change of ownership has done it the world of good. Great selection of beers, guest special draughts and a beer fridge to die for. The food menu is a little small but packs in some brilliant choices, all with a twist or unique slant. From making their own vinegar to turning a bratwurst into a restaurant dish it's one of those refreshing menus that gives you something you haven't had before, or twists an old favourite to make it intriguing. Food prices are very reasonable, compared to other places in town you are getting good portions with unmistakable hand made elements that leave you feeling satisfied and not out of pocket. They do show sports in the bar area, so it can get busy and a little noisy. A family meal with children probably isn't a great plan if it coincides with the Manchester derby. That said, if you can get a table in the restaurant room adjacent then you wouldn't notice. Really enjoyable place, good beer and food, atmosphere and even a spot of people watching if you can get a window seat. I've not tried the beer garden since it changed hands, but the forecast is good on Friday so there is a pint and bratwurst with my name on it Edit: beer garden is still a wonderful sun trap, it is still unfortunately tarnished by inconsiderate smokers. It's a shame that either the upper or lower area isn't smoke free. You don't want to be eating your lunch whilst getting wafted by a mix of tobacco smoke and vanilla/cherry/tangerine vape clouds Old review below 8-10 years ago this was a favourite place, a group from our office would take advantage of the beer garden nearly every lunchtime through the summer. It is undoubtedly one of the best sun traps in town I rarely visit these days but popped along for an evening beer in the beer garden. Unfortunately, the thing that puts me off is still prevalent. Smokers. It is impossible to sit outside without the constant whiff of cigarettes. It is as if all the smokers of Shrewsbury choose this beer garden. I certainly wouldn't eat here purely for this reason If the owners ever make the garden smoking free it would certainly pop up on my radar. My rating reflects my distaste for the smoker atmosphere. If you aren't bothered by it then you would likely rate it higher

Came in for a meal with a friend. A beautiful venue which felt cosy and cared for. Service was prompt and the cocktails were very tasty. I had the gnocchi which was out of this world! My friend had the halloumi burger and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were annoyed at ourselves as neither had been before, but we will definitely be coming back again! Edit: Also popped in for Sunday lunch with my family. Everything was brilliant, a beautiful spread and presentation was amazing. Two lots of beef and a fish and chips. Three very happy and full people! Beef was perfect and pink and the cauliflower cheese especially deserves its own shout out! All in all amazing. Staff are very friendly and on point.

We stayed here for 2 nights. The reason for giving 5 stars is that we felt so welcome like part of the family. The staff and owner Nick went out of the way to make sure you were comfortable and happy and adapted food or drink to ensure satisfaction. Room was good, great shower. A bit of noise from outside being on a popular road. Would definitely recommend.

We booked a table for a Saturday night and we were sat at a table amongst all the drinkers in the main bar. It was starting to get very busy so we asked to be moved. The staff were very accommodating, and they moved us into the restaurant area, we had this all to ourselves which was much better. They were really attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, the service was very good. The food itself was amazing.
