Table for 2 offered to me and my daughter. We have eaten at CSONS many times over the years and enjoy the wonderful flavours of their unique cuisine. None of the usual staff around today (18/08/2020).I chose a dish from the small plates menu, my daughter chose a burger. The restaurant was busy. We placed our order with a waitress and asked for extra alioli with the burger. She replied "no problem".When the food arrived, mine was on a side plate and classed as a side. It was smaller than a saucer and was missing the advertised flatbread. Now I understand that mistakes with ordering are made but when I asked where the missing flatbread was, I was told rather abruptly that that wasn't included with the side. I said I didn't order the side, I ordered the small plate that included a flat bread. The waitress insisted that I was wrong but went back to the kitchen. A male staff member arrived with the smallest 2 triangles ever of their version of flat bread. I asked him if they were included in the dish and he insisted that I was wrong. I asked both the waitress and the waiter seperately if they could bring a menu back to me so I could show them the flat bread was included with my dish. No menu appeared. Meanwhile, my daughter's food came without the burger mayonaise and alioli. The waitress did not appear to know what this was, but after going away she returned with some. When I came to pay I found a menu and pointed out the dish that I had ordered with flat bread included. I did not get an appology and I asked that I would only be charged for the obvious side dish that had arrived along with my daughter's burger.I really hope that the disorganised way that this restaurant was operating today was a one off. I have watched the usual crew working so efficiently during much busier service. Such a shame as I don't think I will return. My tiny "side dish" was certainly not enough to feed a sparrow for lunch and no one was listening!

We booked to take two family members for a brunch today-pleased to say they enjoyed it as much as we did. The quality of food was excellent . My sister went for the Mexican option with the rest of us having the full CSONS. I hope the sauces we had to accompany our meals will be available by the bottle soon.

Found this little gem wandering around whilst spending a weekend in Shrewsbury. We had the beef kofta and a salad which was delicious so much so that we revisited for our evening meal! My partner and I had the ‘5 course mystery menu’ which was recommended to us by Luke the chef at the restaurant, AMAZING! All locally sourced and delicious, staff friendly and all were working so hard! Cannot recommend this place enough! Would definitely visit again :)

Just back from lunch on the first week of ‘Eat Out to Help Out” - and unsurprisingly. This fabulous restaurant was in demand. They have done a brilliant job of getting it covered ready! Incredibly clean – they really can’t have done any more to and you feel confident about eating out. Lots and lots of space around you - really well planned out. Brilliant. The food is absolutely fabulous! I had the chicken shawarma and it was absolutely delicious. Heaven! I had no food envy - so pleased I chose it from a really super and ethical menu. I don’t know what herbs and flavours the chefs used to create the shawarma ... but it was absolutely divine. The burger and potatoes were also fabulous - as was the apple juice. Service was friendly and efficient despite the fact they were very busy. Well done everyone at CSONS. Back again soon!

Went for dinner on their first evening of opening after lockdown. Quite limited menu and the restaurant was very quiet but this reflected it being the first day of opening. The staff were helpful and friendly and the food, despite the limitations on the menu, was excellent. Would like to go again when things are back to normal to get the full experience and I’m sure give 5 stars.

Friday morning elevensies and quiet in here. We had originally thought of the Cafe on the Cop but just takeaway by the look of thingsReally friendly welcome from young chap who explained what was available; the cinnamon buns were being made and the lemon scones close to being ready. One piece of carrot cake and chocolate brownies. Everything is understandable at the moment. We took the carrot cake and brownie.Sat in the little courtyard at the back, in the sun. Perfect.My friends' coffees weren't quite hot enough but I'd asked for extra hot so mine was just right. Both cakes were delicious.Definitely call here again when next in town, a very enjoyable experience.

We ordered online and picked the food up on Friday afternoon. The food was packed and labelled extremely well, instructions for cooking were in the boxes but there’s also a video on the website to help with cooking and serving suggestions. The food is already cooked it’s just a case of warming it through/ finishing it off at home. The food also lasts three days in the fridge so doesn’t need eating the same day. The food was fabulous with loads of dressings, sauces and accompaniments. We particularly loved the cheesecake with the filo base, honey syrup and raspberries but all of the food was delicious. We’ll definitely be back.

Minimal cooking required at home and absolutely foolproof.

We tried the CSONS at home offer during lockdown and it was amazing. I love their chicken shawarma anyway but when it was offered as part of the "at home" offer I couldn't resist. It was delicious. The 3 courses took just 20 mins of prep by me and it tasted just as great as it does in the restaurant. Even the packaging was biodegradable.Love you guys and can't wait to come back to the restaurant to see your smiley faces when you are able to reopen. Keep up the great work.

Booked for a saturday evening in January. booked for 8.45 and table was needed back at 9.45, no problem. Vegetarian menu looked good and all ingredients sourced locally. Staff excellent but busy, wine was good. Didnt have starter and ordered two different vegetarian meals. when they arrived the portions were tiny but the taste was incredible and unusual. as there was no side dishes offered in the evening we left hungry and there was no problem with the table being available for 9.45. We called in to the Lion and Pheasant on the way back for some chips at the bar (we ate there the night before). Although the food was fantastic and the service was very good, the meagre portion size looses two points.

Wednesdays pie night is an absolute must in town! The pies themselves are absolutely stunning, crispy and tasty pastry with that little bit of softness that everyone loves and they all have fantastic fillings. All come with a choice of how you want your potatoes cooked and which veg you’d like which is a nice touch that you have the choice of roasties, mash or hassleback potatoes as for desserts!! The chocolate pudding pie was out of this freaking world, it was the tastiest chocolate dessert that I have ever had, I wanted to ask to take one home too but my partner said that was a step too far the service is always very knowledgeable and efficient and the staff are always full of good vibes. It’s my go to restaurant in town and I’ve loved it here since it’s opened, well done team!!

I love CSONS. I first discovered them at their beautifully located second site in Ludlow. When I realised the original restaurant is in Shrewsbury (closer to home) I was so pleased! I’ve been for a mid-week lunch and most recently for the five-course Friday night Mystery Menu. The food is always fresh, local and well prepared and the staff are lovely. The apple cake with caramel creme was a memorable highlight. Shrewsbury is a fantastic town with a lovely walk following the loop of the river. I’m looking forward to my next visit.

We stumbled across CSONS for lunch about 8 months ago, and we were so impressed with the lunch we had that we, on chance, asked if they did wedding catering. We were ecstatic to find out they did. Boy were we lucky! We have since been going to CSONS every time we are in the area, and they catered our wedding on August 16th. THEY WERE AMAZING! So many people kept telling us that this was the best wedding food they ever had. We took a group visiting from Chicago to their Restaurant the day after our wedding at there request! In addition to the food, the team was professional, accommodating, and went above and beyond just making the food. They truly made our wedding special. We are so grateful to Reuben and his staff. We will continue to visit CSONS every time we visit and will recommend this amazing place to anyone we can.

My wife and I had lunch in here on a Friday. My wife had been before and was returning on the basis of her previous experience. We certainly weren’t disappointed. The food was excellent, very tasty, with a range of flavours and textures, and nicely presented. We both had Chicken Shawarma, which I can thoroughly recommend. A good-sized portion, too. For dessert I had Cmum’s lemon yum (what an excruciating name!), and it, too, was excellent, both flavour and presentation. From studying the menu there seemed to be a small but reasonable choice, to appeal to every taste, whether looking for a light lunch or a more substantial meal. I liked the ambience, though my wife wasn’t so sure. I did find the wooden seats a bit of a challenge after a while to my elderly bony ‘sit-upon’: I think I’ll take an inflatable cushion next time! So, yes, excellent food and superb service from our waiter, Bryn. There was a good ‘vibe’ from all the staff in here. A couple of minor ‘negatives’ though. We thought the wine was rather expensive, and I was surprised to find there were no bottled lagers – a lunchtime essential for me. There was a choice of craft beers, of which I had one, but I don’t think they go with the ‘Mediterranean style’ menu on offer here. Overall, then, an excellent meal and a good experience, thoroughly recommended. We will certainly be back.

Don't get me wrong, If you can pre view the menu before you come and one of the four (yes, Four) choices meets your taste then this will probably be OK for you. Unfortunately we were taken there as guests of friends. The "Globally" inspired choices (the four of them, oh, and four starter choices and hey, four desert choices were just not for me. So the advice; see whats on the menu before you go. Haven't been for breakfast / Lunch so can't comment. Location and building are handy and reasonable. It's an old refurbished spot, so don't look too closely at the decor in places. You'll love it or hate it. I think you've realised where I'm coming from.

Fabulous food, great service, just a brilliant night out. We went on the Friday Night Mystery Menu and were completely blown away with the quality and taste of the food. You don't get a choice of menu, it's decided for you, which is a radical format for some, but we found it quite liberating. 5 courses for £27.50. Every course was locally sourced, interesting and tasty. Free water on the table. Well timed service. We would highly recommend this for a great night out. And we're clearly not alone in this, as the night we went was fully booked and saw many diners turned away that chanced a table being available.

I always love breakfast at Csons. I had the delicious pancakes and my partner had the full English! DELICIOUS! A lovely start to day. I've given 5 stars as it is so good, BUT there's just one tiny fault that they obviously haven't noticed - its a minor thing, but nevertheless not very pleasant! The perspex salt and pepper grinders were delivered covered in a coat of grease, obviously from previous users! Maybe a quick wipe would be nice before sharing them round the tables! I know it's a minor thing, but it's a shame when everything else was perfect.

We moved back to Shrewsbury a few years ago and a relative told us about this restaurant in town. After our first visit, we have been coming back regularly and have introduced this gem to our friends and family. Their breakfast is the best in town in my opinion. They cater for vegetarians and vegans as well (you just have to ask). They also do great coffee (sourced from Hundred House coffee roasters). I really like their ethos: ingredients are sourced locally but their cooking is globally inspired. Although I always thought that if they ever did a Sunday Roast, it would probably be excellent (my own personal wish). They have tapas sized small plates on their menu which can be shared or you can opt for main portions. Certain nights they will do mystery menus which are always good if you are not a fussy eater and you can always tell them your dietary requirements.

Found this place thanks to reviews on Tripadvisor and booked in. Only later realised that we were going on their mystery night...

We tried to have a light lunch at several tea / coffee shops in the town with our dog but were turned away.

The CSons guys really love their food. The menus are inventive and worldly. We went twice in the last couple of weeks. The first time was to their Scandinavian set menu evening which was amazing. We are both vegetarian and they were happy to accommodate us and the food / menu was delicious. The second time was burger night and we shared both the veggie options which were different and really tasty. Our friends had the meaty option and both remarked it was the best burger they had ever had! Because the owners love food the menu choices are often exploratory and I love that especially when so much is so similar and frankly boring. The menu and food is made with love. Keep doing what you are doing!

I often pass this place on my way into town and it's usually quite full. I hadn't eaten there before because it has the kind of utilitarian decor which I don't like but my friend suggested we had lunch there and I thought the food would be good given its seeming popularity. To be fair, much of the menu isn't my kind of food but I thought the burger would be to my taste and it was but the "roast potatoes" were really quite horrible - overcooked, slushy, slimy and swimming in oil. It's not difficult to roast potatoes properly and keep them warm so I feel there was a lack of attention to detail here. The service is very affable but we were left staring at our first course plates for a good half hour and I had to leave the table to seek a waitress to get them cleared. I then had coffee and a brownie. The brownie was OK but the coffee was decidedly second rate.

I really enjoyed my meal here. The kids and rest of the family ate well too. There were a few words on the menu I didn’t understand- but the food and drink was phenomenal. Thanks for making us welcome.

We stopped in Shrewsbury for some lunch, trying to avoid the large “chains” & looked for a quality independent, after rejecting a few pubs & bustis we were lucky to happen on a busy vibrant home cooking Jem. Lunch apparently normally requires a booking but we were lucky it was mid month & quieter! One table for two available & it did not disappoint. I had one of the best burgers I have ever had, with a large mushroom as an extra. No chips included but CSons potatoes were really tasty.

Midweek lunch and birthday celebration, we chose this bistro over and above the chain restaurants that have proliferated in Shrewsbury over the years. The menu changes daily and there was plenty of choice. The chicken shawarma was a generously proportioned dish with a stack of spicy chicken thighs on a bed of couscous with lots of accompaniments. One small criticism is that the spicy rub was on the skin and this was rather unappetisingly fatty rather than crispy. The other dish was pork belly which, again, was a bit fatty. This is to be expected but it wasn't sufficiently rendered down. Suffice it to say, we will be back.

Friday night mystery supper a great success. All five courses very good - nice idea to have sharing puddings

My partner and I visited in February on a busy Saturday night. We had originally intended to have just 2 courses - starter and main, however we enjoyed those courses so much we had to squeeze in a third! Washed down with a lovely bottle of wine.

We visited on a busy Saturday night. The service was excellent - knowledgeable and very friendly. We had three courses and we’re very impressed by the cooking and the innovative flavours and combinations. Fantastic!

We came on a Friday evening and they were serving a "surprise supper". We just let them know of any dislikes/allergies before they served. All the food was locally sourced and tasted healthy and scrumptious. The puddings were to die for and the local wine was excellent. This is my new favourite place. Can't wait to visit again.

Visited here with 14 of us to celebrate my 60th birthday. Great atmosphere on a Saturday night and we all loved the wide selection of choices in all 3 courses. Everyone was delighted and remarked that the flavours and taste were exceptional. Service was excellent on the night largely from Ben and the great communication from Adam in planning the night was much appreciated!

I've been to Csons so many times and it never disappoints. Dishes often have an Asian or middle eastern twist and are full of interesting, delicious flavours. Portions are so generous and always presented immaculately. I would say it's really difficult to find food of this quality and imagination in the UK.

We ate here last night for the second time, to celebrate our wedding anniversary (a day early but who cares!). Our first was the same weekend a year ago on our first visit to Shrewsbury. We enjoyed it so much we didn't even think of going elsewhere.

When we go for breakfast we go to one of two places, the Shrewsbury Hotel (which is actually very good) or we go to Csons.

This is a nice, dog friendly place. The menu selection is very good, the prices are reasonable and the food quality is good. My burger was still red in the middle, which is OK with me, but I suspect many would prefer to be told / asked about this in advance. The garlic mayo is very strong with garlic, which was lovely. Super busy at lunchtime.

My wife introduced me to Csons... it is outstanding. The food is freshly prepared and imaginative. Service is patient and accommodating, no pressure is brought bear if one is merely coffee and caking or indulging in a fuller meal. In summer the yard is perfect.

I always pop in here when I’m in Shrewsbury. I am never disappointed. I’ve visited with various friends and they always enjoy what they have. The atmosphere is really chilled, whether you are inside or sit out in the little courtyard. The service is excellent, the coffee strong and the menu should have something for everyone.

We visited as a birthday surprise and once I found out the venue I was very happy as I’d been meaning to come for some time.

This was supposed to be a special birthday meal. Very disappointing.Decor : Extremely dated and a mix of old uncomfortable furniture making it untidy looking. Not an inviting place to be.Cleanliness : Not good at all. We were seated in the back by the fireplace near a window. Very dark/dusty/dirty. Lamp/fairy lights werent working. Dead plants. Filthy windows. Dead bug on outside window ledge.Needed a thorough clean inside and out.Drinks :Ok reasonable choice available.Bar covered in linen tableware.Atmosphere :None. No back ground music. Could hear constant shouting in the kitchen. Only one other table of people and the hostess said two bookings had been cancelled that evening.Food :Partners meal looked good and tasted ok.Mine (chicken kebab?) was extremely bland and dry and covered in dry spice (paprika) .. couldnt eat it.There were brilliant previous reviews ... though very old and an award winning chef, so we were extremely disappointed after a long awaited visit here.My advice to those thinking of going ... dont.It wasnt a cheap menu and we found definitely not worth our time or money.It needs a massive renovation ... it could be a gold mine as the building is crying out for some love and care.Hopefully the owners will listen to these comments and take on board the changes they need to make. Go to other restaurants and check out the type of things people now prefer. The pub opposite was fabulous/full and very atmospheric. Sadly, we wont be re-visiting this restaurant ...

OK so it's not the cheapest but you get what you pay for. My husband and I stopped for lunch and both had the sausage and marmalade jam sandwiches (one toasted) - they were superb and came with the most delicious coleslaw and salad on the side. The service was great, friendly and efficient. We had to return to the cafe 2 hours later as my husband realised he had left his mobile on the table, staff were so helpful and showed us ( 2 old codgers !!) how to set up the emergency service should it happen again (hopefully not).
