Dog and Bull in Shropshire

Went to The Bull & Dog @ Coton for Sunday lunch. Country Pub & restaurant are very nice, warm and welcoming, friendly staff and has a wide menu. We opted for the Sunday lunch, I had the roast pork and the wife had roast beef. Plenty of delicious meat, roasters, swede purée, red cabbage, peas, carrots & cheesy creamed leeks and plenty of gravy. Good quality tasty food, competitively priced. Good choices of dessert and a good range of beers. Definitely be going back.

Only get to visit when I'm visiting daughter. Great Pub. Great Food and Great Service. Always a varied menu and good range of real ales. We don't have the luxury of pubs like this in my home area. They were very much quieter than previous visits - here's hoping to their long success

Had a very enjoyable dinner here recently whilst on an overnight stay in Shropshire. Sally & James were very friendly members of staff and brought service with a smile with very little waiting time. Huge portions and very reasonably priced meals. Would have loved to have tried the desserts but the mains were just so large we had no room left! Highly recommend the steak and pie of the day. Would definitely return if in the area again!

Lovely meal. Fantastic food. Friendly helpful staff. Very dog friendly. Lots of space inside and out. Play area for children.

My wife, son and I recently had dinner in the Dog and Bull near Whitchurch in Shropshire. The pub has a pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. Our server was great and we had a wonderful meal with massive portions. Recommended.

We are not regulars, but we try to go at least a couple of times a month, as we have had some good nights at the dog and bull. We took our Labrador in this time and he was particularly excited whenever he sees another playmate. We were going to order some food, but as I ordered the drinks I was spoken to by the barman quite abruptly and he made a comment very loudly about my dog being loud. This made me feel very uncomfortable so we decided to leave. The staff member in particular needs to learn about Hospitality or I think we won’t be the only ones not going back..

The Sunday roast (pork with crackling) was faultless. The best roast dinner out that we’ve had. Lots of meat, the home made stuffing, beautifully cooked veggies and lovely gravy. We ordered Yorkshires to go with the meal and they were huge! A must!

The service was poor , there were only a handfull of others in at the tme so no excuse . My meal of Crispy Beef as a main was almost inedible as was my friends who had the same, If I was not with other friends I would have complained at the time but it was innapropriate for me to do so in the company was with at the time ... Two other friends had gammon.. we had to source steak knives as it was so tough !When it came to coffees the cafetiere was dusty as if it hadn't been used in a long time .. we used a napkin to dust it off !! Suffice it to say I and my friends will not be returning !

As first time visitors, we were overwhelmingly impressed by the warm welcome from staff and the comfortable surroundings. I felt as easy as if I was a regular customer and to be honest, I wish it was nearer to home as it would undoubtedly be my go-to venue. The food quality was superb! Truly having eaten in Michelin star restaurants, I would be just as happy to eat at The Bull & Dog and the menu choices have something for everyone! I don’t usually leave reviews but it is so well-deserved I cannot praise them highly enough. PS I had the pan-fried chicken supreme followed by sticky toffee pudding in case you’re looking for recommendations.

Booked Christmas lunch here, so glad. Absolutely fabulous food, roasted turkey and all the trimmings plus a dish of an amazing array of vegetables, and all freshly cooked. So much we couldn't eat it all. The pub was packed, and how they coped with just one waitress and the manager serving table was a testament to a well-run ship. Money well spent.

We are staying in the area and this pub had been recommended in the visitors book. My husband rang the afternoon before and booked a table for 2 with our dog. When we got there it was very busy with a lot of large parties. We could not see a reserved table for 2 so asked at the bar, as we could not see any staff seating people. Whoever had taken the booking had not written it down apparently so we were given an unreserved table and some menus. We ordered at the bar as again waiting staff seemed in short supply. We then waited 45 minutes for our meal with no one coming to explain or update us on the delay. We were waiting so long a couple near us finished their main, ordered their desert, finished that and left prior to us being served! The food was lukewarm on arrival especially the veg, and the beef was very rare, although no one had asked us how we wanted the beef done. I suspect they had taken on too many bookings and could not cope as the staff seemed rather disorganised to say the least.

A truly lovely and down to earth pub. Dog friendly, good range of real ale and good delicious menu. We were drawn to the pub as it was closest to where we were staying and with the awful weather we thought it best not to travel to far. A good result all round. Great food, great atmosphere and good evening

We like the atmosphere here and go often with the family. Unfortunately, last night, after a complaint about the cream being off on a desert (not a problem really) the girl behind the bar had an extremely bad attitude, stormed into the kitchen without speaking..,,,came to our table a few minutes later, slammed the dessert back on the table, said she had tasted it and it was vanilla the chef had added the day before and said angrily you can eat it! This girl should not be in a customer environment. The manager was great though, but I’ve never seen such horrible behaviour from a bar person… sadly it left a sour taste, literally!

i came on today at lunch time and absolutely loved it. I walked in and no one was there but the man out front was going above and beyond for me, my mum and my sister. Excellent service.

My Wife says one of the best Sunday dinners she’s had in ages, she had the beef which cam with a lovely Yorkshire pudding and good selection of vegetables, I opted for the special steak and ale pie and chips, good selection of cask ales and friendly and polite staff.

We were on holiday and found this pub by accident, it was Sunday so we went in for lunch. They were fully booked but they said if we had a drink at the bar then we would be given a table when one became available. We didn't have to wait too long and was seated and we ordered our food which we thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were friendly and attentive and the place was clean and had a nice atmosphere, what more could you ask for! Highly recommended.

Good menu choices and very generous portions. Good selection of ales. Child and dog friendly. Nice play area at the rear and outdoor seating.

A lovely old pub in a quiet area by Whitchurch. The food was really good, and the prices didn’t break the bank either. Staff were really nice and Friendly. Would recommend

Lovely pub and usually excellent food sadly not this visit salmon in tomato sauce was way to overpowering didn’t even taste the salmon !!! Fish was ok but soggy the only nice thing was the pie 🥧!!! Won’t be rushing back

Absolutely THE BEST place for, food, drink company and fantastic staff.... Been here so many times it's like going home to sit with family and friends for a great meal. James and Em are the best hosts, always asking if your OK, if the foods to your liking and genuinely enjoy your company...keep up the great work all of you

I'm delighted to be giving this 5 star review to this gem of pub. The building is full of character and everyone is welcome including your dog. There's always been a lovely log fire going and great atmosphere. This is not a fine dining place but a home from home, hearty hub with the radio playing gently in the background, laughter from the locals and a menu to suit all. We've been repeat customers for a few months and the food is consistently good. It's all made in house and there are some beautiful touches such as a homemade Shropshire biscuit served with your ice-cream and coffee. What's a Shropshire biscuit I hear you say? Well I'm no expert as to the authenticity but the version you will get served here is a round, shortbread soft cookie with a delicious, gentle lemon flavour from the added lemon zest. As a diner, it's the little things like this that make you feel the food and kitchen is full of love and home comforts. You can expect all the classics like Steak & Ale Pie, Burgers, Curry but also a few more refined dishes such as The Chicken Supreme. Any dietary requirements are well catered for, just tell them when ordering at the bar. All the staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is wonderful for lunch and dinner. We can't fault it. That's why it's our new local.

Me and my partner went for a meal on Tuesday evening. We enjoyed it that much we came again on Saturday night. Food was amazing and super tasty, atmosphere was lovely. Staff were great and a special shout out to James who really looked after us! Definitely would recommend and can not wait to return . Thank you Bull & Dog!

Great food, great staff who are very attentive, warm cosy atmosphere, defo worth a visit. I had Sunday lunch which was amazing beef well cooked and not over cooked

We attended a party on Sunday, we were looked after by Em and James i have to give them 100% for customer service . They both were very professional and friendly . The buffet served was incredible ,such a varied selection of dishes 5 stars to the chef and staff .

We were a party of 4 adults, two children and two dogs and we were all well looked after. Everyone was so pleasant, stopping to chat to our dogs. The food was lovely and the service was quick. Will definitely return when back in the area.

Spent New Years Eve here and had a brilliant two course meal. Full marks to the chef for display and taste. Staff were really friendly and accommodating of any needs we had. The band playing were awsome and I have got to say, a really good night. Full credit to the bar manager.

Thank you to you all for such a wonderful Christmas Day meal. The food was delicious, the service was amazing and the atmosphere was just perfect. You all worked so very hard and we are very appreciative of a lovely meal and a relaxing day....

AMAZING!! A superb two course meal £22.50, the three course meal £27.50. What value for money!!! Starters: filo parcels, mini shepherds pies and humus bruschetta…yum yum yum. Mains: nut roast, Christmas dinner…portions were substantial and included very thick slices of turkey or large slice of...

Lovely bustling venue, Sunday lunch disappointing, beef very tough, had to ask for a steak knife to cut it, roast potatoes had very tough outer and very little potato inside, had obviously been kept warm for hours, nice vegetables ,staff were friendly

Thanks for a fab lunch - great food, attentive service and relaxed atmosphere. The tuna melts were huge and tasty - loved that the kids nuggets were homemade. Perfect local on our doorstep :-)

We visited as a group of 8 on the day of their garden party. We knew it would be busy but when we arrived at our table their wasn’t enough seats for us all. When booking we were told both menus were available although on...

Nice decor , plenty of parking , very pleasant staff . Lovely beer garden and play are for children. Food ok but nothing special.

The best meal my partner and I have had for some time - excellent food with a proper portion size, served with a great smile, and not overpriced. Super dog friendly too.

Mixed reviews at the table. My starter of bruschetta was tasty enough but £6.75? The fishcake, also £6.75, was, apparently, a little dry. My tagliatelle was amazing, tasty and well-cooked although a tad too large for me, but husband's pie was very disappointing. A pie...

Friendly community pub with plenty of outside space. The steak and ale pie was excellent but the BBQ pork belly special was much less successful - read on. This is going to sound very critical but I'm just trying to give some honest feedback. We...

Visiting relatives at whixall marina, we came across this eatery. Felt service was slow but the food delivered was well worth the wait.

Brilliant food and fast service. A quaint gem we struck on after an experience at Shropshire Falconry. The bar staff were very friendly and there was indoor as well as outdoor seating with a decent sized car park. Highly recommended!

The food used to be really good but nowadays (since about a year ago) the food has gone downhill and is way to rich with not much actual flavour - instead of just dousing cream, butter and fat to make things taste nice maybe focus...

Staying with friends in the area, they suggested Sunday lunch at the Dog & Bull. A table was reserved and we arrived at about 1230, greeted by an enthusiastic bartender and a couple of friendly young waitresses. Encouraged to choose from the Sunday lunch menu...

On entering the pub I noticed a really unpleasant smell like drains. Thankfully we were sat at the other end of the pub so it didn’t bother us. When I went to the ladies the smells of damp/drains was really over powering. They def have...

Friendly staff, great food, garden ideal for dogs / children. A definite recommend for lunch.An obvious go to for locals.

They managed to accommodate us (party of 6) at short notice 👍 Yummy food (try the brisket, it’s superb) and great service. Highly recommended!

Unplanned stop on the way to Shrewsbury. Huge outdoor area with both a terrace and large grass area. Plenty of areas in both sun and shade! Very friendly red haired guy with beard who served us with 5* service. Food came very quickly and was...

Welcoming pub. Excellent covid arrangements. Just stopped for a coffee for the driver and I had a wow ice-cream with homemade shortbread. Meals are top quality here. Pricey but we'll worth it for the top quality. Accessible toilet. All on one level. Blue badge parking.

In these difficult times, it is awesome that our local is adapting so well to continue to serve outstanding food and drinks. Having complete confidence in them is reassuring to all. Lovely steak with all the trimmings for under £20, mouthwatering!

Nice country pub for a pint and something to eat my friend lives round the corner from pub and we call in when round ,food good staff friendly and nice pint Derek ✔🥘👍🍺

Since moving to Shropshire in June and living within 3 miles of the Bull and Dog I thought it about time that I visited my local. Situated in the small village of Coton on the B5476 between Whitchurch and Wem this atmospheric country inn offers ample parking for visitors.Arriving with my wife on a Monday just after noon we felt reassured to find the Inn strictly observing the Covid-19 health and safety regulations.Once seated, and having perused the menu at our leisure, we decided to forego starters and ordered main courses of a 10 oz chargrilled rump steak and a Bull and Dog mixed grill. Both dishes came with handcut chips and an assortment of vegetables. The mixed grill for my wife was a rather enormous affair and although she had ordered the steaks well done she thought the end result somewhat overcooked. Having requested my rump steak be prepared medium it duly arrived at the table as ordered. The handcut chips we thought a little below par and the onion rings were overdone. To accompany the food our beverages consisted of a pint of Oswestry ale (no Whitchurch brew available) and a tonic water.The service throughout was friendly and unhurried and in general terms the food (apart from the observations above) was as expected.From this first experience we would expect to make future visits with family and friends.

We visited for the first time on a Friday lunch and we pre booked our table .The pub is beautiful outside and in with a great outside area for kids and adults. We order for the light bites and had sandwiches and they were delicious. The staff were very friendly and covid safe. We will definitely recommend and return.

Popped in on the off chance, not been here before. Was lovely. Service was great. Hand sanitizer stations, staff in masks, track and trace in place, well organised. Best nachos we have ever had. Would come back just for those. Meal portions were huge. Shared nachos, I had veggie burger and husband had pie. Dont think we will be eating again for a week so we are so full. Veggie burger was excellent.

Visited last minute a very warm welcome and lovely pub. We decided to have a light bite so ordered 2 basket meals at £7 each. When they arrived we were very disappointed. A few chips and 3 very small fish goujons and gammon size of palm of hand. Not great and not worth the money.

Had lunch here today 17th August - it has been a couple years since our last visit. The food was good honest pub grub well cooked and prepared. The service was really friendly and good and a credit to the establishment. Just the one chap behind the bar who could not have done a better job and a young girl who was so sweet and friendly and helpful - a good experience overall indeed

Visited here with family early August. Very disappointed. Firstly, we had to queue at the bar (with no masks) to order drinks, food and to pay. At times it was very busy and certainly no social distancing - you also had to pass through these people to get to the toilets.When the food came, we were all disappointed with the amount on the plate. The chicken burger came with just eight chips and the chicken was really thin and dry. The amount of meat on the mixed grill at nearly £20 was shocking, the only meal that did not raise any comments was the steak. Thankfully we had ordered a side of chips and onion rings. We ordered chips and sausage for my little grandson, as he does not like mashed potato, his meal came 5 mins after everyone else's and with mash. We were still hungry but decided not to stay for desserts. The only good thing we had the benefit of the Government scheme to cover part of the bill. We will not be returning which is shame because this is local to us.

My husband and I visited he Bull and Dog pub at Coton yesterday for the first time, and we decided to try the restaurant as it was on the government’s 50% discount scheme. Because I have an allergy to onions of all kinds, I explained this to the man at the bar what my allergy was, and he was nice and polite and friendly. So I asked him if I could have fish with salad but with no dressings or sauces and he said definitely. When the meal arrived it came with a dressing on the salad and with onions, so I explained to the same gentleman that because of my allergy which I had explained to him myself, I could not eat the salad, so he took it away and brought the same fish and chips back but with tartare sauce! I explained to him that I could not eat this as It might have powdered onion in it, and he said we make it ourselves and it does not. But due to my FEAR of eating anything with onions in I said I am sorry I cannot have it on my plate. He grudgingly took it away and came back with the same meal. I said nothing as the chips were by then only warm and fish the same also and the so-called salad was only lettuce. Only lettuce! We had bought a bottle of Pinot Grigio, and on paying the bill we discovered it was a staggering £18.50! We shall NOT be returning to this restaurant again. The full price for the meal was £46, and we can eat in Telford or Shrewsbury for well under £30.

First time visit since moving to the area, great facilities, welcoming staff but very disappointed with the food which it’s ultimately all about.Fish and chips, very little fish inside over cooked thick batter, chips underdone so hard, gammon very salty but that’s the luck of the draw.We’re never asked if we enjoyed the food. Sorry but we won’t be back when the area around Whitchurch has some very good restaurants and pubs.

Visited on our last night of holiday on canal. We were recommended this place by the boatyard we moored at (Whixall) Warmly greeted by the owner and staff, served drinks and shown to table.The menu was very extensive with lots of choice for everyone. We chose soup, seafood cocktail and crispy beef which was one of the best starters we have ever eaten! Followed by gammon, sausages, cod (huge) and hubby ordered faggots which he said were excellent. For desert we had Eaton mess which was served with a choice of cream or ice cream (delicious) All food was freshly cooked, beautifully presented and served by a friendly waitress. The publican obviously has a sense of humour as the blackboards outside and inside clearly shows.We would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area and even worth a drive out.

We ate here on the last night of our holiday, having been recommended by the staff at the marina where we were moored. Really friendly reception from the staff and although there were only a few other diners the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Each of us had a starter and main meal. I had the fish and chips-a huge piece of fish, very fresh and lovely crispy batter would highly recommend. After eating that, didn’t think I could manage anything else but seeing Eton mess on the menu I’m afraid I gave in to temptation! So glad I did with loads of fresh cream and plenty of strawberries one of the best I’d ever had.The pub is obviously suffering from the fallout from COVID-19 and I would imagine when the restaurant is full and busy the atmosphere would be great.

This country inn with its warm welcome and cosy decor is a great place to enjoy Sunday lunch with family or friends. The meal was well presented and delicious. Good value and well served with a background of soothing live music. All in all a very pleasant lunchtime venue

Great sunday lunch. Food good. But just a note check your bill when you pay. We have been overcharged three times on visits

Our walking group met here for lunch. The welcome was great. We had pre ordered our food and even though we had to wait a little while, all the food came out together. No mean feat as there were 21of us eating. Absolutely no complaints. Would recommend this pub to anyone.

Called in today at the pub very busy well it was Boxing Day just had a beer and wine both nice great pub food looks great staff are very helpful good car parking on site the pubs around ten minutes away from Whitchurch

An absolute fantastic meal. Been here numerous times and never had a bad meal! Food today was exceptional, all well cooked, plenty of it and couldn't fault anything even if I wanted to. Have read a couple of the more negative reviews and can only think that they must have been to a different pub!!!

Myself And my family ate at this pub last night, I have to say it was fabulous, the staff could not do enough for us, we were 4 adults, 1 aged 3 and a 7 month old baby. The beer and wine was great. The food was super,plentiful, hot and delicious. I would recommend this pub to anyone and would call again if in the area (We live 2 hours away). There was a long fire that added to the Christmas festivities. Good service, friendly staff, overall a brill visit.

Amazing home cooked food! Called here on the way to hawkstone follies for tea. We ate, Thai red curry, beef brisket, and chicken supreme. Food and service was brilliant! And will definitely return when I’m the area again.

This is great pub to have lunch or dinner, plenty of charm and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The pie of the day was sumptuous with plenty of good quality meat, my brother in law had the faggots which he enjoyed very much. My sister had the duck which was cooked to a tee. The choice of desserts is very good and we all enjoyed our choices.

Visited The Dog and Bull Saturday Lunchtime and had a lovely meal So today we called in again today and thought it was was poor we had 2 courses each and it cost over £40 and definitely wasn't worth it Brie wedges just ok horrible thick funny tasty chips and a small piece of salty gammon with a finger of burnt pineapple ,prawn and avocado cocktail just poured over some lettuce and chicken curry just ok Such a shame when it had been so nice on Saturday

We've been coming here on and off for over ten years through several changes of management and differing standards of food and service! We can, however, now say that we come here probably on a weekly basis because the food is gorgeous, the service is great and the wine is lovely. Always a pleasant welcome, lots of regulars, dog friendly - a traditional country pub. So glad it's our local - keep up the good work and food!! That pork loin is to die for.

We called in for a drink and a snack. Wd waited ages for the food we ordered 1 onion rings, 1 cheesy chips and deep fried brie.

We have never been here before and we had been staying over in Wem for the night. This place was lovely. The locals were friendly, as were the staff and a lovely ambiance. We rang and booked a table 2 hours before arriving. Service was prompt, and the food was delicious. If anything the portions were too big for us!! Lovely evening and would certainly recommend highly.

£3 for a coffee not even a biscuit.

Menu quite extensive but not expensive, food well prepared and presented, nice traditional English pub just a few miles from Whitchurch.

We live fairly close by but have never been until recently we decided to venture along the North Shropshire country lanes to the pub. It is a pleasant setting, you order from the bar and service was fairly good. The food was excellent. I had locally made faggots, my wife had a fantastic steak. The portions were very good indeed! We have already said we will return.

Been several times as it's near to where we live. Most meals have been very average but one was not to the stanard I expect.

We visited at lunchtime today with 2 dogs. Friendly welcome, relaxed, laid-back barman and lovely spacious areas to sit. Food and service were excellent and afterwards we sat outside in the safely enclosed garden with play area and let the dogs chill. We cannot rate this highly enough. We all came away agreeing what a lovely time we had had and vowing to return soon. Well done!

This is our nearest pub - about 1 mile away from home and we should visit more often. We were put off by the food a couple of years ago but now changed owners and food is much better. Car Park was busy which is always a good sign. Food was traditional pub pub and good quality with friendly service. Will be coming back more often.

As pub food goes this is a good place to dine.
