This was the second time I went for bottomless brunch and both times were poor. The cost is very expensive compared to most bottomless brunch. Nearly £40 for 3 small dishes and basic drinks to have cocktails you pay an extra £14.95! Definitely not worth the money. All food was pre ordered yet some dishes were missed but the response from staff was rude stating someone must have eaten them yet there were people that were part of the group that had only had 1 dish. I had a bowl of rice brought out that probably sat there for about 15 minutes before the katsu curry came out so the rice was cold. Considering the food was pre ordered it should have been more organised. I also find that the staff hate groups who do bottomless brunch they think people should sit there quietly which is never going to be realistic for that sort of party. Absolutely don’t believe a group should be rowdy but having a laugh should be allowed. Just feel that staff need to smile and have a lesson in customer service and not look down on people. Jack was great though both times been polite and friendly so thank you.

I booked Bombos for a Friday night birthday meal & drinks. As there was 17 people going I booked a private room upstairs. Amazing service from making the booking to the night itself. Bombos was really accommodating, food was really tasty and the cocktails were delicious. The service was brilliant, made sure we always had drinks and the food was served as soon as it was ready. All the staff were amazing and Eddie who dealt with my booking was very responsive and very accommodating. If you're looking for a good night out with friends for some tasty food and drinks then look no further. Would highly recommend. Will definitely be going again!

After discovering Bombos during lockdown and being WOWed by the food I’ve been desperate to get to the restaurant for a meal out. Last night was that chance and we were NOT let down. My partner decided she wanted small plates so me being me and my obsession for Japanese/korean food I sent her over the menu and much to my glee she said yes. We arrived around 18:30 and it was lovely and quiet, friendly staff and we placed our order: gochujang bao, crispy chilli beef, Yakitori chicken, crispy pork belly bites, chicken gyoza, egg fried rice and fries. We were both blown away by just how much we enjoyed it, everything was so good and we only wish we’d ordered more. We spend a good portion of the evening talking about what we’d try the next time we go. It’s a lovely casual setting that has a great atmosphere as it fills up, the food is great and the prices are really good. We will be back very soon.

Unfortunately our experience of visiting Bombos for lunch was quite poor. We came on a Monday to use the Eat Out To Help Out government initiative, something we have done earlier this month to help support local restaurants. As I understand the scheme, it's quite simple: you can order anything except alcoholic drinks, from any menu Monday-Wednesday. However, on sitting down at our table in the reasonably dark and cold restaurant, we were told by the waitress that we couldn't order from the lunch menu using this offer. On asking why, we were told that she'd been informed by the owner that if the EOTHO offer were used in conjunction with the lunch menu the restaurant wouldn't break even on the end cost of the meal. We were pretty incredulous given this reasoning. I mean it makes no sense however you look at it! The restaurants get the 50% discount back from the government, so it's no loss to them. Why hadn't the restaurant informed us of this when we booked? We should've left at this point because a restaurant that comes out with nonsense like this clearly isn't operating within the spirit that this scheme is supposed to be encouraging. Added to this were the dishes the waitress listed that weren't available - is there a less welcoming way to greet diners than by telling them half the menu is not eligible for a perfectly valid offer and then informing them which dishes are off the menu?The food itself took a long time to come out - around 40 minutes from ordering. When it did come, only some of it arrived. We finished this and then waited with empty plates and rising blood pressure for the rest to arrive. Unfortunately the food was very average: at best nothing to write home about, at worst just not very good (the "spicy" salmon maki, which was not spicy at all and made with very poor rice). One other thing - on the front of the bar is a poster declaring words to the effect that 'this business is doing everything it can to keep customers safe'...but the waitresses weren't even wearing face masks (unlike in, say, Csons where we ate lunch last week)! So I have to say, a very poor experience and not one we would wish to repeat.

Only downside was when we came to order dessert we were told the kitchen was closed! Would have appreciated being told upon booking or ordering that the kitchen closed at 3 so we could have ordered our desserts when we got there, or even made an earlier booking. The churros-type pudding was the main reason we wanted to eat there so we left a bit disappointed!

A lovely first meal out since March! We ordered from the lunch menu which is excellent value at 3 courses for £12.50, although was a little disappointed that they didn't have one of the starter options (there are only 3 choices for each course, although that isn't necessarily a bad thing!). The food arrived promptly despite them also being busy with outside tables. The katsu curry main was slightly under seasoned but all dishes were tasty and fresh. I had a cocktail which was beautifully presented and delicious. The staff were attentive and the appropriate hygiene measures seemed to be in place. Overall a great visit and would definitely return.

We had a party of nine, 4 were children and the table was booked for 7.30. Our Waitress took orders for food before 8pm. I chased how long the food would be just after 8.30,at that point we were advised that all food would come out together our starters and mains. We were not advised at the time of ordering that all food would come out together otherwise I don't think we would have ordered starters. In the end we actually had the mains before starters which didn't arrive until 8.45 We were then told at just after 9.30 that children were not allowed in after 9.30(which I fully appreciate) however our food was late coming out. What should have been an enjoyable night celebrating our childrens birthdays aged 11, 13 and 16, i left being made feeling very uncomfortable.

Having heard all the hype about the latest new venue to pop up in Shrewsbury, Bombos of late has become somewhat of a regular stop for me in my less than frequent trips into town. A nice little bar with a cool atmosphere and very welcoming staff has meant that Bombos is definitely a place I chose to go when I fancy meeting some friends for a quick drink (or even an extended one!)Whilst my days of being out every weekend are now well past me I have been out a few times and had very different experiences. I have been whilst on a Christmas party, for late afternoon drinks and also for coffee and a catch up at Lunch. Each time showing a different side to this cool new venue. But when I rocked up to see my friend and he suggested going to Bombos for food I was a little surprised as I hadn't previously taken much notice of the menu on offer! But never the less I always like to try out new food venues and jumped at the chance to taste the menu!We wandered down early afternoon for a late lunch and were greeted to quite a busy venue, not surprising with Christmas around the corner, not to mention it being a Saturday!... On arrival the friendly bar staff welcomed us and showed us to our seats a we proceeded in some friendly conversation.Having never eaten at Bombos before I didn't, in all honesty, know what to go for! My friend on the other hand was an expert and suggested we get a few bits to share from across the menu to go with our mains (ordered off the main menu). We kicked things off with a couple starters before our mains, which arrived quickly and tasted really nice. The portions were just right too which meant you didn't lose your appetite for the mains! An issue I have found at some venues. Despite not being vegan, when it came to the mains I went for the vegan option... I know right.. but it was amazing! I was so happy with my choice. Whilst my friend went for fish (I think it could've been salmon or something, I forget!). We also shared some sushi (unbelievably good, portion size also very very good) and also some Jumbalia which was a perfect accompaniment to our dishes. We tucked in and WOW! It was unbelievable, we finished it off in record time, we barely spoke or came up for air (slight exaggeration but you get the idea)! Though we both had time to share our dishes with each other. All of this washed down with a couple blackcurrant and sodas... It was still early! A bit too early for my friend who was also on the coffees!After the meal we stayed and chatted for quite a while and continued on with our soft drinks. At no point unlike some other places did we feel like we were being rushed out, the staff left us to our devises, but also came over for an occasional chat. Before we left we just had enough time to thank the chef and his team for an excellent meal and to wish them luck over the busy Christmas period. This was hands down the best meal I have had in Shrewsbury that year (2019). Which considering the time of year, it being a new venue and the size of the venue is quite incredible.All in all, I already can't wait for my next venture into town and to share this excellent venue with one of my friends so that they too can experience this wonderful venue and it's amazing food and drinks menus. Big mention must go to the staff who from the chef to the bar staff make the experience what it is. Especially during the busy Christmas period, I for one know how stressful it can be.10/10 a must visit in Shrewsbury.

We attended Bombos on Saturday 28th Dec around 8pm there was just 3 of us. On entering the premises we were asked if we had reserved, eating or just drinks. We were only wanting a cocktail to start our evening so replied drinks. We were then told all tables were all reserved and requested to go into the cellar area. The steps were narrow and steep and once down it was just that a cellar with a few stools and tables and the gas canisters for company. Not the atmosphere we were after. We sat reviewed the menu and waited..... Looking at each other we decided that on this occasion not for us! Waitress looked surprised as we reimerged but did nothing to enquire why we left I feel that a lot of work on front of house is required I felt that we were not welcomed in anyway we were not even given a chance to view the bar before being ushered into the cellar. I cannot comment on food or drinks as we sampled neither. I hope that things improve and that we may try again

My husband and I, being huge fans of japanese food, were very keen to try Bombos. Unfortunately the experience was not what we hoped for. Firstly the food took over half an hour to arrive despite the restaurant only being half full. We ordered the sushi and dim sum platter for £24. I fully agree with another review on here that was written by a couple that attend on the same monday lunchtime we did: the sushi rice was bland and soggy. Perhaps it was just a bad batch but it should have been chucked. Our buns were soft but I suspect that some of the items on the platter are cooked from frozen. Another small note is that the restaurant is very small with almost no room for prams. If you want good sushi then there are far more authentic Japanese restaurants in Shrewbury

My fiancée and I love trying new food experiences and prefer to support independent local businesses over high street chains. Following the reviews on TripAdvisor Bombos seemed like a must visit for us. Having visited during a Monday lunchtime we were excited to try a Sushi & Dim-sum Platter for two. However, we wished we hadn’t as the food was a complete disappointment. The Maki and California rolls were very bland with the sushi rice having little/no seasoning and lacking the traditional sticky texture. The single bite we both took of the Char Sui Buns almost required us both seeking emergency dental treatment; they were inedible due to being rock hard (photo included). Far from the the soft and fluffy steamed buns expected. We reported this upon paying for the meal and the member of staff took 10% off the bill which was a welcome gesture but we both felt further discount would have been more appropriate considering the cost and lack of quality we experienced. Perhaps this was just an off day, the rest of the reviews would suggest that was the case but Bombos is not for us. All the best!

The very worst dining experience despite high hopes. Three pints of larger were so badly delivered by a waitress to my table that all 3 tipped into my friend’s lap.
