Henry Tudor House in Shropshire

What a beautiful place, with fantastic food, hubby had the duck, he said was the best he had every eaten, I had the pork belly which also was delicious, the mulled cider was yum, service was good, did have to chase drinks, but was busy period, will definitely go back.

Had to wait a while as one chef was ill but made up for the wait with a free drink each

The food was ok but not good value for money as having to purchase additional vegetables for a Sunday roast meal is not good. The presentation was fair but underneath the beef was 1 carrot and 3 potatoes with lots of kale scattered around the dish. The staff were friendly but slow in service. One guest ordered a poached pear which was £7.50 and it was not cooked very well, hard to cut and overly expensive. We would not return here for a meal as better restaurants in town for less money. The Joules beer was the main positive for our visit.

Way too busy for me, wine and mulled wine was very nice. But 1 person serving behind the bar made the wait too long.

Dropped in by the off chance after the nauseating ales on offer over the road. First off maybe a better layout, its up and down, narrow and dimly Tudor lit. So much so its too dark by the bar to read the menu. One loo upstairs, amazed there wasnt a massive queu cinsudering place packed inside and out. Greeted, just had to try Joules Moon Madness. Almost a perfect pint, so sublime i had to refrain from drinking too quick.

Easily one of the best pubs in the country for character, food, style and atmosphere. The beer is cracking too ;) Recommend the Slumbering Monk.

We've been here several times over the last few months. Initially as it is a friends' local. We prefer the midweek atmosphere at the HT. Not so keen on the weekend. However, nice pub interior. Service good. Ales fine.

Beautiful historic venue, tastefully restored, great service, great beer, and a lovely atmosphere.

This is what an English pub should look and be like

Lovely meal with good cask ale.

Super super. I'd say 4 pubs make it into my all time favourites (railwayman in Bridgnorth, the barrels in Hereford, the victory in Hereford (only how it used to be with the brewery out the back, it's gone downhill now) and this Henry Tudor pub). Maybe I'm being a bit unfair to many of the other great pubs I've visited but the Henry Tudor feels like one of a kind. It's dark (in a nice cosy way), it's old, smells slightly woody and theres a lot of interesting history in the pub. Interesting displays such as the cigars and funny portraits of famous people in an old Tudor style. There's a log fire which wasn't in use during my visit. It's dog friendly and has a decent selection of ales (I had a pint of Dunkel, one of my favourite beer styles and it was a welcome treat). Well worth checking out.

Great venue for food and joules real ale. We had the pork belly ( with the best roast potatoes ) and pie which were both really tasty. Top service too 👌

Rude doorwoman an awful experience on Saturday evening. We were out with friends and whilst waiting for our husbands inside Henry Tudor we ordered drinks, we are longstanding customers.It was only 6pm and the pub wasn’t busy. A very rude blonde door woman refused our husbands entrance, even though they explained we were in the pub. They were left outside in the pouring rain. She was more interested in chatting to her friend leaning against a car. We had to leave our drinks and exit. When I challenged her she was aggressive and unprofessional. I am stunned that Joules pubs support this behaviour. We will not be returning again and the door woman needs customer service training she was horrid.

Amazing old coaching Inn, one of the oldest in Shrewsbury, The seating areas are so cosy, could of spent all day there !! So much historic detail to this place, plus a few interesting modern touches,, artwork throughout really cought the eye !! We sat in restaurant area to dine, bit more natural light to eat by,, The food really was fantastic,, Very well cooked & presented, Some of the best pub food we have tasted in a very long time,, The staff were very friendly and helpful, We had a marvelous visit,, really made our trip to Shrewsbury memorable,, Cheers to all involved,, 👍👍

They had a large booking in at the same time as us, the food was amazing the lady who I think was the manageress was amazing, our dessert took a while but we were happy to wait, definitely recommend this beautiful restaurant it was our sons birthday and we can't speak high enough, first visit but won't be our last. Thank you to all the team!

Brilliant old-worldly pub full of cosy nooks and crannies. Awesome beers and food. Only downside is the snailish staff.

Service would have got a lower mark (but the staff were very friendly and helpful) as it was incredibly slow, 15 mins for starter, (Terrine) which was awful, overpowering taste of black pepper so couldn’t taste anything else, 10 mins for main which was actually good (beef cheeks) 20 minutes for VERY disappointing dessert (chocolate mousse) which probably had a teaspoon of mousse in a chocolate shell for £10!) within this time it also took around 10-15 minutes twice for drinks we had ordered (margaritas which must have had 20ml of liquid in the glass) to be delivered to the table. Overall poor service, & vastly overpriced food and drinks, We WERE asked and we gave this feedback to the server who said she would pass it on. Would NOT recommend. For context this was a late birthday outing for a friend, we are both retired Chèf’s of some standing, I also, when I lived in Shrewsbury 10 years ago, had a beautiful and perfect wedding meal here, how things have changed. We passed several different places to eat in the walk to here and now wished we’d eaten in one of those. Nearly £110 for two people for this level of food and service was unacceptable. Would NOT recommend.

Great range of beers. Local brewery still independent.

The recent change to the menu wasn't helpful.

Lovely evening in this beautiful pub- delicious food and lovely helpful staff including security

Good selection of drinks, friendly staff & nice atmosphere in bar.

We had the most fabulous lunch at The Henry Tudor House. The rabbit starter was outstanding as was the game terrine. The mains of ox cheek and venison were delicious. And the fact that almost everything is gluten free options available is amazing! Price was excellent value for money. We had cheesecake and pear desserts. Both excellent! and the drinks were as expected in a Joules. Highly recommend. Excellent service, excellent food, excellent day!

This was my final stop for the Shrewsbury pub crawl. Amazing. Beautiful pub, rich in history it is like an attraction itself. And plus you can relax and chill with a pint. Or a few more. This is a Joules pub which I never ever had a bad experience with. Lots of lovely drinks to choose from. Highly recommended.

Had a really nice lunch here, would really recommend!

If you like medieval and Harry Potter or Oliver movies , you will love the interior of this pub , I was blown away by how they had kept the historic design , right down to a jail at the back that has been turned into seating alcoves in the restaurant! It was like stepping back in time .We had lunch and dinner here because it was so good . The staff are friendly and professional and made us very welcome , the food was amazing , they have a great chef . Will definitely be back .

What a lovely place! Imagine being in a place from the 15th century ❣️ great service! Must visit!

i was served by the lovely nancy who made the experience even better

Only had a drink. Lovely setting never sat in a former jail cell before. Staff friendly also. Could of had a couple more beers on tap

Pork confit was sooooo dry, very hard to swallow. I had to ask for gravy and sauce to be able to cut and chew it. Portions were very small for the price (~£20) with fries and greens to be added. Choc mousse was ~£10 for a teaspoon of choc mousse with a small dome of choc shell hiding it. Overall, would recommend many other places to eat in Shrewsbury over this place.

What a treat to discover this perfect pub! We stopped off for lunch en route to Wales, and spent a wonderful hour in the atmospheric surroundings of the Henry Tudor Inn, exploring the nooks and crannies, reading the informative boards on the walls filled with the history of the inn, admiring the regal pop star portraits (you'll have to drop in and see!) and eating their divine food. Service was so good - friendly and funny - and we will definitely come back to sample more local ales when we don't have to drive on.

The choice of ales are original, unique and great tasting. The food is beautiful. The place is a tardis, it looks tiny from the main road but you go inside and it just keeps getting bigger. I believe there are 3 floors with the upper floors being private function rooms. The feel of the place is so charming and lovely. I’m new to the area and I just keep going back to relax and soak the building up. Highly recommend.

Interesting interior with several areas to explore in relaxing atmosphere. Joules beers on tap and the usual lagers at typical prices for town centre. Guess could be very busy on the evenings!

Food was amazing. Service could not have been any better. Great funny portraits on the walls. Everywhere was clean and spot on.

This Sunday lunch with family was a little disappointing, it does seem to have gone off the boil since opening. We have eaten at The Henry Tudor a couple of times before inc. Sunday Lunch but this simply wasn't as good. We all had Roast Beef and the whole plateful at best just warm, with two very small bowls of veg, between four. One of the party requested a side order of Roast Potatoes, 4 small potatoes came in a dish. at an extra charge of £4.50 !!! In summary, the service was very good, the food disappointing.

A recent addition to the Jiules empire and another gem in a surprisingly large historic building. Good range of Joules beers. There are rooms in front and to the rear of the bar. Some very interesting pictures of famous "Tudor" people. Bar snacks plus an upstairs restaurant.

Great food, friendly staff and an amazing building. Me and the bitter half had a lovely meal and would recommend it to friends.

Loved this place.. Great place for a pint and a chat

Lovely old characterful building that's as inviting on the inside as it is on the outside. I couldn't pass this charming pub without calling in for a quick pint of bitter which was nice. Didn't have food on this occasion so can't comment, but I shall definitely be returning.

Unfortunately this ended up being such a disappointment to our trip as we were so looking forward to our evening here. First we got sat at the wrong table instead of the one we reserved....but were moved when we asked. Then sat 45 mins without so much as a drink order even though it wasn't all that busy. We had to go up and ask to be served and honestly think they forgot about us as the waiter just looked at me surprised. Once we ordered and got our starters we still sat for 20 more mins with no drinks (about an hour and 15 mins after we arrived )so had to go up and ask again for our wine..which is when the evening started to get annoying. When our mains finally arrived we were given a butter knife with the steak which was awkward and noone was to be found to get a knife that cut meat so we made do. Food was OK. The pie was very tasty. Steak was alright though the whole dish lacked flavour. When the bill came we were charged for wine, beers and sodas that we didn't have so once again had to get up and have that fixed as well. Mistakes happen, but the whole evening was a calamity of careless errors. Definitely felt like the staff needed a lot more training.

Great pub, drinks and building.

Wow, What a pub! We decided when we were there that it's easily a top 10 pub. I've been to many many pubs in my life but this will forever remain in my top ten. I'm not really sure how they could improve. Great beer, great atmosphere, incredible food and very welcoming and kind staff. We had two nights in Shrewsbury on our weekend away, spent both of them here 🤣.

Best beer I've ever tasted in the UK. I am very surprised and happy to have come across such high quality beer and food at a place I stopped by while on my way to Snowdonia. Definitely come back ❣️❣️

This pub has a great atmosphere cosy and warm , staff was great and pleasant

Beautiful designed interior and amazing food

Great little pub full of character. Didn't have food.

Stunning pub, a lovely cosy place to have a drink, but that's it! Food was average, expensive for what we had and portions were small. Also, why are there unisex toilets?! felt uncomfortable being there with men, who didn't use the toilet with the 'men' sign on the door and didn't wash their hands!!!

Food. Service and atmosphere were great!

Nicely adapted pub/restaurant. Food was really good and the service was polite and friendly.

We had my daughter's birthday party in the function room upstairs. An amazing space, superb atmosphere. Vee, on the bar, was fantastic. She kept everyone happy at the bar, served the food up and helped tidy up afterwards. She is a credit to the Henry Tudor and worked like a trooper. This is is a fabulous, historical building and ticked all the boxes. We can't recommend this venue enough.

Gorgeous building and warm atmosphere. This is a must-visit when exploring Shrewsbury. And to top it off, this has to be the best Sunday roast in Shrewsbury!

Quirky. Full of crooks and nannies 🤠

Great to see the finished experience after all the work that has been completed, only called in for drinks.

Very nice staff girl and very beautiful and historical place, they have a good choice of alcohol-free drinks, me and my sister had a ginger beer and sparkling elderberry, both very good!

Such a lovely pub/Inn with lots of amazing history. Bar staff super friendly. Drink cold and food is terrific. Love the jail cells in the back for seating.

Nice beer, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Not been before and didn't realise how big it was. Went right back through to what used to be the lion tap. Nicely done

Great pub . Lovely welcome by barman .great beer !

Disappointing evening drink every table covered in glasses not many customers and 1 hour later all tables still un touched the picture only shows a few tables it was throughout....

Service very slow but worth the wait, great ambience and the decor is amazing

Historic old pub in centre of Shrewsbury Good selection of real ales Renovated by owner to a high standard lots of little snugs and nooks for seating Also some nice outdoor seating when weathers good

The whole experience at Henry Tudor Inn was great! Me and my entire family loved it and would recommend this as a great place to eat and be together!

Beautiful looking historic pub. Great location. Nice staff. Problem is the food is extremely expensive and not to a high standard. I was very disappointed. Also the range of beers are poor. This place could be amazing.

Extremely friendly staff, great warm welcome and great customer service. Food reasonably priced, the Cod was lovely. Not so keen on the curry flavoured flat bread with hummus, it didn’t really go well together. I would eat here again and recommend to others

Went there today, with my friend, had some drinks and ordered flat bread and humus, how long it can take to bring these to a table, come on! Let's be honest! All I heard was, sorry we are very busy. After 30 minutes of waiting we had to leave, because there was no point in waiting for some bread and humus. What a joke. Told one of the girls at the bar to cancel my order, as we could not see the point on waiting any longer. Thanks God we have not ordered meals! We will never go back. Very poor service!

Popped in for a sneaky pint after a walk around Shrewsbury. Good selection of beers friendly staff and an amazing building. What more could you ask

Absolutely the worse meal I've ever eaten in my life. Can't believe the so called chef has ever had any kind of culinary training at all. Both my partner and my meals were inedible.

We just had a wonderful time here, drinks first, and a bite to eat after. Delicious food, a great decor and wonderful staff. Would visit again when in town.

Didn't have food here, but this has got to be the best Joules pub.

Great tasting food friendly staff and efficient service.

A fabulous atmospheric and historic Inn, with lots of its history documented on wall plaques, but as well as the great food, which was very reasonably priced, a highlight for us was the lady serving us our food got chatting and we mentioned it was our anniversary - next thing we know with a "you can't have an anniversary without a glass of fizz" two large glasses of fizz appeared on the house. Lovely touch from lovely staff.

Absolutely stunning place! Such an interesting interior! The food is fantastically delicious! We took the fish, it was the tastiest fish ever eaten in a pub! The service is very kind. I ordered a mango margarita. It was perfect! So maybe the food had to wait quite a long time, even though there were not many visitors. But it's definitely a place to come back to!

This is a fantastic pub with tasteful renovations. My friend Mary and I enjoyed our first visit so much that we returned the following and enjoyed our time in the little snug at the front of the building. The three guys we had the pleasure of looking after us were super friendly and made us very welcome. We shall definitely return on our next visit to Shrewsbury.

Sometimes there are places that surprise you. And in a percentage X that surprise is for the better. This place.... The waiter who served me couldn't be nicer and more professional. The space is amazing. But the food is... It's... ...Explosively delicious. I recommend 200%. A great pleasure since I haven't tried such magnificent homemade fries in years.

Service from Georgia and Jess couldn't be faulted. Food very enjoyable too. We will be back.

Good place for a meal with friends There is plenty of history about the Tudor Inn .

Beautiful building with some very nice beers.

Definitely worth a visit for a drink whilst in Shrewsbury.

Had the beef pie my daughter and granddaughter never had the strength to eat it , it was dry and very tuff so they left the lot offered me £5 off the pill well that wasn’t going to happen so only paid for drinks and one meal, Italian restaurant next time.

Really interesting place to relax in, great range of drinks and friendly staff

The only vegetarian option for Sunday roast dinner was pretty sad. Small portion, dry, and no roast trimmings

Lovely place, quick friendly service although didn't eat.

We came for lunch on a Thursday afternoon. As it was so hot we didn’t fancy a big meal so ordered some dishes from the starter menu instead. My partner had the Slumbering Monk rarebit and chicken liver parfait and I had the artisan cheeseboard. All was delicious. Probably the best rarebit we have ever had, the bread was crispy and the topping was flavourful without being overpowering. The chicken liver parfait was smooth and creamy and served on a brioche bread, also very good. The cheeseboard was very good value and plenty of selection. The candied walnuts were absolutely delicious. This is a cracking pub and should be on everyone’s list when visiting Shrewsbury.

Beautiful surroundings nice little cute place service fab deffo come back

Great food and vibe, there were 3 servers for our 4 booths though which meant getting asked repetitive questions.

Great shop. Delicious beer and really great service. Very nice. We come from Germany and like to come back here 🥳✌🏻

What a cornucopia of sheer pleasures from fabulous food to a perfect selection of drinks. We booked in for a Sunday lunch which was excellent. Succulent meats and fresh veg a plenty. Wisely, each Sunday lunch comes with fabulous homemade Yorkshire puddings. Every course was delicious and the service impeccable without being over bearing. The decor is a monster mash of old and new which works brilliantly. Quirky and fun! Glad we tried it, we will be back to try the main menu.

Just called in for a pint when recently visiting Shrewsbury. The chap behind the bar was really friendly and professional, plus recommended a few places to visit 👍 the pub was really historic, quirky and I liked the decor, a gem! Thanks team

Went in for a drink. Great building very quirky with lovely decoration and ornaments on show. Very friendly staff, good selection of drinks. Sorry to say i didn't take any photos, but one of the nicest pubs i have ever been in. Food menu looked very interesting. Would definitely be back recommend a visit.

Decent boozer nicely tucked away

I really enjoy the interior decor and they now do frozen cocktails for summer, personal favorite.

Just been in for drinks a couple of times but great atmosphere, really quirky place and very friendly staff:)

Great selection of beers & atmosphere

My partner and I went to the Henry Tudor Inn for a Sunday roast. We both agreed that the food was excellent: succulent slices of roast beef, crispy roast potatoes, large homemade Yorkshire puddings and perfectly cooked vegetables, all smothered in rich gravy. The atmosphere at the Henry Tudor inn in is cosy. The staff were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable and very considerate of my dietary needs. If you're looking for a nice place to eat with a chill vibe, this place is an absolute gem!! I don’t usually write reviews but I felt my experience was particularly deserving of one.

One of my favorite pubs in town. You can tell there’s a lot of attention to detail when it comes to all the decor and the overall vibe. So many interesting details, every room is very well designed and it really makes you feel like you’re in an old pub. Moody lighting, calm vibe and lovely food.

Fabulous pub, great atmosphere, really excellent, attentive service and great food

The pub has a really nice atmosphere and the staff were also welcoming. Food was also very good. I'd highly recommend the cod with chorizo sauce :)

We stumbled upon this pub and fell in love with the Tudor building, not only from the outside, but inside too. We visited around lunchtime for a quick pint, and then decided to come back for dinner- we were certainly NOT disappointed! Sitting at table 4, below a Tudor-esque portrait of David Bowie, we had a starter of breads with oil and balsamic, with Battered Haddock with Chips and the Venison sausages- the best mash I have ever eaten in my life. This place is steeped in history and the staff are so welcoming. A fantastic pub that we'd recommend to everyone!

Stunning place but staff aren't knowledgeable or helpful. They've been advertising what looks like an amazing iced cocktail and really wanted to try them. I asked for a mixed one the lad didn't know what I was on about. I shown him the advertisement that was literally on the bar and was told they didn't have that. Asked what cocktails they did and was told any I wanted and when I asked for certain ones I got the answer "we dont do that". Asked for a lager..... "We don't do that" rather than just giving us a drinks menu or helping us choose. Took forever for our drinks to come over and we soon left. Not going to hurry back which is a shame

Came in about 3 weeks ago with my partner for lunch, wasn’t sure of the menu but noticed they had 3 to offer which was nice, ended up going for the burger and my partner had the caprese sandwich and said it was the best sandwich she’s ever eaten. My burger was full of flavour and the fries were really really good, definitely recommend!

Staff are so welcoming and friendly, the food has so much taste to it such great value for money. The atmosphere and history of the place is something you will not want to miss out on. Overall sensational experience dining here. Would definitely recommend

Would've got 5 stars because the food was brilliant and the setting inside the pub was great. Unfortunately, the service let the side down. Nothing wrong with the staffs attitude, they were friendly and pleasant.....but they seemed to forget about us. It was a Sunday afternoon booking and they weren't busy at all. But it took quite a while before we got served. Starter and main were fine, but after they brought the dessert menu, they disappeared, never to return. And again, they weren't busy at all. Tbh, we could've got up and walked out without paying if we wanted since there was no-one around, but we did find someone to settle up. If the staff had their act together more I would've given this place 5 stars.
