Montgomerys Tower in Shropshire

I had a all day brunch and it was horrible the beans was stone cold three fork fulls, bacon was under cooked i was kids portion 12 chips.

WORST WEATHERSPOONS IN THE WORLD. Please did NOT come here, go anywhere else. The customer service and food here is probably the worst you will ever experience.

Cheap beer and food, what more do you want. Cool place to be....oh yeah the staff aren't bad either.

Staff are rude and had to wait over 30min to get served seemed they wanted to sort there own friends out first. If you want to get served go to main bar and not the club side as staff really appalling.

Really poor service never again

Well done spoons, always good. 😀

I normally goto the other spoons in Shrewsbury, first time at this one. Its quite a big pub. they had two flat (box) ciders on, food was good. would come again

Appallingly bad staff who will actively ignore you when you attempt to order, awful microwaved greasy food you wouldn’t feed to a dog, vomit covered toilets and crawling with alcoholics and addicts who huddle together and drink themselves to death pretty much all day. I appreciate this sounds like most Wetherspoons across the country but this place is a special type of bad, steer clear of management in particular as well as the bouncers who are always looking for any opportunity to pile in and cause a scene. There’s names of staff members who were particularly bad when I last visited that I won’t mention as this a public forum. In order to improve, may I recommend Wetherspoons promptly close this place and subsequently raise it/burn it to the ground as places like these give Shrewsbury a bad name!

Took ages for any member of staff to come to the counter to take our orders and by that point the queue was 5 people deep. Drinks had multiple black specs in them due to a cleaning issue which held things up a great deal. Food served was extremely poor with small servings, a single tiny mushroom and a single tablespoon of peas, undercooked chips, etc. it then took ages for anyone to open the disabled toilets after we requested three times.

Ordered steak - it was better than the last one I had at a steakhouse!!

Brillent prices ,breakfast £2:49p with tea or coffees

A really good breakfast, very good 👍 value

The food was OK, not brilliant but very good value for money. I use the app to order the food which came very quickly but it took ages to sort out downloading the app and getting connected. The pub was lively with lots of people in my main reason for dropping a star was the air conditioning was blasting cold air which made it a little uncomfortable. On the hole not a bad location to have a simple meal, but I can't say it was outstanding.

Great Spoons by the river and town

Can't rate food as didn't have any. Couple of tables out front is possibly their beer garden. Good amount and selection of table and chairs inside. Friendly helpful staff. Love a spoons! 🍻

Very good place to visit and eat the staff very friendly and helpful and food was excellent and well worth the price would definitely go again

If you asked me 12 months ago the review would of been far better, it's good value but the quality has dropped with the food in recent months

Nice big, modern Spoons. Upstairs toilets, obviously..

Food was freezing cold had to send two meals back. Chips missing off the mixed grill as well. Servers were good but the kitchen staff need to be ashamed of themselves they are not checking the food before it leaves the kitchen. Gordon Ramsey would shut it down. Absolutely awful

It's a Weatherspoons! Just didn't fancy the menu, so went somewhere else 😕 plenty of choice in Shrewsbury.

Ordered two children’s sausage and chips and two lasagna and salads , had to send both lasagna’s back as they were stone cold !! What’s happened to a temperature probe in this establishment? The waitress said she would get them heated up , when she returned them the plates were very hot from the microwave but the lasagna was still only warm in the middle!! This experience has definitely put us off returning here for food.

After cancellation of our dinner table, we popped in to Montgomery Tower because we know that we can rely on wetherspoons. This is a bright and breezy wetherspoon eatery not usual one like other spoons. Very clean and tidy, music is on which I didn't experience in any other Spoon. Quite impressive building and atmosphere inside and having big seating area. We been at bar counter but there's no one to get our order. Haven't seen any staff even you can see in my photos. They're working like Casper ghost😜. Usual food menu and quality but cheap and cheerful grub. Prices are pocket friendly. Our meals were good and the staff who served us, she was friendly. Enjoyed our dinner and drinks.

Lovely food and chilled meals for a family of 4

Food and atmosphere always great and a very nice cold Guinness, top marks Weatherspoons.

Quite a pleasant surprise to find this hidden gem just off the beaten track, it's clean, comfortable and the staff are friendly and efficient.

I met with work colleagues here on a Saturday afternoon for drinks. The range and cost of drinks here are surprisingly vast and low priced. The decor inside needs a refurb, as it's very dark and just dated. We did have a meal which came with a drink, but understandably it wasn't the best as the price is too low. However it's a great spot to meet for drinks.

Really nice and relaxed. Food was awesome and the drinks were spot on.

We visited Wetherspoons at about 6.30 on a Wednesday the pub was pretty busy we soon ordered drinks and then food,I ordered the all day brunch with a pint of Stoward Cider all for £11.50 excellent value,the food arrived within 20 minutes and was ever so tasty.When we are next in the area I will try a bit of all day brunch again.

Was very busy didn't eat there but was served quickly

Very bad experience Saturday evening. Ordered burger with chips at £12.00 Burger was dried out and overcooked with no salad, and the quantity of chips was laughable. I asked a waitress to look at my plate and asked if it was a mistake, to which she replied, patronisingly, if you ask me properly, I will bring you more chips. I will never eat there again!

PlaCe ok food we had wasn't very good,I've had better there a while ago,shame.

Bubbly atmosphere for a quick lunch. This pub is next to a college and gets lots of students. It can be pretty busy, but service is always prompt.

Went in on a Saturday night, definitely for the kids to go drink

Visited about 3.30, one part of bar was shut and only one serving at the other.Normally beer is relatively good but the Abbot ale was nearly at the point of being sent back and definitely needed more staff.

Fantastic value for money and love ordering from the app.

Two members of staff visited our table but neither cleaned the layer of salt left by the previous guests. Service was quick although we only had drinks

Nice seated area. Good selection of beers

Friendly zone, efficient and also a busy venue

Love it here, the food is amazing for the money and the staff are really friendly and very helpful 😀

Over from Spain for a few days. Thought the prices reasonable and the ordering method etc efficient. Food very nice. So why on earth does "Head Office" who obviously don't live in real world and are pure Rules and Regs people insist that the only thing the unavailable eggs can be swapped for is two more Hash Browns?! The breakfast already comes with 3 of the bloody things. Who on earth wants 5 hash browns? My common sense suggestion of swapping in a couple of mushrooms was met with "Sorry its policy". So we cancelled the entire order and went to Ploughboy. This sort of mindless policy is destroying businesses.

At night, Montys has a younger demographic. Thats not a bad thing, it just means that at 10pm on a Saturday, anyone over 35 might feel a bit like a nonce hanging out there. But that insecurity is all in your head, and you're only as young as you feel, so get out there and show them how they partied in the 1860s, Grandad.

Ordered fish and chips 2 portions fish absolutely terrible over cooked and full of grease tasted like old oil put it in container to take home for animals did tell one of staff he said he tell manager ,never seen manager,he never even asked what problem was,think he needs retraining very disappointing compared to other wetherspoon pubs I have been to

Went here on Sunday before bank holiday, the bar staff very rude, the food was under cooked, The burger I thought was for a child and not for an adult, won't be going their again,

A nice clean spacious Spoons. Good price and service as per 👍

Bar staff miserable, unable to smile or interact with customers

It's a "Spoon's" so hard to beat on value. The only downside was they had run out of fish and chips which is a cardinal sin. Decent enough place though

Cheap and cheerful as are all Wethers. Sometimes it's a crèche during the daytime.

After travelling and walking around all morning, my partner and I, along with our 2 year old, our friends and their dog. Had decided to sit outside this pub, order drinks and food and then was told to leave as dogs were not allowed OUTSIDE the pub. We were all tired and hungry and fed up. I have never heard of anything more ridiculous than saying dogs are not allowed outside of a pub?!

Great food and great prices on everything and really nice staff even though it’s really busy’ Perfect for families as very kiddy friendly and no long waiting for food 👌

Great breakfast, value for money.

Up there amongst the better Wetherspoons establishments I've been in so, yeah, a positive review from me. Only slight negatives were pretty insignificant - (i) ordering via the app, my table number wasn't listed (so I went for the next nearest table number, and kept an eye out for my food/drink heading my way); and (ii) service seemed a little bit slow (but I did have a train to catch which may have made me feel as if it were slow. Ordinarily, I wouldn't have minded). Either way, both pretty insignificant issues on my part, maybe borne out of my own internal anxieties!!

Always a good meal, value for money is excellent. Waiting staff always helpful.

Food is amazing, the service is amazing, and overall, it's just a lovely place to eat or watch football! I definitely recommend it! 👌☺️

Montgomery's tower is a really good wetherspoons. There was a wide range of beers, lagers, and cider, including about six different hand pulled real ales. The staff were friendly and the service was very quick. The real ales we tried were in excellent condition. The food was good. The stake was cooked perfectly and very tender.

Typical weatherspoons, cheap beer

OK place to visit didn't have to wait to long I would recommend this place.

Same as you would expect from any Wetherspoons pub. Good value, okay atmosphere.

We didnt eat in here so cant comment but we had a few drinks and like always in weatherspoons alot cheaper prices in these days where inflation going up & up

Called in and had a nice breakfast.

Very busy but nice and clean quick service friendly staff . Going back soon.

It’s your standard JDW venue, albeit a little bit party-timed up, big long bar (2 actually, 1 in each ‘room’), friendly staff and since it was Beer Festival time some ‘exotic’ ales to sample. I do like the option of thirds of a pint, but disappointed these have to be in multiples of 3 to equal a pint - 4 festival ales on so to sample them all you can’t do it in thirds. Hey ho, First World Problems and all that. They do what they do very well, it’s proper MOR hospitality and ticks plenty of boxes

We had a wonderful waitress named Siobhan who made all the difference to our experience. When she wasn't serving, tidying, and being helpful she was outside, 5 degrees, sweeping and replacing smokers chairs, what a hard working woman. Well done Siobhen

We had a lovely time, one of the staff members (Joe, ginger with tatoos and piercings) was absolutely amazing. He was on the ball and very helpful

absolutely terrible service woman threatened to kick us out when she got our order wrong

Breakfast is good and reasonably priced food

Very big place great selection of Beers wines spirits service was slow as only seen one person behind bar of which their or two.

Nice art deco setting. Very clean. Good sevice. Very reasonably priced. I recommend unicorn and lemonade gin.

We popped into the pub for a bite to eat and found the Valentines Day offer and decided to go with that. We both had the steak mains and did not have long to wait. The food was excellent and the service was brilliant. I have the apple crumble, and my wife had the Chocolate Brownie as the sweet, and both of us had a pint of Cider to drink. All for £25. We could not fault anything, and the lady who served us was fantastic. A great day out.

Very impressed. Lovely friendly place. Great food

Only gave a 3 star as I was driving that day. A bit modern compared to normal spoons. Would like to go when I'm not driving.

Felt so old in there full of teenagers.

Weatherspoons. First time in this particular establishment. Not to be confused with the Weatherspoons at Shrewsbury Hotel which has polite and interested staff. 2 separate bars apparently in the Montgomery Tower Weatherspoons Waited for 10 mins being completely ignored by a member of staff on her phone. Told by another customer about second bar around the corner. Surly bar staff (male), no eye contact, advised us " No staff so other bar not open. When questioned he stated that "they were not allowed to put a notice on the bar advising to use other bar" After seeing several other customers waiting I myself advised them of the second bar. Come on Weatherspoons look lively. Sort your staff out. Someone somewhere must care about the customer.

After my last review, I wanted to give this place, a second chance, was no way, I was going to order food after last time (the review is also on TripAdvisor), but it seems the problems with the food are still there, as every table around us had a problem with their food. Cold Curry, undercooked food, missing items.  So we just ordered drinks (hoping their wasn't a hair in the drink this time) after placing our order and paying for it, the drinks went to the wrong table, as the table numbers arent set up correctly, when we did get the drinks, we were asked for id, I showed my driving licence and friend said she had a copy of her passport or a PASS card, which are acceptable proof of id, she asked which one she wanted to see and the reply from the staff was, real passport or driving licence only. I said if your not going to accepted her Id, we will have a refund for the drinks, she said okay and walked off, after 5 minutes, we went to the bar to see where the refund was and was told you can't have a refund for no id. That would of been nice to know (no customer service at all) after being told 'okay' to a refund. So I said I would have both the drinks, not wanting two alcohol drinks, which is  'irresponsible' if it “encourages, or seeks to encourage, a person to buy or consume a larger measure of alcohol than the person had otherwise intended to buy or consume. So this has been reported. I then bought a orange juice for my friend and the manager said if she drinks that alcoholic drink, we will throw you out, (what sort of customer service is that)?, The manager was then watching us for the whole time we were there, after we had finish, went to the weatherspoons around the corner and she had a drink, no id asked, but she asked if a photo of a passport or a PASS card is acceptable proof of id and they said of course it is. She then finally enjoyed her drink.  The staff here really need training on everything, as their don't have a clue.

Good prices, food reasonable and the footy was on. Few too many kids for my liking though, quite noisy

LIZ, what an amazing woman, so sweet and kind and made our night 10x better. what an angel!!!! will definitely be coming my back to see that amazing woman!!!!!

Liz Griffiths is the most nicest and respectful member of team you’ll ever meat ,Made us feel at home here! She respected us and helped us out with customer service so lovely and really helpful thank you Liz for being u

Cheap drinks. Good atmosphere. Foods good value too.

Another Spoons, does what it says on the tin

One of the top spoons I have been in

Popped on for a couple of drinks, enjoyed our visit 🤗

Went with my daughter and son in law for breakfast. Surprise surprise all 3 breakfast were cold even the beans.

Food was ok. Drinks were good. Service was friendly and fast. Lovely chat with the waitress. Has a good atmosphere. Ok for a snack and a few drinks to start off the night .

Really nice size Wetherspoons and atmosphere is good... Bar staff need to watch who is next in line when there are only a few people waiting and not busy other than that nice staff, nice food, nice place.

Called in as part of a large group for a drink only, made to feel unwelcome by surly member of staff.

Excellent food at very good prices.Staff very helpful.

Miserable service miserable food. Tried to leave but my feet kept getting stuck to the carpet

A lovely Wetherspoons! Not sticky and tatty. Great food and venue!

Met three friends for a catch up / pre Christmas munch. We chose a table by the windows - nice to have views of the world & local characters going by. Three of us went for pizza meal deals (mine was about £9.67 with a drink). I had a garlic mushroom brie one - meant to be 11 inch, but it was bigger (a bonus). They all looked bigger! It was delicious; freshly cooked, not tough, or doughy, just right! I genuinely enjoyed it. I believe the others were enjoyed also. Service was excellent, we didn't have to wait too long. Easy to order (at the bar). Only maybe negatives might be a family with a young child who wanted to scream occasionally at the next table - a bit ear piercing, but it couldn't be helped. They tried their best to convince them not to be so loud. And the table in the other side was just a bit too close maybe - a gent there on his own had to move one of our chairs to get past occasionally. Once settled, he seemingly listened to music on headphones, but was then humming / singing quietly to himself half the time... I had to bite my lip not to laugh out loud, because when he did this, it was clearly out of tune, like a sketch from a comedy show. It's things like this that make life interesting though, so I'm not complaining! Free entertainment! Would recommend! I'm sure we'll go back again one day, just as we have in the past, to the same table. Probably next Christmas as we rarely find time to all meet up together!

One ladies toilet in full working order.... The rest flooded or no door! Can't fault the food but ate before visiting the toilets, wouldn't have eaten if I'd gone before. Disgusting and discraceful, worrying to think how it must be at weekends.

Coffee machine not working. Staff refunded money without question...

Meal, we just dropped in and looked at the menu good choice, We selected from small dishes, Ham, egg chips, With a Beer, less than £15 for 2 Bargain, plenty really for a light snack,

Lovely manager jodie very helpful and eager to help Defiantly be coming back again

Quite regularly meet for work 'get togethers' here, we aren't from town but often travel in

Popped in for breakfast, typical weatherspoons food, reasonable food at a low price. Can't argue with that.

Wetherspons is on the down not just here. Smaller dishes with cool over done food

Have stopped here twice now, either going on holiday or on our way home. There is a pay to park car park opposite. Really enjoy the small veggie breakfast. Their veggie sausages are really delicious .

It's a Wetherspoons. The food is cheap, the alcohol is cheaper. It's good for a night out too.

Practical place, not best beer neither best food but accessible and fair

We had a work lunch here this week and it was quite busy being half term. Service was good although one of our party had to wait longer. To be expected at busy times but the food was good.
