Nags Head Pontesbury in Shropshire

We visited the Nags while on a short break at a local glamping site, we intended to visit a different pub each night of our stay however we ended up going back for the rest of our stay. Both food and beer were excellent the menu was varied and after ordering the food arrived quickly. The staff were efficient and pleasant We never made it past the main course as the portions were large, I can recommend the Nags Head bitter and the Thai crispy beef salad, all in all an excellent pub well worth a visit

Staff need training to serve correctly and not lean over customers. Food was ok, cooked well, simple but I thought on the pricey side.

Visited for lunch and was struck by the friendly welcome, decent ales and above all, delicious food. Those providing negative reviews appear to be sharing experiences of visiting at far busier times than we did. Food is freshly prepared and customers shouldn’t be surprised by slightly longer waits when there are larger groups. As for us, we like to avoid such crowds and the ambience of a quieter lunchtime visit suited us to the ground. Thank you to the staff for a fine experience, we will certainly return soon!

Used to love this place but it needs some serious improvement. Beer was warm and did not taste as it should. Food portion sizes, and general quality, are shocking for the prices. I know eating out is expensive now but compared to other local eateries we were very disappointed. There was no warm welcome, staff seemed as if they didn't want to be there. Tables outside were not all on the level and some were in a very sorry state. It's such a shame as it's such a lovely pub, but come on! Make an effort please!

Went with friends to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we arrived and ordered some drinks and advised a young lady that we were booked in for 7.30and a table of four , she couldn’t find a booking and spoke with another lady behind the bar and she said that we could be fitted in. (No apologies ) Our friends arrived and I went to the bar and ordered there there drinks , one of them was a pint of beer that was warm , not wanting to complain I returned to the bar and asked a young man for some ice he obliged. No offer to change but my friend was happy to use the ice . We ordered our food and this took some time to arrive and I actually noticed people who arrived after us getting there food first , but perhaps because they were a table of two . Food arrived and we were asked if we needed anything else and two of us asked for ketchup. I’ve got to say at this point the food was delicious and I’ve not any issues whatsoever with the food. So we were only giving x2 napkins and then a gentleman ( who we later found out to be the manager) asked how was the food “all good thanks “ and we asked him for some more napkins he brought them over and one of the party asked for ketchup as it had still not arrived, his response was “ why didn’t you say that before as it would have save another journey “ not really the response we were expecting considering we had requested it previously., Then when we received the ketchup I’d eaten half of my meal thankfully I didn’t want any as we we received a tiny amount probably a teaspoon certainly not enough for two people. My friend went to get some more drinks and was ignored by the bar staff and when he was finally attended to the young lady was more interested in talking to her colleague while pouring the drinks. I felt quite embarrassed as I’d suggested going to the Nags head and our friends were disappointed with the service so we decided that we would speak to the manager and give them the opportunity to discuss our disappointments , we told him of our concerns and he apologised for his comments regarding the other journey to our table however one of the young ladies behind the bar decided to step in and her comment is the main reason for my complaint is “if your not happy don’t come back “ I have worked in retail and hospitality for over 40 years and I saddened by this situation and disappointed that I feel the need to complain about a local restaurant .

Kids at grandparents so decided to go for a nice meal somewhere. Nags was recommended and I’m glad it was. Whilst the food is not ‘cheap’, the standard of beer, restaurant and food made it worth the cost. Both meals were piping hot, generous portions and very tasty, wouldn’t hesitate to go again. The wait was probably about 30mins but that didn’t bother us as it was clearly evident we’d waited for freshly cooked food. Excellent service too from the young waiting on staff.

Really disappointed at our visit. Rang and booked a table for 4 adults and 2 dogs. After ordering and waiting probably half an hour at least we chased our food and were told it was just being plated up. This was simply not true as food then came 20 minutes later. Outrageously the young waitress served three meals and then confronted us about the one dog per table policy!! Why take our booking then when I was very clear about booking being for 4 adults and 2 dogs. The food was lovely and a great choice on the menu. However the overall experience was ruined by the waitress, slow service and lie. They did knock off the cost of a round of drinks but it was clear we would not be able to bring our two dogs with us again. Such a real shame as we'd had a lovely walk and already planning another walk in the area which would have ended up with food at the Nags Head but we will now have to go elsewhere. When we saw the menu we had even said we'd like to try many dishes on the menu over a period of time. Good service would have been to politely decline our booking when we said two dogs. Or not to lie about food being plated up when obviously something else had happened ( the truth would have been acceptable with a sincere apology). Why one dog per table, had we split up and had two adjacent tables our dogs could have been closer than they were. What a shame.

Lovely pub, big beer garden, dog friendly and lovely staff. Only pale ales for those who prefer darker ales but that said, Try the Nags Head ale, lovely and refreshing. Worth a visit, big car park but situated alongside a very busy main road.

When my wife and I arrived with our 2 dogs at an allegedly dog friendly pub, we were met at the entrance by the landlady to be told you can't come in as it was only, "One dog per table." We said that we would sit at separate tables with a dog each. The landy's immediate response was, "We don't have any single tables." However, there were plenty of empty available tables. We had travelled 20 miles, having visited with our two dogs on other occasions when they were welcomed and behaved in an exemplary manner. We were not impressed.

Just eaten the most delicious home made chicken and mushroom pie EVER! Generous, creamy, loads of chips, perfectly cooked. Brilliant friendly service. My sister had the House burger which was gorgeous. We will be back.

Lovely pub and food, BUT we have 2 dogs and can no longer visit with them as they only allow 1 dog per table??? We will have to go elsewhere..shame.

This place doesn’t look much from the outside, but on the inside it’s comfortable, really friendly staff and the quality of food exceptional. We had the Sunday roast, home cooked food at its best. Good portion of veg to go with it. Couldn’t fault it.

Excellent! Fabulous pub with very welcoming owner and tasty food. Promptly served with a drink before order taken for meal that was soon brought to the table piping hot and beautifully presented. Visited twice during the week whilst we were staying nearby and would most definitely recommend to other customers.

We have supported the nags for a number of years, in fact spent three Christmas days with them. So I’m reluctant to give them a poor review but I think it is only fair to other diners. We popped in for tea and so only ordered a main course, but this took over 45 minutes to arrive in a restaurant with only 4 other couples. My wife’s meal she described as ok, mine was not. The duck breast was the toughest I have ever tasted and overcook, I’m not sure if it was the vegetables or the sauce but one had been so over salted it was impossible to eat. I left over half of my meal, which as I was starving , so how bad the meal was. We paid the bill and left as I felt it was unfair on the two young front of house staff to deal with another complaint. The couple at another table had left refusing to pay for one of their meals. Come on nags your better than this give us mid week customers the same standards as your do at the weekends.

Lovely pub - sat outside as music too loud but a sunny day. Had to fetch our meals when a buzzer went on remote. Lovely food - when clearing the plates we asked for coffee only to be told “go and order it at the bar.” So went home. Shame not enough staff and more friendly.

Friendly welcome Quite a big venue with more seating outside Food was mostly enjoyed and quite generous portions. Some elements would benefit from a little attention. But overall very good

Great friendly pub with delicious food . Beautiful location and excellent service. Landlady is just awesome and finds time to chat with everyone.

After reviewing TripAdvisor came across this place from recommendations which was just a short trip from our hot tub hideaway holiday home for a few days. Totally amazing visit. Great food cooked to perfection (the birthday boy even commented on just how perfect steak was) and my salmon linguine was devine. Bring your appetite as the portions are most definitely value for money as well. Also a shout out to the service, friendly but not in your face, timely but not rushing. Had a great time.

The Nags Head was recommended to us by the owners of the campsite we were staying at as it was a dog friendly pub and I’m so glad we visited. You can sit inside with your pooch but are restricted to certain areas We decided to sit outside as the weather was lovely, the establishment was lovely inside and out, and staff very friendly. We popped in to have a few drinks and ended up having some food. Great selection of Ales and lagers, and the food menu is fantastic, lots of variety. Portion size is really good value for money. Overall a really good pub, you won’t be disappointed. Will definitely return again the next time we’re in the area.

Waited 1hour and 10 minutes for our food. We were not informed of this when we arrived, otherwise we wouldn’t have bothered. We were a booked table too not even a walk in. We had kids with us, one being only 12 months old so was ridiculous wait time especially for him. Had to leave without pudding as had an appointment. Waitress asked if we wanted ice cream that came with the kids meal, explained we had no time as mains took so long. Wasn’t offered to even knock a bit off the bill for this! Never mind the ridiculous wait time. Wasn’t even that busy.

Every thing was just how it should be. From the minute we walked through the door a smile and a how are you what can I get you. We sat in the garden for a couple of drinks as it was sunny. We ordered food which was served to us. We were asked if all was ok. The best pub meal we have had for a long time. Well done to all the staff.

Having been to The Nag’s Head on several occasions whilst on holiday over recent years and enjoyed our meals, we were very disappointed with our Sunday lunch today. Sliced packet bread with the Crayfish starter along with a slice of ice cold butter was a bad start. However, the Sunday roast appeared to be pre-packed slices of meat heated up with packet gravy, accompanied by stodgy Yorkshire puddings, frozen vegetables and hard roast potatoes, much of which we had to leave uneaten The service and the beer were very good though!

Friendly, good atmosphere and lovely food. Couldn’t ask for more. Just had two nights eating in pub, as staying locally. Had two very nice evenings. Large haddock and chips was indeed large. We are both chocolate brownie connoisseurs and the chocolate brownie with ice cream at the Nags Head was probably one of the best we’ve ever had. Soft and gooey with warm chocolate sauce and ice cream….a must for chocolate lovers. Gammon, lamb, honeycomb cheesecake and blackberry sponge and custard were all good too. Would definitely return if back in area as would love to try more of their menu. Congratulations to the chefs and staff. You have a special pub, which we thoroughly enjoyed eating in.

Booked ahead for dinner and told them we had two dogs. Had a lovely table waiting for us, near the dog water bowl. They lit the fire for us too. Great choice of food, lamb and fish choices both excellent. Service was extremely good. Highly recommended this place, and very dig friendly.

Arrived this evening to be met at the front door before we even opened it only to be told instantly "we only allow 1 dog per table". We had 2 dogs with us, surely not an uncommon situation .. So clearly we weren't going to sit on separate tables!!! Then we were asked if we had a booking (which we didn't) and told we could sit outside. The weather has been attricious today with torrential rain and wind in between brief sunny spells. No thanks... Very inhospitable and quite rude. We visited last January with a group of friends with both of the dogs and had a lovely meal... What's changed... Won't be going back...

If you like real ale this pub is excellent. Nags Head has 3 beer pumps. Wye Valley 4% pale, Ludlow Gold 4.2% and Salopian Gold. All in good condition. Polite and helpful young barman. Lots of real ale being supped by customers who were obviously locals after work chill out. Inside the pub is clean, airy and spacious. We will definitly be calling into this "local" again. Well done, hope your village appreciate your hard work.

Nice quality pub, polite & professional staff. Meals are of a good standard and home cooked. We were just passing through and made a great choice. Lovely experience all round and full bellies.

Third time visiting in the hope that things will be different, but it never is. I’ll start off by saying the menu composition is lovely, and the food is usually very good, if not, good enough. However, the service needs serious improvement. You don’t get...

Had a great meal at this pub tonight excellent food, good size portions, friendly staff and all in all very worth the visit. Recommend highly

Highly recommend this pub, tables well spread out, food was first class, good size portions for a reasonable price....lamb shank, steaks, roulade and a sticky toffee pudding to die for! Attentive and friendly staff.

Really nice pub and restaurant. Excellent food, presented beautifully and very tasty. Staff and management are second to none! Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing atmosphere, the staff were professional and couldn't be more helpful and to top it all, the food was delicious, we ate far to much, we'll certainly be returning.

Not knowing the area, and in search of a Sunday Roast we popped into the Nags Head on spec as it looked good from the outside. The roasts here way exceeded our expectations - one had roast beef, one had turkey and both were amazing....

We have just had Sunday lunch with our extended family at this lovely pub. It was the first time we had seen each other since before Covid and we had a lovely time. Some of the party were late arriving due to the Shrewsbury bike...

Nice atmosphere, Beer is pretty Good. but Food is expensive for average to low quality Pub food. It certainly is not high quality Chef /Kitchen prepared cuisine. Smacks of Bookers/ Brake Beothers suppliers. (Cheap for profit).

Busy Sunday granted. Service very slow, no visible management of staff. Having young staff congregating around the bar and having to put your hand up for service is not good. Food average. Don't expect to pay £4 for bread and oils/balsamic when the bread is...

Staying on holiday nearby, received a lovely warm welcome and sat outside in the garden area. Good choice of food and drink. Food was great, good size portions and would definitely return. Dogs were welcome too.

This was a spur of the moment choice and we were very pleased we chose to stop here. Excellent food (yes there is a short wait, but the food is cooked freshly and is worth any short wait!). Service from the staff was brilliant and...

awful experience, awful service, would not recommend. Cannot rate as there isn’t a number low enough!!!! Not impressed

Not very impressed with the Menu. Which lacks in Style and Choice. And it is Expensive! (8 Cocktail Prawns in a Commercially bought Thai Green Curry sauce, and a cupful of Rice at £18.50) ! Others in group had different food and were equally unimpressed....

Love this place!! The food is amazing 🤩 today I had the Turkey dinner and hubby had the vegetarian meal the flavors were so nice I didn’t want the meal to end . The food is always served nicely and pipping hot every time ....

Called in today after a long walk. I know we didn’t book for food, but the attitude rude and unhelpful couldn’t even offer us a drink inside. Really poor.

Half a pint of prawns is not 20 small prawns on top of assorted salad leaves. The waitress staff were however very friendly and helpful unlike the manageress.

We found this pub while on holiday last year and haven’t stopped talking about how the food was since! Finally got the chance to return, completing the 4 hour round trip and it did not disappoint! The food was amazing! I wish we lived closer!

After walking up and around pontesford hill called in for a pint and quick bite to eat. Both were very good and the staff were really polite and friendly.

We visited at 8pm on Sunday 26/7 amazing from the time we walked in, the food was fantastic I had the haloumi delicious. The staff are fantastic and we felt safe, thank you everyone.

Called into the Nags Head today whilst out for a drive. This was our first time since lockdown eased that we have ventured out to a pub and our first time at the Nags Head, but it won’t be our last. We were met at the door & asked for our name & phone number (for tracing purposes) & followed the one way system to a table outside. We then had a member of staff come and take our order. It was so nice to have drink in the sunshine followed by the food, which was excellent. Thank you to all the staff for making this a lovely day out

went to bar to order drinks ,asked to take a seat and order would be taken.correct procedure during covid.had to wait till staff carried on with their chat with gentleman sat at the bar.not just against covid protocol it is against regulations.

Been to this place a few times in recent months since going to live in the locality. Always enjoyed being there. Good selection of food that has always been well presented and they offer a wide range from snacks to full meals. As a lover of real ale there is always a good choice of 4 or 5 available. Enjoyed sitting down reading next to the fire in what is a smart and attractively laid out pub.

Booking to celebrate a joint birthday, so we'd done our research and chosen a nice place that was new for us. Service was great and the menu choice was good, but the actual food was a let down. The salmon fillet was small, especially for the price. The homemade chicken pie may have had a pastry top and sauce made in-house, but the chicken resembled the grey, tough cubes found in the frozen aisle at the supermarket. Brought this to the attention of the staff and was reassured that the kitchen would be informed.

We booked early Sunday morning for a late lunch. I felt welcome from the phone call to placing an order for a drink. 'I'll bring the drinks to your table', was said with a smile. The starters are served on plates of slate....all good. The mains are just good, homemade food with plenty of vegetables. As we were escaping storm Ciara, this establishment felt warm and generous with very pleasant service. This pub is fast becoming a favourite.

This is a popular venue so I'd book. They offer a full Sunday dinner 1, 2 or 3 courses as well as their other menu for those who don't want a Sunday roast.The meal was excellent, cooked well, presented well and a good size (I couldn't manage a pudding.... though others with me squeezed one in)

We met friends on the Eve of Christmas Eve 23rd December. We found the Nags to have a lovely festive atmosphere and enjoyed good food. It was an impromptu catch up with friends. Highly recommend, friendly staff with nice ambience. Thank you we will be back.

,Not that special. But nice place to eat. Food could be a lot better with a bit of thought and imagination

Not been in for awhile when down in Shrewsbury area but booked in as a group of around 15 for dinner. Being a Saturday night it was busy but has a friendly, welcoming atmoshpere and plenty of space if in a group.Enjoyed a couple of drinks from the bar before taking our table for dinner. Fast, efficient service from the bar team.Lots of menu choices both traditional and creative. Staff looking after us at the table were excellent, orders taken, drinks topped up and plates cleared away in good order. I went for the half pint of prawns (shared), sticky, chilli beef strips with jasmine rice and cheeseboard (shared). All were very good, well presented, good flavours, generous portion sizes - no way could I eat 3 courses by myself.A very enjoyable evening, good food, great company and well looked after in a good old english style pub!

We had a late Sunday Lunch at the Nags Head which satisfied three generations with different tastes. It is a pub, not a restaurant, so a bit basic, but the food is good. I loved the Lamb Shank and the gravy was just the best 'pub gravy' I have ever had. Normally, the gravy is just a uniform mix to suit both, pork, beef and lamb, but this was exceptional which just made my meal. The vegetables served separately are an added bonus. Will definitely visit again.

I have been to this pub on several occasions, even though we live over an hour away, and we have always had a excellent food and service. However - last night - on our way home from a weekend away, we look the long route home so we could have some dinner here - perfect end to the perfect weekend. The pub was very quiet at 19:30. 4 waitresses pottering about, a couple of tables eating and a few drinkers at the bar. We found a table in the bar area and my husband went to the bar and waited, and waited, the staff completely ignored him. Now I appreciate that not all staff are able to serve at the bar, but they would not even make eye contact, too busy chatting. One of the other drinkers even commented that we had not been served. Now I will not stand for rude staff, so we left, and went to an alternative pub for some dinner. It put a dampener on the evening and it is a shame as I will not return here, and I have always enjoyed previous visits.

Loved this place - great food, great prices, great surroundings and great ambiance. Lovely polite staff looked after us very well and when we are in the area again we will definitely he back. Perfect for couples and families alike - would recommend to anyone

We were a group of 22 walkers and were happy to pre-order our lunch from the whole (fabulous) menu four days in advance. Penny opened the pub at 1030 for us to use the "usual facilities". As the pub was already busy when we got back from our walk, we had to wait a little while before the first meals came out - which nobody minded, as the pub has such a lovely atmosphere - but then they all arrived within five or ten minutes. The food was excellent and I have heard nothing but positive feedback comments.

Called into the Nags Head by chance when visiting Stiperstones. We were welcomed in with our dogs despite not making a reservation. The staff were very friendly and promptly took our order at the table. The food and drink followed swiftly and we both enjoyed our meals which were really good. Thanks to all for looking after us and we will return.

What a fabulous pub the food was amazing, i had the roast beef dinner that came out with two very large slices of melt in your mouth succulent beef and a good selection of veg. And to finnish sticky toffee pudding with honeycombe ice cream. Amazing. Will definatly be going again.

Me and my partner had the most beautiful meal here tonight. The halloumi burger was so yummy, and my partner had the homemade fish cakes. The staff couldn’t do enough for us and it’s such a shame we live so far away, as this would definitely be our regular if we lived closer. Such a lovely atmosphere, the food was top notch and the staff were brilliant.

After a walk on Earls Hill with our dog, we decided to stop by and have lunch outside . We loved the spinach and butternut and cheese filo pastry with lots of nicely cooked vegetables and roasted potatoes. The staff were very friendly.

We last came to this pub restaurant 2 years ago , where we had a really excellent dining experience . So with eager anticipation we went today for our lunch .

Nice food yesterday evening, the barmaid who took our order was polite and cheerful just like the guy who brought our food to the table. However, very close sending our drinks back and walking out due to one of the other bar staff giving a loud and explicit account of how she boarded a flight with a hangover and then spewed (her words) catching it all in her jumper; pretty disgusting tbh. She caught my eye and said that she didn't realise that I was listening, the whole pub could probably hear her.

we have visited and eaten here a number of times as we regularly visit the area.

We popped in for a late lunch here after a hike with our dog and were immediately met with a friendly welcome. Lovely atmosphere and the food was very good at a fair price. Customer service also stood out as it was attentive and friendly. Would definitely return if in the area

Certainly not my local , being about 8 miles away, but you can’t beat the food. I have been there many times with family and on my own. Always chatty staff, who don’t mither you while you eat. Again it’s a dog friendly pub but they do ask you to sit in the bar, or garden ,not in the restaurant with your pooch.

Great food, could not fault it in anyway. Staff were very polite and helpful. Would defenetly recommend it.

The 'specials board' with Catch of the day, was unavailable at 7 pm, on a very quiet tuesday eve. So opted for the fishcakes with 'dressed tomato salad', Asked for small green salad instead of chips.

Came in yesterday (26.05.19) at around 6:30pm. There were 4 of us that wanted to eat there.

Popped in early evening to check they had a table for later and we could bring the dog. Told yes all fine. Rocked back up later hungry and ready for food to be told (after we’d ordered drinks that there was no food left today) Useless front of house.

We had huge starters and then an excellent roast beef lunch. The Yorkshire puddings were huge and the red wine gravy was very good plus the roast potatoes were crisp and crunchy. Sadly we had no room for any of the tasty looking desserts on offer.
