Number Four in Shropshire

What an excellent restaurant! Came for an evening meal with friends and we were blown away by the quality of the food. The service and atmosphere was also excellent and we found the portions to be just right and the pricing fair. I would highly recommend Number Four and if we’re back in the area we’d definitely come back to try more on the menu.

Delicious Black Pudding, Potato & Bacon Salad with Dressing. This establishment consistently delivers quality food with a varied ever changing menu . Service is impeccable in quirky surroundings.

Lovely atmosphere, lovely food and catered well to my celiac requirements and flexible with the menu choices. Great service and well looked after.

Recently took my children here for lunch. I had the all day breakfast and it was incredible. Best breakfast I’ve ever had. So much on the plate and cooked perfectly. Will definitely come back

I'm saddened to write this poor rated review, but since leaving the restaurant and thinking about a very unpleasant experience which upset us for the rest of the day, I feel compelled to do so. After enjoying good food and a nice glass of wine, we were ready to leave. The waitress had acknowledged this, so a few moments later I went to the payment till near to the kitchen on the top floor as I have done so many times previously. I paid my bill and chose to add a tip, as I was very pleased with the whole experience to this point. It was who I can only presume the head waitress who took my payment, whom we mentioned to earlier how much we had enjoyed our lunch. On leaving and heading towards the stairs, I heard the words in a raised voice have you paid your bill! Astonished and lost for words at this point, I turned to see the waitress behind me, who had previously acknowledged we were ready leave. I then thought we were being accused of leaving without paying. This was said in front of all the other customers for them to see a 64 year old with his wife being highlighted as a potential criminal! I dually explained I had paid, then I heard from the head waitress, that's my fault! The waitress who was the accuser, then proceeded to check I had paid the bill correctly to ensure no add on's were missed! I may be of an older age, but I knew exactly what we had ordered and what the bill should be and agreed to pay with a tip. I understand people (low life) do indeed intentionally leave without paying, but we are defiantly not that type! With the way this was handled with no apology given, has since made my blood boil. So, I will certainly not be returning and will dually share this unpleasant experience.

Was recommended to eat here on a day trip to Shrewsbury - and it was the absolute right advice! Sat in a lovely little lane the smallish frontage doesn't give a sign of the vast, beautiful interior. We loved the menu of basics and more exciting dishes. We went for truly good nosh: ham, eggs, chips, slice of bread and a cuppa - and it was fantastic! We would highly recommend a visit. Oh, and the staff were lovely :)

Was looking for somewhere to eat and stumbled on this place. Nice place, service was wonderful and the garlic bread was to die for. I had the ham, egg and fries and my other half had the steak and onion ciabatta. We both said that the meals were amazing. Will go there again when in Shrewsbury next.

This place really takes some beating. We regularly pop in for lunch. Food is always freshly cooked and menu has a great selection. Really fantastic service too. One of the best places to eat in Shrewsbury.

Good atmosphere, pleasant staff, food tasty. Howeever, the fries we're crispy/crunchy with the meals for my group, to the extent they had lost their appeal. Hopefully, this is a one off and is based on a single visit.

A great find! Absolutely gorgeous freshly made food and super friendly service. Love the decor too! Will definitely be back 😋

Behind the unobtrusive front we found a great little restaurant serving a range of delicious food. Got to say had the best chicken wrap ever! Service was excellent with staff literally running up and down the 3 levels. Style was urban chic.

Last day of the year, trip into Shrewsbury for late breakfast / brunch . Very friendly staff, Service excellent Food excellent Highly recommend

Great food, lovely service and beautiful space. Lots of gf options. Started with garlic prawns and he had soup. All yummy. Then baked cod and he had pork belly. Even better. Glass of white wine went down well. Eton mess for pudding. Proper meringue and delicious. He had Xmas pudding bread and butter pudding and said he was sorry I couldn’t try it. Best bit of the meal. Very reasonable charge. We will come again.

Number 4 is one of our ‘Go to’ restaurants in town. Today was a family outing, my parents in their 80’s my daughters and partner in all 8 of us. The black pudding and poached egg salad was deliciously perfect and the home made fish cake sublime to top it off the staff were welcoming, attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend.

Even when busy the resteraunt was busy the service was rapid. Food was reasonably priced and very tasty (especially the chicken wrap).

Whenever I visit Shrewsbury for a few days I have to have lunch here. A great atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff and a great choice of food. All the food leaving the kitchen looks appealing but my favourite by far is the rump steak on chiabatta. Keep up the good work guys, I can't wait to return.

I came here today for the first time with my mum. I absolutely love the place. It’s a hidden gem. Staff were so kind. Food was brilliant Would 100% recommend

Excellent and generous English breakfast, very friendly and responsive staff, I highly recommend

Great lunch menu. We struggled a little to find gluten-free options but we were OK in the end. It was affordable, the staff were very nice & everything was fresh.

A great little place in quiet part of town. Great service great brunch, good variety on menu and very attentive service. This was our first visit but we will be back. Would highly recommend.

Nice place with friendly staff. But the food was poor

Lovely cafe down a pretty cobbled street , we had seat downstairs with a veiw out to Butchers row. Excellent eggs floretine and croque Monsieur, well cooked lovely fresh ingrediants & a bottle of reasonably priced. wine Everything excellent value and very friendly cheerful staff.

Very tasty meal with family. Ordered a mixture of the chicken wrap, chicken salad and baked ham and cheese croque. Efficient service with a smile

Excellent food setting and service. I had a salad which was a generous portion. My wife had the same whilst the kids had a burger which was rated highly.

Never been before, but we will be back. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and hot. I liked how lots of chips came out on the plate and not a small amount in some silly bowl/dish. Husband said his burger was succulent. The atmosphere was cosy and warm.

My wife and I popped in for a bite to eat, not planned, able to choose seating, great menu for our needs, great service, timely and attentive staff, lots of food on plate, cheesy garlic bread was excellent 👍🏻

We went Monday afternoon as a table of 4 and a toddler. Firstly, loads around for my little boy to look at and play with and you don’t feel uncomfortable to take your kids there which I find really important in going to a place for lunch. Number four has always been my FAVE place to eat in town and the small plates I had today were absolutely delicious and amazing value for money, I highly recommend the carrot bhaji bites, the ham croquettes and the pork belly bites. The staff are always on the top of their game and make you feel looked after immediately. Massive thanks to all and keep on smashing it front and back of house 👊

We ate here on a visit to Shrewsbury years ago. Now that we have moved to Shropshire we are regulars. Great food.

Excellent choice. Nicely attentive with the meals being tasty and the bill not over the top.

Amazing food. Very friendly and attentive staff. Would definitely come again.

Great food, clean, friendly.. Would have been better if the waitress had listened carefully to the order and got an order correct first time. However, on third attempt it was corrected. The food was fabulous, good selection of wine. Desert to die for. Big portions

Just amazing place. I was just reading about the reviews about the place but didn't expect what it was when we went in. The entrance is small but place was big inside and a whole lot of seats. I love the decor and feel inside, just loved eating and hanging around inside. They have a kid's menu and they loved the food they ordered. We took the steak promo and was surprised that the tomahawk tasted that well, it was just tender and tasty and well made. Loved the chips that came with it, crunchy and tasty. My daughter had the fudge and it was really good. Service was good and quick, they were really friendly. Would be going back for sure

Great breakfast and coffee. Well set out, attentive staff and a peaceful ambience.

Fantastic find! Lovely food, great choice and wonderful service. We will definitely visit again next time we are in Shrewsbury.

Very mixed experience here Positives Main course was amazing. Belly pork was really tasty. Couldn't fault the main course at all it was exceptional Our server was lovely, very friendly and attentive Negatives We waited for around 15 minutes to be seated in an empty restaurant. There was no one downstairs at the front and we couldn't find any staff The pate was almost liquid, more like a dip. Tasted quite old The pudding although tasty wasn't homemade, tasted like it was from a shop I think if you're paying £30 for 3 courses you should walk away saying 'wow, I'd definitely go back there' and I didn't feel that.

We rocked up at 8.50pm on Friday night (a spontaneous visit) and were so happy to be welcomed & kitchen still open for a proper evening meal. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was fantastic too. We had 4 starter plates at £20, my son had a burger and I had the seabass. Complementary bottle of water and dish of olives "to keep us going"! I would recommend this restaurant very highly 🙂

I love coming here for lunch. The staff are always polite and the food is great and always comes promptly

Staff there is amazingly nice. The food is delicious and the place so cozy. So glad to have lunch in there. They serve a bottle of water as you sit, so grateful for this detail 😍

Amazing restaurant, wonderful kids menu, and great quality food. The best burger I’ve ever eaten! Staff were super friendly too.

We’ve eaten here on a number of times before and always loved it. Great menu, good service and good value. Today we were a party of eight and were all rather particular in our ordering but the waitress kept smiling and delivered delicious food swiftly.

Where to begin. Food very average and staff sullen. My son is a chef and he was appalled at the presentation, meat quality and time waited for food to come after ordering. The chips were overcooked as was my burger, my husband’s potatoes were grey and son’s meat similar in colour. After years of visiting Number Four we certainly won’t be returning.

Lovely atmosphere, great service and amazing food! Reasonably priced too, highly recommend.

Not visited for a while and pleased to say we had a lovely brunch. Friendly welcome and looked after by the really efficient young women waiting the tables. Spacious place and didn't seem busy as so many tables. I had a sausage and onion bap and my friend had tomatoes on toast, she was particularly impressed, a great veggie option. Charged extra for oat milk and for a large latte when small ordered but minor quibbles. Be back here again soon no doubt.

Really lovely atmosphere and staff! Soup of the day very tasty

Fantastic breakfast. Hot fresh tasty well cooked and presented...10 out of 10!

Chose from the set dinner menu (2 courses for £25 or 3 for £30) - starter & main. Excellent choices on this menu, however, there is a full menu as well if you don't want 2 or 3 courses. Food was fantastic and the service was friendly and attentive. Good value for money.

Birthday brunch with my husband and daughter. Loved the atmosphere and speedy friendly service. The AllDay Breakfast was huge and very tasty, the Eggs Royale was nicely presented and delicious. My muesli was a little underwhelming- a very small portion and the ‘fresh fruit’ was a single strawberry, veggie breakfast for me next time! I’ll definitely be returning.

My partner and I visited for breakfast one morning after being recommended by friends. We loved the boohoo look of the place, with a cosy and casual feel. I had a simple eggs on toast with tomatoes But it was so much more. They certainly know how to season their eggs. My partner had the full English and struggled to finish it but was determined. One of his favourite breakfasts he's had in Shrewsbury yet so simple. Very good value for money. We would love to come and try the other menu's they have to offer

Went for breakfast following a recommendation. Excellent ambience, brilliant food, drink and service. Enjoyed it so much we returned a couple of days later with family and thoroughly enjoyed it again.

Cannot fault the food or service! I had the whipped feta starter, main course I had belly pork and sticky toffee pudding for desert. Friend had whitebait, rolled blade of beef and shared the pudding. 10 out of 10 for food, friendliness of staff and cleanliness. Would definitely recommend.

I travel all the way from Leicester to Shrewsbury, to meet up with my very handsome son. And without doubt one of the high points of those visits "NUMBER 4"I could say many things and all would be true but I think the best thing I can say,, it's just so comfortable to be there,, and I'll just add and it goes without saying the food is excellent. Thank you one and all 🤗

Lovely surroundings, great atmosphere, freshly prepared and simply delicious food and the team serving you are really attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend you visit!

Friendly and attentive service and incredible food can't knock anything, a high quality experience all around and would highly recommend to anyone certainly within the local area of Shropshire

Great visit today. Food was amazing and the service was genuine and friendly.

Delicious food, and a good variety to choice from. Your sweet potato fries were particularly delicious! Very efficient and pleasant staff. Trendy decor. Will be back next time we visit the area.

Just had a lovely meal at number 4, love the decor, wonderful vibe lively but chilled, great attentive staff and excellent food with value for money, will be back, thank you. Darren & Lorna

I have visited a couple of times now and left really happy. The food is great and really reasonably priced. The venue is nice and pleasant and the service has been very friendly both times. Will definitely be back

Great food again had a nice meal and good service not our first visit very reasonably priced visit before film in old market hall

A great cafe with very good service. The quality of the food produce is also very good and the menu reasonably priced. The acoustics are just a little loud. Presentation of the food could easily notch food up to a five star with a little bit of dressing/trimmings.

Spent some quality time at this venue, delightful staff, interesting decor very individual and very good food. Will definately revisit when next in Shrewsbury

Eight of us for lunch, a busy vibrant places, great value, lovely people, every meal was superb and its the type of place anyone would enjoy

lovely little spot good wholesome food with large portions, nice atmosphere, burgers very tasty, fish cakes lovely, serving is two cakes with a perfect poached egg on top - my daughter spilled something over her first burger and the staff were very understanding, couldn't have been more helpful and produced a replacement in double quick time and then refused to let us pay for the second meal when we mentioned they hadn't charged us for it - would heartily reccommend

Went here with my mum, the menu looked great outside and when we went in I was expecting a small shop but it really opened up inside and it felt so big and had so much natural light. It feel so relaxing inside! The food was absolutely amazing too, both my mother and I ate everything we could until we were stuffed. There were plenty of vegetarian options as well and they are delicious. The staff were wonderful too and I would recommend anyone to come here.

Excellent breakfast. Slight mix-up with order but was quickly remedied. Eggs Benedict was fantastic!!

Fantastic restaurant With two floors. Fabulous breakfast!!! Great burger.

Great food. Great service. Perhaps add an avocado dish?

The venue is lovely, really clean and looks great and nice atmosphere. The staff were really accommodating and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend a visit.

What a fabulous find, we had lunch yesterday and dinner this evening, lovely food, so tasty and the staff were amazing. Would definitely recommend if you’re in the area.

Great food, friendly staff. Well worth visiting. Had a lovely lunch, number 4 salad with crispy pork. No 4 Chicken wrap and sweet potato fries, all cooked fresh in front on us at the open kitchen.

We arrived on time for our booking but they hadn't cleared a table, we waited 20 minutes before anyone asked if we wanted a drink. There were others before us seated that had already waited longer. So we binned it because we would have been very lucky to eat within 45 minutes of our booking the way things were going. I don't blame the staff, there was clearly not enough of them. Went across the street for a sandwich instead which was lovely.

Can't rate the food as we walked out before ordering. Booked a table for 1pm on a Saturday. The restaurant was busy, as you would expect for a weekend. Waited 20 mins for our drink order, after 10 minutes no sign of any drinks. Staff seemed stressed and clearly the place was very short staffed. Other tables were waiting to place their order who had been in longer than us. Gave up and grabbed a sandwich from across the road which was delicious. Don't think I'll be back

I've been coming here for almost 10 years and it never fails to disappoint. The staff are lovely and attentive, and the food is always great quality. Highly recommend💜

Breakfast and service were delightful… especially the tots

Just had our works Christmas party at Number 4. There were 40 people and still the service was amazing and so efficient. Food was also lovely! I would highly recommend this place to anyone, thank you for having us.

Well done, staff..! Number 4 is heaving today as we come to the last week before Christmas, but super busy staff still found me a place, were unfailingly polite and helpful, served me a.s.a.p. and concentrated on delivering a happy experience. Thanks and happy Christmas!!!!

Love this place. Such a good vibe..food sensational!

Not been here until this weekend. Blown away by choice on menu & great atmosphere. 3 floors & open kitchen. Loved it!,

The second visit in just over a week having a Christmas meal with friends and then a work party. Lovely food, great staff and great atmosphere. They were extremely busy last night but all the staff were very friendly and attentive. They worked so hard! Thoroughly recommend.

Another lovely dinner on Saturday evening delicious food great value attentive staff. Wake up Shrewsbury for a lovely meal on Friday or Saturday evening this is the place to try.

Welcoming staff; great location and premises: excellent food. Great breakfasts and dinners!

Did a quick search for breakfast in Shrewsbury and found number 4. We were really not disappointed! There was a lovely little area filled with toys for our two little ones to play with while we waited for our breakfast (which wasn’t long!!) the full English breakfast was the best I’ve ever eaten! Fantastic quality fresh ingredients. Black pudding in real chunks unlike most generic sliced stuff! The home made tato tots were an amazing addition! The kids breakfast is a generous portion and our other little girl had a croissant with Nutella which was warm and fresh. The service was fantastic from start to finish. Will definitely return

Popped in for a coffee and the added bonus of a bacon sandwich excellent fast service great sandwich and nice hot coffee what more can you ask for . will be back on our next visit for an evening meal .

We went on a Saturday evening and had the 3 courses. All the food was cooked exceptionally well and great portion size The service was excellent also and very reasonably priced would 100 per cent recommend and will be back to try other dishes

I visited Number 4 on Sat 14th Oct 2023 along with my family to celebrate my 31st birthday. The food was very tasty and the staff looked after us really well. The only negative aspect of my trip here was the manager/ owner. When I queried a jug of passion fruit martini being half full, the manager just blamed her staff and said they had poured it wrong. Talk about throwing your staff under the bus. It gets worse. The manager then gives one of the waitresses a talking down in front of us, we heard and saw everything. The poor waitress began to cry and the manager continued to have a go. The waitress was nothing but friendly and happy until this conversation. The manager needs to remember how to remain professional and maybe talk to her staff out of sight, not in front of paying customers and maybe needs to rethink her leadership and management style. Such a shame our experience ended like this. My family and I left the restaurant in absolute disgust. I hope the young waitress no longer feels humiliated or embraced because that’s how she was made to feel. I don’t think I’ll be returning to Number 4 again not unless it’s under new management.

Our visit was spoiled as towards the end of our meal we expieranced terrible management from the boss lady. We witnessed the manageress speak horribly to a member of her staff to the point the poor member of staff was reduced to tears. This was totally unacceptable and unprofessional from the manager as not only was this dressing down in front of paying customers it was also in front of other staff which is totally unfair. The young lady was very pleasant when serving us and I didn’t once think she was “slacking off”. Ironically the manager was so concerned about how the staff were acting that she actually became the one part of our visit that was unpleasant. I hope the manager sees this and next time does not pull up her staff in public and hope she would talk to them how she would like to be spoken to. As a manger you do not get to treat your staff like vermin as without them you are NOTHING. Shame this review had to be negative as the venue was very nice, the food was really good and the rest of the staff were all lovely.

Lovely place over three floors. Excellent milkshakes and frappe served. Will be visiting again.

We visited for a baby shower in September. We were seated upstairs in an area away from the general customers which wad great for our group. Food was good as was the service. In fact, the guy who served us was extra helpful. Scones straight...

Great place for lunch, staff are super efficient and look like they love what they do. Highly recommend

Great little find, love the decor and ambiance of the place, rustic and clean. Service with a smile and all staff are friendly and helpful. The food choices were to my liking and had a hard decision what to try. My meal came well presented...

Only popped in for coffee but have had lunch there in the past and food has been really good. Nice atmosphere and very good pleasant service. Would recommend it most definitely.

In the centre of town reasonable menu nice staff, interior a little basic but acceptable. Food was nice but not outstanding

We only had a drink but wished we had stayed for food (had a booking elsewhere)...staff was so lovely accommodating and so friendly. We opted for the pitcher of Porn Star Martini such a bargen at £10!!! It was delicious...really good ambiance about this place...

Nice environment and really lovely food. Particular shoutout to George who was our waitress today who was super-friendly and treated us with politeness and professionalism throughout

Food was amazing we had the aubergine Parmigiana and the Cajun honey chicken burger. Really big portions. Couldn't finish all of it. Will definitely be going back.

Great little find, excellent food full of flavoursome quality ingredients. Great service even on a busy bank holiday

Excellent food and service. Highly recommend this place. Thanks.

Excellent place for a coffee stop
