We called for lunch on a Tuesday, the pub was very quiet, in fact we waited 10 minutes until the landlord came into sight, but he was most apologetic for the wait, we both ordered the mixed grill, which was excellent, the steak and gammon were superb (quality meats & cooked to perfection) with 2 meaty sausages, a properly cooked egg ! Peas & mushrooms, the only thing was the fried chicken wings that unusually accompanied the mixed grill were overcooked and very salty, and it was served with frozen chips, the pub has recently been revamped and looked very good, we will be back, thank you

The Red Barn Shrewsbury Christmas Day 2023.... £480 for 8 people £60 each for five courses. Shambles - Absolute catastrophe of a day. Very upsetting ordeal. Paid all monies and submitted menu choices on time. Booked for originally 3.30pm, later changed/agreed to sit at 3pm - Arrived 3pm. Sat at down 4.20pm. Table setting - 1 x red serviette and 1 knife, nothing else, no table cloth, crackers or any condiments. First course, special need sister ordered Stilton & Garlic Forrest Mushrooms. Arrived on hard toasted Bloomer. Awkward for my sister as she is IDSSI Soft Option 6. Didn't eat bread. Waited ages for main. Asked for dough and oil 5 times. It arrived half way through main. Father ordered steak - no steak knife given. My sister cancelled her meal and requested a £60 refund, due to the length of wait. Due to length of wait, Daniel the host was trying his hardest to accommodate all parties present. They couldn't handle the demand due to booking too many customers. Customer service suffered. Customers suffered. Other gent at bar also complained about the service and wait times. My father ordered Jelly & Ice Cream. When the icecream in sponge came out, we were told its as stated on the menu. When I asked where the jelly was, the waiter said 'Oh I've left the jelly tots in the kitchen'. The sweets were handed to us in a chinese takeaway tub. After paying £480 for a special day for my 83 year old father, the day was ruined through overbooking, delay in seating, lack of christmas decorations on the table, long delay for food, bad customer service, food expected not being as requested. I asked for a partial refund as the stress of the day placed my 20 year old son into a panic attack. The barmaid (ex police office) was very good at supporting him. Thank you. Was a truly a bad experience. We eat out a lot, especially on Christmas Day to accommodate 8 people. Not good at all. I waited after everyone left in my party a further 1/2 hour for Daniel to return from an off-site meeting with Brent the Red Barn Manager. Daniel returned and ask if I could telephone Brent tomorrow, on Boxing Day. I telephoned Brent on Boxing Day, where other people were present during my call. Brent was defensive, rude, didn't listen, wasn't empathetic, said his CVTV put only a five minute wait on food and wasn't at all apologetic. He said he was the director and pub owner. Staff cannot refund without permission. I asked for his full name to enable me to write to Punch Bowl brewery. He said you don't need my surname. I explained I could obtain company details off Companies House. He ended the call quite rudely, 'You are not having a refund or partial refund, that was yesterday, today is today. As you've mentioned Companies House, this call is ended'. He hung up and the phone went dead. Summary - Don't do Christmas Day at The Red Barn. Worst experience ever. If you need proof, I have the receipts, menu, call logs. No refund, not even my sisters £60 (cancelled meal) was refunded. Absolutely wish we never went to The Red Barn. Won't return. Future customers, You have been warned! All you need to do is look at everyone else's low star review. What publican would wish any guest to break down?

First visit here in years ,last time I remember was for a wake after a relation's funeral Can't give any stars on food as only ever had drinks in here .the local's are welcoming ,the pub is quiet spacious with a large accessible car park (I think they cater for overnight campervan stopovers ,best to check beforehand!) Large Beer Garden Some friends informed me during the Euros 2024 it was a packed out beer garden Great Local Community Pub atmosphere good ,made to feel welcome competitive drink prices !

Lydia's reply to your rude reply, following her review. 09.50am 05.10.24 Hi Brent, Thank you for your reply. We never received any offer of refund in any form. I'm not a fantasist and placed the review 10 months after the event for two reasons: 1) I was so emotionally angry and upset that you were so rude causing my families Christmas Day disaster and subsequent cancellation of our home buffet on Boxing Day. 2) If I reviewed in January, customers would forget prior to booking Christmas 2024. I had to wait until booking closer to Christmas 2024 . The reason their is no Christmas Day at The Red Barn is because it was such a shambles 2023. Even in your reply today, you sware, didn't apologise and we still didn't receive any refund, which I'm happy to receive as a Gesture of Goodwill. Re my furure bookings, last month I booked a Christmas Day venue. We have attended Christmas Day there twice before. They have Christmas Day spot on. They are welcoming, polite, attentive and put the customer first. They would never dream of swaring at a customer, let alone wish they would break down. Your reviews will catch up with you and your trade. Your business suffers because of YOU. No Christmas Day this year - SPEAKS VOLUMES. My family and I would like to wish you a fabulous Christmas and hope you have resolved your stress and family issues you used as an excuse last boxing day last year. NO CHRISTMAS DAY VENUE - I'm a fantasist!!! Question Mr Catterson - Why did Nichola resign from your Security Company in June? I wonder!

We were in Shrewsbury in our camper van looking for a pub stopover, thanks to Google we saw that the Red Barn offers overnight stays in their car park so off we went. The greeting we had was wonderful, staff were so friendly and showed us where to park our camper. Whenever we use pub stopovers we always have a meal as a thank you and we were so glad we did. The food was excellent, we are vegetations and the choice was excellent. Staff came over to check if all was well with the food, there was a new member of staff who made a slight mistake with the order, staff were really sorry and as a result gave us our second drink on the house. If you are in Shrewsbury and looking for a lovely pub for a drink, food or even a campervan stopover head for The Red Barn and you will not be disappointed. As a bonus the evening we were there was a Singers Night so we enjoyed listening to the singers while eating a marvellous meal. If you are planning a campervan stopover phone first to check there is space and please thank the Red Barn by having a meal in the pub, you will not be disappointed. Thank you all at the Red Barn for making our stay so enjoyable.

Not ideal for camping overnight in the car park, it's small and there's no water or electricity sockets. Restaurant is hit and miss with when they are providing food. Dan is very friendly. No privacy either when your in you allocated parking spot, the neighbours can see right into the campervan. Not ideal for us or them. Car park is busy too even when pub is shut. Didn't get to try the food as they weren't serving and I can't comment on the atmosphere as there wasn't anyone in the pub at 4.30pm

Took my wife in for a Sunday roast. Ordered drinks and was told no beef! Had I not ordered the drinks I would have been straight out the door. We ordered roast pork. The waitress arrived and said two turkey dinners so we said sorry we ordered pork. The meals were bought back and the waitress said sorry I meant pork! The pork was sliced pork not roasted with a spot of gravy so it was very dry. As we were finishing we were offered gravy so the last mouthful was lovely. Price was £12.50 and portion size was small and there was just a small amount of veg between us. Sliced pork is not the same as roast pork. After the plates were cleared the cook asked us whether we had had a nice meal. I told him about the gravy and he said we should have asked for some! Never again. I would quite happily pay a fiver more for a proper Sunday Lunch!!

Whilst visiting Shrewsbury in our campervan, we were looking for somewhere within walking distance of the town, to spend the night, and we came across The Red Barn, who offered parking in their carpark in return for a drink / meal in the pub, or a payment of £10. We had a very friendly welcome from all the staff and met the pub manager, who was equally as welcoming. The car park was secure and private and the pub was a really pleasant 10-15 minute stroll into town, along the banks of the river. We had a great stay, both in Shrewsbury and at the Red Barn, and would definitely stay here again if visiting Shrewsbury.

Not a great experience at the Red barn. We booked for our 21st wedding anniversary, we were kept waiting at the bar while the bar staff was checking her phone, when we asked about starters we were told 'yes it's mozeralla sticks and stuff' we ordered starters that we found on the website as there was no Sunday lunch menu on the table We were shown to a table with a hole in the seat which wasn't acceptable . When our food came it was very good. You couldn't fault the food. Its the customer service that was very unacceptable. I work in customer service and do mystery shops. If I was on a mystery shop these would be getting a bad report and I won't be returning for a while.

As if a funeral wasn’t hard enough to deal with, now being completely gaslit. 95% of funeral party all getting sick within 24-48hrs of visiting is not a coincidence - especially as we’re all from different regions of the U.K. Disgraceful reply.

I was looking for a pub lunch and came across this. Actually had some decent veggie options so well done for that alone. Staff were nice as well and helpful. Place was clean too. Recommended and will go back next time I am in shrewsbury

Stopped for a Sunday lunch after a long journey and was pleasantly surprised. We had a lovely Sunday lunch with lots of fresh vegetables. My only quibble was the extra £3.50 if you wanted Cauliflower Cheese. At a cost of £13.50 for a roast I...

Young girl who served us was absolutely fabulous, she was there ready to serve as soon as we finished our drinks, she made sure everything was ok throught our time there and is an absolute gem to have working for you. She is so polite and was constantly finding herself jobs and communicating with everyone in the pub checking on everyone. Absolute star!

We stayed here on a Friday night. We phoned to ask if there was availability for a motorhome and arrived 15 minutes later, the landlord waited in the car park to meet us. All the staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We ate in the pub and the food was great. The menu stated that the chips were skin on but when they arrived, they were not, this was a bonus as neither of us are that keen on skin on chips. The steak was tender and cooked to perfection. We were offered the use of an outside tap for water. Although we were a couple, we would recommend the pub for those with children as there was a children's play area with bouncy castle. We would definitely stay again.

Eugh, why can’t places just do basic things well?! The atmosphere and decor is absolutely spot on, got our drinks quickly, all fine, but then the sunder dinners arrived and although they looked beautiful it was the driest thing I’ve had in a long time. The beef was chewy and inedible, and I could’ve choked on the turkey it was bone dry. Roast potatoes were ok but not crispy at all. The veg was so weird, orange cheese on the cauliflower but it didn’t say on the menu anything about cheese so my husband couldn’t eat the veg as he doesn’t like cheese. Weird red tomato sauce on the sugar snaps and red cabbage. I would’ve expected carrots, broccoli maybe peas. Not enough gravy. My son had a burger which he couldn’t eat as it was soggy. He said the texture was like tuna. Vile. My niece had a kids chicken burger which she really didn’t like either. We didn’t complain as it was my dad’s birthday and we didn’t want to spoil the vibe. I also don’t think they gave us the meal deal price for a Sunday despite having 4 roasts and 3 desserts.

Shopping experience ok. Not enough organic products!! Tesco's seem to have stopped doing a lot of organic. Very disappointing.
