Red Lion in Shropshire

Nice people, quiet area all as expected.

A lovely evening at The Red Lion in Shrewsbury. Excellent food and friendly and efficient service even though it was very busy. The beef and red wine lasagne was particularly good. We were able to sit outside afterwards on an unusually warmish April evening.

It was a lovely evening sorry I pressed the wrong button before I did not mean to press 1 it should have been 5

Always good food, good service. Staff attentative and polite

Fab service as always staff are always friendly and welcoming! New menu was nice food tasty and good value for money!

Great service from the friendly Red Lion team. Tasty food, reasonably priced, lovely friendly atmosphere 👍

Gemma was a lovely server on Mother’s Day

Really good pub grub at a good price, staff very polite and helpful. Will be returning, an inexpensive treat for the family and a good pint.

great food, lovely staff especially rachael who we ordered food from, will definitely come back.

The food was great and Rachael was so friendly and so lovely

After booking a table on line just received a call asking for us to pre order and leave a deposit. Never had to do this before sadly they have lost out on a table of ten. Shame on them

Tasty food. Very friendly staff. Dog friendly.

Having already left a review recently, I would ordinarily not leave another one so soon. However, as it was a new menu, I felt it was only fair to comment. As always, the service was exceptional, Seán and Gemma were outstanding and so welcoming. The new menu delivered great value for money and some interesting choices. I personally opted for the Cheeseburger spring rolls starter, which were surprisingly good and followed that with the Pork Tomahawk main. What an amazing main meal.... much better than expected (order extra BBQ sauce with it). Thank you to the whole team for a wonderful meal and evening.

Fantastic fry up, very good value and Gemma was brilliant 👏

Friendly service, good value for money. Food served promptly, piping hot and tasty.

We had a classic breakfast & coffee which was excellent & great value. The staff were very friendly & polite. We’ll definitely be back & would be happy to recommend to others

Good food, good service and 2x complimentary drinks, cheers

Longer wait for food than warned about. However, most people had already eaten, so I'm not sure what the delay was. Our sizzler meals were nice but not really worth the money and were quite cold considering they were served on a sizzler, also the fries on the top of the pot were cold so must have been sat for a while. The staff were all really nice and looked to be working hard but we won't be rushing back.

Gemma was amazing, had a lovely family meal thoroughly enjoyed! We will be back! :) x

Excellent service . Food arrived quick with no problems Definitely come again in

Lovely service and lovely staff, they even let us keep the pint glass haha! They were really kind and patient even considering how busy it was. Cheap and cheerful, would recommend!

Amazing food, so much choice and great value for money. The staff were lovely and attentive. Especially Gemma she couldn’t do enough for us. She made my mums birthday very special.

Olli was great,.busy bar but got me a table and got the food our prominently afterwards, will be coming back great food!

Always a good meal value for money, think the lady's name was Gemma? Was particularly helpful.

Excellent service, lovely staff Fantastic food and great value for money Highly recommended

Beautiful place, friendly staff and amazing food!

Fab place for meal chatting music not loud food lovely hot as well Friday evening was little busy but the staff worked well and coped with customers Only issue was desert ice cream melted due to hot glass dish and only 2 profitarols and no salted caramel to taste

I love the red lion, especially Sean the manager and Gemma the assistant. We are always made to feel welcome. Fantastic staff, great food, amazing selection of beers and ales.

Called in for lunch today with friends today. Beautiful Spring Day. Excellent food.Great company. Prompt service. Attentive staff. Wide ranging menu. All round a great visit today. Thanks again

Great food fabulous service love it

Overcooked steak, no check back after 45 minutes while waiting for my partner to eat her meal. Extremely disappointed 😢

Fantastic service! Food and bar was superb

We all loved our food, good quality and hot. A great selection of pudding which we couldn’t resist. We had a 25% off voucher to use, unfortunately it was only for week days which we wouldn’t be able to use as we travel to eat there and wouldn’t be able to visit it the week.

Good service and very good food

50min wait for food that was dry and overcooked. This was a business lunch that affected the rest of the day badly due to the excessive time it took for food to come. We won't be coming back.

Surprised how busy it was for a Tuesday lunchtime, saying that the standard of service didn't drop an ounce... We ordered via the app and food and drinks were served very quickly. Only downside was one steak on a mixed grill wasn't the best. But mine was on point. Good value for money and good vibe. Edit.....middle of the year your ok, but anytime in December will be a one hour wait but they'll tell you half an hour. Under staffed for Christmas parties etc really didn't help the slow service and cold overcooked food.

Jack was really helpful and super attentive, food was lovely and hot

This was a great visit. We only call in a couple of times a year and each time it has been different. The food, service and atmosphere were fantastic. Really worth a visit for some straightforward, well cooked food. Big enough menu to sarltisfy anybodys' taste. We visited as a family of six.

Visited recently for a birthday party and will be back - great food, atmosphere and customer service!

Local for us very friendly and great service

Good atmosphere plenty going on service quick and food good and reasonably priced

Great pub with good, reasonably priced food and drinks. Food caters for children too. Nice atmosphere and quiz on a Sunday night is good. Jemma who works there was great and delivered fantastic service. Would recommend!

Had a large breakfast and was well presented.

Great place to come with family and friends. Helpful and friendly staff. Lots to choose from on their menus with good offers!

Food was good, service fast , nice atmosphere, just wot we wanted

Great service, very attentive and lovely food. Hunters chicken and STP. Can’t complain.

Really great pub, great food at a great price

Really good veggie options and great price. Nice atmosphere in the pub and so clean and tidy. Dogs made to feel welcome too, we will be back!

Great food. Friendly staff and a efficient service which helped because we didn't have to wait too long for our meals when we had young children in our party.

Always great when we come here! Staff very professional and friendly. Food is great too, brilliant value for money👍🏻

As soon as you walk in there’s an amazing atmosphere, customer service is on point, the food is great quality plus they have a great selection of food on their menus. They have amazing prices on the menu, I’d always recommend this place to anyone and I’d always come here.

Such great service tonight from the team but especially Ollie who always goes above and beyond when we visit either for just a drink or food aswell

amazing experience at the red lion!! our server amy was brilliant providing service to make our night amazing 😻 such an asset to the team, food was great too

Come in here quite often for a drink and occasionally for food, staff have always been very welcoming even when they’re getting battered! Food has always been good and this has definitely become our regular, Ollie especially is always attentive and friendly,

Great food, friendly and welcoming staff, especially Jess and Liam. We love coming here. Highly recommend eating at The Red Lion.

Lovely food, cooked and brought out together in good time considering we were a large party. Helpful and attentive staff 🙂 Would definitely recommend and go back!

Great food, great atmosphere always made to feel welcome by all the team 👍

Great pub, great staff. Will definitely be back again soon.

Liam is very handsome and charming, his service was amazing and so was Jemma’s and Fions

We went here for a family meal this evening, food was good, atmosphere was good as well. We didn’t have any hassle booking for a table of 14 at short notice, all food was prepared promptly, we would eat here again.

Great place, had a very nice meal, had the giant gyros and I was very impressed! Ollie was great on the bar too, 10/10 :)

They were out of tandoori should have advised customers we waited some time in a queue only to be told to reorder we walked out no time to wait again

My family and I visited the Red Lion, Battlefield this evening, to celebrate my special sisters birthday. What a great experience. Mains, desserts and drinks. Thank you Jo. You are a credit to the Red Lion. You have a natural charm in communicating with the customer. You put my sister at ease. Your colleague singing Happy Birthday to her, was an amazing touch. The whole team are awesome. Thank you.

Lovely birthday meal for family. Excellent service and food 5***** great service from Joe

Came here for mum’s birthday ( 30/1/25) very warm welcome to start. Joe was are friendly waiter. Food very nice we all had something different not a problem with anything. Lovely people definitely be going back.

We loved it. We haven't been before but we will be coming back. I loved the child friendly atmosphere with games for the children to play. The staff were friendly and helpful and it was a nice table. The price was also extremely good!

Lovely meal ! Excellent service very friendly staff

Had a meal at the red lion. It is such good food we visit weekly. Excellent service. Staff are friendly. Really clean. Wonderful atmosphere Highly recommend

Had to wait 40 minutes for the food although it was very busy and people who came in after us had their meals 15 minutes before ours. Ordered 5 meals and the burgers were fine but the mixed grills and steak and chips were cold and not cooked very well, had to ask for the steak sauce that we ordered. The staff were very nice though but a bit disappointed for the money we spent.

Great service great staff great pint especially jemmma

Had a lovely meal for my daughter's birthday on Monday, Jemma was so accommodating and lovely. Would highly recommend!

Couldn’t get order correct order the food told the not to add the hot sauce and jalapeños but still come out with this on luckily, this was spotted before my wife had some as she can’t have hot spicy food

Food cooked perfectly. Staff efficient. Doombar excellent.

Every time we go there the service and food is good.

Go quite often food and service great.

Short staffed resulted in cold breakfasts, no cups. Went for my sisters birthday before going out very disappointed

Waiting for more than 50 minutes for food had to ask how much longer and was told it would be at least another 30 minutes there was people ordered before us and were told it it would be another 30 minutes plus

Had a mixed grill and was all beautifully cooked and good value for money. Atmosphere was good. Good took a while but only to be expected as they were busy. Had a good time.

Today has been the worst ever . Totally get that as it’s Saturday that things won’t be as should be . Lady explained hour wait that was fine , ,could see it was busy . Waiters waitresses very attentive . Food awful today . Chef wasn’t on form really put us off

As always friendly, great service excellent food at great value prices. My wife and I both had steak and were both cooked to perfection, we have had steaks at other restaurants at double the price and it hasn't been anywhere as good, would highly recommend giving it a try.

The food was well priced but i have to compliment the member of staff which dealt with us think her name was Jemma she was very professional and helpful. We will definitely return in the future

Always good friendly staff. Food lovely, Never had a bad meal. Excellent value for money affordable pub

Can't beat sizzlers for quality and price

We have been coming to the red lion for Christmas Day lunch for the last 3-4 years. We came this year and thoroughly enjoyed our meal, there was plenty of turkey and tasty fresh veg. Have to say this was the best Christmas meal we have had here. The staff were so friendly and inviting. We will be coming back soon.

Great customer service and reasonable prices! We had never been before but will definitely be returning.

We walked in on Christmas eve, eve and received a warm welcome for my family of 6 plus the dog. The place was lovely , the staff were lovely and most of all the food was lovely too!! The available board games kept the kids occupied, and I was also able to download the Sizzling pubs app, which got me a free drink 😉 We will definitely return Thanks to the team 🙌

I came here for the very first time-just a week last sunday and loved it and so much so, that my friends and I decided to come back here again. Was nice and clean, with friendly and helpful staff.Loved the food too and yeah my friends and I really like it here and would definately recommend it.

The staff were very friendly and the steak is to die for reasonably priced for the standard of food you get would recommend to anyone

Excellent food and company A really good evening

Excellent service and great food

Great place with good quality of food and loads of places to sit at. Olly was brilliant on bar, while Jan and Daria were good with running food. Plenty of free parking as well.

Sean is the best bar man around. Great place and food.

Lovely food never had a bad meal. Staff are all great

Excellent place for peaceful dinning

Very disappointed with the festive meal the veg and the roast potatoes was not fresh very very taste less the turkey was protest. The dinner was well below standard Not worth the money. The Christmas pudding was with custard and not brandy sauce very disappointed

Not very happy with my meal frozen vegetables, frozen roast potatoes,frozen Yorkshire pudding and processed Turkey small stuffing ball which I think was also frozen. Not what I had expected for a Christmas meal.

The food is okay, but never seem to be able to bring the sauce for the steak at the same time. I asked every waiting staff member who passed. Still no sauce. I was also expected to wait for the sauce before eating my meal to get a refund. They did give me a free dessert. I would prefer my sauce if it was once it had happened. I wouldn't be bothered, but every time I have ordered steak with sauce, it arrives 10 mins after the steak. It is not acceptable then to say you do not give refunds when you have eaten the meal.

Do not order roast turkey option on the festive menu. Change to the steak and chips. The roast is two slices of rolled up processed turkey. The potatoes are not nice and the vegetables are frozen. The staff are lovely. Long wait between starters and mains.

Edit - There is English. Thank you for your completely broken English in your response whereby you ignored the majority of my review. Because of it you have lost even more stars. I really don't understand how some owners can be so out of touch. --- While it looks nice, the complete lack of any warnings regarding the low ceiling beams is concerning. I did graze my head on the first one and they only got worse after that. Usually they'll be marked with hazard markings with signs. But I guess plastering the whole dinning room with warnings would destroy the atmosphere. Food took ages to come out and was a complete mess. Ordered hunters chicken with salad instead of chips and managed to get salad and chips... Without any peas. Steam was mostly fat and gristle. Ordered medium rare but got a burn piece of rubbish. Onions tasted like they got cooked in dish soap. Onion rings soggy. Staff ended up being incredibly rude and started clearing the table before we even finished. There was no reservation for the table... Just a complete lack of basic service. Not worth half of the price paid and good luck not ending up in A&E with a concussion.

Good food, helpful staff and plenty of parking.
