Red Lion in Shropshire

Greeted by Eve, very polite. We chose our table, ordered our food. Very prompt service. Lovely food, piping hot. Well worth a visit Shaun the manager should be oroud of his team

Starters had to be served with the mains. My gammon was cold and my friend’s chicken was pink. Child’s meal was forgotten about. Awful experience

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.

Visited today in a party of 11 (pre-booked). Despite the pub being very busy, our food was all served together and piping hot. Puddings were delivered very swiftly and the service was efficient and pleasant.

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!

We had a fantastic first visit to the Red Lion, Battlefield! The food was delicious, and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. We had a great time at the pub quiz, and Jemma, the manager, was always available to assist with anything we needed. She was exceptionally attentive, ensuring our food and drinks arrived promptly. We’ll definitely be back again soon!

Local for us very friendly and great service

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!

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

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!

Fantastic pub with great selection of food with amazing deals nearly everyday! Whole family enjoyed their food will definitely be back!

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

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

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.

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,

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Lovely meal ! Excellent service very friendly staff

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

Great service great staff great pint especially jemmma

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!

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Excellent service and great food

Family of 4 for a pre Christmas evening meal. Grrat and very well priced food. I especially appreciated the unexpected gifts given to the children. Would recommend.

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

Excellent place for peaceful dinning

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

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.

We had our works Christmas meal here we were all very happy with all our meals and the service was excellent, we will definitely book there again

We usually get a tasty meal at the Red Lion Battlefield Shrewsbury which is why I choose it for our annual works Christmas meal. The 3 course Festive Set Meal seemed reasonable for £20. I was slightly disappointed with my starter but let that go, however the main Turkey meal was awful. 2 rolled up slices of processed Turkey, little veg and no cranberry sauce, although this was served with the Festive Pie meal. Food appeared thrown on the plate. The minimum staff appeared under pressure but did all they could for us to put things right by offering an alternative which only 2 in the group accepted. Overall the meal was extremely poor resulting in everyone leaving their food and we still had to pay the full amount. Staff 10/10. Food 2/10

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.

The staff couldn't be more helpful and are alway very friendly. Its always very busy but well managed. The menu is excellent and food very nice. Only thing I would change is one or two more staff to help the team as it does get very busy.

Great food as always, service with a smile.

Stopped for breakfast as we had previously had a lovely lunch there. Unfortunately the breakfast was way below the standard of the lunch. The bread wasn't toasted in the traditional way but on the griddle with only one side done. I didn't have egg but wasn't offered a substitute. The has brown bites were overdone. My food was lukewarm althoughy husband said his was fine apart from the mushrooms and beans. Really disappointed as we had enjoyed our lunch on our previous visit.

Nothing like service with a smile 😂 Asking for a straw really was the waitress’s final straw…blimey.

Good food, helpful staff and plenty of parking.

Lovely amazing service from Jan and Jemma, food was amazing as always, highly recommend

Lovely service by Rachel and Jemma, Liam who was running food did an impeccable job, very nice young man and is very knowledgeable. Highly recommend the food and will definitely be back again 😋

Very nice meal this evening, there were 9 of us reserved for a booking, there's no table service unless you order on the app but we had to queue at the bar to get our table number. For a Tuesday evening it was quite busy and so were the staff, we felt that there could have been more focus on the bar as there was a lengthy queue at times not helped by our own lengthy order. More staff attending behind the bar would have mitigated alot of waiting around to be served time. That said, we had a large order for both drinks and food, there was a young lady behind the bar which we later found out was her first night serving in bar duties but she was very happy and did her best as quickly as possible, helped out by a young lad (I think his name was Joe) who was a bit of a star, I orders several items off the menu (much to the dismay of the ever growing queue behind me) and reading from a list our group had given me, I read this to Joe and it made alot more sense to him then it did to me, 20 mins passed and we were at our table, me thinking there's no way my food order is going to be nearly correct with only one staff member and a trainee taking multiple orders at a time at the bar (management please help them out). To our suprise everything came out quickly and the food was superb, all credit to the kitchen and also the young lad that delivered our food and came back to check all was ok (don't know his name but we were table 35) unusual for me but we had no complaints on the food , all well cooked to order and very satisfied, good atmosphere and we will definitely be back even if we do have to wait longer than usual at the bar to be served 👍👍

Good breakfast and lovely place

Had a lovely meal this evening, friendly and welcoming staff will definitely be coming back

Fantastic service and food was very satisfying. Jemma was absolutely amazing and so attentive, both bar and floor staff were lovely as well. Highly recommend

We came on a snowy night . It was too cold to remove my winter coat. There was no fire, it was miserable, too miserable to stay and eat, so we left.

always made to feel welcome. great atmosphere & banter with the staff. gemma & olly go well above & beyond to make our visit enjoyable

Steak was lovely . Staff friendly

Great pub, prices and staff! Will definitely be back!!

Great transformation,looks fantastic. Jemma was so hospitable and food was lovely. Sean very welcoming. Thanks to all the team

Had a really lovely meal here for Christmas day. My 94 year mum loved it and was really looked after. Might be her last 😆. Not many people working but they done there best.

Let’s hope the breakfast stays at 9 am opening or at least from a Friday Coffee is great 😊

Visited very recently, first day of Festive specials so my friend and I decided to have the new burgers, I had beef burger, she had halloumi. There is also a falafel option. We also upgraded the fries for an extra £2, we got chopped up pigs in blankets, cranberry sauce, cheese and gravy on them, they were delicious! My friend is a big fan of the chocolate lovers sundae, if you like sweet, you’ll love this. There was an all female crew at the bar and serving the food and they did a great job, it was very busy with some large tables. We have always had good service here, it is busy around 6pm on a weekday but we’ve always found a table luckily and we will return.

Lovely pub with great staff and lovely food Very friendly and great atmosphere

Lovely meal and the service from Jessica was fantastic. Well done all 👍

We came in for food today, my wife chose the lasagne and I chose the chicken gyros Flatbread it was rather busy and we got our food after waiting around 25 mins which was fine. About half way through, i was chewing something cold and not very nice, I removed it from my mouth to discover it was raw chicken. This was not undercooked but completely raw. I then noticed that there was raw chicken mixed in with completely cooked chicken. I called a member of staff over and pointed this out, she didn't even look at my food but just said, I can promise you that it's impossible that it's raw I said please look she picked it up and returned with my five pound something and slapped it on my table with no eye contact. It's not about the money I said. Please inform your chef that you have a serious cross-contamination problem. Chicken is the worst meat for carrying bacteria. I seriously doubt she even told the chef about my complaint for fears he may walk out. I am a chef and own a restaurant with my wife [ its our day off]. EHO will be informed and will be provided with pictures of the raw chicken on my plate BTW, we had no apology at all

Great meal, but service with a smile from the bar staff would've been nicer

Went in for breakfast the food was lovely as ever food was was brought over by Jan who was willing to do anything to make the customer have the best time the person who took my food was Joe no clue who the chef was

My husband booked a table for us both on Friday early evening food was excellent order correct and nicely presented and food was hot plenty of staff on shift very helpful and pleasant especially Sarah she was excellent definitely going back 😀

Great meal tonight. Very busy as the Featherbed is closed but coped well. A new young lad Marley doing a great job working the floor.

Our group of vintage vehicle enthusiasts (42 in all) had a great Thursday evening meal. We were all well looked after and the service was excellent considering it was such a busy night. Great food and attentive and very helpful staff who were well organised by Sarah, So helpful with some of our group who had special requirements, nothing was too much trouble, lovely atmosphere. Our second year here, look forward to next year
