Riverside Inn in Shropshire

Great C&B on bank of the river Severn. Lovely views from the terrace. Food good and presented well.

We had a family meal on Saturday night we were a large table of 13 of us we were served quickly the food was excellent every meal was so delicious The staff were very efficient and very helpful would highly recommend this place

Had a lovely mothers day breakfast, served by Charlie who was lovely and very attentive

Booked a table of 13 on a busy Saturday night, post Mothers Day. Service was faultless - organised with my pre-order, fast, friendly and as always, super quality food from start to finish!.

We went to The Riverside Inn for an early Mother’s Day treat. It is a regular for us for a special occasion. Never fails. We had a lovely server called Sian ❤️

Great food, ambience and service from Lesley. We had a lovely lunch. Look forward to coming back again soon 😊

We went for a meal to celebrate our anniversary. Throughout we were served by Fin B who was lovely to talk to and provided excellent service. The view from where we were sat looked out onto an outside seating area and a green area. The choices available for food was quite wide and we both had a lovely main course and shared a dessert.

Charlie was brilliant! Exceptional food and the service was excellent!

Lesley is gives us great service in the restaurant. We always like the Riverside.

Outstanding location, beautiful views of the river. Service is a little slow but friendly. The pub is a chain pub, so the same menu as others in the chain. Food is good (for a pub) and parking is plentiful. There's also outside tables for a quiet drink in the sun, great for summer.

My wife and I had dinner here recently and made reservations in advance as it tends to book up. Our reservation was for 5:30pm on a Tuesday and it was close to being fully booked an hour later. We were seated at a nice table with a lovely view out onto the Severn and surrounding countryside. Our server was polite and attentive. I started with the Barbecue Chicken Strips which had a very light batter and tasted very nice. For a main I had the Cheddar & Bacon Burger. The food was tasty with respectable portions. The burger came with fries and three onion rings. The location is excellent, right off the A458 with plenty of parking. There is ample space for seating both indoor and outdoor whether it's for food or just a drink. Overall a very pleasant experience and we will definitely return.

Had a lovely lunch with my friend today and had a lovely time. Great service from Caitlin who was very kind & courteous. The food was lovely and I shall indeed be back.

I was so excited to try your restaurant as we've previously been for drinks in your outside area and I love the setting. I booked online and then called in to ask a question about how long we'd have the table for and what time breakfast orders needed to be in by. It was for mothers day and I wanted to be sure we'd booked with enough time so we would not feel rushed. First challenge was getting past the AI then when I finally got a person on the line the lady that answered was so rude and dismissive that it's put me off so I've cancelled. There are plenty of restaurants in Shrewsbury so no need to have to put up with rude staff especially when I'm spending my money with you. A real shame for us and you in the long run.

We were so well looked after by Lesley at the Riverside that I felt compelled to leave a review! The food was great and we enjoyed the view over the river during lunch. The experience was made that much better by the service which was top drawer!

Had a lovely meal at the Riverside Inn, with a catch up with a friend From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by friendly, welcoming staff, ordered drinks and were promptly shown to our table There were 3 menus to choose from, we ordered and starters arrived very quickly and similarly our main meal too The food was very tasty, great portion sizes and Caitlin who was our server was very friendly and accommodating At great experience and somewhere which I’ll definitely be going back to

Manager would not allow my 87 year old husband to use his walking stick. They suggested walking sticks are a health and safety issue so not allowed. It was certainly a safety issue for my husband to have to walk without it. So we shall not be able to visit again. Food nice, waitress very good. Manager and new rules not good. Thank you for your reply. Yes my husband was allowed in, I don't dispute that he was allowed in but his walking stick was not allowed = a very difficult access for my husband.

Food was amazing, customer service was amazing, lovely clean fresh place will definitely be going again

Beautiful setting. And great food . Outdoor seating area is great in the summer.

Had lovely meal for son’s birthday. Beautiful setting. Friendly and helpful staff

Spent a lovely Saturday afternoon at the Riverside Inn. Food was amazing and the service was the best part of this experience. Our lovely server Lesley made us feel very welcome and the overall experience from her was brilliant. Will definitely be coming back :)

Visited today with the family and had some lovely food. I had the pan seared chicken and it was the best chicken I’ve ever had. Was delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely Saturday afternoon for a birthday meal. It was great to have good service from an attentive and personable individual and would like to thank Lesley for making us feel welcomed.

Great venue, great service, great food

Lovely location,staff very friendly and attentive and the service was 5* and the food was delicious 😋 thanks

The location is brilliant. The setting is lovely. We enjoyed our food The service though as always is sloth like.

Good food, well presented. Beautiful location.

The food and scenery here are great

Both meals were very enjoyable. Our waiter Charlie was very attentive and good at his job. Lovely atmosphere looking forward to visiting again.

Amazing food& great staff. Charlie was great, very friendly and couldn't help us enough. Thanks all.

Easily Pre booked a table on line for lunch with friends . Excellent service from Jasmin, Chicken & Bacon Baguette, Steak& Ale Pie and two barbers smothered chicken with bacon one of which was Gluten free. ( plenty of choice for gluten free option ) We waited a little longer than usual but we weren't complaining as they were rather busy. a pleasant surprise they took off a round of drinks off the bill and said we shouldn't have had to wait that long for our meals overall excellent food, service and setting for lunch time meal.

Sunday lunch for 4 on 16/2. Chose Riverside Inn based on good reviews but sadly did not live up to expectation. Sunday roast was average at best - Yorkshire puds dry and crispy, roast potatoes flavourless (not rosemary and garlic as on the menu). Our waitress, though polite, kept abandoning us (and tables nearby) so we had to find someone to take our order. Mains and dessert for 4 took almost 3 hours! Would have complained but didn’t want to search for someone to speak to! An underwhelming and pricey experience.

Lovley views (even on a rainy day), very good food with plenty of choice for the kids and excellent service from Lesley, who could not have been more accomidating for us all. Would highly recommend.

We were served by Anna and Lesley. Great venue but can the gully emptier be persuaded to visit early morning before lunchtime service next time please! 😀 Superb service from attentive and friendly staff. While we enjoyed our lunch we both felt the chips were not as good as they usually are - dry and tasteless. Shame, would have been a 5* review otherwise.

We came here for our Christmas day lunch and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The staff were fantastic and everything was as we'd ordered and arrived in very good time. The food was all absolutely lovely, with generous portions.

Thank you once again for an excellent meal on Christmas eve service exceptional has usual congratulations to you all from the Hindly party

My partner and myself visited on Christmas day for our Christmas dinner. The lovely staff went above and beyond to make our visit special. The food was absolutely amazing, great pride and care had clearly gone into the preparation and presentation of the food, the turkey was the most tender and tasty I've ever had. To top it all off the venue was lovely and was set out so it wasn't crowded and noisy giving a feeling of a quieter and a more private dining experience. The views of the River Severn were lovely from where we were sat. I will certainly be booking Christmas dinner again next year as it was perfect in every way.

Had the festive menu, good food served quickly at a reasonable price. Izzy was our waitress, very efficient & pleasant.

Very well presented and comfortable inn. It has recently been done up and now looks great, all be it a nighttime visit. Staff were on the ball and friendly. Charlie are waiter was great, the food was fantastic and not badly priced either. Only criticism was the lower conservatory dining area was cold ,one little blow heater wasn't cutting it, whilst the rest of the inn was lovely and warm. Remember, warm air flows up cool flows down. Will return to see it in the daylight

Excellent food, ser ice and ambience. Best christmas meal I've had in a long time. Leskey our waitress was very attentive during a busy lunch service

We came yesterday for lunch and ate from the festive menu, the food was delicious and Lesley was great. Her recommendations were spot on and she made time to talk to everyone on the table. Thank you so much Lesley.

This was a very pleasant visit, the service was 1st Class . The food was very well presented, beautifully cooked and well flavoured. The atmosphere was relaxed and very welcoming , we hope to return again soon

A lovely venue to meet friends over a meal or a drink.

My lunch menu chicken took an age to arrive, and when it did, it was drier than the Sahara, and the potato was undercooked. Service was appalling, slow drinks, and slow food ....... for the whole group. When coffee arrived for the 8 of us, we asked where the biscuits were. The waitress informed us that there were only 6 left, so nobody got any!! Not being fair!!! This was at 1pm. So, all in all, a sad decline in standards.

Came here for lunch on Thursday 19th December and all I can say is what a fantastic afternoon my friend and I had from the minute we walked through the door. Every member of staff were cheerful and happy especially our waitress Lesley. I have been too many restaurants but never came across such a wonderful, caring and helpful lady who went above and beyond to make sure we have a great lunch. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you all.

Great service and great food :) would definitely return for another meal here. Thank you to all the staff. Very much enjoyed

Had a lovely meal 2day food and service was great well done 2 Emma on her first day and Charlie

I would have given this five stars on everything except with was a really busy Sunday lunch and everything would have been spot on if the lady in charge hadn’t been stressed and then short with us when we asked a question. All the other waiters and waitresses were awesome especially Maddie.

Went there for a meal with friends. Lovely bar and setting. Food was ok nothing special but good ambience and clean

Always a lovey meal at the Riverside inn! Made extra special when Lesley is our server. Lesley always goes the extra mile, is very attentive and one of the loveliest people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting! An absolute asset to the team❤️

Stopped here for lunch on our way to North Wales. The view of the river is fantastic, we visited in November so I would say in the summer sitting outside on the lovely terrace would be very pleasant. The service was excellent, Simone was friendly and attentive and the food was good.

Really cosy and welcoming pub. Food was very tasty and the service was faultless. Would definitely recommend! Thanks to our waitress, Meghan, for being so attentive.

Wonderful family meal celebrating a birthday. Wonderful food and prompt service.

Had a late Sunday dinner here with friends. Service was excellent, thanks to the wonderful Finn B. Food was delicious. Beautiful place, although it was dark and very windy. Definitely goofing back in the summer next year to enjoy the beautiful gardens. David and team make it a friendly atmosphere.

Great food. Good service and good view of river we went there tree times out of the seven of our stay booking advised.early evening is usually quiet

Anniversary meal as a group of 5. We all were really pleased with our meals in a great spot to also appreciate the view. Ellie looked after us with a friendly smile and with a professional manner. All the staff was great actually, even though they were very busy. Our first visit but certainly not our last.

Booked for lunch. Food was excellent and service was perfect. Menu was varied to suit all requirements. We were served by Lesley who made us feel relaxed and went out of her way to ensure we had a great time celebrating my Aunties birthday. Thank you 😊

Amazing food and lovely staff our server Lesley was absolutely wonderful , food absolutely amazing and deserts was great will be coming again

Had a lovely meal for my Mum's birthday, food was very tasty and the service from Sian was excellent! We will come again!!

Fantastic meal, wonderful staff and a beautiful setting. A must go destination!!

So on arrival was taken to our table where it was quite busy and noisy. So we moved to the top. Was given our menu and drinks orders taken. After looking at the menu to which there wasn't much choice if you like fish only seabass. Starter we picked belly pork ribs to share and then told they didn't have. Waitress apologise amd said they should of told u that when they given u the menu. Understandable. So we ordered the cheese garlic bread to share as a starter. I ordered the steak pie. Was asked chips or mash. I asked if I could have a very small portion of both. Was told need to ask chef. Came back and said no 1 or other. I choose mash. When starter came out. Was shocking. No side salad or presentation at all. Mains Pie was tasty. Mash was cold and veg very hard. Seabass Over cooked and dry and covered in to much sauce. Very disappointing This is my 3rd visit and unfortunately will not be returning 😕 I do.have pictures but can't find anywhere to upload

Beautiful location for this professionally run hotel, bar and restaurant. Excellent service and delicious food served all day.

Bit disappointed with our meal today The waiter was very rude and the service was so slow. We was only asked if we want drinks once to the point we had to go to the bar our self. The food was good but they was a massive fly problem in the restaurant and we had flys landing all over our food and it was very unhygienic

Poor as ordered food , brought out main before starter , when main came out, food was warm not hot . Even got the ice cream wrong. Nice pub if you get the right seat with a river view. Staff pleasant

We’ve been to the Riverside a few times as we’re not too far away. It’s always been a good standard of food and is dog friendly which is great. The acoustics of the conservatory out the back can be poor, it gets very noisy so if you are sensitive to that then ask to be seated elsewhere. We’ve been in the last 2 weekends for Sunday dinners and the difference between the weekends was quite surprising. Weekend 1 they had ran out of roasts, replaced them with roasted new potatoes and they were lovely. We had the sirloin beef which was nice enough and a good size portion and this spurred us to go back again. Weekend 2 they had ran out of sirloin so I had rib of beef and the wife had turkey. Both were nice but this week we got a few tiny roasties and a very flat Yorkshire pudding that really shouldn’t have been served. Not sure we’ll bother going back again for a Sunday roast until it quietens down a little out of the holidays. Several other more consistent places to eat in the area.

We had a really nice time her on Sunday evening. 4 of us went for my husband’s birthday after visiting it the Sunday before for drinks in the spectacular outdoor space. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was so relaxing all the staff we had contact with were friendly, polite and welcoming. It’s the best night we have enjoyed for a while. We will definitely be back.

This is our second visit and again it didn’t disappoint. Food was absolutely beautiful, we had a Trio of roasts, Bakewell tart and sticky toffee pudding. Everything about it was delicious, outlook from the conservatory was just beautiful. Our server Lesley was so helpful, friendly and made our experience just perfect! We will be returning very soon! Thank you 😊

Another lovely meal here! Lesley our waitress was super friendly and helpful, would definitely recommend!!!!!!!!!!

We decided to go out last minute for lunch and this had been recommended on Facebook. We managed to get a reservation for lunch. We arrived early so sat in the bar and had a drink first, the Barman was spot on recommending which tonic to pair with a gin i had never tried before too. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Our roast dinners were spot on , was planning to have a pudding but could not eat anything else. Next time i will!

Came here with my family and had a lamb shank and a glass of red wine. Lovely food and location.

Great location, great food, great service

Lovely Sunday lunch, Lesley was amazing and so so lovely. A credit to the restaurant!

Delicious food in a lovely setting.

Excellent Sunday roast today at The Riverside Inn. 3rd or 4th visit this year and never disappointed. Our server, Aimee, was very friendly and attentive. We were a party of 3, one in a wheelchair and every effort was made to make the place accessible. Food and drinks were all delicious. Can't wait to return. Oh and the views of the river and surrounding area are stunning, especially on a lovely sunny day like today.

Had a meal on busy Saturday evening and everything was excellent. We were served by Ellie who was attentive and pleasant. Sat in conservatory with lovely views of river

Amazing food but not enough staff long wait for food and drinks

Lovely location food average service really bad

We as a family of eight visited on father's day and was pleased to have had a fantastic lunch ,service ,setting ,will be visiting again.

Lovely riverside pub / hotel. Had Sunday lunch sat in the bar area as we had our dog with us. Lovely food, good selection of beer and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit.

For the second consecutive visit, we sat at our table at 4pm. After 1hr still waiting for our drinks and starter. After 30 minutes from sitting down, we had to snatch a waiter to get our order taken. Others around us were complaining they had been there 2hrs and were still waiting to order a second drink and desert. Had to walk out after speaking to duty manager who admitted they were short staffed (still!). We asked why on earth they allow bookings in the knowledge they cannot cope? Reply was there was no company policy on it🤦‍♂️ Disastrous birthday meal out for my wife as by time we walked out, there was nowhere serving food Big thank you to Riverside. We won’t be going again and we certainly will be sharing our experience for the second d time

Really nice pub and good food, we came for a meal on Sunday and we’re disappointed with the 45 minute wait for our drinks, after asking multiple times about the wait we were told that there was nothing that could be done. Food came out before the drinks arrived

Great location. Beautiful setting.

Sadly, today is not brilliant 1hr wait and one meal had missing roast potato but 2 lots of cabbage, plate swimming in veg water so everything soggy... manager reason miss plated !!!! It's a std roast dinner! same everything week not buying that. Waste of a few hrs, but give them credit for taking cost of the bill

Best view off the river Severn in the area

Really bad management, staff are rude, but placed in a very nice location/ view.

My husband and I went for my birthday lunch today and on first impressions we were very happy with the location. Unfortunately that is the only postive as it went down hill after that. We were the first to arrive in the restaurant and first to order. All we ordered was snacks and a light lunch each so imagine our shock to find the snacks were the smallest serving we have ever come across. We then had to wait an extra 50 minutes for our light lunches, watching others getting their meals before us. Upon asking the waiter as to where our light lunches was he promptly went to find out but then didn't bother coming back. When stopping him again he said it will be another 10 mins dismissively. When showing our annoyance about such a delay he said it was because we ordered a starter each (?). When I complained to the waitress about the delay when it finally arrived she ran back to the supervisor saying I told her off (wasn't the case at all). When the supervisor arrived she was passive aggressive and was dismissive of our concerns. She also made excuses about them being busy until I pointed out that we were the first to order so why were others getting their meals before us. She made the same excuse as the waiter that it was because we ordered starters (snacks) and that it delayed the meal by 50 minutes. I suspected that they forgot our lunches and did not apologise nor offer an resolutions until I made a comment about a full refund due to the poor service. She was rude and pulled faces and said that we could have a full refund if that is what we wanted (making a rude suggestion that this was our intention all along). We paid despite the disgusting service and poor quality/overpriced meals as we are good people. Moral of the story is don't operate in the service industry if you have no intentions of delivering a quality service. Oh and instead of saying to people who give you poor reviews that you will take things on board and welcome suggestions but not actually doing it, maybe you should actually improve your service. ;{

I recently stayed at the Riverside Inn and it was an exceptional experience! The highlight of my visit was definitely the restaurant. The food was absolutely exquisite, with a diverse menu that catered to a variety of tastes. Each dish was prepared to perfection, and the flavors were incredible. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that all my needs were met and adding a personal touch to the dining experience. The location of the Riverside Inn is stunning, with a beautiful view of the river that added a serene and calming atmosphere to my stay. I spent hours just enjoying the view from my room and the outdoor seating area of the restaurant. It's the perfect spot for anyone looking to relax and unwind. Another fantastic feature was the availability of charging stations for electric vehicles. This was a huge plus for me, as it made my stay even more convenient and eco-friendly. I didn't have to worry about finding a place to charge my car, which was a great relief. Overall, the Riverside Inn exceeded all my expectations. From the excellent food and friendly staff to the breathtaking views and modern amenities, it truly is a gem. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable stay. I will definitely be returning in the future!

Visited 30th May for dinner with my family (party of 8). Food was very nice, price was very reasonable, and service from all the staff was great. Thanks

Lesley our server was fabulous, extremely passionate about delivering a faultless experience for her guests. The food was incredible, best burger I've ever had! Would highly recommend and will be revisiting again soon

Location is lovely, however the staff cannot cope with the huge influx of visitors this place receives. Went on bank holiday Monday for a pre booked late lunch for 8 at 3pm. We didn't receive our mains until 4.30pm which wasn't ideal as it was already a late meal. Had they advised of the wait when we ordered we would have been understanding, however the waiter just wanted to tell us that it was actually his day off and he shouldnt have been there working at that time - not a great vibe. The waitress spilt hollandaise sauce all over my sister when bringing the starters, and although they removed the cost of that starter off the bill (it wasn't her dish), no one offered anything to compensate for the ruined clothing or embarrassment. I even asked when paying the bill if anything could be done, as the service was slow and due to the sauce incident - was told by the waiter who shouldn't have been working that he had already removed the starter, and the wait times were because they were busy - so no. Won't be returning here due to the attitude of some of the staff, and the overpriced food that wasn't worth waiting that long for.

My Granddaughter wanted to have a meal here for her 11th birthday on Bank Holiday Monday, so as you can imagine she was very excited. By the time we ate she was almost 12. To say the service was diabolical is overrated. When we eventually received our starters my daughter had the pleasure of feeling my wife's starter all down her back as the waitress spilt the Hollandaise sauce everywhere, ruining her brand new top. Over an hour later after I had complained the mains arrived, luke warm !!!! No one out of 8 enjoyed their meal. I had the syeak and ale pie which I think was made on Friday it was that hard. £16 for cold chips and pie !!!! We did notice other people complaining about the lack of service. We will definitely not be returning. Thanks for ruining my Granddaughters birthday.

Lovely setting by the river, only stopped for a drink on the way home after a day out. Fairly expensive (£30 for 5 drinks (2 beers, 1 coke, a G&T and a pot of tea) but I suppose that's the price you pay for the stunning location

Delyth was fantastic, such a lovely young lady, very professional and friendly. Also the food was beautiful Thank you John & Wimon

Lovely pub, decided to pop in for a snack on way back from Shrewsbury, lady on desk said we were OK to sit in the bar and gave us a menu we ordered our drinks and sat at table deciding what to eat, then went to order only to be advised couldn't order food was extremely disappointed so had to drink our drinks and find somewhere else, we only wanted sandwiches not a full meal 😢😢

This place is one of my favourite places to eat. It has a great atmosphere, is decorated nicely. Good menu, reasonably priced and service is friendly and efficient. Charlie served us on the last occasion and her was very lovely.

Only stopped here for a quick drink on our way home from a night away in Oswestry but received a warm welcome for us & our little dog.

Great location by the river severn. Very smart establishment. Food was OK . Service was slow.

A beautiful setting. A lovely relax ambience whilst eating gorgeous meal

The food was ok, but the service was non-existent

Aaron was really good made banter with my brother solid service thank you Aaron very cool - - below is a photo of me being very happy

Food was excellent, staff very friendly but not enough of them so there was quite a wait but the view is definitely worth it
