Riverside Inn in Shropshire

The sitting area and atmosphere were really good. I was with a group of 10 people. We enjoyed sitting and chatting by the river and having drinks. Will visit again. Thanks

Haven't stayed in the accommodation, just stopped for food and drink en route. The bar has lovely riverside garden.

The Mrs, our lad and i had a meal here this evening and it was absolutely beautiful, all the food and drinks were top notch and well worth the money. Our server Jasmine was very attentive and extremely professional. We will be returning and would most definitely recommend to people ✌️

We had a wonderful Sunday lunch with friends, the food was especially good and the young girl Delyth who served us was friendly, efficient and made the experience particularly lovely.

We had a 5 night stay at The Riverside and can not fault one thing. We arrived on Easter Sunday and were met with a warm welcome from the reception staff, he explained everything to us and booked us in for our stay. We dined on 3 occasions in the evening and the food was top quality and cooked to perfection, our Breakfasts on the 5 mornings were excellent, nothing was too much trouble for the restaurant staff to make sure your dining or breakfast meal was to your satisfaction. There was a very good and varied selection of food on the menus. We stayed in room 5 which was on the second floor with a beautiful view over the river. The room was nice and clean and very cosy. The staff were very nice and nothing was too much trouble for them, we got a cheery good morning every day before asking had we slept well and even wished us a very good night. Every one of the staff were very helpful and friendly. Thank you to the Riverside Manager, Team Leaders and all the staff for the best week staying with you. You went above and beyond to make us feel so special. Hope to see you all again. Thanks, Gary & Janice Campbell

Perfect location and really nice food - Server Lesley went above and beyond, really nice lady…

Just had lunch here and it was fantastic! Very great service - thank you Lesley! :-)

The location is lovely, and a good menu. Unfortunately the chicken in the pie was inedible as it had been overcooked, which was a shame as the pie itself was delicious. The staff took off the price of the desserts when I mentioned it again at the end of the meal, and it was dealt with amicably by Joe. The rest of the meal was absolutely fine, and good value for money.

Amazing location and venue. Food was delicious with big portions, it’s not the cheapest but I’d definitely rather pay more for good food, it’s worth it! Waiting staff were lovely, only loses a star due to a frosty welcome, but after that slight disappointment it went really well from there. Recommend!

Good food, nice menu and great service. Lesley was very friendly. Very nice location, would recommend.

We booked for 1230 and arrived a bit early but were seated straight away. Friendly helpful staff and lots of them. Charlie was our server he did a good job of looking after us. Food was as expected for a pub chain, pretty good, but the best thing was the whole experience. The pub was bright and clean throughout inside and out and must have been recently renovated or decorated I imagine. Amazing views over the river from the back, if it had been a dry day it would have been lovely to sit outside. Plenty of parking when we arrived. Can recommend from our experience today.

Lovely food, lovely views and our server Jasmine was very kind and accommodating to our various dietary requirements. Thank you Jasmine!

Having had very poor service the last time we were there, we delayed coming again for quite a long time. So we were delighted that the service was much improved compared to that, thank you Sian. Only a 4 star though as the bar wasn’t manned properly and we struggled to get more drinks when we wanted.

Come for the view. Stay for the no-hitoes.

We have been this evening for a lovely meal with family. We travelled from Stourbridge and met with family from Oswestry. It was a good half way meeting point. We have never been before. But WOW! Beautiful pub as well as absolutely stunning views!! The food was absolutely spot on! Not one single issue with anything from any of us! We had David serve us tonight - this man deserves a raise! He was absolutely fantastic! 100% knows his customer service! He was brilliant with us adults as well as my youngest boy too! Kudos to you David! Keep doing your thing! From the "no ice family!"

Decided to stop here for lunch on the way to North Wales , lovely setting and no trouble finding us a table even though they were busy . Beautiful setting and interior. Food was lovely and staff super, special thanks to Lesley for finding a chocolate free treat to go with the coffee . Would definitely visit again when in the area.

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

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 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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Great venue, great service, great food

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.

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 :)

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Lovely location food average service really bad

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.

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.

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

Best view off the river Severn in the area

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

Great location. Beautiful setting.

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