Steam Wagon Inn in Shropshire

Surprisingly quiet for a Sunday, but great service and a good selection of drinks.

It's like another variant of weather spoons. One barmaid was very nice and friendly, the other was just plain miserable, that let it down a bit, nice selection of beer and food and nice outdoor seating area.

Great music by Mark Neil Music, didn't eat but the Sunday lunch looked top quality and big portions.

Great pub can't wait till they do food.

Could be worse, not eaten here in a while and was pretty poor last time I did. Bar staff are decent and landlord seems keen to right any issues so here's hoping it's on the up and up. Decent selection of beer, and they have scampi fries.

Great night here on Friday night.. New landlord and landlady are lovely and interactive with all the customers! Made everyone feel welcome 😊

Nice looking pub, but the garden needs a good tidy up and the inside needs a refit. Pleasant staff and friendly locals made the place

Great place to find sports on a multitude of TVs throughout the whole building, 2 pool tables and 2 dart boards. Ryan was a great bar tender, friendly and helpful and the place looked clean and inviting A new landlord has just taken over and as photos show is looking really nice inside.... The pub also had large outside seating areas for the warmer days Looks a Great place to relax

Just a nice cozy dog friendly pub

Drinks good atmosphere ok music to loud for the size of room

Haven't been there for a meal.all right for a drink .

Great little pub.. with beautiful bar maid

Great Local Pub The Steam Wagon is one of those pubs that are sadly dying off in this country. Real people, real ales, real atmosphere and no pretentious posers. There is a sense of community in this pub due to its location on a large neighbourhood linking 3 or 4 estates, but it works. The landlady knows what acts to put on, what offers to put on and how to interact with people. Its a genuinely good place to drink and socialise in comfort.

Lovely little place, friendly staff and amazing food

Good for watching sport, but 4 drinks including 2 soft drinks for £14 is a bit steep

Great pub, nice lady behind the bar even told me about how to get my pint for free using a promotion. Will definitely be coming back here. Thanks

Absolutely filthy went to walk in and couldn't believe how dirty the door/,entrance was didn't was to touch door but thought give inside a look seemed OK so got drink sat outside drink ok outside shabby husband brought another drink and my glass was VERY dirty and sticky so took back changed no problem fresh glass/drink decided to use toilet before heading home no toilet paper on leaving again didn't want push door Absolutely filthy shame on you all won't be returning

Ladies behind the bar were lovely, ordered a couple of pizzas 🍕 which took quite a while to arrive. One of the pizzas was a spicy beef, but arrived with no jalapeno as described. We asked about the jalapeños to be told they ran out. So, not a spicy beef pizza 🫤 Maybe next time inform the customer it won't be spicy 🔥

Lovely atmosphere, great estate pub

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and lots of entertainment. Lovely place to chill 🙂

Always friendly, with great service

Great buffet and cheap prices for food and drink. They can be a little inconsistent but even on the occasions where food items are missing or the quality isn't as high as usual there is more than enough decently cooked food to forgive this as they provide this service all year round. You basically get to fill your plate with a choice of fresh meat, veg, stuffing, potatoes and gravy with various options to suit most. I havnt tried there other food but have heard good things

If your going here just for a pint it does seem lovely but I wouldn't recommend eating here. Normally I never leave food but this was a different story. Waited over an hour get food in which starter was over cooked and rock hard which you could break your teeth on. Main was also the same dry and over cooked I could even stand my fork up in the mushy peas. Would not go back for food unless they start getting better ingredients and a better chef

Blonde lady behind the bar is very rude and makes you feel uncomfortable when your in there by not paying attention to you (talking to other staff over you) and the pint we ordered tasted off as she was swilling 2 pints into one glass and served it us, it tasted a bit off, obviously, so when I asked to swap it she was extremely rude saying how it's 'not ok' I told her. Completely unacceptable to treat customers like that. Won't return again

Really friendly people great food and I really enjoyed playing darts there

Enjoy the evening lovely friendly atmosphere we had a bit of late lunch well the husband who did fish and chips he enjoyed but maybe in coeliac there is nothing on the menu for me

Very clean and well presented pub. Lovely helpful bar staff and management. Decent pub grub at a very reasonable price. Thanks will be back again

Had a great evening tonight, two pool tables, great beer choice and great service, definitely recommend.

A nice warm welcome sadly lacking in visible staff, waiting ✋ far to long to get served.

Arrived at the Steam Wagon at 5-30 pub reasonably busy. Went to the bar asked if they were doing food to be told thats a yes .Served by a very pleasant youngman who was most obliging ,sat at a table looked at the menu then ordered food at the bar. First meal arrive thrown onto the table by a waitress who did not want to be there. Asked for cutlery and sauces as none had arrived, Second two meals arrived by the same couldn't care less waitress as said before did not want to know us Asked again for sauces to be brought by the youngman who severd us the drinks. Two meals were unedible chichen best cooked in microwave so texture was vile and bland. Gamon the same no colour fat not crisp also done in microwave disgusting way to cook a meal. The youngman did come back to ask if everything was OK, to which we told him not at all happy but as we were hungry ate what we could. Will not be going again stay away from the food side drinks only. Happy Christmas One star for the youngman who served our drinks a big thank you to him.

Lovely local pub highly recommended

Great family pub. good food Live entertainment

Over priced but very nice pub and atmosphere tho food was not all fresh ingredients

Fantastic pub great experience and lots of friendly people

Friendly staff and a pleasant outdoor area for you to sit on the warm nights

Good saves nine beer to.friandly pub

Hard to rate as I didn't order food, just went for a couple of pints and we sat outside. But it was a decent drink and sitting outside was nice, the lady that served us seemed friendly.. the floor near the bar was a bit sticky. But other than that it was fine

Lovely outside space. Far enough from the road not to get any fumes. Very nice staff. Lovely food.

Fantastic night out with superb live music & a great crowd.

Friendly staff great outdoor space

At the moment the Hospitality sector is being hit hard, opening and closing doors, fighting to get customers back in and spending, so you would have thought after booking a table for a meal and some drinks that the pub would be bending over backwards to get everything right, serve great food and give great service right! Well actually quite the opposite, firstly they had not bothered to grit their car park so this was an instant hazard as soon as you stepped out the car. there were 4 of us eating and the food order was messed up in many ways, not enough cutlery provided, items missing, items cold, items arriving late (when asked for some salt the waitress threw the packet of salt on the table) When the food did arrive it was underwhelming, bland and very disappointing, the place was not busy and of course table service only so you would have hoped that the waitress would be attentive, regularly asking for drinks orders etc, however it was a struggle to get the attention of the staff who were more interested in chatting between themselves behind the bar. Do the owners actually want to welcome customers, provide decent food and services, encourage repeat business and build their reputation via word of mouth, it seems not, not much effort made, I think there are more deserving hospitality locations who are fighting to survive, if this place goes under it wont be missed im afraid!

Visited once open after lockdown, covid measures in place, felt very safe. Christmas decs up. Friendly staff. Will definitely be returning

Visited on the off chance for food. Lovely venue, friendly staff, covid safe and following all the measures. Will definitely be visiting again

Visited after lockdown great food good service highly reccommend. Very festive great atmosphere will be returning

First day back after lockdown lovely food great service

Good food, friendly staff. Nice place.

Lockdown measures in place, very pleasant staff , everyone abiding the rules. Christmas decorations everywhere , very festive.

Great homely environment, friendly staff and great atmosphere. All of the lockdown guidelines are in place and perfect service.

Friendly and full. It was lockdown Eve and most people just seemed to be chilling and having last night good time. Staff efficient and attentive following covid protocol. Would have given 5 stars but I'm a cider man or real ale man and neither strongbow or thatchers rocks my boat.

It was a fun atmosphere we had an enjoyable evening, the social distancing was good ,table service good , and the cider was pleasant.

Nice place now its been refurbished

Thought me and my partner would go to our local for a few drinks and some live music, while there a member of staff told a customer to ‘sort her f*cking sh*t out’ and then later on another member of staff who as regulars we know works there even though she was in drinking was screaming and swearing at another women, while her partner was threatening that same woman. Definitely don’t recommend this pub if that’s the staff they choose to have.

visited on a Saturday night. Live music good shame about the young children sat at a table until 11 and 12 o'clockwhilst their parents were drinking at the bar. The mother of one child challenged me because she said I gave her funny looks when I spoke back to her her husband physically threatened me. Needless to say I wont be returning.

Fantastic value and atmosphere.

Very good food. Wasn't a fan of the wooden cutting board for a plate though. Nothing like a good old fashioned ceramic plate.

Wow, totally amazed with the Steam Wagon tonight. A top notch live band that amazed all senses, sort of reminded me of the wagon of old. Nice to see happy faces and a cracking atmosphere, keep up the good work guys, you will reap what you sow

Brilliant service ..,when I park my wagon in caterpillar car park across the road it's always a nice welcome

Lovely pub, great atmosphere we will definitely be going back.

After walking in on the of chance we was glad we did food was perfect, staff couldn’t do enough for our party will definitely be Back again

Visited this establishment for lunch having enquired from a couple we met by chance, if they could suggest anywhere we may get something to eat.....Bad mistake....the restaurant was cold and empty and with just a couple men in the bar area...Nevertheless we sat ourselves at a table and were approached by a very friendly and helpful bar lady who subsequently took our order....cod and chips...Almost half an hour later the dish arrived....batter and chips with a few peas....There was hardly any fish but lots of hollow batter and any fish there was, was stuck to the skin, having been overcooked...and no way resembled cod which was ordered. SInce this was from the main menu and almost £12 each we felt very aggrieved and complained...A replacement waa offerred which we declined as did not have the time to wait another 30mins....consequently our monies were refunded with an apology and we were told the chef was complaining to the supplier as it was the batter mix which was at fault!!!!! A very disappointing experience and one which we will not be repeating...over cooked chips...overcooked fish and little of it and hollow batter.....why would we return ???

Booked a Christmas get together with the girls from work. From the time we arrived to the time we left we were looked after. The bar staff are very polite and attentive and the Landlady is very pleasant and helpful. We booked and paid for our meals beforehand, some having two and some having three course meals, everything was already organised on the table and we even had place names with our courses on them. The wine was in ice buckets with ice (which is a bonus as we have been to places before and paid for expensive wine that was warm with no ice or water in the bucket) all the starters came out together. So did the other courses, with plenty of time between different courses. The food was hot enough and the wine went down a treat. Thank you for a Lovely Christmas do. XWould highly recommend a meal. They also have tvs in the bar and games room and the toilets were very clean.

It has good beer and very pleasant staff.

Nice friendly staff, unfortunately they're training leaves a lot to be desired, this is down to head office, especially when it comes to knowledge of cocktails

I had their breakfast and coffee. Food was ok. Coffee beans a bit "harsh".

Really pleasant food, good value for money too. Staff were very pleasant, nice atmosphere too. Will definitely be returning again.

The burger I just ate was as good a quality you will find anywhere in this country. Fair play was the mutts nuts

Visited for lunch. Lunchtime menu 2 courses £10, we had a 2 course and a jacket potato. Nice chips ordered as side as no potato with chicken salad. Rather poor portion, I wouldn’t order it again, just peppers, beetroot and lettuce and strips of chicken. Nice jacket potatoes with little salad. Staff very friendly and helpfulBit difficult getting in through 2 doors with wheelchair but staff helpful

They keep a good pint of beer here .. entertainment was good too .. nice pub...the refurb has given the place an upgrade ..heard bad things about the food..shame if they could get that right it would be a great place

I agree with everything iread on here I moaned about lager being rubbish 1 night it was dish water then my wife and daughter went for meal they could not get that correct my son went with is girlfriend for a meal the chicken burger was still raw but because I spoke my mind I get barred like I say all facts not lies like the owner I wonder if staff have correct hygiene papers see they even get petty now there will more yet

Place used to be brilliant.proper wet pub. Now it's very loud, kid's everywhere and generally not a nice place to be. Don't know where they spent over £450.000. probably on the Labour.

Visited this pub on a weekday afternoon. After reading about its reopening in the local press I was expecting it to be a lively and vibrant place to take our visiting friends. However, we were the only customers in there and seemed to be outnumbered by the staff who were sat in a corner talking amongst themselves. We did stay for a drink but didn't eat as it felt a little odd sitting there by ourselves.

Lovely food and reasonably priced

Went in for a meal at Lunch time when the meals arrived the one was wrong being Gammon not Scampi as ordered. The waitress turned around as we said we hadn’t ordered Gammon and said yes we had no apology or anything.She then agreed to take it back but as walking back through the door turned to her colleague and said ‘She Ordered Gammon’. Went in to ask for a refund due to lack of apology and the rudeness of her attitude and pretty much calling us Liars. The Land Lady then proceeded to say that her staff never had said that we had ordered Gammon and that they only said they thought that, even though the Land Lady was not present for the situation. Perhaps if staff were concentrating on their jobs rather than all sitting around in the corner of the pub together then maybe there wouldn’t be so many issues and maybe if staff had training on manners.

Bar person very nice and obliging, unfortunately the meals left a lot to be desired. The cod and chip meal was below standards expected of Punch Taverns Will probably not go again

Third time eating there since opening very disappointed with the meal dose not seem the same care over the quality of the meal's as the last two

The cheese burger was dry value for money on the food is not good at all. However the beer and the selection they have on tap is brilliant and it's very clean on the Inside

We have been going to The Wagon for many years, had many an excellent time & met lots of lovely people, since refurb, they have taken away Strongbow Original,(apparently there are too many chemicals in it, according to new landlady) there are no more in that, than any other Beers. Wine has gone up. Now going elsewhere. B & J Shrewsbury

Very slow service for both food and drink. More of a drinking pub than a nice place to eat.

Decided to try the food at this newly refurbed pub, just because it's not far from home. My husband had the roast beef and I had the nut roast. Nut roast was dry. Mashed potatoes on both meals had been served up with a teaspoon, and the gravy jug for my husbands meal was smaller than most cafés serve milk in.

Food was fantastic and service was great.

We have been visiting this pub for many years and for the last few it has been a drinks only pub. Fair enough you know what you are getting and the beer was always well kept, the service quick and polite.

Went for sunday lunch very disappointing under cooked veg not fresh was frozen product but £9.25 wont be going there again

The pub has been renovated lovely . The meal was very disappointing that I waited over an hour for. Asked for medium but as you can see got over cooked .The staff at the end of the night were very rude and used bad language towards my friends and I when they wanted us to leave . Such a shame as the pub as always been a popular place hope they can get the atmosphere back.

This had been the first Sunday lunch out for some time and decided after seeing the steam wagon had been refurbished to try it. Look of the pub great . Plenty of sports screens . But service slow and disorganised. Food takes too long to be served up especially when eating a Sunday roast that most things all ready prept . Then the desert umm tried serve us the wrong desert that did not order . Then had to ask for the deserts again before they came .had to send fudge cake back as rock hard and nothing like the description. Turned what should have been a nice treat for my partner into a stressful Sunday . Suggest maybe reorganise kitchen so that can handle orders at resnable speed and quality .

Waited well over an hour for the food to arrive and was very disappointed when it did, even the children left still feeling hungry and we had to call at Mac Donald’s to get them a burger to fill them up, won’t be going again

We went for meal at lunch time on Friday 9th aug, all placed our order at the same time and waited for an hour, then one meal came and then asked were the other three meals were and they said it would be 7 mins but never arrived for another 15 mins, food quality poor.

We visited the Steam Wagon pub on a bank holiday weekend as we wanted to watch a tribute band who were playing in the car park.The pub is pretty big and very busy as there was live football on and the locals are friendly with not a sign of any trouble.Trying to get a drink was not the best it took well over ten minutes to get served and they also tell you to use the hut outside for draft carling but the pump was that slow it would take about seven minutes to pour a pint.

Never been before but really enjoyed it x

not great would not go again dirty glasses

Thought I may make this my local as live up the road enjoyed my visit very welcoming

A lovely bar to visit always a good crowd there

Got food poisoning, lad lady is very aggressive

Fantastic and brillent atmosphere friendly staff

Great pub excellent staff.. Goid range of beers and wine.

Nice pub, good venue for events

£3 for lemonade and squash, what a joke! Music box won't return your money if you can't find a song aswell... Better off going co op over the road

Great atmosphere,lively music,good place to be for a beer.

Quiet but nice good food and beer

A large public house that's sits in the centre of a large estate with four separate roads leading to it. Friendly enough and the staff make u welcome but obviously a neighbourhood pub so its very clicky. Great for live sports and plenty of room to sit and chill.
