The best food, best people, best time spent there. Welcomed warm and service amazing. Highly recommend. Food is tasty and definitely makes you want to come back over and over.

Lovely pub. Nice bar staff. An asset to the village.

Nice staff & very friendly, & good service

The staff were brilliant in providing friendly service of food and drinks at a family event. A very pleasant environment.

Very friendly local pub with great beer and food, detour for pizza Thursday. Worth the effort!

Small menu but the food is outstanding, staff are wonderful

Great village pub, lovely staff and service, had a marvelous double Espresso

Called in for a bite to eat on pizza night. Delicious pizza and friendly service. Nicely presented setting in a pretty village.

Great food, good atmosphere & friendly service

Really friendly staff, very helpful. Food was amazing, kids loved the basket meals, I had the buttermilk chicken, best I've ever had 😁. The beer garden will be great, if it ever stops raining. Soon you again soon 👍🏻

Just had a fab meal here. The food was gorgeous, cooked to order so piping hot and fresh. The whole place was spotless and covid measures excellent without spoiling our meal. Highly recommended and would definitely eat here again.

Staff were very friendly, felt welcomed. Good beer at a good price, and fantastic food too!

Good atmosphere and friendly people and service

Warm welcome lovely food and a nice pint

Visited most restaurant’s for Sunday lunch around the shire and definitely the best around.. food all cooked fresh, well presented by friendly helpful staff. Will be returning soon

Great Local Pub, Credit to the landlady serving lovely meals including breakfast *****

Really good food, nice pint of Shropshire gold, value for money Nice to see the place busy again. Limited menu. But all meals were very good, can’t wait to revisit and try the deserts next visit

Closed and looks as though it has been for a while

Booked this restaurant for mothers day, on arrival the girls were given a glass of prosecco seeing as it was mothers daywhich was a nice touch. We all had the Sunday lunch which was very good. The beef was excellent very tender and tasty. There was plenty of veg and a good choice,the waitress even said if you want any more just ask. Service was excellent and efficient. Will definitely be coming back to eat here again.

We visited the tankerville restaurant on a Sunday , it was pre booked a week in advance we were looking forward to a carvery and were not advised on booking this would not be available . We ordered a chicken and beef dinner and a small portion of veg came separately. We were seated in the main room , others sat in the bar area , the room was cold and lacked ambience , the service was very good . It was not cheap two courses £15 each . The board outside advertised Sunday carvery , when we were in there , there was only another 5 diners it total . Would I visit again , probably not as a lot of other village pubs do Sunday lunch , so think they need to up their game .

Had one of the best roasts I’ve ever had! Food was absolutely Lovely! Staff and very friendly and attentive to all your needs! beautiful Pub! Would recommend to absolutely anyone.

I had a really nice meal here the other day the roast was gorgeous all homemade would 100% recommend

Visited here last night with my brother who was disabled and made bit of noise .The lovely lady behind the bar was brilliant with him and us so once again a big thank you would recommend this pub for people who disabled as the staff are always brilliant and will be back with my brother as he had lovely time.

My family surprised me with a return to the Tankerville Arms last night for my birthday meal of pizza and ales. Once again the quality of the hand made pizza is excellent and certainly did not disappoint any of us.

The Sunday lunch was lovely even when im fussy and messaged them a day before asking if they could do chicken for a roast and they got it in specially. The staff were brilliant checking for drinks or extra gravy. They couldn't help enough.

5 of us went for Sunday lunch and both the starters and mains were excellent and there was a good choice of puds as well. Atmosphere was friendly as were the staff and all round it was an enjoyable experience.

Just had Sunday lunch in a nice pub with lovely food 😊

Ignore the result of England in the final group game....the food was GREAT! Pizza are the best I have had for some time with a stunning base that is crispy and soft at the same time. Will be going back VERY SOON! For the food not the football after England’s performance tonight. Final bit on the food is wow! Yummy!! More!!!

Great little local pub came here for the England match for great deal on pizza and a alcoholic or if you wish soft drink did £10 great value for money and good size pizza and must say was home made pizza made on premises and was yummy would recommend trying the pizzas and will be returning.

Helped us out. Part of a walking group. Many thanks for your hospitality. Like to come back!

Came here for Sunday lunch. It was a carvery that had roast beef and pork, a full spread of vegetables too. All very well cooked and everyone cleared their plates. Puddings were also good. Would certainly come back.

We went for a family dinner and it was wonderful. The food is always amazing, everyone is very friendly and there is a very relaxed atmosphere. Everything you want for a relaxing Sunday lunch :)

Went for the first time on recommendation of friends, Sun 2nd oct and were not disappointed. My wife and I were in agreement that this was one of the best roasts we had had for a long time. Plenty of choice freshly cooked veg and the best roast potatoes ever. Cant wait to go back.

The bar staff were more interested in talking about their 'sex' lives and ignored us for 5 mins!!! - we had two young children with us. We complained and spoke to someone called Sally who seemed to think it was funny!!! We sat at the table (eventually) with our drinks only to find dried food stuck to it and when we complained to staff got huge sigh from them and they reluctantly moved us. The new table was no better. The food was uncooked, the chicken was red and the service was appalling. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS.

Wanted a romantic Sunday lunch with my partner as he works away.Arrived at 12 for the "carvery"Doors opened by what I can only describe as a "hungover"Landlady!No manners and communication. Felt very unwelcome. Won't visit again !!!!!!!!!!!

Friday night visit, nothing was too much trouble for the chef and the food was excellent, great choice of mains and puddings, great pint of local beer served by great staff. Would highly recommend a visit

Un ambiente muy hogareño y excelente Domingo de carnes asadas. Buen aparcamiento fuera de la calle y personal amable. Recomiendo una visita.

You will receive a great welcome, and a varied menu. Food well cooked and very tasty. Small appetites find a struggle with the portions!!

Alojarse en el pueblo cercano de Plealey tenía una velada muy agradable en el Tankerville Arms. Casera y el chef hizo un gran trabajo cuidando de nuestro grupo de 10 personas y un perro y nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos desde el momento en que llegamos. La comida era excelente - carnes, pescado, cordero, carne de hamburguesa y chili cocinado a la perfección, muy bien presentada, con el uso de proporciones generosas y salsa estaba delicioso. Los postres también eran acertadas y también disfrutamos de una muy buena botella de merlot y el Shropshire lad bajó bien la cerveza. Flores frescas en las mesas y un regalo para nuestro perro era un toque muy agradable y muy apreciadas. Gran noche - Gracias chicos!

A very underrated pub. Food is the best home cooked we've ever had. Would use this place again and again.

This pub is fantastic, we visited in March 2016 and was greeted by the Lady Lady who was so friendly. dog friendly. menu excellent. try the Thai curry, its grill. we wish the landlady every success, thoroughly deserves it.

It's a few years since I have been here - great to be back! We had a traditional Sunday Lunch which was delicious!I rang early in the morning, and although it was fully booked was told if we didn't mind sitting in the bar area rather than the restaurant, we were welcome! It was really worth it - the bar area had others dining as well, and was a lovely area to sit and eat anyway!We both had Beef which was tender and delicious - the vegetables were numerous and plentiful, and both the Yorkshire Puddings, and Roast Potatoes were the best I have had for a long time! There was also a great choice of suites including Creme Brulet!After the meal the Chef came to say hello, and we were able to thank him for his excellent cooking!All in all a great experience - and judging by the number of customers including 2 birthday parties a very popular venue!

My sister who lives locally invited myself and my family (4&3 year old) over for Christmas Dinner at the Tankerville. The whole event was pitched perfectly with a very good 3 course meal (main course carvery was exceptional quality) surpassed only by the service we received. The owner(s)?? - Lady who welcomed us and the chef along with a small team of staff made the entire day a pleasure. Nothing was too much trouble...chef came out as Santa and gave a small gift to everyone, at the end of the meal the owner provided a decanter of port to the table, during the meal when my kids were beginning to get distracted the lady who welcomed us brought over a pack of crayons and a stack of paper in a very friendly and genuine way. I really cannot say enough about how hardworking yet natural the entire service was...Thank you all for making our Christmas Dinner one of the nicest in memory...

Visited as sales manager.. Great landlady lovely pub, a lot of work gone in to turning this pub around. Good selection of beer and Proseco on tap!!!! Menu looks great too

Booked here on the off-chance for a Saturday evening meal. Have driven past it many times. Thought it was about time we visited; especially as it now has new owners.Really impressed with the interior. All very bright and cheerful, and very festive. Very welcoming log-burning stove. Very cozy. Very warm welcome from the landlady.Good selection from the menu, plus on the specials board. Efficient, prompt service. Food well-presented and plenty of it. Recommend a visit here. We will be back. Thank you.

recently reopened country pub that has yet to get known following a short period of closure. The bar are is newly furnished - the restaurant needs some upgrading but in the main the food is of good quality and value for money.

We have been to the TA on several occasions now for the Sunday Carvery. On every occasion the food has been excellent; it is not all laid our for hours to go cold and soggy, the vegetables are freshly cooked and frequently replenished so you tend to be guaranteed something worthwhile. The servings of meat are also fairly generous and the Desserts are homemade and really tasty.The welcome has always been warm and friendly, in particular for our little daughter. The Landlady, Chef and in fact are all the Staff are very accommodating and give the Pub a really nice relaxed atmosphere where you can feel at home.Certainly worth a visit, it's not far out of Shrewsbury and there are other Pubs nearby if you can find a designated driver!

Visited last weekend for my parents' Diamond Anniversary celebration. We were made very welcome and enjoyed a lovely carvery with pudding. The food was tasty and there was plenty for everyone. There were 25 of us and we had an enjoyable afternoon.

We visited The Tankerville to celebrate our daughters birthday. We were made extremely welcome, the table was ready, we were told to order in our own time, no rush. After our mains came out, the chef came to check everyone was happy, very rare does this happen.Will definitely be going back and same applies to the rest of our party. Fantastic and very reasonable pricesWell done xx

We stopped at this pub for dinner. Lovely food, very friendly and went out of their way to serve us lovely food.Dog friendly too (turn left as you go in the door) Gave dog biscuits to our dog. Best to ring before you go to check food serving times. Very clean, light, and fresh decor. 5 stars.Thank you for a lovely birthday dinner

My other half and I called in on Sunday on the off chance the car very was still on. We were too late, but the lovely people at the tankerville arms plated us up 2 HUGE Sunday dinners anyway :-) The food was delicious and it was not a case of quantity over quality as at some carveries.We will definitely be going back.

After leaving Zip world later afternoon.yesterday, we decided to stop in Shewsbury for a bite to eat. We saw on a website that this pub was dog friendly so we went off the A5 to find this place. When we arrived around 7pm on Sunday evening, the Tankerville Arms was closed much to our disappointment. Our fault, we did not have reception on our mobile to look at properly, so now we had two children hungry and tired, as well as another 200 miles to go to get home. Sally (owners daughter) spotted me and immediately invited us in. We had a fantastic meal and, Sally and Jessie (true gent) were very good to us and our children as well as our tired Beagle. Thank you ever so much for your kindness - I just wish we were more local to you. we will be back though

Now under new management! Landlady is great! Lovely atmosphere and friendly locals. Good pub food and local guest ales. Definitely a place I would return!

Under new management (no longer the person who causes the bad reviews in the past!). Good pub food and beer, with guest ales on tap. Lovely landlady with friendly atmosphere and locals. Definitely will be returning for food and beer!

Sally has taken over running the family pub and is producing excellent traditional pub food, highly recommend the carvery!!! Friendly and great service with a smile, Chef is top dollar and beer is great

Just come back from a wonderful Sunday lunch at the Tankerville Arms. A very good carvery, traditional roast lunch and superb cheesecake. The roast potatoes are the best I have ever had. The decor and ambiance is lovely, with a mix of traditional and modern and the staff and owner are very nice. A lovely trip out on a sunny day.

A superb three course meal, good beer, value for money, friendly atmosphere. I attended a function with 24 diners often events like this are let down by poor service cold food not enough veg. The complete opposite with fresh warm vegetables extra gravy without asking. The pub has suffered from lack on investment I the past with random opening no longer the case

Once again ANOTHER country pub which advertises as being open for lunch and are clearly not!! Arrived on a Friday lunch time to find all doors locked no lights on and a middle aged builder type guy looking at us like we're aliens through a fence round the back. Second country pub to be falsy advertising midday meals. Will not return to where either.....

A night here, at this interesting establishment, is one that you'll never forget. EVER... You're in for a treat. REAL TALK.

First impressions - C.R.A.P. No buffet, no atmosphere, no customers, no mop !!! Disgusting, please get in touch if you are a window cleaner, plenty of business to be had here. Again, another wasted journey to a well advertised establishment.

Haven't been to my local for 5 years, very pleased to see it under new ownership. It has been thoroughly cleaned brand new kitchen and wooden floor in dining room. The new menu of both English and Chinese choices is proving very popular, the standard of food is excellent, be prepared to wait a little for your food as everything is prepared fresh. But rest assured the best Chinese food i have had in a long time. There is a great buz in the village again.

Expensive......not home made fair. Would not go again!

Very old fashioned, and shabby pub that smelt of a nursing home. Food was basic 2 meat carvery only and very boring vegetables that were a bit bland. Nice homemade puddings though. Overall Nothing exciting at all. Friendly service and good with the children but booked table for 1pm and we weren't allowed to sit down until they were ready for us, sat down at 1.30pm. Pub was filled with people of an older generation. I'm afraid we won't be returning.

We have been here a few times now and the food has always been good value for money. They also know how to keep a good pint which seems to be a thing of the past with many landlords!

Havent bean to the Tankerville Arms for a few years, and we as a group of 5 were not disappointed. our evening was made up of laughter and good food. we had to wait a short time for our food but got the impression that it was all fresh.we only went for a two course meal and ended up having a three course plus coffee, we just didnt want to leave.Thankyou for a lovely evening.

About 30 of us took advantage of the lunchtime £5.50 for 2 courses, £6.50 for 3! Food came out hot and reasonable portions, staff very friendly. It took a while for the last omlette to arrive - but it was freshly cooked and worth the wait. Not haut cuisine, but good honest food, well done
