The Coach and Horses in Shropshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Popped in on a random Tuesday lunchtime the place was empty but that didn't put us off the service was very good, food excellent selection of drinks was spot on and the main reason we went is how dog friendly they are so we could take our little pooch with us. Would definitely visit again

Chefs yelling at the other employees was very off putting. Very overpriced carvery. The waiters were nice enough and we were refunded for one meal.

Fabulous food in a relaxed atmosphere. Staff are really friendly and helpful. The beer battered cod we had for lunch is something to behold and highly recommended!

Lovely pub, came across it when keeping out of the storm on Saturday, so glad we did Very warm welcome from the landlord/lady. My sister notice about 2 hours later that she had lost her purse we made our way back to a number of pubs we'd been to then thankfully she had left it here and you had found it 😃 Just wanted to thank you so much for this, we'll definitely be back soon - thank you 😊

Bar staff were extremely friendly, and the food was excellent. Coach & Horses is very cosy pub that left a great impression on us and remains a highlight in our visit to Shrewsbury.

Always loved the Coach, called in for dinner one evening, very nice though a fairly small portion, someone on the next table said the same thing, friendly staff, Went into the bar for a couple more drinks but they had a tv blaring some total rubbish music out so we went in the little snug where there were 4 or five people in there for the same reason. I though when this pub reopened the tv was for sport only?

I popped in after a heavy night and feeling sorry for myself 🫣 let’s just say this carvery done the job ! Great options, Great staff and Great FOOD ! I was given the option off chicken, Pork or beef or all 3 if wanted ! I opted for the beef which was beautifully cooked along side my veg and potatoes, I was then given the option of dessert too ! all of this for £20 you can’t complain ! All in all a great place to pop by and eat/drink :) BIG SHOUT OUT to chef Jamie And front of house Erin who made the experience! Keep it up guys !

Fantastic Sunday roast. (More roast that carvery) Beautiful tasty food.dessert beautiful too.Service excellent and attentative. Highly recommended .

Beautiful food, delicious Sunday roast. Fabulous service too. Highly recommended

we come as a family to try the sunday carvery and omg it was amazing the meat was cooked to perfection and very good portions ,the service was outstanding we will be back soon

Decent pub great staff well worth a visit Had some great djs playing when we went

A must for beer when in Shrewsbury!

Friendly. Welcoming. Decent food. Amazing mushy peas. Great value. Music was a little too loud. Will go again for certain. It is on a beautiful street in Shrewsbuty, on a curve. Feels like a local, but newcomers welcome. Went again, it was just as lovely. Friday night meal and a drink option is just such great value. Added a start fir the food, as for the price, you can't beat it!

Had a lovely meal and a lovely pint, a group of five we all enjoyed the food beers and atmosphere.

Lovely pub, good beer selection, small food menu, but done well and for a good price (all mains were £12 last time we went and the portion sizes aren't small). There's a snug bar area to the right as you walk in and the more foody area straight ahead. There's a beer garden on the roof as well for summer. Sunday lunch was great last time we went as well.

cottage pie on the menu. ok yes but expected more for £12 than just a cottage pie. which was nice but a tad expensive. chips and a bit of salad would of been nice

Popped in here today for one, but stayed for a few because the staff were great and it was very dog friendly, great pub 👍👍👍

Great welcome and service at the Coach and Horses today. We visited with four adults and three dogs and enjoyed some lovely shropshire ale and cider. We'll definitely be visiting again.

Just dropped in for coffee… extremely warm welcome… certainly go there next time in Shrewsbury … very clean and organised .. John Crane

Lovely pub, off the main track so was quiet. Welcoming staff. Very dog friendly. Atmosphere was cosy and warm. Food was amazing (shepherd's pie, gammon and egg). We'll be back!

Beautiful cosy and quirky, a really friendly barman, the food although limited due to new ownership was delicious and freshly cooked, we had fish and chips with crushed peas delicately flavoured with coriander mint garlic and a hint of chilli. The Beer was a choice of well kept local real ales. All round winner with us!

Best pub interior in Shrewsbury! Ales were poorly poured and did not taste as they should. Music was also playing from both vinyl and blasting out of loudspeakers at same time, pick one and stick with it!

Warm, friendly welcome. The perfect pub!

The food was Excellent and the staff we met were delightful, very friendly and welcoming and chatty.

Tried The Coach and Horses for Sunday Lunch. AWFUL!!!! No Menu, or Prices up for Dinner. Options on Sunday were Roast Beef or Roast Pork and when questioned for any other options we were offered a Nut Roast. We had Roast Beef and one Nut Roast. Beef was reheated and sinewy, the Nut Roast was tasteless and out a packet. All vegetable and meat were heated up in a frying pan to warm then served. We thought oh well different, but not enough vegetables were brought up to feed two let alone 4. We asked for extra which in fairness they did bring. Service was not great just ok. The bill was the biggest shock £20 a head!!! Disapointed as under new management and look to support locally

Hope to visit again. N. Lockwood.

We’re do we start! £20 for a so called carvery! I always assumed a carvery is where you choose your meat and then help yourself to potatoes, vegetables stuffing etc! Apparently not, the very slow awkward service by the waitresses ( where we waited so long I actually got fed up and went to the bar!) they take your order for dinner. After my wife and daughter got cold waiting for dinner, as it was freezing in there, us being not only the ones cold, as the large table next to us, they kept their scalves on! When the food did arrive, the pork was warm, small portioned, as like the vegetable selection was. (No crackling either!) and we had to as for some pepper. As we and other tables only had salt! No condiments weee offered, we had to ask for them. We use the Inn On the Green in Radbrook for our local Sunday lunches, £10, loads of fresh hot vegetables and meat. As to say, we will not be going back there anytime soon, and as for the asking price£20, will not be encouraging anyone else who wants a great family Sunday lunch.

Please learn how to pour a pint of Guinness! Have been in twice now since it's reopened and on each occasion my Guinness has been poured in full without settling for a while before topping up. It's not difficult! Also no heating on, it was actually cold sat there, others were saying the same, and music TV on is probably not the atmosphere needed for a traditional pub. Such a shame this place doesn't have the warm, homely atmosphere it used to have.

Received a friendly welcome following a recommendation for Sunday lunch. We sat in the bar area waiting for a table to be free, happy with the surroundings. However, lunch was served… we had three different meats between us - not one was edible. Pork was 90% fat, beef was too tuff to cut & the chunks of lamb consisted of fatty sinew. One potato per plate & cold undercooked vegetables on the side. We persevered with eating our lunch as other tables around us complained. When we tried to tell the head chef/manager we weren’t happy with the quality of food, he was happy to argue the food was good quality & we were only complaining as others around us had earlier. Not the most professional customer service! A meal was deducted from our bill As good will gesture. Such a shame really. We won’t return again due to the management’s attitude.

Staff very polite. Bar was cold, beer not quite right and wine £9 a large glass. Didn't stay any longer than necessary. Good potential but only one other customer.....not surprised.

Just had a Sunday lunch carvery at the Coach and Horses. Can only say that this was the best carvery we have ever had. Portions were perhaps a little too large for us but the quality was superb, as good as you will find anywhere. @ £20 per head this represents superb value and I can seriously recommend it.. The staff are also very friendly and made for an allround good experience. Thank you and we will be back again the next time we visit Shrewsbury.

Oldie world pub very friendly owner good choice of beers differently will be back.

Rustic bare brick interior, with exposed beams, a couple of ales on the bar, tastefully decorated.

Glasses piled on bar . Tables not cleared . Dirty tables . Asked to turn OFF tv because I didn’t go to an old pub to be drowned out or distracted from CONVERSATION by a bloody telly . Asked to turn off they did BUT turned back on again. I left . Many locals now avoid the pub because unless you want tv ( Wetherspoons ) atmosphere it’s not for drinkers or conversationalists .

Visited with friends so 6 of us in total. Very disappointing for the price, the portions were small and my fish had obviously been on a diet! The waitress was lovely though 🙄

Went for food after seeing the board at the bottom of the hill advertising the menu, we ordered off the main menu & being as the pub was not packed didn't expect a long wait but after apologizing twice the waitress bought out our food 50 mins later, food was nice but what you would get in a cafe & at a much higher price! & I wouldn't recommend the mushy peas with the fish & chips (cost £16.00) & an all day breakfast (£14.00) premium prices for far from premium food.

Live local, seems nice, some staff are quite slow to customers. Very very loud customers when leaving. Not very considerate. Seemed quite expensive for drinks. Saw a customer ask 3 times for the bill.

A ‘proper’ small pub with friendly atmosphere. Small selection of craft ales on tap, but plenty of other choices. Really enjoyed my ping in there

On a day trip to Shrewsbury called into this bar and restaurant for lunch. Have to agree with the previous review it was a great pub, lots of character, friendly staff, and a great young chef named Jamie. Had gammon, egg, chips and peas plus a drink and the meal was delicious with real gammon and not the flat pack one can get in restaurants. The young chef and the barmaid were very friendly and all in at £40 for the two of us great value for money.

It was a shame that the manager had to run down to the other restaurant to get the wine. My hot food was served on cold plates. The tables were not wiped down from the previous occupants. We had to call out for service at Jnr bar. This place has great potential!

Great pub, lots of character, friendly staff, and a great young chef. We had 2 fillet steak specials, 1 pork chop , and a pie. We all enjoyed our meals, the mushroom sauce was absolutely delicious, well done to the new owners and all the team, 10/10

Nice convivial old fashioned pub. I ordered a Fish Friday and it was excellent. Not a vast range of beer.

We waited 40 mins for our food which was cold when it arrived. When I asked for cutlery and politely mentioned that the food was cold the waitress became aggressive and accused me of being rude, which was absolutely not true. When the food was returned hot I commented that I had not been rude, but merely pointed out that the food was cold she stormed off mid conversation. No apology. There was no one at the bar for 10 minutes when I wanted the bill and it needed to be corrected as a discount had not been applied. I would strongly suggest that this pub be avoided at all costs.

Please see latest food hygiene rating under new management Considering it was a 5 with the previous management

Been for a carvery before but has since changed and now carvery is served at the table. Limited vegetables in comparison to how it used to be, not good value for money. Sad to say I won't be going back.

We had a very enjoyable time. The staff were exceptionally good to have around and helped to make our evening a very pleasant one.

Sorry Not my sort of evening menu

Great food at reasonable prices with friendly & attentive staff.

Excellent food and beer in a really good atmosphere with great service from Jazz our waitress and excellent food from Jamie the chef who was very helpful and changed a few things around for me to accommodate my food allergies. Will definitely be going back

Lunch on 28th with 11 others, Excellent service. Good Food , mine was Steak Pie , Chips & Green Beans. The Beers were fine.

Had not visited this pub in years, but after reports of refurbishment was curious to visit. It is still quite dark in the interior but your eyes do become accustomed to that after 15 minutes or so. Found the choices on the menu uninspiring - chose the vegetable moussaka & friend had a cheese & mushroom omelette. Whilst chatting we suddenly heard someone loudly shout 'Service' & thought it was someone at the bar, trying to gain the barmaid's attention. It turned out to be the chef who would shout every time a meal was put on the counter. Needless to say we suggested that another less intrusive form of communication be used e.g a bell as it was quite disconcerting. Our meals arrived & did not look very appetising after a couple of mouthfuls I could not eat anymore. Watery vegetables some cooked Al dente others soft lay on a plate topped with a thin layer of cheese. The flavour was bland with an aftertaste of garlic. Although the dish was hot the food was lukewarm. The omelette had a burnt top but it was edible. After this disappointment the background music was suddenly turned up so much so we could not carry on with our conversation. On visiting the disabled toilet the door would not lock. Kelly the waitress did give us discount when we asked for the bill. However I was starving so after we left I went to Weatherspoons to get something to eat!

I really wanted to love this place as I'm a fan of La Mer Rouge but can honestly say it was only ok! We went for a family Sunday lunch, service for the food was slow, bearing in mind we only had the one course - Sunday Roast. The food wasn't particularly hot and I was surprised by the veg - carrots, broccoli, cauliflower cheese and red cabbage - just not very inspiring and the gravy was very thin. We had to ask for apple sauce, mint sauce & horseradish which were the smallest pots ever to go round the party. We requested extra gravy and got given 1 jug, there were 11 of us! It took asking 3x asking for water for the table and then it arrived with no ice, which we had asked for but by this time we gave up. Would we go back? In all honesty probably not given the price, quality of food and service.

Cracking pub, been several times when in town, just off the beaten track but definitely worth a wander round the corner from the hustle n bustle, great beer & from what another customer said, great food too, certainly smelt great

Great little pub, with a fab selection of ales.

Traditional, welcoming pub with decent prices. Recommended.

Excellent service. We were given a table very promptly. We hadn’t booked. It’s good to find a pub doing food slightly away from the centre yet near car parks and bus routes.

I live around the corner and wanted to try this revamped pub for a while. Went for a few drinks and snacks. Lovely traditional decor and friendly service!

The fish and chips were beautiful! Lovely atmosphere! Overall a perfect pub

Came across this gem of a pub while in Shrewsbury on business. Felt at home straight away. The landlady and landlord made us feel welcome as did the locals. If you enjoy real ales and banter then this is the place for you. Thanks for making us welcome, good luck for the future, Nev and Fiona.

Food was good. Sunday lunch carvery, not really a carvery as food was plated and all food served at the table. The dinner plates spoiled the day, way too small to put any food on.

Nice cosy pub, brilliant food and some great beer options 👍🏻

Really nice people they went and got gluten-free bread for my wife Nice food and drinks

As a dog owner I applaud places that allow well behaved dogs. However during our visit a customer standing at the bar and thereby limiting the available space had a very large dog which constantly growled barked and attempted to bite bar staff and other customers. The dog owner was drinking vodka and appeared to think it was a huge joke. Sadly the bar staff did nothing to address the issue. It was totally unacceptable. The dog was large and intimidating and should not have been in such a confined bar space. As the owners are new I would have expected them to be trying to attract customers rather than drive them away.

I ordered a lamb rump and the food was outstanding. Lovely staff. Definitely be back.

Had read recent reviews stating meals were very good so we were looking forward to ours. We were told it would be a 30 minute wait for the lamb rump to be cooked fresh which was fine. We waited over 50 minutes with no apology. When the meal came it was very disappointing, the lamb was extremely rare, fatty, chewy and difficult to cut not pleasant at all. The rest of the food on the plate was just about luke warm. Will definitely not be returning here for a meal or even a drink.

Late birthday meal yesterday for partner and family. Table not set despite booking. Very slow service with a sullen young girl taking our requests. Had to chase drinks order and on finding staff, they all had their heads in their phones! Food was nice but nut roast overcooked. Would benefit from a manger who can keep on top of the staff that were on that night.

Went recently and had creamy pasta with mushroom sauce and chicken breast. It was delicious 😋. Had this twice now in recent weeks. New management have done well with the refurbishment.

We found this little gem on a visit to Shrewsbury. A friendly welcome, great food (the steak pie was delicious) and a lovely pint from the local Three Tuns brewery made this a very pleasant place to have lunch. Very minor bit of advice is to make sure the soap dispensers are topped up - the gents had run out. Other than that, perfect.

Arrived for a carvery meal. Sat at the table for 15 minutes with no one approaching us to take order. Only one member of staff waiting on tables. Had asked on arrival if this was the process to follow, and was told yes. Cannot comment on food as we left due to not being served.

Excellent food excellent service. Great ambiance. Third visit in a month. Will definitely visit again soon.

Went for a birthday and watched the man behind the serving counter manhandle the joints of meat without any protection or hygene then wipe his hands on a beer towel followed by the front of his shirt. Disgusting to watch and therefore left the restaurant...

It’s an old pub slightly away from the town centre. It has friendly staff,, good beer and great fish and chips with mushy beers. We liked the fact that the beers were session beers not 5% plus . The toilets are upstairs. There is an accessible toilet on the ground floor. The pub is dog- friendly.,There are towels provided inside the door should you have a muddy dog or want a quick dog bed.

Good range of ales on, also showing what beers are coming up.

After almost giving up on finding a genuine quality pub meal in Shrewsbury we happened upon this pub. Excellent in house cooked food with good options and superb service. Absolutely recommend if you want a great atmospheric pub meal away from the crowds.

Good beer. Nice place. I didn't enjoy the sound system though. It was far too noisy to talk with mates.

Popped in as was passing as I could not find a menu on line or on the website, will be good if they can update the menu. Shared a starter of calamari with bread crumbs / salad and to be fair it was really well...

We have visited the Coach and Horses twice since it was re-opened in April, both times were great. The ambience in the restaurant area is lovely, candle lit with beautiful decor, very warm and welcoming. The food couldn’t be faulted - I had the beef...

Wonderful afternoon spent at The Coach & Horses. Oracle is as delicious as ever and the food was absolutely fabulous. Well done Natalie and team on a fantastic takeover. The old Coach and Horses and so much more.

Atmospheric pub/restaurant in the heart of Shrewsbury, such a lovely place to relax (I found a comfy sofa) and have a glass of wine. I’ll be back with friends for food as the menu looks good too.

Remained a great pub under difficult circumstances. The beer range was still good, supporting local breweries atbvery reasonable prices for a town centre pub. The food in the restaurant was top notch, great menus, well sourced food and cooked well. But the staff? Well, they really made the place somewhere to go to. Reason for only 4 stars? I suppose there is always room for improvement, or so I've been told. But now temporarily closed and all the staff have lost their jobs. Hope the new owners understand what this pub gave the community and do not change it much.

A lovely old pub,in the narrow streets of historical Shrewsbury, been in camra good beer guide for many years,and rightly so. A good choice of cask ales in a warm cosy friendly enviroment, and a excellent landlady ,made you feel so wellcome from the minute I stepped in the pub. Well worth a visit

Much under rated Shrewsbury restaurant. Really excellent cooking, reasonable prices, entertaining service, somewhat dingy decor. Fish menu on Friday really excellent.

Best Sunday Roast in Shrewsbury without question 😊

Fantastic company and a beautiful meal where you can relax and enjoy

First time at this pub and deffo a favourite. A warm welcome. They have a lovely local cider by Long Mynd. The food here is outstanding, well presented and good quality. I had a Fidgety pie which was excellent. Will be back for sure

Very nice Sunday lunch, carvery style. Good service and value.

We booked a table on Sunday for 2 adults and 2 children, we arrived and the staff were extremely unwelcoming and rude, the women behind the bar and the land lord asked us if we were going to put the pram around the corner out...

Good food booze and great staff

5 of us had Sunday lunch last week....excellent food and service..good choice of real ales too

My wife and I stumbled across the Coach and Horses in Shrewsbury on my birthday in July whilst exploring the very characterful narrow back streets of Shrewsbury town. This is a lovely proper locals corner pub and serving and keeping an excellent pint. I had...

Great food, good beers. Friendly hosts. Fishand chips was excellent.

Having heard about The Coach and Horses Sunday lunch for years, we finally visited for lunch today. The service was at best efficient and at worst frosty and verging on hostile. Clearly not a great day for the staff. The real low-point was when the...

An amazing little traditional Gem. Well worth that little extra walk to discover. Perfect roast dinner. Miss it at your peril. Thanks guys

Went here for the seafood evening, the food was great.

Ignore the one star review!!! We had a fantastic meal here yesterday evening. The landlord made us very welcome and the waitress was charming and extremely helpful. We tried two types of the Salopian beer and they were both delicious. The pork belly was cooked...
