The Corbet Arms in Shropshire

On behalf of our family we would like to say a massive thank you to everyone at The Corbet Arms for our Mum's 90th birthday lunch. The team was absolutely amazing and the food was superb. We enjoyed every mouthful and every moment and we were looked after so well. Fantastic service, so well coordinated with all 28 of us eating a beautifully presented, piping hot Sunday lunch at exactly the same time. Thank you for making our Mum's day extra special, not just for her but for everyone in our party.

We held a large birthday lunch here and the service and food were fantastic! Everything came out quickly for a party of 30, all the food was hot and delicious. So impressed!

We stayed 2 nights having breakfast and evening meal on both days. Our room was very comfortable and over looked the river. Both breakfast and evening meal was a good standard and the staff both mornings and evenings were very efficient and cared.

We were looking for a venue that could accommodate a large party (19) and the Corbet Arms did not disappoint. We were able to pre-select our food, which was fantastic and the staff there were very helpful, especially as my son has a severe egg allergy.

We had a lovely time celebrating our 2nd anniversary of meeting. The atmosphere was good, the food was good except for my gammon. It was very overcooked meaning that it was tough to cut and chew. We did tell the waitress who said she would advise the cook. We heard nothing. We advised when paying the bill only to be told the person would advise the cook again. Also as we left the car park lights were turned off making it very difficult to get my wheelchair into the boot of our car. Such a shame as normally everything is spot on. Just a bad night.

Amazing food and attentive service

Great service, lovely staff and the food ain't bad!! Always enjoy lunch here.

We had a delicious Sunday lunch.

A very enjoyable pub with rooms. The room was a good size, comfortable king-size bed, good bathroom and pleasant housekeeping staff. The food at breakfast and dinner was good with friendly service and good selection of beers and wine. Basically, The Corbet delivers everything it promises and we need more of that these days.

Love the food and the place the service by the staff is excellent except for one woman who it seems is a front of house or something got a bit of a attuide problem but never mind nobody perfect it will not stop me going back

Sunday roast to due for...truly the food was fantastic. Nothing too fancy, just beautifully cooked and served food. Lovely place, great service too. PARKING!! Not so much...took ages to get a spot and then when we came out delighted, we couldn't get out of our spot because someone had fully blocked us in. When the culprit emerged she said "I did tell the manager I'd blocked someone in" Honestly, get the parking sorted and this would be a 7 star review.

Pub grub at a higher standard. Wouldn't go out of my way to go back but it was a nice meal overall.

Nice pub with good selection and quality food. Really nice beer garden leading down to the river, great for summer. Comfortable rooms with all amenities. Friendly and helpful staff.

Came here on the Shropshire real ale trail. It was the most upmarket pub on the circuit, make of that what you will.

Stayed for one night and hosted an event at The Corbet Arms. The bedrooms are well appointed and very clean, slight negative with a drains smell in the bathroom but this did clear by the morning. Comfy beds. The food was outstanding, simple food cooked really, really well and very generous portions. Breakfast was simple but again freshly cooked and tasty.

Visited this pub on the Shropshire Ale Trail. A good selection of beers and customers that were friendly if you like that sort of thing! Nice pub, would recommend!

We went for lunch to celebrate a birthday and had a great time. The service was amazing, super attentitive, and nothing was too much trouble. The food was also very good. Huge portion sizes and tasted great. Thank you to all the staff for a lovely lunch, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

We visited the Corbet Arms on 31st August for my wife's 70th birthday party. All I can say is that it was a great night, with good food and service. We had booked the Sabrina Room and it was ideal for us. The staff were very helpful and courteous, especially Jay and Luke R who even helped us clear up at the end and stayed with us as we saw everybody left safely. We had a terrific DJ , Ian, who our daughter had booked. I would like to thank the Manager (sorry I have forgotten your name) and all the staff, and we will certainly return.

Nice place and well looked after. Food is nice also. Dosnt let dogs inside is the only issue so have to sit out side in poor weather (unfortunately I had walked so couldn't go else at the time).

Lovely place...pity that they are not dog friendly tho.

Stayed here on a Saturday night as we had travelled down from Preston for a wedding at Hencotes Vineyard. Unable to access our room on arrival as it was 2 hours before check in however we were given our room keys and were able to leave our bags which were waiting in our rooms when we got in later that day . Beautiful location on the river and the couple we travelled with had a fantastic view from their room. Ate breakfast the next morning which was freshly prepared and delicious , plenty of choice too. The staff were very friendly and efficient and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if visiting the area.

Started off promising with a friendly welcome from the man who was front of house. He greeted us professionally and quickly took out drinks order. Went downhill from then on. Three of the meals were ok , the third was not. The main element of the lamb kofta was not edible. The 2 very small koftas were burnt, rock hard and after one bite i was unable to eat anymore. I tried to feedback this to one of the waitress’s but she completely ignored this. To be fair that was a theme for the female waitress’s, who can best be described as surly and clearly didnt want to be at work. Had to wait ages for table to be cleared, ask for a dessert menu and again for dessert order to be taken. No smiles, no customer service skills and only animated when standing by the till area talking to each other. Wouldnt return and wouldnt recomend as customer service was non existant.

Fab location, beautiful pub with great outdoor area. Rooms spacious and tastefully decorated. Uber clean. All the little extras covered - toiletries and as much tea/coffee as wanted with extras in hall. Friendly staff and fun atmosphere in pub. Thoroughly recommend. We'll be back.

We had a family meal today for 36 in the Sabrina Suite. We pre booked our menu choices. The food was beautiful, well presented and plentiful. The service was excellent. Thank you to all the staff, who worked so hard, but a special mention to….I didn’t get his name, a lovely Portuguese gentlemen, who made our family Sunday lunch at The Corbett Arms a very special one xxxx would not hesitate to recommend

I really loved my stay at this hotel. I has a serene and ambient environment. Staff were very helpful and polite. I will recommend this hotel to everyone who wants to enjoy a peaceful time away from stressful city life.

Best hotel in the area. Excellent food friendly staff clean rooms. Ideal location only a short bus ride away you'll find what ever your looking for. Definitely would stay again.

Great place! Interesting variety! Lovely staff!

The Corbet Arms offers a quintessential English countryside experience. The building itself is steeped in history and exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere. The gardens are beautifully maintained, providing a perfect backdrop for a relaxing stroll or an alfresco drink.

The food was superb, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The beer garden is spacious and perfect for relaxing. Highly recommend for a great time!

Great value for money, a beautiful place to rest.

This hotel is good, the staff is friendly, the food is good, you breathe fresh air, great for going with family

Great place for vacation, i have been there couple of times and i always love the atmosphere.

Very nice place with good Staff and also the restaurant, it was pretty good

amazing place, very friendly staff and excellent location!

We stayed four nights at the Corbet Arms and was very well looked after. The room was large and comfortably furnished; the bathroom was spotless, car parking spaces were plentiful; the menu was varied, and the food cooked perfectly; the staff friendly, helpful and efficient (especially Elaine on breakfast service); the choice of drinks at the bar extensive and, the location ideal for what we had planned to do during our stay. Overall, there was little if anything we could criticise and, we hope to revisit in the near future. Therefore, please don’t mess with a winning formula and thank you.

Had my fathers wake here. Booking was easy I choose the menu ‘afternoon tea’. Was worried if there would be enough food as you never know how many people will be attending. But need not have as plenty of delicious food. Room was a great size for 50 guests with a bar. Service was excellent.

As three couples from the same University some 45 years ago, we meet in Shropshire biannually for a reunion and catchup. Shropshire is equidistant from our respective homes. We stayed for two nights and found the Corbet Arms to have comfortable rooms, spacious, clean and well appointed. The outside area is very large with a lovely setting by the river, unfortunately we didn’t have the summer weather to take benefit from it. We did sit outside briefly with fleeces and jackets. The hotel is close to the Shrewsbury Park and Ride. Drive into Shrewsbury at your peril as it is a bottleneck! The bar area was quite busy in the late afternoon as was the restaurant. This quickly abated once past 20:00hrs. As guests in the hotel we didn’t find a comfortable area to sit and relax and catch up with our friends. The seating was more bench like and uncomfortable to sit on for any length of time. There wasn’t a comfortable place to retire to after dinner so we stayed at the table. Breakfast did not contain the breadth of products found on most hotel breakfast menus, there wasn’t any pastries and the fresh fruit was limited to apples and bananas. Eggs Benedict was noticeably absent. However, the portion size for the full English was not for the faint hearted and it was well cooked. Meals on both evenings in the restaurant were good. The menu contained a fairly typical range of food to be found on the menus of most public houses. It was not a ‘gastro’ menu by any means, but the food was well cooked and service was timely. In terms of value for money, we were happy with the Corbet Arms.

A great place to stay and good value rooms .

The customer service was great and the rooms were clean. Thank you

Thank you all for a lovely meal, although limited menu options, the young waitress that seated us was very knowledgeable about what they did/didn’t have left. The chips were cooked perfectly, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, Hubby was extra pleased that he got a shamrock in his pint of Guinness, we will return soon

Sunday Lunch at the Corbett Arms for 30, it was hot, beautifully cooked, service was incredible - what a team definitely recommend. And will be booking again next year too!!

Excellent Sunday lunch, 1 beef (cooked perfectly) and 3 turkey, could not fault the food.l and there were 4 clean plates! The only criticism is that we were seated but not provided with menus so had to go and hunt for them

I definitely recommend this hotel

Restaurant is a great choice of food excellent staff and service all at a good price.

Outstanding if I could give 6 stars I would

Excellent Breakfast nice clean rooms busy place

Very very bad service not good staff

It is perfect to live here, the service is excellent, especially the woman who guides here is more hospitable100%

Been there, loved the location and the views. Rooms were nice and the service was ever so sweet. I can recommend this one to anyone

Totally awesome. It's a top notch service.

Amazing hotel nicest staff I’ve seen in a while great food and Comfort

Best hotel in the area. Excellent food friendly staff clean tidy rooms. Staff go above and beyond to see your needs are catered for. Ideal location only a short bus ride away you'll find what ever your looking for. Definitely would stay again.

Friendly staff Nice place to stay

Came here to stay to get away from my area for a while and i loved it here, the staff are amazing and the rooms are very nice and quiet, the hotel is very nice and couldnt be happier with my trip there, its very affordable too, and the food was amazing

Fantastic hotel fantasic staff would come back time and time again

My experience at this hotel & restaurant was brilliant no issues at all polite and friendly staff very lovely hotel im thinking about going again I highly recommend this hotel

Very good food and service. The staff are friendly and helpful. Would definitely call again.

We Had lovely stay at the at the cobbet ams for my hubby 50th birthday birthday the food is excellent plenty of choice the rooms are lovely has great Vues off the river seven countryside I recommend say Sunday 23 October me & my hubby love staying here the staff are very nice Heidi rowson & Paul rowson

We stayed here Thursday to Saturday and I highly recommend. The place was very clean, friendly staff, great food and lovely atmosphere. It's a b&b so we had breakfast in the morning too which again was lovely. The room was amazing, so posh and cozy. The staff even came in and put fresh towels on our bed and replaced the tea & coffee while we we're out! My favorite part about our room was the amazing view of the river and waking up early and sitting by the window and listening and watching the birds! So peaceful. (You can hear the road too but it's not too overpowering) Overall, we have had a absolutely amazing time and made some special memories.

I ordered fish and chips the fish was good quality - but the chips were huge, pale and could have done with longer in the fryer .. my daughter had a minute steam with chips she left her chips too and they weren’t crispy and largely tasted uncooked - not raw but not cooked enough. This isn’t the first time I’ve asked for my chips to go back to be cooked longer, I didn’t today my daughter asked me not to as she’d feel embarrassed. Could the chips not go a triple cooked process so chips are quickly refried 3 rd stage when required..? This is the only criticism I constantly have either this place - Owners / chef please don’t want to complain but please observe the amount of chips left on people plates when the plates are returned.

Sadly below average. Been going here for a few years now, and having lunch here today it wasn't great. Our first annoyance was serving butter from the fridge when having paté as a starter, it doesn't spread! How difficult is it to have a number of portions set aside ready to serve. That's just basics. For mains two had beef I had a ploughmans. Again cold butter which couldn't be spread on the two small pieces of bread. Previously it came with different cheeses, and it used to have a nice pork pie with it. Today's was like a snack pork pie you would get if buying a multi pack. Plate was also chipped. Attention to detail and quality seems to have gone, such a shame, many other restaurants out there though.

The Corbet Arms is one of few pubs that cater for dysphagia. I explained on a previous visit that I have this condition and they immediately acted upon my request to be able to blend individual portions. I was able to order from the menu and was not restricted to my usual order of soup and ice cream. This is huge for someone like myself whose daily choices are so limited. Thank you for listening and acting so quickly to provide a service that has made such a huge difference to my family and myself. Much appreciated. The food is always of a high standard and the service is always excellent. This venue is set in a beautiful setting with stunning Shropshire countryside with a lovely patio and plenty of outdoor seating. Car parking is limited but it has disabled ramp access. Plenty of choice of drinks at the bar. A must for locals and travellers too. The hotel accommodation is also amazing. We stayed after our wedding reception here during lockdown, when I could eat normally and the breakfasts were delicious. Highly recommended.

Lovely friendly locals pub, foods is excellent good and fantastic

We held a funeral wake at the Corbet & we were well looked after by Javier. His hospitality was second to none. The Sabrina Suite is an ideal room to hold a private function, it has its own bar & the food was good.

Highly recommend. Absolutely gorgeous Sunday Roast! Staff both front & back of house went above and beyond for us today; My mum has dysphasia and they offered her a choice of desserts today to cater for her dietary needs, it is difficult to find somewhere that will cater for her so we are incredibly grateful for them doing so, will definitely be back! Lovely, fast service. Wonderful drinks & atmosphere.

Went with my daughter and Grandson for a meal which was lovely, the service was first class. Only downside was the parking it was full but luckily found a space eventually.

Good meal lighting a bit bright,felt staff could of pretended they cared not very friendly chap behind bar friendly.

Came for Sunday lunch,the food was amazing,but unfortunately the customer service was awful,so food 5 stars and service 0 stars

Had Sunday three course meal the food and service were exceptional.

Booked in as Birthday treat. Room very nice with four poster bed and view over river, but up two flights of stairs and decorators working with all surfaces covered in plastic. Went down for dinner only to be sat in a corner by the coffee machine. Would have been nice to see the view rather than look at a blank, grey wall. Food OK, but nothing special. Nobody asked if it was OK. Nowhere to sit for drinks after dinner except the public bar. For breakfast we were ushered into the bar again, placed our order which took 40 mins to arrive, but was delivered stone cold! Made waiter aware and he took plates away and said it would be remade, he retuned after 15 mins with the same items now microwaved, so rubberised bacon and crispy toast. Gave up then, very dissappointed.

I was very much looking forward to my meal at the Corbet arms but feel that i have been completely let down by the service that was provided. We had been sat down and there were just 2 blonde young workers messing around and being silly while we were trying to enjoy a nice meal. The food took ages to come and my husbands wasn't to the best extent. I will not be returning here as I feel staff did not give us the respect we happily gave them.

We visited mid week, we hadn't booked in but they found us a table. Drinks were ordered and arrived soon after. We waited a while before our order was taken and had to catch the staff member's eye! Food arrived and to be honest, the chips looked overdone! However, they were awesome 👌 My pie was delicious and hubby's fish and chips were also very good. We waited ages for our dessert 🍨 orders to be taken as staff just kept wandering passed! Dessert arrived eventually, bread and butter pudding, which hubby thought was delicious. All in all, the food was good. What we thought was not so good was the slow service, although staff were friendly! The only main criticism is the venue itself, the lighting is way too bright so it feels like a canteen. There are no quieter corners with lighting to set a mood. It felt really strange, the fittings are high up and the artwork is small so no ambiance set to relax in. I'd return for a mid week meal but not for a relaxing evening with my other half. Strange, but with a few tweaks, it could be amazing. The decor at other venues needs to be explored by the team at the Corbett Arms.

Stayed for a catch up with friends. Everything from selling timothy taylors, great food, massive bed having a great bath meant that we will be back next year.

Handy location for a visit to Shrewsbury if you are in a car. Car parking right in front. The rooms are great and the restaurant is excellent. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms are accessed via stairs so if you have trouble with stairs I suggest you give them a call before you book. I would definitely stay here again, highly recommended.

Family evening meal Great starter and mains. Totally disappointed when we sat waiting for pudding ordered to be told not gone through to kitchen. We had a toddler so refused to wait after order not being processed

If you’ve never been to the Corbet Arms, then I suggest you strongly do ! We were a party of 6 celebrating a birthday family meal, and we all could not praise the quality of the food highly enough, thank you . The food was hot, extremely tasty and very generous portions The staff service was excellent and very courteous throughout the evening. There is no doubt we will be back and thank you for making our evening so enjoyable 👏👏

A party of 19 of us had Sunday lunch at The Corbet today for my daughter’s birthday. I’m not one to usually write reviews, but I was so impressed with everything from the booking process, pre-ordering, service and food on the day, felt I needed to give praise where praise is due! Well done!

On holiday in the area, found this place by accident, thought we would give it a try, booked a table, car park was nearly full but no one in the restaurant, we were taken to a table and asked what drinks we wanted, I asked for a strong bitter.... drinks come mine was really sweet, asked young lad serving what it was and it was shandy, came back with same again ! Asked waitress not what I ordered back it went again, came out a 3rd time with another waiter another shandy! Don't know if it's my northern accent or what, anyway regards the meal I ordered soup which frankly tasted like one of those knorr soups in a plastic pouch... certainly not home made, I paid 27 pounds for a 10oz sirloin quite fatty, forgot the watercress, not worth the money tbh.wifes gammon was great, ordered deserts I had a baileys cheesecake which came out totally bland with no sauce or dusting, All in all for a meal that came pence short of 100 pounds I felt somewhat disappointed.

Been here a few times and never been disappointed. Visited again in July 2023, best Sunday lunch out we've had in a long time. Update: visited again in January 2024, sorry to say it but really disappointed this time. Menu quite limited, everything came with these oversized chips that were hard work to eat. Had a chicken burger that was bland and overcooked, with a pot of off-the-shelf style coleslaw. Wouldn't mind but it was 15 quid.

Great views, food and especially wine

Not much atmosphere, no music. Below standard, only 3 vegetarian options. I had the veggie burger which tasted like it had been fried in oil. For the price of the meal there's so much better. Just got home and put the oven on. Very disappointed

Called here on the off chance for some lunch. The first thing I noticed was that the table was laid incorrectly - ie, left-handedly. We placed our order which was sometime arriving and cannot say that it was terribly hot. I asked for the bill and when it wasn't forthcoming I went to the counter and paid there. I do not think I will be returning in a hurry. The one good thing which was a help, was the fact that there was ample parking. There was also a pleasant garden.
