The Crown, Shrewsbury in Shropshire

Lovely pub with friendly staff and a range of seating areas. Meals looked appetising as they were carried through to the dining area nearest to us.

It’s a real shame. In March 2025 I registered my car after parking, fully aware of the parking rules, and as I have frequently done before. I Had lunch and drinks with my wife. Much to my surprise received a parking notice fine. I contacted the pub and did as they suggested sent proof to them for lunch and also to the parking company appealing the fine. I received a reduced charge which I paid because life is just too short! But will no longer be a customer of that establishment. I urge them to check this out my one bad review means not much but too many!

We were told the wait for food was 25 minutes. Acceptable….just. but over a hour later it still hadn’t arrived. Other tables were being served before us even though we knew they arrived after us. When it did arrive it was bog standard and nothing more. Certainly not worth the money.

What a beautiful spot on the river! We sat in the spring sunshine and had drinks which were served very quickly! The location is amazing and staff very efficient. We weren't planning on eating but saw a giant camembert go past and couldn't refuse. It's was delicious and baked inside its own loaf this was the best we have had for a long tine!

Lovely setting, great view over river, ideal setting on a sunny day. Car park. Welcoming & friendly staff. Plenty of choice on menu. Food served quickly and was very tasty. Have recommended it to several friends as a great place to visit.

We booked the Coleham Tap for our work Christmas Dinner and had a fantastic time. When we arrived the pub was very busy due to a football match, but the staff were attentive and looked after our table well making sure that no one was without a drink. The food was delicious and served hot. We have recommended to other colleagues and would definitely come back again. Thank you for a great afternoon!

Dropped in for dinner and had a pleasant evening, the staff are always very friendly and food is really great, its reasonably priced, very good value. The decor is nice, it's clean and certainly worth coming back to.

Where else would I want to spend my birthday??!! Ok, full disclosure, my daughter works at Coleham Tap and as a result we've become relatively regular customers... However, we wouldn't be if it wasn't a fantastic place to go! This is what a community pub is all about - a warm welcome and good food and wine when you arrive! We'll be back...!

Lovely place next to the Severn. Dropped for drinks and although primarily a food place, at least on a Sunday were extremely welcoming.

Great find, spotlessly clean inside and the garden overlooking the river. Menu looks amazing, Sunday lunch as well. Definitely worth a visit

We have been here a few times over the years. It really has improved of late with the garden being the main focus. Better seating lots of brollies (if you need them) and lovely floral displays. Someone really has taken the time to make this a very very nice pub. Decent prices good food and a view of the Severn. You could go downstream and spend lots more money but we wouldn't bother.

Visited The Coleham Tap as we were visiting Shrewsbury to check out where my grandfather had lived. He resided at 115 Longden in 1921. After having a drink decided to have dinner here. We had fish & chips which were fresh & beautifully cooked. Staff were attentive & very accommodating as we were the last to order before kitchen closed. Would highly recommend. Thank you.

Yep Karen...Caught me as well. Not bringing bill to table forcing customer to use a tiny Sumup terminal in poor light at the bar with having to use tiny terminals to avoid any service charge they have added..In my case caught me for 20%. The response tells you all you need to know .If the customer did not intend...You should refund ..Not act like spivs.,

Had a Sunday lunch.. Forgot to bring the drinks over then forgot to bring the bill over. I went to the bar to pay. Had to try to negotiate the contact less machine. Was trying to give a tip. Ended up charging £85 which fortutely was cancelled. Then said to press no tip which then took 15% 8.59. tip. The barman wasn't helpful said nothing he could do and I should have checked.. Came away feeling annoyed when a I had tried to do was be pleasant. Lost our custom.

Seriously though...2:30pm. No burgers and food orders on hold for thirty minutes and its only 2:30pm. Hungry..might have to go to the local chip shop for sustenance. Then go home earlier than planned extremely disappointed. Waited thirty minutes....no-one has been and told me they are taking food orders.Something is wrong Marstons. The beet garden is usually packed on the first few decent days of weather. It's not. I have worked in a pub. There is no excuse!

Well this is the second time iv visited The crown and what a difference since the the new landlords have...
