The Fox Inn in Shropshire

Good little friendly quiet pub, easy to find and we did a motorhome stopover in the carpark (free if using the pub).

I'm not 100% sure but it looked closed, I saw a for sale sign, but I wasn't sure if it was the pub, or the yard next door, I was there around 3pm every day last week so they may have been closed, but there was a high visibility jacket outside, and a buiders van outside and I could hear noise that sounds like someone working inside.

Food is good & the staff are the best 👌

Absolutely amazing place . Great atmosphere, lovely food and awesome service . Never have to wait to long for food to come out . Woukd definitely come again and definitely recommend 👌.

What a gem of a local pub! Second time we have been here now and it has never failed to falter. The staff are amazing and so helpful and accommodating. Regulars in the the bar area are friendly and chatty. And the food is to die for. If its not on the menu, they will try to find it for you anyway. This is the only place we will eat now in Wem. Cheers guys

Perfect all-rounder, the food was lovely, big portions for low prices and the service is amazing. They were very helpful with allergies and food suggestions. Would recommend for a family meal. Would definitely come again 😍

Lovely warm pub, great selection of beer. Super friendly service!

A little on quiet side but friendly staff and good food . Been a few times now.

Table booked for four at 7.00pm on Saturday 5th August. Two pie and chips, one pie and mash, and one scampi and chips ordered. The scampi and chips were of acceptable quality and of reasonable size, the meals with pies were of reasonable quality, however, the size of the pies was very small, more akin to a child's portion, not reflected in the price I would hasten to add. Following the meal no approach was made by the staff to see if we required deserts or further drinks. When the bar person eventually did come back to the bar we paid and left. This was not a busy night and I doubt we will be recommending or returning any time soon.

The management of this pub ought not rely on the really nice woman working in the bar to also cook our food. Not surprisingly the food therefore took over an hour to arrive and then was pretty much inedible - cremated, oily chips accompanied oily fried fish. My steak and ale pie was ok but was accompanied by those offending "chips" and this time undercooked peas. I really feel for the person serving us, completely unsupported by the manager who was conspicuous by his/her absence when we complained. Wish I could give less than a 1 star rating

Really poor. Pre- prepared food or ' basket food' - pub empty bar 2 regulars. Definitely would not visit again.

What a fantastic place, lovely atmosphere with a very nice welcome from the young lady behind the bar. We both had the steak and ale pie it was so tasty! Would highly recommend a visit you won't be disappointed ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Food was worth every penny. Nice pub.

Excellent selection and quality of food. Real Ales very nice too.

Lovely local pub was stopping near by. Friendly atmosphere food was excellent as was the Guinness and pino !!!!! Would return 👍👍

Fantastic food at a fantastic price. Friendly attentive staff. Do not let your Chef go.

Excellent food, way above pub grub. Highly recommend,

Great food, really good service

Friendly place had mixed grill which was as good as any I've ever had!🙂

Brilliant pie & pint night. Great food, friendly service and excellent value.

Lovely pub! Great environment! The staff are all so kind and the food is gorgeous! 100% reccomend

Lovely pub with a real fire - had a small collection of ales but had a lovely pub vibe

Very friendly and had beautiful fish and chips and and not greasy at all

A good pub, full of friendly people and exceptionally beautiful ladies

Good pub grub...friendly staff worth a visit when your in wem

Great food and atmosphere top landlord 👍

Fantastic place wonderfully staff great beer and pizza

Had a lovely day at the fox nothing is too much trouble for them & the pizza is georgous .

This was a small, cosy pub that served huge meals at a very reasonable price. Closed at the start of lockdown and advised that it would not be re-opening. Pity.

Fantastic meal and thanks to the staff allowing me an my mate the steak deal. Superb

Very friendly little pub with really good food and drink. This was my first visit, and I took my young daughter for an early dinner - I'll certainly be going back.

I met up with two friends for a Christmas drink on Friday 19th December. The pub was 'heaving' as there was a works do and a family having a meal. However, the staff were pleasant and helpful and we stayed for a couple of drinks before moving on. I always wonder with The Fox whether there is anyway the pub could be rearranged/redesigned so that the only places for people to go isn't round the bar?

Arrived earlier than booked, table not ready but was soon sorted out. We ordered and when the meals arrived all were well presented and hot, tucking in we were all pleased with our choice with everyone commenting as to how flavorsome the meals were. Staff all pleasant. Would recommend to others except for we wanted to pay with a card and set up a tab,staff needed to have this the whole time we there . Did not like doing this.

Kim Stokes keeps a great pub. staff are great and the beers are well kept and delicious. Its a small pub but very cosy and convivial with a nice darts board and good and friendly local clientelle. i haven't eaten here tbh so cannot comment on the food. but my friends say its all very good. my mother lives in Wem so i visit when i can.

Large roast beef Sunday roast, just what was needed after running the Wem 10k

A good evening spent at The Fox. Really good food all the staff were friendly especially Jo who served us.

Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Real ale on tap. Lovely food. What else does anyone need.

Good choice (for us) of beers. San Miguel and Guinness on draught for example, plus local beers as well. Food menu choice is varied. Nothing fancy but well presented, quick service, lots of it and cooked to perfection. Been twice in a week it's that good. Eat in or sit outside. Always busy, a good sign. Would thoroughly recommend.

Didnt stay long but great roast dinners on a Sunday. Small place but big beer garden, they don't get held back by it.

Called in last Sunday with my two lads, and ordered three large beef Sunday roasts. I have to say this was one of the best roast dinners I've ever had! The beef was absolutely gorgeous, melted in the mouth, and the gravy was fantastic. Came with roast spuds, mash and very nice selection of veg (carrots, peas, leeks, broccoli) plus a jug of cheese sauce on the side. The boys agreed too! Great value at £9.95 a head. Had a pint of Ruddles Best which was also very well kept and went down a treat. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Lovely meal, nice and hot and plentyful. Third visit.

Very nice people and food was lovely

We had a meal and we both enjoyed it. There was plenty the gammon covered the plate also plenty of side salad. Will be going back. Have heard the Sunday roast are good so next time.

Lovely atmosphere, great find with lovely gins 😄 always enjoy a visit. Thank you.

Nice pub food limited but good. Something had died in the gents and not recently.

Smart traditional licsl, but very high bar counter which is quite odd....

Great night Kim top girl great atmosphere

If you’re looking for the best Sunday roast then head for here.  Today I’ve had a large mixed roast comprising of beef and pork, costing £9.95. For this, you get several thick slices of beef and pork (the quality of which is exceptional), roasties, mash, giant parsnip, stuffing, crackling and a Yorkie. On the side I got cauli, carrots,  broccoli, peas, a full gravy boat and a small jug of cheese sauce. For me, a good gravy makes a Sunday meal so I was so happy to see a whole boat of the darkest, juiciest gravy with bits of meat floating around in it, just for me! Clearly this has been made with those amazing bits from the bottom of the roasting tin. My customary steak on a Friday night gets me excited too. Tender meat, chips, peas, toms and a salad. Tasty. The Fox should be considered your first choice for a place to eat in the town, especially on a Sunday. The Castle on the high street is only a quid or so cheaper per meal but is not worth the saving, and it’s Sunday roast is not a patch on the Fox’s. Beer at The Fox is top notch too. Just a small choice of three real ales, but they're good. I'll enjoy a pint of Ruddles or Three Tuns.

Nice little pub in Wem with decent food at a reasonable price

Really good atmosphere, lovely staff, looking forward to the summer in the beer garden!

Wonderful pub, great company with old friends from over 40 years, lovely village, good food

Excellent Sunday roast. Especially the roast potatoes. Highly recommend.

Been to the fox many times the food is always excellent

Have had several lunches here. The staff are friendly and the service good. The food quality is excellent and caters for most tastes.

Same old menu but too many meals not available food was good, but little effort made for Xmas.

Amazing traditional pub food, nice selection of drinks, friendly staff and you don’t get stared at by local drinkers if you are just eating. Food is perfectly cooked whether you have a curry, fish and chips, pie (amazing!) or steak which I would recommend the most, it’s the best pub in Wem!

We like this little pub to meet up in, infact we're meeting up again next week. It's very friendly and the food is always really good.

Good food and very helpful staff, superb landlord

Excellent Sunday lunch and great beer

Truly fantastic meals to be had in this friendly pub, value for money and without exception the best pub food I have tasted. You will not be dissapointed! The steaks are cooked to perfection upon your individual taste and the Steak and Ale pie is a MUST!!! Shortcut pastry is delicious with oodles of meat inside. Chips are yummy too. Oh forgot to mention the puddings are delicious, hard to beat this place. So it only leaves me to say.....try it! Staff are superb and so friendly too.

Returning again to the town of Wem and popping into the Fox twice in as many weeks we find it still clean and welcoming with food that is warm and filling. Leon and his staff are top notch and just make you feel so at home. You can tell it is a place that locals love to drop in to and visit with friends and have a drink and that is what a pub should be about. Good value for money at the Fox. Thanks Leon!

Friendly staff, good beer & probably the best pub Sunday roast I’ve had. Next time I’m in the area will definitely drop in again. Well worth a visit

Fabulous food, decor and staff. Highly recommended (Sunday roast is our favourite)

Warm welcome after hard day moving, Food was fabulous Tasty & welcomed because I didn't want to cook Thanks Leon & Kim

We as a famerly had one meal at the fox inn ,it was very well cood and served , i add a steak with all the trimings first class we all said we will go back to the fox if in wem

Good food and service .. in a welcoming atmosphere..

Very welcoming landlord and landlady.

Great gammon...great steak pie. Very reasonable price. And good beer !!!!

My family and I including our golden labrador visited this lovely little pub on the 26th of August for Sunday lunch.

Visited this pub today when staying in the local area with family, excellent quiet little pub, reasonably priced and the food was exceptional along with the service, all staff a credit to the pub

Very good meal in cosy atmosphere. Surprisingly good menu for small Pub. Staff were plessant, efficient and attentive. Would definitely visit again, particularly if staying again on nearby Caravan Park, where food available is of poor quality greasy variety. Prices were very reasonable.

Had a lovely meal which was good value for money. The menu offers a good selection of pub favourites like steak, burgers, lasagna and pie etc. Meal arrived well presented and good portion size. Food was delicious and could not fault it. Staff friendly attentive and helpful.

Superb eating and drinking experience... Great staff

Revisited the Fox pub approximately one year after our first visit whilst staying nearby (The Old Rectory). The food was as great as we remembered, particularly the Rib eye steaks; the staff and customers are all super friendly as are the two owners Kim? and Leon. We picked up a relative from the local station and was amazed to see you can get a direct train from Manchester Piccadilly to this idyllic corner of Shropshire. Brilliant!! Know which way I’ll be travelling next time. Can not recommend highly enough...it’s as I remember how friendly pubs used to be. Long may the Fox continue.

This pub could be considered the best in England! I think anyone should come here even for brunch! The food is mezmerizing and everyone always massive grin on there face :D there is a spectacular range of drinks and the people that work here are delightful! 5 stars all the way!

Lovely local family pub... serve an amazing roast dinner!

Best gammon steak ever, friendly staff too

Worst curry ever had absolutely disgusting!!

The Fox was recommended by the Hotel we were staying at, and reviews on Trip Advisor made us choose to dine here, especially not knowing the area. Left a message early morning on answephone to ask them to ring back to confirm if we could book a meal, as no one had rung back by early afternoon we called again and were told although there was a party booking (whcih we assumed was a large party dining) we could be accomodated in the 'Snug' at 8pm. Arrived about 20 mins early, to an extremely busy pub which had been taken over by a 40th birthday party...which was fine...but when we got to the bar we were told they couldnt do any food and we would have to go somewhere else to eat, and suggested 2 Indian Restaurants and another pub. Fair enough they offered us a bottle of wine as an apology, but what made me want to write this review is that when we sat down to drink the wine offered, a table of four next to us were served four meals!!!! the other point is that they had our mobile phone number and no one had bothered to ring us to cancel the booking earlier in the day.Probabably nice pub grub, but check whats on before you go....

Local pub with a great sense of community. A lovely relaxed atmosphere with a happy and convivial service. But the most important thing is that if you come here eat a pie they are magnificent.

Excellent staff, lovely food 👍👍

I stopped at the Nearby Old Rectory Hotel, this cracking pub is 2 minutes walk away. Lovely pub serving quality reasonably priced pub grub. This is a great little pub, a log burning fire, real ales and a friendly atmosphere. I'll pop in here again when I'm next working in the area.

The food was delicious and hot the atmosphere is excellent the bar staff are also excellent

Great bar, friendly owners, good pub food and great atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

Probably the worst Sunday lunch that I have ever purchased. The beer was very good & the log fire was wonderful. The atmosphere was very good.

Heard the most fantastic, handsome, intelligent piper playing in the New Year. 😊

Lovely warm welcome nice food car park at rear live music at weekends

I was staying at the Old Rectory and popped here for a quick dinner. The staff were lovely and walking in alone I felt very welcome. I had a delicious steak for dinner and would definitely recommend eating here.

...the Fox in Wem has once again changed hands and now offer an extensive menu of starters, entrees and desserts which is lovely but the food in taste is normal but we admire how the entire interior has been refreshed with a new paint job and a friendlier atmosphere. There were 3 of us for lunch and 2 orders came out after a bit of a wait and the third we felt must have gotten lost (even though not busy) for it was a long time in coming but it eventually did arrive at our table...the chips were most disappointing in that they were over oily but the salad and coleslaw helped to make up for it. One thing we did find to be a bit over the top was the music was turned on after we sat down and deaf people a few houses up could probably hear it and then the TV was put on for some game and it was roaring! We were seated in another room (of this cozy, i.e. small, pub) and we could hear every word! It seems to have become more of a lads gathering place but still, we love to visit the Fox when in Wem!

Popped in here for a drink whilst looking for somewhere to eat whilst away for a weekend with my girlfriend some of the locals recommened the food here and we where not disappointed. This is some of the best pub food I've ever eaten and the staff and locals where very friendly. Really nice inside and out with a big outside decking at the rear. Definately give this place a try.

Three of us were staying at The Old Rectory, 5 mins walk away. Only open after 4 or 5pm...not sure. Called in for drinks, everyone was so friendly the menu looked good so we went back later & ate. We all had the Rib-eye steaks which were fantastic. Shirley, the chef certainly knows her stuff.

Had an evening meal here whilst staying at the nearby Rectory Hotel. Food was very good with excellent menu, well priced and delivered quickly and piping hot. Really good atmosphere - good music and throughly enjoyed our evening.

Me and the hubby went here as we had never been before although we are just a short drive away. Didn't need to book and the 2 of us got seated quick! Steak is lush you should try it, not a bad price either! The place was a little quiet which was a little bit of a letdown as I like busy places but it didn't matter that much! Thank you 'Fox Inn'.

We aren't the sort of people that go into pubs very much ,but during a walk in the small town of Wem ,we saw The Fox and it seemed really busy, we crossed over to see the menu ,and saw that they did a steak meal at reasonable prices ,so we though we would come back and have an evening meal there,we arrived later around 6.30pm and asked for a table for two ,we ordered drinks and soon a table became free ,we looked at a menu but really we had already decided on rump steaks ,my husband had his well done ,and mine I enjoy medium ,both served with a chips and all the trimmings you would expect to come with a steak meal ,I too ordered a pepper sauce , it wasn't long before our meals arrived and they looked scrumptious, I have to add these steaks were fit for a king as they we not small and they were very tasty and cooked just right for both of us ,after our meals we chatted to a few local customers who told s the lady who owned the Fox was named Irene , she said hello to us as we ,enjoyed another glass of wine, it was a really nice evening and would eat at THE FOX when we are next in town Thank you

My partner and I came here to eat on a couple of evenings, while staying in the area. It appears to be a 'locals pub' but that didn't take away the hospitality of the landlady and staff. We enjoyed the food which was very nice and good value for money. It is a small intimate dining area but that was part of the charm.

Amazingly friendly landlady and bar staff. Good choice of Ales and a varied menu containing great tasting home made food

Lo que no se quiere en este lugar? Encantador pub local, elegante, con un ambiente tradicional. Jardín muy bien, la comida fabulosa, gran relación calidad-precio, excelente personal y la propietarias más que siempre te hace sentir bienvenido (incluso si no eres un local Wemian). Mejor pub en Wem.

Buen tamaño, todas las comidas y bastante barato, fresco. Parece ser más de un pub de bebedores de comer fuera lugar como el pequeño comedor es muy sencilla y cansados. Gran lugar para una buena abundante comida.

A really great meal. Different directions. Typically English but also Indian. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Tip: drink Navi rum

Good food and service, generous portions, excellent value for money.
