The Lion Priorslee in Telford and Wrekin

Had tickets to see Yam Yam Elvis with Bottomless Brunch on Sunday 9th June. Entertainment was great, the food was superb, plenty of it and excellent variety of dishes. Atmosphere and service was, as always, fantastic. Definately hope they do it again. Great value and a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Recommend fully.

Booked the Lion for family party for 20. They provided a great buffet, really nice quality and plenty of hot food which we much prefer. The staff are great. Jude organized everything for us and made sure we had a great night. Lots of people seem to eat here around tea time, nice and busy and the food's good. Highly recommend this place.

Had a family get together of around 30 we were made really welcome great selection of drinks and good food for those who ate great garden for the children. Thank you for being so accommodating.

I had Broccoli and Stilton soup which was obviously home made and delicious. I had the curry as a main, and again home made and an excellent creamy taste. Good value for money, I’ve no hesitation in recommending a visit if you’re in the area.

We held a "Celebration of Life" here for our mother and Jude could not do enough for us. It was the first time we had visited this lovely pub. It has a warm and welcoming atmosphere and we immediately felt at home. The event went well. Myself and my daughter both have food intolerances and Jude went out of her way to assure us that she understood and would make sure that there was no cross contamination in the kitchen. She even went out and bought us special vegan alternatives and kept our food away from everyone else's food. Encouraged by this we held a second event this week for family after the interment of our mother’s and father’s ashes. This time my 8-yr. old granddaughter was present and she also has severe, multiple food allergies. As a family we rarely eat out due to these allergies. Once again Jude excelled herself. My granddaughter really felt safe and enjoyed the food that was cooked for her. We can definitely recommend this pub and Jude is an absolute gem along with all her friendly staff. Many thanks Jude. In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, "we'll be back!" 😊

An amazing meal last night . For my Husbands birthday ( having missed last years birthday meal out also Wedding Anniversary in July and my New years eve Birthday ) friendly helpful staff , completely Covid safe .Very tasty food. We enjoyed it so much...

Big beer garden great for social distancing. The staff were all really nice and accommodating. The food was good too.. would recommend the pizza!

I have never been to the lion before and i was very impressed. The food was amazing and the staff friendly and helpful. I have booked to go again next sunday.

Absolutely exceptional food, lovely beer garden, they have done the place out very well. Great country style pub

Pub is very clean, modern. On arrival we were shown to our table and drinks were organized. Food was great actually, pricey but worth it. Enjoyed the range of beer also. Once we had finished our meals, table service then abruptly stopped which was fine...

No track and trace is my biggest concern, they had teenagers coming in and out of the kitchen all giggling and shouting over at each other whilst people were sat eating, they got a lot of orders wrong and made a lot of mistakes and...

Had a great night, food good pub grub. Drinks reasonable price (large wine 5.50) relaxed atmosphere, large beer garden at the rear. Will definitely visit again.

Food was well priced and delicious. Service was fantastic, thank you Toby for the great service, it was nice to meet someone who took a passion and knowledge in the drinks they were serving.

We have visited the Lion for years, during lockdown the work that has taken place is great, the outside bar lovely, the garden makes you forget what is going on in the world for the duration on your visit. Thanks for making going out feel...

We've visited the Lion a few times since the easing of lockdown. First-off, the place has just been renovated and it looks clean and inviting. Can't vouch for the food as we've never eaten there but, drinks-wise, there are some negatives: 1. The range of...

Visited on 14th March. When going to sit at a table I noticed it was sticky with drink so I asked barmaid for a cloth to wipe it. She said she would come over and clean it. My husband then ordered our drinks mine was...

We visited this establishment whilst on a course and stayed locally. We thought we would eat here on our first night as it was just next door. I ordered the nachos, which should have been a safe bet, but the cheese was not melted so...

Booked a table every night I was here. The assistant manager made me and my friends feel welcome as soon as we arrived. He knew our drinks order every time we went in The food was outstanding, better than any pub I’ve ever had food...

Salty and greasy! Pre ordered a group of meals but when we got there they had no record of the preorder. So we ordered again. Weirdly the beef and ale pie looked the same as the chicken and mushrooms pie, dark brown gravy. Chips were...

First no cider at all in the bar. Then first two larger choices were off. The meals that arrived were not what we ordered and the beef caserole was salty. The pudding choice had run out. The latte and capucinos were the same looking like...

We meet here as a Book Club and had our Christmas meal, I had the loaded nachos for sharing as a main and it was massive and very tasty

Great food, not startling choices but really well done, the range of beers is fantastic, and the staff could not have treated me better. What a contrast to two years ago when I last visited when there was zero choice and no food, the atmosphere...

I have never been so disappointed to write a review. We dined here a few weeks ago and to say I was impressed was an understatement, place, service and food was amazing. Returned last week and what a difference, so bad refused to pay for...

Had a family meal and must say it was a fantastic evening.had superb salmon cakes and Malaysian fish seafood curry that was perfectly cooked. Thd burger was really just done to perfection. Who can not say no to homemade chunky chips. All in all fantastic...

Visited here first time. Nice meal would say average. Found that the pub it self was very loud couldn’t hear ourselves think let alone having a conversation. The seating isn’t the best you feel over looked and crammed in. Would probably visit again but rather...

Well we visited here on Saturday night because we could walk and both have a drink, we loved it and will certainly be returning. We were undecided about whether we would eat or not and in the end decided to have a pizza between us,...

Ordered drinks, we asked if we could have food and pay at end of meal. Yes that was OK gave them table we would be on. We asked if they would need a card so they could put drinks on they stated no! Ordered food...

Recommended, just about, but with certain reservations. In general the food was very good, or the starters and mains were, but the desert was hugely disappointing. On the recommendation of my son, who had tried it the previous week, we had the ice-cream sundae, but...

Wasn’t expecting such a good curry, but delicious veggie Thai curry with coconut rice. Friendly staff. Excellent supper.

Popped in here by chance on Bank holiday Monday. Ordered 4 meals. Great food and great service. Delicious garlic bread!! Staff were lovely and welcoming and very pleasant. Food was very reasonably priced too. They're busy refurbishing out the back with decking so they can...

Just popped in for lunch with a friend and there was a very strong smell of bleach that lasted the entire time we were there, which does put you off eating! The food was ok but our jacket potatoes could have done with a little...

Was a compleat let down after going on a Saturday night and having a lovely meal we decided to go on a Saturday lunchtime to get a a very poor meal and lots of crap as to why

We ordered food on a Saturday lunch with only 2 other tables in the establishment. We witnessed a customer complaint poorly dealt with. Then after questioning after 1 hour where our food was they did not know. Decided to leave & not proceed with the...

We visited here at night for the first time since it’s re furb and new management... it’s not plush or fancy and the menu is small BUT value for money was amazing. We had starters, mains (all steak, cooked perfectly!!) one desert and two bottles...

Booked for 6 people at 6pm on Friday evening. Arrived early bar busy ,ordered drinks opened tab and sat down. Only seemed to be 1waitress on. At 7ish we ordered starters and mains. Starters arrived about 7-30 minus 1. I had garlic mushrooms which were...

This place was to die for. Set menu on the weekend. Great staff nice and relaxed. The food was just the best I’ve had in a very long time. Priced right for the quality

Second visit to the Lion after friends introduced us to it, first visit was amazing food/service/experience great but we took different friends for a second visit and was slightly let down. A good draw to the pub is the Saturday night offer off steak for...

Popped into the Lion for Lunch yesterday with a friend, 5 real ales on and a 6th waiting to go on, I decided to try the Wainwright’s it was at a perfect temperature and totally clear, I ordered a bacon and Brie panini was asked...

Our local pub The Lion we have visited for many years. A very friendly place. Recently it has been under new management and had a complete makeover. Gone is the olde worldly feeling to be replaced by a modern version. However I was very pleasantly...

I ate at The Lion with a friend on Saturday night and what a fantastic experience. Two steaks and a bottle of house wine for £25 (with the option of upgrading the wine). Despite the cost, the food was of a high standard. My steak...

Visited the Lion Christmas Eve with my family and was disappointed! The pale ale we had was nice and the bar staff friendly but the food wasn’t good. We had fish and chips and the fish was completely burnt, it was impossible that the staff...

Attempted to eat here with a group of 8 people. It was a Saturday night and we attempted to order at 8:25pm and were told that they were not taking any more food orders as we were too late. We couldn't believe this and asked...

Had a lovely meal with friends, 12 in total. We had a variety of the food choices on the menu and there was nothing but compliments on the meal we had. The atmosphere in the pub was very good, the staff were attentive and pleasant...

Went on a Saturday for the steak night really good value. Food good, service good. It gets busy so best to book. The service is a little slow but we don't mind that if the food is good. The pub has been refurbed and is...

What an awesome evening totally free, the Management were super calling in extra staff due to demand and fantastic Pork and Stuffing Baps

Just home from the firework display and can only praise the recently appointed manager and his staff for an excellent FREE evening of entertainment, especially for a small pub and well done for calling in extra staff at short notice due to the unprecedented demand....

Now under new management and what a transformation, clean premises, well presented staff a pleasure to dine here, evening menu is limited but quality, the food was outstanding, top notch cuisine and the steak is to die for, many thanks for an enjoyable night.

Lovely Lunch today with extremely friendly staff led by super management, this pub is a wonderful old coaching inn 2 minutes from the M54 and Telford Railway station

This place has the feel of an unpretentious locals’ pub - and there’s nothing wrong with that ! It is clean and tidy but lacks a distinctive character. I visited on a Wednesday evening and there was a good mix of men and women with...

Very disappointed in my visit to this pub with friends. It was a quiet Sunday afternoon, yet there was tables full of empty glasses and dirty plates, we stayed there over 2 hours and the dirty glasses were left there. The cleanliness of the pub...

Dissapointed with the whole experience. Family meal for 8 to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday. Food was the worst we have ever experienced. Steak was over cooked, Hammond was chewy and Dry. Not quite sure where the meat was on the racks of ribs. By...

My partner and I and our mum went for Sunday Roast , the menu was sparse , no choice on website Facebook pics look amazing and offers 2 for 12 , When arrived very dark settling , we ordered 3 Roast beef and , it...

1st class service small quaint pub very helpful staff great with kids to. There was 12 of us for a Sunday Lunch nothing was to much of a problem, The food was great served piping hot, no microwave rubbish in site, will definitely be going...

Just had an appalling meal at The Lion Inn. The following observations in no way reflect on the bar/serving staff - who were the only saving grace for the place - the food and the waiting time were a disgrace. The starters arrived after we...

The Lion Inn is located on the Shifnal Rd in Telford you will find plenty of parking in the car park opposite.. The pub has a large beer garden. The staff were really friendly and soon found our table. There is a Tab facility for...

We were a family of 7 hoping for a family birthday celebration meal. We were greatly disappointed, however rather than harp on about all of the negatives here are some suggestions for the Lion proprietors to take on bard for future customers to have an...

As my previous review has been deleted for some reason, I thought I'd write another to try and save people from wasting their money. I visited here with my fiance about a month ago after hearing it had been refurbished and was under new ownership....

What once was a Genuinely Lovely, Friendly Family pub is now a Soulless Empty space that lacks the Heart of needed for a public house. I was shocked to see the once beautiful garden looking like a council estate park. Glass under the slide dirty...

Had a nice mushroom starter The main was lamb, which was rather small with mash The lamb was tasty and the mash nice and creamy, but the gravy was lacking in punch The veg didn’t come, and they offered me a salad which came after...

beautiful homemade food with such a friendly warm welcome by new management, what makes it even better is the staff are so bubbly it creates a great atmosphere! The food is incredible, and the manager Robyn is always recommending things and also alters anything if...

Returned for a belated birthday meal with the family. Great atmosphere in the pub with the rugby on. Meal and service was outstanding. Went for one of the specials and the extra portion of the salmon while not necessary was a lovely touch and is...

Much improved atmosphere, this used to be a dreary place. Went for a drink on a Sunday lunchtime, the place was buzzing. Good selection of beers, wine is better, so its great to have a decent pub again in Priorslee. One observation though. When we...

Arrived for a lunch at 2.00 order not taken for 10 minutes and meal did not arrive for another 45. We were expecting everything to be freshly made because of the delay how disappointing when it finally arrived. The vegetables and stuffing balls had clearly...

Under new management don’t be put off by previous experiences , the food is 100% home cooked with forever changing menu and specials . Tuesday, Wednesday order at the bar Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday table service. Recommend anyone to book to save disappointment on the...

Thanks so much to Robyn and the team for making my partners grandmas birthday meal enjoyable. The rugby was on so there was plenty of atmosphere and the food was so tasty. The portion didn't look huge but honestly none of us could finish our...

We went last night. Last minute booking. Lovely meal. Made to feel welcome and lovely atmosphere. Will definitely go back again.

Took the family for a meal as a thank you for throwing me a surprise birthday party earlier in the week. Had not been in for a while and the new manageress made us feel very welcome. The food was excellent and the staff can't...

We visited on Saturday 20th January after hearing that management had changed for the better. We had a very enjoyable homemade meal, comprising of chicken in Stilton & bacon sauce, homemade burger with mozzarella, homemade onion rings and halloumi salad. Each meal was packed with...

I was going to write a review which pointed out the considerable failings of this pub but the negative list is too long and the place just doesn't deserve the effort. All I can say is avoid it unless charmless and crass service from the...

We went to this pub on Boxing Day for a few pints after a very enjoyable walk. We were greeted by a very aggressive bar manager who was moaning to other customers about his staff not wanting to work on boxing days. He served us...

Great atmosphere newly refurbished with excellent food and service.Nice to have a quality pub back in Priorslee with the atmosphere as good as the Lake District.

We have never been here before but had been told to give it a try. We arrived just after 13:00 having not booked the place was packed. I ordered two JTO’s and a steak with chips and a salad, the wife had the Scamp chips...

Just had a wonderful meal at The Lion. The food was simply out of this world and served with a smile. They easily catered for over 20 of us and it made a lovely change from the usual corporate Christmas meals where they count the...

Four of us had Sunday lunch here last week for the first time as our usual choice was fully booked. Apparently the beef was ok but the pork was dry, tough and not very hot. It seems like there must have been a pot of...

After a bad experience under new ownership in April, we hadn't been back to this once-lovely pub for 6 months. However, we'd heard it was now under new management again (apparently there'd been another one in the intervening 6 months but he only stayed for...

Típico, típico pub Inglés con gran atmosferá, gente local y estudiantes de la vecina Universidad de Wolverhampton. Cenamos muy bien...

Booked in for another meal. As another reviewer mentioned it is now been cash only for over 9 weeks which seems very strange. We had ordered food and everything looked great apart from one meal, where the medium rare steak arrived very over done. (See...

We visited The Lion at Priorslee last weekend with my step daughter and her husband we agree with every word they said on their review recently. They came all the way from Bath to visit us and were looking forward to a nice meal, what...

We booked a table at this pub for last Saturday evening. This used to be my father's local when the previous owner Natalie ran it. It was great food back then and the service was excellent. However, last Saturday was a dreadful experience. We arrived...

If you want the classic English Pub experience, this nails it. The food reviews vary, but I've only had good experiences spending many evenings there drinking. What I like best is that even when the pub is hopping, I could hear my blokes talking without...

Looking for somewhere to keep kids entertained from two to ten while the adults chat, drink and eat? This this pub garden is perfect for a summer evening family get together or if you are an Auntie or a Granny been asked to babysit an...

This is a lovely place, a 'proper' Pub, with friendly and welcoming staff. The Food Menu is adequate but good and prices are reasonable. Recommended for Telford.

Good pub style menu. Fantastic homemade onion-rings. Good dark beer - Doombar. Great atmosphere, lovely, friendly staff. I shall come again.

We have eaten here a number of times and I have written a previous review in Feb 17 praising the good value menu and home cooked food. Well what has happened??? We called in for lunch a few weeks ago and the menu had changed...

Had a meal here a few weeks ago and we decided to pop in tonight and eat again... What happened?? My Medium rare steak was rock hard and cooked "well done," the nice salad I had l had last time was replace by STONE COLD...

Had a very nice meal here 5 weeks ago, lovely steak pie and lots of very nice homemade chips. So went for a repeat visit Friday night. What a difference 5 weeks make. Pie mainly gravy, 16 chips that would have fitted into the palm...

Had 3 course Sunday dinner all 3 courses were really nice so nice went back the following week. Friendly staff.

Wouldn't eat here. Place is quite dirty. Toilets are rank. Does well as ricoh and uni campus is down the road.

We'd reserved a table for 6 people but it was only set for 5. However, we all managed to squeeze on and after asking for an extra place setting several times it eventually arrived with the starters. Talking of starters, beware of the fishcakes (plural)...

Real ale pub with no real ale Grilled goats cheese on with crusty bread was a slice of white mothers pride!!!!! Fish chips mushy peas with tartar sauce sounds good until you get it. Wet slimey fish, at least the batter was crisp, garden peas...

Saturday night is when you expect a pub to be working at its best, well this pub certainly didn't get that message! No real ales, tables sticky, mushy fish, uncooked chips and enough grease on everyones plates that your left wondering whether there is any...

The food was good - lovely fresh salmon in a tasty sauce. plenty of veg and a selection of starters and puddings, all at a very reasonable price.

Most disgusting place only one type of real ale, tables sticky, scampi and chips fried up with old oil. The beer was rubbish. Not been there for a while, won't be going back anytime soon.

We were just passing this lovely pub and decided to call in for lunch. The pub is lovely inside, very traditional which nowadays is all too rare. We only ordered burgers and chips but they were lovely. We've probably had better chips in the past,...

Very simple pub grub but very tasty with home made chips. Prices very good and ideal for a down to earth meal. Well recommended

We went here after an extremely rude experience at another pub in Telford. The lady behind the bar and the one who brought us are food were friendly. Food is typical pub fare, good value. The one downside is that the pub was very cold!

We were staying in the nearby campus for the night and on the Waac in noticed what seemed from the outside to be a very nice place to go for a drink and a meal. Wrong on arrival to a not very busy pub we...

Myself and 4 colleagues were staying at the nearby campus on a business trip and decided to go and enjoy a drink. Walked in and immediately we fell in love with the place, quiet and so lovely inside. We were served by the owner of...

I came here for drinks with colleagues after a conference at the nearby University campus. The beers were cold and frothy which was just what we needed. We stayed for food and all five of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The plates were overflowing with...

Friendly service, good menu choices. Vegi lasagne lovely, fish and chips tasty. Pies and specials are always good. Reasonable prices. I'd definitely recommend...only thing i would say is the tables always feel sticky.
