The Old Post Office in Shropshire

Dropped in on a Saturday night and enjoyed a superb live band. Brilliant place, great atmosphere.

The only improvements I would suggest to the Old Post office is to let people know in advance that they are going to have to navigate to a car park if arriving by car, and that they recommend Saint Julian's car park, I think it was called. We tried to find someplace to park ended up wandering around the extremely crowded and tight City, had to pay the 24-hour rate at another public car park. All was well though, the room was fine, the breakfast in the morning was good, and walking around Shrewsbury is amazing and inspiring. The post office is wonderfully situated to walk from. I just wish more of these hotels had deals/passes from the car park or City to place in the windscreen and get a break on parking costs!

Fantastic lunch value for money can't wait till next time.👍

Easy walk from the train station. Right in the heart of Shrewsbury across from the Greek Orthodox church. Quiet courtyard. Large room, large bathroom. Music on Friday night was amazing!!! We were blown away by the band. But music stops before it gets too late. Good breakfast, friendly staff, excellent location.

Stayed over at the weekend, room was very tidy and clean, had a bite to eat and a drink later on when we returned, a great pub thank you for looking after us

Lovely pub friendly staff, we had lunchtime specials 2 for £16. Lovely food and good size portions.

Decent rooms, great bar and breakfast, friendly rooms. Would happily return.

Came across this place whilst walking around Shrewsbury and was met with a very warm welcome. It was bank holiday Monday and wanted a meal. The food was excellent and very competitively priced and it was a Banks's house. Superb.

Was walking around Shrewsbury wondering where to have lunch. Came across a sign lunch 2 for £16. So we thought alot of the time when you get such a good offer the meal comes and your disappointment. However this hidden gem was packed full of surprises. We entered and found half of the local community having lunch. The young lady and gentlemen was very sociable and helpful, we was informed it could be around 20 to 30 minutes before we would recieve our food. It was that busy we could see why. So made our order with a couple of drinks and Relaxed. Our food order arrived after 15 minutes and both dishes were well executed and in abundance we wouldnt hesitate to recommend so search for the old post office in Shrewsbury where you will get excellent value, great service with beautiful food. A big thankyou to the chef also the bar staff. We will definitely be returning.

Great portion, a bit greasy but good value

Very plesant pub, good selection of food and good portion sizes, very attentive staff, food was great on our visit, ordered steaks and gammon, well cooked and excellent value for money. Will definitely be back when visiting Shrewsbury

Stumbled across this lovely pub when walking through town, saw their sign outside offering two meals for £16 so decided to pop in. Two young ladies on the bar gave us such a lovely welcome and made a fuss of the dogs too. Lovely food and a great relaxed atmosphere. Fab 80s music playing too, my favourite. We'll definitely be back when passing through again. Thanks ladies :-)

Great.... Extremely Old Pub in the centre of Shrewsbury so could get everywhere easily. Room cost but added to its charm. Staff very accommodating. Would stay there again in ever back in England. Kind Regards Shane Gardner

Myself and my wife stopped in Shrewsbury, Monday and Tuesday 5th/6th August and stumbled across this place on the Monday for a bite to eat. Food was fantastic and a good selection of ales. We enjoyed it that much we went back on the Tuesday for dinner and I must say I liked the Bombardier. Special mention to Izzy as she could not do enough for us. If just coming to selecting a beer. She was helpful and she is a credit to the place with exceptional customer service. Also compliments to the chef for outstanding food. Thank you we will return to Shrewsbury and definitely the old post office!

Good outdoor area and cosy indoors, barman was sound enough just wish there was more of a vibe

Lovely pie and chips. Nice friendly warm pleasant. Well worth popping in

Really tasty good quality food. Prices very reasonable with good size portions. Have been back 3 times already!! Staff really lovely and prompt service

Had a very quick hospital appointment so decided to visit Shrewsbury for a change. Choose here to eat because we had a dog in tow . The staff were very pleasant and the food was delicious served quickly and very good value . 2 meals for £16. It's a very old pub but is kept spotless , including toilets . For non dog lovers there is a separate area where they aren't allowed . There is also a tidy outside area too .

Just a good old Shrewsbury town pub! 💪💪

Had a home cooked meal for myself & daughter, excellent quality and not expensive at all

No parking but manage to find a spot on nearby street ,we had a early start and was served a early breakfast we requested for one x

Excellent food and friendly staff I would highly recommend this little gem of a place ....freshly cooked good quality food ....There Sunday lunch is beautiful.

I popped in after the game last Sunday for a drink work some newly made friends. And I enjoyed my first karaoke night ever, I was lucky to sing together with a talented local vocalist. The atmosphere was great, and during my next visit to Shrewsbury, I'll definitely come to The Old Post Office again. Might even book my room here.

The location was good, being in the middle of Shrewsbury with the room clean and tidy. I didn't like the door lock, as I wasn't sure I actually locked it. It was the same with the separate bathroom. Despite the room being above a pub, the room was quiet.

The Old Post Office is a quaint old courtyard coaching inn, but the accommodation block is next door rather than above the pub, so it was nice and quiet. At first, things didn't look promising - you ascend a rather grim set of stairs - but I needn't have worried, the room was attractive, spacious, with an inbuilt wardrobe and spacious en suite shower room/WC. Big telly, if that's your thing, plus ample tea and coffee facilities (plus biscuits). Clean and well-aired, I did considerably better than my companions who seemed to pay more for worse rooms eleswhere in Shrewsbury. Breakfast wasn't huge, but was just right (and was served with a smile) although the choice was a bit limited. All-in-all a very decent place to stay in the heart of the historic town centre, which is something of an unheralded gem in itself.

Cozy and clean place, good breakfast

Great location, very freindly and helpful staff. Cosy bedrooms with everything you need. Bar meals are good nice selection reasonably priced

Have popped into this pub several times for food whilst I’ve been shopping and have never been disappointed. Today as it was Sunday we all ordered a roast dinner. It was lovely! It was only £9.95 each and there was plenty of food. The staff are always pleasant and friendly. Well worth a visit if you’ve never been.

We stayed here for two nights and the food and the staff was excellent. Will be stopping here again.

Excellent lunch. Homemade chips, peas, juicy chicken and good salad for less than a tenner. Good service and selection of well kept ale, can't be bad.

Always brilliant food and service 👌

1st time visiting there today. I must say ,what a hidden Gem. Has been recommended by a few people. Well worth it. Food service and very good offers. Two mains for £16.00. Don't tell too many people, I will be visiting again. Excellent!!!.

The food is excellent, all home made, large helpings and reasonably priced. They have a good selection of real ales. The service is very good

We have just eaten in her the food is to die for tasty large portions very reasonable the staff are attentive and friendly highly recommend

Nice place to stay friendly staff good meals if wanted

Breakfast was very tasty, restaurant recommendation was good

Always a very welcoming place and the food is always good

Came here a couple of years ago ( last time we were in Shrewsbury). It hasn’t changed, food and service was brilliant. Really good value and the portion sizes are great. Would never come to Shrewsbury without visiting this place it’s a Gem!

Home made Steak pie with proper home made chips - was banging ! Full of meat and thick gravy, puff pastry was light and crispy.. Maybe a spoon full of peas could have been added but otherwise can’t fault

I didn't hold out much hope for this place as it was one of the cheapest around and I didn't check reviews first, however, I was pleasantly surprised. The room was a good size, very clean, tidy, and had everything you would need. The staff were very helpful and breakfast was really good. Will definitely stay here again when I am in the area.

Very good lunch deals. Expensive drinks though. Didn't rate their ale but staff very pleasant.

I've come to this pub for many years for food, it's gone down hill. The bar maid Ellie I found was very rude to me, shes always come across with no customer service skills but on this occasion im disgusted! The interior is looking very old and tatty. And stop allowing customers to take drugs in the toilet. I found an empty bag in my cubicle. The best part was the food, the chef saved the day! Im very disappointed about this as I've come here for many years. I won't be returning again in a hurry!

Popped in without booking on Sunday, as we don’t know Shrewsbury that well we weren’t sure where to try for lunch but decided on the Old Post Office. Staff very welcoming and attentive enough, but not over bearing. Safe to say all four of us left very happy with our decision. We all had roasts, the meat was perfectly cooked, and the gravy was the star of the show. Veg really nicely cooked too and clearly fresh. At £9.95 it’s incredibly cheap, would pay AT LEAST £15 for a roast dinner of that quality. Great value for money! Would recommend to anyone!

Enjoyed my stay at the Old Post Office,nice room and great food. Excellent place to stay to explore the heart of Shrewsbury.

Had Sunday lunch. All beautiful. Meat very tender , veg in dishes , and superb gravy Went out of their way to accommodate us

OK, we asked for somewhere to eat, not too large. Advised to try the old PO Well could do with refresh ... But the food was great, we had the 2 for £16.00. We didn't expect much. How wrong can you be.. good food and good portions. Great staff.

Great location. Food was ok. It was tasty, but nothing special. Service so, so. The staff were friendly though.

The old post office is a very old building that has been nicely refurbished. There is a good choice of beers lager and cider including some excellent cask conditioned hand-pulled real ales, which were in excellent condition when we called in. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. We did not have anything to eat, but the food looked very good. There is outside seating in the courtyard. A good pub highly recommended.

Went in for food. Was told food was good. Party of 5 ladies on a Wednesday lunch. First was told no tables for 5 unless we sat in bar despite resturant being virtually empty. Then when asked for normal menu we were told we were a 'big' party so could only order from the 2 for .... menu. Strange as 5 is not an even number to make this a viable offer. Maybe this place doesn't need the custom but cusyomer service needs to improve. RUDE to say the least. Left and ate somewhere else and glad we did. Food in the Tudour was delicious and staff were so polite.

Great food, lovely atmosphere and nice customers and staff.

Silly rules. There were 6 of us - we came in based on menu shown at door but then told for 6, we had to order from a really limited menu which we didn’t want. Wouldn’t let us sit across two tables. We left.

Service was very prompt. The food was amazing and such good value. I really wanted a pie and decided to have the Steak and Ale. The steak was tender, the carrots super tasty and the chips just the right balance between crispy and soft. We had 3 meals and 3 drinks and the cost was just over £36. Fantastic value for filling and delicious meals. My family always go here when we visit Shrewsbury and once again our expectations were surpassed. Highly recommended.

A wonderful welcoming pub for a family catch up. The dog was equally welcomed by tge friendly staff, and we all had a lovely afternoon.

Been there quite a few times with friends for a meal. Good food and menu choice, friendly atmosphere, and dogs allowed..

Visited a few times for drinks over the years of coming to Shrewsbury but this was our 2nd visit for food and it didn't disappoint. Excellent value for money with food and drinks. Considering its town centre and with the cost of living they do a very decent menu affordable. My favourite is the pie with homemade chips. Staff couldn't do enough for you a great team working hard when busy, lovely pub

A really nice, dog friendly pub with helpful staff. Food was excellent, and really good value. Good range of interesting beers.

Lovely food. Great prices. Shame there were so few folks in.

Lovely Sunday lunch, great value for money.

Great place for Saturday pub lunch! Service was great and quick. I had the fish and chips. I love fish and chips and I'm very particular if they are poor and dry. These were amazing! Not greasy, lovely white glossy flakes in a decent batter. The chips are delicious too. Drinks arrived at the table promptly and the wine was good. I noticed that tables were cleared quickly when people left and laid up ready for the next customer. So many times I go to places where I begin stacking previous customers crockery. Well done to you all. Keep up the good work! 👏

Jan and I decided to go there for lunch. When we arrived we were met by efficient and pleasant staff. We had our drinks order taken and shown to a table. Soon after a pleasant member of staff came to take our order. Fish and chips for Jan and ham egg and chips for me off the two for £16.00. Meals arrived shortly after beautifully presented and tasted really good. Thank you for a lovely lunch.

Radiators weren't working, but portable ones given

Been to this establishment several times in the past when visiting Shrewsbury and just had drinks. This weekend, 1st weekend of March, we did eat here on the Friday evening, liked that much we went back on the Saturday evening. Food was brought to the table hot and plenty on the plate. The price was very reasonable, 2 main meals, 2 portions of garlic bread and 2 175ml glasses of wine cost £32.00, you cannot complain about that. The staff were very friendly and polite.

We spent one night. Nice, old-fashioned establishment. Well heated room. Clean shower but a little outdated Staff at the top. Hearty and very good breakfast. No USB socket in the room.

Hidden gem. Great staff. Good food excellent value 👌 👍

Didn't stay here but enjoyed a family meal, food was delicious 😋

Called in by chance.. On entering lovely old pub. Nice interior and very clean I had the gammon and the other half had a pulled pork burger.. The food was amazing and plenty of it.. All the staff were very friendly and polite.. Definitely recommend and go again when in Shrewsbury..

Friendly service at a nice looking pub.

We had a works meeting in their upstairs functions room. We opted to have lunch there and the food was fantastic. Reasonably priced and very good portion sizes.

Called in for lunch the other day, and it was excellent. We had the 2 for £16 offer, fish and chips, not only good value but far better than your average pub food: well-cooked, delicious, and the bar staff were extremely helpful with allergy and ingredient information. There is also a good range of beers. The toilets were clean and tidy. Nice place!

Good value meals, the Sunday Lunch was good.

Great night with old friends, reasonably priced.

Had a meal for a Christmas gathering. The hunters chicken was bloody lovely; hot, tasty and plenty of it. 2 for £16, can't go wrong. Definitely recommend.

They sold us food and beer and wine and smiled as we put the world to rights!

Very busy restaurant at this time of year with people waiting for tables. Menus pretty standard and reasonably priced but drinks are pretty expensive. Staff seemed to be feeling the pressure as there wasn't a single smile among them.

I stayed here recently for a dinner which was held at The Shrewsbury Drapers Hall. This is a very unique place to be and you couldn't beat the place for cost. The room was pleasant and clean. The bed was very comfy and the breakfast was just right. Only point maybe to say is that I was told breakfast from from 8am - 9am. Which I thought was a little early. But i really couldn't fault the place. I would defiantly recommend this hotel. Perfectly placed in the Town centre. Thank you for a lovely stay. Carl D.

Popped by at lunchtime on Saturday. Looking for a family friendly place for lunch that wasn't too loud or mad busy. Service was excellent, reasonably priced and had a childs menu. We will return for lunch again when in town.

We had a Sunday lunch and it was lovely 😋

Went for midday lunch. Good service, well prepared food. Good atmosphere

Classic hot then cold shower but did manage it. Friendly place smack in the centre. Cooked breakfast very good.

A few drinks with friends but it was very busy

The most lovely pub Shrewsbury. Historical. Dog friendly.

One of my favourite pubs in Shrewsbury, full of character and history. Great food and menu, good selection of ale on tap, drinks and really good value. Warm and cosy, lovely atmosphere, friendly welcoming staff who are only too happy to guide you through the "dishes of the day" or recommend something else from the menu. Thanks Reiss for making my lunch visit here very enjoyable and special. If you haven't been to this tucked away gem of a pub, do pop in as I'm sure you will not be disappointed.

We went in for lunch with my mother who is in a wheelchair and the staff were excellent, great variety of food and beer. Booked for Sunday lunch in a couple of weeks.

Good find for our meal this afternoon. Great prices and good tasty food in a good location

I love salsa at this location. Nice people , fantastic teachers!

So impressed by this unique little hotel. It's located in a historic building full of character. Staff are extremely friendly, professional and helpful. Great restaurant with excellent food and speedy service. Delicious cooked breakfast included with the room. Overall, amazing value for money. Thank you for a great stay: I'll definitely be back.

Two for £16 meals and delicious too lovely little traditional pub.

Great little place to stay no frills very clean and tidy staff very helpful would definitely recommend and stay again

A nice courtyard at the front of the pub, a couple of ales on the bar, the pub looks a little tired, and in need of a refresh.

Meal okay. Did bring one incorrect meal. The food could have been warmer and beef was difficult to cut and chew. Staff friendly.

Stopped for drinks with friends mid week. Serves food but we didn't have food. Located in Shrewsbury town centre

I can't talk about the rooms as we did not stay over. We popped in for a drink. Considering it was a Thursday evening, the pub was not busy, which was nice as we could talk and have a quiet drink. I love the ambience of the place, and the history is everywhere you look. As a psychic medium, it had amazing vibes and resident ghosts. Photos given are of the night out and not the location.
