The Ploughboy in Shropshire

Brilliant all day breakfast. Cooked to perfection.

Cheap and cheerful. Very nice vegan burger. Great value and friendly staff. 😀

Great breakfast, good value, friendly service.

I had a pot of tea and and a cheese sandwich lots of cheese I give this place 10 out of 10 and the staff are always friendly

Staff very friendly and helpful and food was excellent and well worth the price would definitely go again

Extra large breakfast is to die for... Outstanding

Good food reasonably priced. Friendly staff.

Excellent value for money and extremely high quality too. Great traditional cafe with friendly service. I spent quite a while looking at all the alternatives in the area before deciding on this one and was delighted with my choice when we visited yesterday morning 🙂

What a fabulous place this is!! First time we have been in and it won't be the last! Went in as a family of five, ordered breakfasts, food came very fast and was absolutely lovely!! Staff friendly, place was spotlessly clean, prices reasonable. What more can you want? Well done all.

I am 10 and I eat here with my family. I and my family LOVE! The food here. The service here is outstanding the milk shake are amazing.

This place I would say is basic but it was clean and well run, the bench seats are a bit close to the tables for people like me of the fuller body, but the food was good hot and well turned out, they had a good full menu for first course and some puddings plus cakes, we have not been before but would go again

Love this place!! Been going since I was little, wished I went more often! Food is always great! 👍🏼

Nice cafe... Lovely full English breakfast.

Really nice breakfast, good quality & friendly staff Clean cafe, lots of choice on the menu and breakfast arrived quickly

Easy relaxed atmosphere, great food and not too expensive

Lovely food and very responsibly priced. Got 3 cups of tea out of my teapot too which was great. Would come back!

While campaigning at the showground we decided to walk to the Ploughboy Cafe after reading reviews, we was not disappointed. The greeting by the lady as we walked in was great, the food was cooked and delivered in timely manor, the quality of the food was fantastic, they even let me plug in phone my charger. I will return when we are next in the area

Best English Breakfast in Shrewsbury town.

Really enjoyed it my breakfast. Service with a smile. Exactly what I wanted. Thanks.

3 of us went in for lunch . Sausage and chips . Roast beef dinner . And I had fish chips and peas. Very disappointed, my fish was a shaped piece of what was said to be cod ? Overcooked, chips looked reheated .£9-50. A meal I could do at home for under £2-00. Roast beef dinner swam in gravy , beef was more like boil in the bag . Sausages and chips typical cheap manufactured . And chips seemed reheated .

One of our (many) regular stops in Shrewsbury. Basic (not a criticism) with good food and pleasant staff. Nice and central for the town.

One of Shrewsbury town centres gems. A locally-run, old-school, motorway-cafe-style diner specialising in breakfasts and English value food. Great portions, amazing value and outstanding friendliness. The Ploughboy is the hub of the Shrewsbury town centre community.

On a day trip from Swansea and fancied a roast dinner, something difficult to find in Shrewsbury. After seeing a good choice on the menu and seeing the 5 hygiene rating. I popped in for a turkey dinner. Very clean place, charming staff and generally a nice good value dinner but I question the turkey, or whatever it was. Tasted very strange and I have doubts as to what it was. Time will tell if I go down with something?!?

The staff are very efficient and polite. The food is very tasty. As good as ever. Thoroughly recommend.

Myself and partner called for a breakfast after catching the train on the heart of Wales line in Swansea. With the breakfast, we had a choice of tomato or beans. My partner doesn't like eggs, so she asked if she could have a portion of mushrooms instead. When we received the bill, an extra 95p had been added to the bill. We thought that if my partner didn't have an egg, then the mushrooms could have been given free of charge. The breakfast was tasty, but we felt disappointed with how we were charged for the portion of mushrooms. At the counter, we mentioned this, and the extra cost was deducted.

Polite and helpful staff, classic Cafè look and feel. Menu what you would expect. Quality of breakfast food items is dismal. Average cafe pricing but overpriced for the quality.

Very friendly staff, good value food.

Lovely breakfast. Great value . Well cooked eggs . Nice crispy bacon . 2 full plates came , 2 empty plates taken away . Thank you very much . 😊

A very classical shrewsbury cafe. I have lived in shrewsbury my whole life (33) and I remember going there with my nan. A very nostalgic cafe with wonderful food. Me and my wife both had the sausage egg and chipped potatoes, with a tea and a milkshake. Superb little cafe.

The menu is varied, and with a good choice, there are vegetarian and vegan options. The staff were very polite and professional. And the food was delicious. It was the best breakfast I've had out in a while. I would definitely recommend this café and it was reasonably priced. The cafe itself is very clean and well set out with booths.

Always fast friendy polite. Quality staff Quality food at a good price. 5 very happy full breakfast customers 😀

Haven't been in for years, went in a couple of days ago very impressed with the whole set-up will definitely be going back

Good food, good service. Always a pleasure to visit.

Lovely cafe with delicious food!

Just popped in for a cuppa while waiting for a shoe repair. Staff very friendly & caring for several who came in needing assistance. Quick service, nice hot cuppa, clean, tody & pleasant place to spend a little time. Will have something to eat next time. Thanks ladies :)

I would say typical ‘greasy-spoon’ caff but that would do it an injustice as it’s spotlessly clean and the food served up is delicious and well presented. Great value for money too and the staff are lovely.

Order the big breakfast today great price and service was really quick. Keep up the good work

Decent honest food, very good value. A proper cafe that will fill you up without breaking the bank.

Nice place inexpensive, great bacon, not a huge meal but enough to get on with your day. I would pay more for a decent sausage and condiments, nice coffee, Prime location for great food but there is something nice about old school. Great little cafe 👍

Great customer service and proper food.

Best breakfast ever. Full of flavour. Must be local produce.

Good old school cafe. No frills, nice service and great back to basics menu. Highly recommend the plougboy. Far better than the overpriced chain coffee shops 👌

Great service, good, great value food.

Amazing place to go and have a lunch (or dinner) and the service was instant. You order and boom it is on your table

Great breakfast spotlessly clean .

Decent food,nice atmosphere, helpfully staff.

Had a lovely full English breakfast here and very reasonably priced

The sausage and chips was great, I been to The Ploughboy cafe before and it was great and it is still great now. I love the food they did of what I ordered so is is great value for money when I spent £5.65.

Good value breakfast in a cosy setting

Superb choice of breakfast menu. Helpful and attentive staff. Will be returning.

Seating to tight cannot cook mushrooms

Cheap and cheerful great for all day breakfast

Enjoyed the meal and the service very good.

An excellent breakfast, great staff! 😁

Always good food, friendly staff. Atmosphere calm and not rushed.

Great cafe with great food and all the staff are really friendly too highly recommended

Maybe not so cheap (but Shrewsbury prices) at £7 but plenty there for me. Quick service & hot meal in a tidy, roomy, well served cafe. Comfortable & clean.

Overall a pleasant experience. Called in for 2 breakfast to start the day. It was clean and the service is what you would expect in a cafe. Didn't have to wait long for the food either.

We went because it looked like a nice place .Good prices in the window. Food was not good at all had sausage and mash and me wife had the fish and chips both meal were not good sausage had a bad taste to it . batter on the fish was soft did not taste right at all .Peas like Bullets .coffee and tea was good but that was about the only thing which was good

Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely outdoor seating area. Good value £14.95 for 1 large breakfast 1 regular breakfast + 2 x coffee + orange juice.

Excellent breakfast in lovely safe surroundings. Staff very attentive and friendly. Would most definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area. Extremely reasonable prices..

A fabulous old fashioned café - spotlessly clean, friendly staff and super quick service. Freshly made sandwiches and omelettes. Covid 19 secure - well worth a try.

I normally have nothing to do with Xmas until after 1st Dec. but I made an exception due to the value of the Xmas Lunch available here. I'd have awarded 5 stars if the turkey had been 'on the bone'; aside from that the food was good and plentiful. There's a lovely atmosphere in this cafe and Bristol Rovers also gave me an early Xmas gift by beating Shrewsbury Town 4-3 later that afternoon!

Popped in for their vegetarian breakfast, for the price it was tasty however I'd have like to see a meat substitute such as a quorn sausage or brown bread options. I sat a booth away from the till and the smell of ammonia was extremely off putting not sure if it was from the toilets but it wasn't too pleasant. Would definitely recommend but maybe sit next to the door.

We called in for a drink and a bite to eat. nice clean and tidy Cafe. Very pleasant waitress. The food and cuppas were just what we needed. A good place to stop for a bite to eat.

Such a great place to eat, so much choice and the staff are lovely. Try the breakfasts, they are so good. And a proper coffee. You must go there.

I dropped in here on a Sunday morning having wandered around town looking for a good place to have breakfast. Everyone was really friendly and the full English was fantastic value - I'll definitely eat here again soon

A great, down to earth cafe, cooking basic food at a good price. No airs and graces or faffy presentation to their food. Friendly waitresses take your order at the table and it comes shortly after.

boring food , ordered a sandwich came with "garnish" few bits of lettuce half a slice of tomato amd 1 slice of cucumber. 5 quid for a cheese and onion sarnie , seriously dont bother lol. 2 young untrained waitresses both forgetting stuff, busy chatting , no decent customer service. Please train your staff ! wont be going back.

My partner and I went in whilst on a day out in Shrewsbury. We wanted a light bite and both ordered cheese and ham omelette. We were served very quickly and asked twice for our order within only 2 minutes of sitting down, when asked for an extra minute, we were quite literally asked a minute later. Very rushed!! The food came really quickly and was reminiscent of the type of food you would get in a typical 'greasy spoon' cafe! The style of cafe was nice in a 50s kind of theme!!The order came out within 10 minutes and tasted really nice. There was plenty of ham in it and enough cheese without being sickly.Cost wise the food was really reasonable although £1.90 for a can of diet coke and £1.55 for a bottle of water is a bit of a joke.. Would pay the same price for that in a 5* hotel!!!Overall, nice and reasonable food, overpriced drinks. Eager staff!

Best cafe in Shrewsbury, lovely people! Great English grub. Great place to have a coffee and relax, very family orientated

great food and fast service. lovely staff and good facilities to enjoy the summer sun and the good ice cream

I popped in for a breakfast come lunch and whilst it wasn't quite a 'greasy spoon' it was basic English cafe grub and of mediocre quality.

This was a gem of a find, nothing fancy but good food, good service, great value, just delightful. Food was served quickly, piping hot and very tasty. If you want a good breakfast go here

I have been going to the ploughboy since I was a young lad , and it's a nice cafe in the town on mardol , it's not fancy nor pretentious , it does what it says good breakfasts, good dinners good staff . Will be visiting again I'm sure !

I had heard about this cafe from a friend so as myself and partner were in Shrewsbury thought we'd give it a go . It looked very popular as we entered and was clean and tidy . Nice unpretentious menu and what I call a proper cafe menu which is a rarity in this day and age . We both had a mug of tea .. great . And we both opted for a cheese omelette 1 with chips and 1 with side salad . Perfect omelettes with plenty of cheese and just the right amount of chips and side salad . It was scummy . We will be back again as we were really pleased with the service the food and the atmosphere.

Visited as were tempted by the special offer board for the fish and chips. What a disappointment. The fish was an awful grey colour, the chips were okay and the peas like bullets. Obviously all come from the freezer! The drinks also overpriced. £1.60 for a small glass of orange squash. The staff looked as though they couldn't be bothered as it was late afternoon, they obviously wanted to go home. Once bitten twice shy I'm afraid.

First cafe we came to and we were so pleased we did. The staff were lovely nothing was too much trouble for them. The breakfast was fabulous, best bacon I've had in a long time. Would definitely come back here for breakfast. Thank you for a great start to my Saturday morning.

This little cafe is utterly unpretentious. The menu is quite limited and simple: the food unadorned but well-enough executed.

It's my breakfast stop when I'm passing through - easy parking vast cafe menu - the Ploughboy special is my morning choice with a mug of tea! Served and cooked with a smile - brilliant staff, clean and tasty food -

This is a cosy little cafeteria with a nice atmosphere. Seating is in the form of booths not dissimilar to those in American Diners.

We tend to be creatures of habit, when we find somewhere that gives great value and serves great food by cracking waitress's, we stick with it.

We often visit this cafe in the town. The owners are so friendly. Very clean and lovely coffee. Good choice of cakes and proper chips.

I stopped for lunch with my 2 daughters and my eldest had the large fish fingers which in all honesty given the 2 minutes it took to arrive can't have been cooked properly and the grey mush inside the batter was enough to put anybody off. She ate about a quarter of it and couldn't eat anymore. I had sausage egg and chips and the chips had obviously been reheated and we're just the little bits out of the bottom of the pan. My daughter was ill that night and I believe it was from eating here although obviously can't prove it. Staff could have been friendlier too. Won't be going back anytime soon.

My wife and me went into this restaurant because it looked popular and had a good menu at a fair price. The meals we had were ordinary and not well cooked. The jumbo fish fingers had a grey looking mush inside them and not properly cooked. If I were a chef I would be really ashamed to have served this food.

Visited recently & found this to be a great find in Shrewsbury. Brilliant freshly cooked food at a fare price. Went for a great English breakfast & returned for afternoon tea & scones. Really worth a try.

Always use this café when we are in Shrewsbury, it gives absolutely great value, the food is always served hot and freshly cooked and served by lovely waitresses.

Good food and great staff. Who all Like a laugh. I'm usually in there at least once a week. Meeting up with the mother in law. For the English breakfast and milky coffee. And I must say the best

This place had been in the area for ages and the reason being is because it cheap and cheerful and the staff lovely. I always pop in for something quick. This place is good if someone on a budget as it definitely cheap but the good is great and very enjoyable.

We were hungry & looking for somewhere that cooked a good breakfast, & stumbled across this fabulous little cafe! It was 11.50am when we entered,& not much more than 5 minutes later we were served! Excellent quality bacon that was freshly cooked, egg,etc. Hot toast,& a really good mug of filter coffee. Very simple inside,but,spotlessly clean. Friendly staff.

Me and a family member went to this restaurant after about fifteen minutes of looking around and, quite hungry, finally reached 'The Ploughboy' ready for anything. The food was very good and well presented. It gave off the look of a diner: red seats, red flowers, red menus. I was quite surprised at how little time the food took to arrive, especially because of the generous portions. The prices were great too. The toilets were very cold.
