The Pound at Leebotwood in Shropshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Beautiful food, the pie menu is fantastic and I could happily try them all! Great service, staff were very attentive, and the small play area outside was ideal for the kids while we finished our drinks.

We only popped in on our way home but so glad that we did. A couple of pints in the beautiful beer garden with my fiancé. Then we saw the food coming out. It smelled and looked amazing. 15 minutes later, snacks arrived. Beer battered cod goujons and cheesy chips. Piping hot and thoroughly delicious. Snack? Snacks! There was enough food to feed three people. Afterwards, we rolled out of the beer garden; there was that much food. Please, please, please visit here if you like good food and crisp beers. Enough said.

Lovely, well decorated establishment with comfortable chairs! Attention from staff was good, food was lovely (we all chose the mix and match pie/potato/veg/gravy option. Piping hot and tasty. Didn’t disappoint. Desserts were good too- generous portions.

Beware if you want to avoid a dose of food poisoning. I had the so called Gyros , it was served up on a piece of wood that looked like it had been in the garden, the chicken was under cooked, it looked like it had been dipped in yoghurt then put under the grill. I took one bite and decided to give it a miss, the flat bread was so hard you could not cut it so ended up just had a few of the fries. Having had one mouthful of chicken three hours later on came the result, 48 hrs on the toilet, it was the only meal of the day so there is no confusion. Not one to make a fuss I have decided not to go there again until a change of management.

A beautiful setting with such a lovely interior and environment. The staff were very hospitable and friendly. My husband and I enjoyed a delicious meal of home made minted-lamb pies, chips, gravy, and mushy peas. The desserts were equally tasty. Thanks to the Chefs, Charlie and Con. A huge thanks to Taryn and Erin who served us and frequently made sure all our needs were meet.

This pub’ so owners have no regard for fire safety. When I went, I saw at least two fire exits blocked by either tables or chairs. I’m

Passed the pub whilst on our way to Shrewsbury, so we decided to go in for lunch on the way back. On arrival we asked the staff at the bar if they had a table for 2 as we hadn't booked,no problem. We ordered drinks ,a 0% Guinness and 1/2 lager and lime and the staff gave us menu's. We both opted for 1 of the PIE options. My wife wanted the steak and kidney pudding ,but on this occasion she was advised it would be a pie,no problem, served with mash and cabbage/bacon in a creamy sauce and 'pan gravy'. For myself the Steak and Ale pie served with horseradish mash and cauliflower cheese again with 'pan' gravy. The pie crust's were perfect and the fillings good. The accompanying dishes were also good and tasty,(the horseradish mash had a real 'kick' . We decided against sweet (we were to full),so a bill of £40 was paid. Friendly staff in nice surroundings and a good place to eat/drink

Lovely pub, good beer and food, especially the pies! Friendly service, thank you for a lovely evening, will be back!!!!

What a lovely pub with a great eating experience. Enjoyed the 'create your own pie' idea and also the chicken Gyros and the house burgers. Lovely friendly staff.

WHY is this not in the top 10? Turned up on spec on a Friday night , found a table for us within minutes. Service was great, good advice and checked on the enjoyment of our evening. Food was exceptional with a great varied menu, something for everyone. Busy little place with outdoor seating and clean and tidy indoor seating. I would be surprised if you did not enjoy it. 2 course meal inc. drinks for less than £50 inc. a tip.

Friendly service, great food with dietary options. Serving size was generous and presentation was very appealing. Already booked for a return visit.

When we arrived the front bar area was packed (birthday party) but we were served our pre-dinner drinks quickly and without fuss, we were shown to our table on time and our first sharing dishes (cod goujons and cheesy curry chips) arrived pretty quickly, these were both piping hot and very tasty. The main courses followed, wifey had a chicken and ham pie with chunky chips, carrots and pan gravy, I had the surf and turf (10oz sirloin and scampi),this was served med-rare and also both dishes were piping hot and incredibly tasty. This was followed by creme brûlée and a double espresso. All in all the food certainly lived up to, if not exceeded expectations, we'll definitely be back to sample more items on the menu.

Nice relaxed venue serving decent meals and good service. Staff polite and friendly. Went for a Sunday lunch but will go back to try the evening menu

We went for a meal on our last night of holidaying in Shropshire. Chose the Pound based on existing reviews and ease of booking online. (We were even informed later by email that we could arrive a lttle earlier if we wished - which we did) Both of us had sea bass with mediterranean veg for mains and tiramisu for deserts. Food excellent quality and value for money. Very good service, good atmosphere and there was even live entertainment.

Great fast and friendly service. Plenty of great options on menu inc for gluten free. All enjoyed and reasonable price too 🥰

A fantastic menu, very polite staff, and a great atmosphere! Great spot for drinks or a meal! We will definitely be back!

Lovely pub, friendly staff, great food, dog friendly too. We had a great meal here the pies are amazing and there was plenty of choice of other dishes for a gluten free vegetarian.

Lovel country pub, friendly atmosphere, great service, and the pie menu is fantastic. Highly recommended for a meal with friends and family.

Had always commented on how inviting the pub looked when we drove past and managed to pop in Saturday lunch time. Had a good welcome and good range of food options. We shared a fish finger sandwich and portion of chips, both of which were lovely. Car park is of a good size and well kept garden. Would definately recommend.

Lovely pub with plenty of parking. Fabulous interiors. Very welcoming. Amazing staff. The food was wonderful. Best meal I have had in ages!

This was not a good experience. Admittedly it was a Sunday evening but that should not be an excuse if you are open. Because of the limited menu I chose Battered Cod and it is no exaggeration to say that it was the worst fish and chips I have ever been served. The batter was good but the piece of fish was very small and contained a very odd piece of something. I complained and after a defensive response the server said he would tell the kitchen and the butcher (sic). We expected some feedback with an apology and perhaps even a reduced payment. Nothing. I will not go there again.

have been meaning to call in here and have finally done it. what a busy pub for a Monday night lots of locals and people eating. we chose the pies and just about manage to finish them as such good portions all home made and very tasty. hubby happy with the local real ale selection and I enjoyed the red wine. staff very friendly and we had a moho stop over. five stars from us.

Took my parents for lunch here after visiting an ancient settlement & pine tree covered viewing point further NW in the county. Never visited before, and it was the only pub serving food that appeared to be open. So they gained the custom. But that didn't detract from how freshly cooked the food was, and not withstanding the service either. The 3 meals all consisted of excellent pub fayre. Would certainly eat here again. And be located elsewhere.Great spot by the couches and fire if just thirsty.

We’ve visited here a couple of times now and really enjoy the pies. Such good value for money in terms of quality, taste and portion size. Our waiter was very friendly and made us feel welcome. Will definitely visit again when we’re in the area

The food was beautifully cooked and served by delightful staff. Easily deserved 5 star. Best fish and chips ever. But oh! That duo belting out amplified live 'music' in that confined space. I'm afraid we had to leave. Our ears hurt. Don't go on a Saturday night.

Just had an excellent lunch here today. Great food and quick efficient service by the waiters in a cosy comfortable setting. I had the “life of pie “ experience whilst my wife had the chicken curry, both meals were very good and can highly recommend...

Oh dear, early evening meal ruined by a bunch of hyenas at the bar making thremost heinous noise throughout our meal. Ruinous !! Feel like asking for a refund of our £70.

After a good morning walk we chose The Pound as it was the closest pub/restaurant to where we were staying. We were warmly welcomed, shown to a free table and drinks order taken. The pub felt relaxed and appeared reasonably busy for a Thursday lunchtime....

Went for Sunday lunch with family to commemorate the 10th anniversary of my father passing away. The staff were very helpful and polite. The meals arrived very quickly and pipping hot with plenty of vegetables to share. Unfortunately that’s where the good news ends. The...

This is a gorgeous pub , thatched with low beams. Great menu, lunch was excellent. The bar staff were incredibly lovely , especially Matt - pay rise required! Xx

Disappointed, having read reviews terribly disappointed, ham hard with ham egg and chips, minted lamb pie, pastry hard shortage of meat. Asked if we would like dessert replied ‘yes please’ never saw her again, asked for bill and left, will not be back.

Visited having seen that The Pound at Leebotwood is now under the auspices of the same brothers responsible for The Green Dragon at Little Stretton. Popped in on Sunday afternoon for a scouting session and very quickly decided to return the following night to eat....

Called by on route back from Ludlow Races last week nice tidy pub with good size parking with easy access on and of the busy A49 main road as members at Ludlow we are going to use the pub in the future.

Really disappointed with the whole experience.On arrival we were not made to feel welcome,in fact male staff wasn't sure if there was a table for two then took us and after grunting around shoehorned us onto a table in corner of very busy small space.We...

Just had lunch with my sisters and mother on way to coleyn bay. It was so lovely we will call back on way home. The food was amazing , plenty of choice the staff were friendly and helpful.

Starter was excellent and good value. Roast was poor, beef thinly cut, stringy and tough. Had to be pulled apart rather than cut. Pity. My companions enjoyed their meals hence 4 stars not mine which would have been only three.

Dropped in for lunch today and most pleasantly surprised. Good menu, friendly staff and well presented food. Enjoyed it a lot. Thanks.

Excellent cold buffet spread of for our small family gathering of 20 people. Staff were brilliant and the food and location was ideal as we had a small section of the pub to relax & unwind.

Service and food were perfection. Greeted and served with a smile throughout. The menu is creative allowing you to choose between a range of pies, potatoes, vegetables and gravies. There is also an extensive menu. Would highly recommend!

Excellent festive lunch with friends , two of the group had mackerel for starters and I had belly pork which was a very filling and tasty starter. The group then all had the festive turkey which again was very good with a selection of vegetables...

Arrived Saturday in lebotwood Been here 3 nights now Tanya especially very helpful and all the rest of the team the same All food is excellent can't fault any of the meals the four of us have had and reasonable prices

The young Lady & Barman who served us were delightful however the food was not. We both salad, one Prawn & one Steak. Shredded ice burg lettuce with 2 slices of cucumber & pieces of tomato, Bland and disappointing and made worse when the side...

Great little pub with efficient staff. Dog friendly. Easy to find with plenty of parking. The outside is beautiful with all the flowers. The inside is just as nice, very clean. Reasonablely priced, home cooked food. We really enjoyed our meals and desserts.

We found The Pound by chance while on a long trip, looking for a quick cup of tea, and ended up eating there as well. We only had bar snacks, tempted because they looked so good. They were fresh and excellent, making a most satisfying...

Popped in after a walk over Stretton. We opted for light bites. I had cheese n pickle sandwich and side of sweet potato fries, partner had sausage bites with rosemary fries. All absolutely delicious and such a big portion. We sat in beer garden with...

The Pound is proud of its pies so we decided to go with that. You could choose from a range of pies, potatoes, vegetables and gravy to create your own meal and everything was delicious. The only downside was that it was so filling! Everything...

Had a lovely meal in beer garden with children and dog (who especially enjoyed the pawsecco and doggie treats). Lovely garden, beautiful flowers and excellent food at reasonable price. Would recommend

I’ve visited The Pound twice both for their Life of Pie deal, where you can pick your pie, your potatoes, your veg and your gravy. The pies are all homemade and filled to the brim with meat (and / or veggies!). Beef and Stilton is...

I had to send my Halloumi Salad back as their definition of a salad is considerably different to mine. I personally think that a bowl full of shredded Iceburg lettuce a few manky black olives and a sliced tomato that had seen better days is...

Called in for early supper on a Friday evening. Friendly staff were able to get us a table. Decent menu choice though we both decided for fish and chips. Portions were generous and nicely cooked. Good choice of beers, though only able to sample one.

Really great little find on the A49 close to Shrewsbury. The service was excellent, and the venue, clean, warm and comfortable. Dogs welcome. The food was cracking. Two of our party went for their speciality pies, another had the fish and chips and steak. The...

A group of four of us stayed at the campsite behind (which is also excellent) and ate in here after a long day mountain biking on the Long Mynd. Excellent beer - my friends had the Butty Bach, but I had the Ruddles and everyone...

We called at 3:15pm, ordered and waited 40 minutes to be served an incorrect order, and told it would be a while if we wanted what we originally ordered. People who came in after us, were served before us. So 2 of us ate, whilst...

Just ate at the Pound this last Friday and Saturday. Friday had fish & chips, the fish had a very light crispy batter and the fish was moist and flaky - just right! Saturday had a big rump steak cooked to perfection. The whole place...

Called in here on a lunchtime waiting for family, was greeted by two bar maids who I can only describe as “fantastic” full of smiles jokes laughter and banter! They bounced off each other which made having my pints an enjoyable experience! The pub it’s...

Good Beer. Have not tried food. But a real improvement on past management. 3rd time here and will come here again.

I don't review much but felt like I needed to this time. I called up prior to visiting as we were going as a large group and I needed to pre order but couldn't see anything vegetarian on the kids menu. The man on the...

Bit of a walk from Stretton itself but the Homemade Pies drew us in. Exceptional. As were the sides. Certainly worth £15. Lovely Pub and good to see it busy on a Tuesday lunchtime. As always with Jay Brothers establishments, Service is good - from...

Yummy Sunday roast with happy welcoming friendly staff. Eaten here twice enjoyed both occasions. Great pie night will get taste buds going and definitely fill a massive gap in tum. Sunday roast is taste and delicious. Great choice of ciders. Highly recommend.

We had travelled from Cornwall and came across several shut pubs! Starting to get a little hangry by the Time we stumbled across this gorgeous pub!! Welcoming staff, good beer and the best pie! Brilliant, glad I don’t live locally or id be the size...

A lovely pub, which we visited on two occasions. The food is excellent and well priced. They specialise in pies and have a vast range, with a range of accompanying vegetables and gravy which can be mix and matched. Proper pie, not just a lid...

We visited Monday evening my partner and I and I’m going to start this review with the word beautiful, because it describes most of what the pound has to offer Beautiful food Beautiful surroundings Beautiful staff Beautiful ale and last but not least Beautiful garden...

I really recommend this popular pub/restaurant. My wife and I are on holiday in All Stretton and dined at The Pound tonight. We both opted for a pie as a main course. They specialise in pies but still had a varied selection of other dishes....

Hard to say, however your fish finger sandwich put my mums to shame... I had asked for salad cream instead of tartare sauce , however you did not have any and I now feel like a fool for even considering it... cannot praise the sandwich,...

Sat in a booth outside on a sunny day. We decided last minute to go. We were seated in one of the garden shed type booths. Lunch menu had lots of choice- sandwiches and main meals. We opted for burgers, ham egg and chips and...
