The Red Lion Inn in Shropshire

Went with friends for catch up mid week, food was delicious, my steak was perfect, staff pleasant and polite. Not a busy evening. Sat by log burner in main room as it was very chilly evening.

Always good pints on and staff and atmosphere are always great.

This is the place to visit if you are not local. Perfect pint (Slumbering Monk) and very good pub food especially the bread and butter pudding.

Booked onto last order time, food and service was great. Staff friendly with a bit of banter. Night was enjoyed by all of us. Thank you. 👍👊

Closed early for food once again. Don't believe food times on their website.

Sometimes the service is a little slow but a nice place to go anyway. The food is great, but a little pricey.

A big beautiful pub! Our first visit here but certainly won't be our last. Service was fantastic. Pub is clean and so cosy. We absolutely loved it!!

Great pub. Fabulous Sunday lunch.

I can’t believe the reviews on this pub. It was the worst meal I have ever had. I am not a big eater but Sunday lunch was so small and I could not eat the beef I was chewing forever and had to leave it. However my guests fared better burger ok chicken ok and vegitarian options ok. 1 tablespoons of mash 1 tablespoon of swede 2 roasties a large Yorkshire and very nice gravy.wont be back!

Great pub! Shame they don’t sell gluten-free beer!

Love this place..good food... friendly staff... reasonably priced....

What excellent pub & brewery. Food freshly cooked, fantastic portions. Great drinks. Would highly recommend.

A really good lunchtime menu, with decent sized portions, for a really reasonable lunchtime offer price from 12 till 3pm,..

Took my Aunt there today, excellent food and service from start to finish. It’s worth a visit to experience The Mouseman room, highly recommend a visit👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Really limited for vegetarians and vegans! Very disappointed, do they know it’s 2024!?

Great place to meet friends and drink Green Monkey. Great to use the outdoor seating in the sunshine. Just had another pint of Green Monkey sitting in the sunshine. Great service from the staff tonight.

Friendly staff, great food & beers. Dog friendly.

Lovely quirky olde worlde pub. Mish mash of decor and furniture - real log fire in the winter months. Lovely food and always friendly service.

Lovely place, great staff, good pint. Can't comment on the food we got it free and not because it was bad ☺️

Food way under par. £25 for a steak that was way under cooked, mushrooms smothered in rosemary herbs so I couldn't even taste them. I could of cooked one better at home. Extremely disappointing visit. Food...1/10

Decent pub and ale. Good atmosphere.

Great lunch. Still a great local pub.

Being locals already we decided to do the brewery tour for £15. What a fabulous evening it was. Trevor was, as usual, the perfect host and Sam was a great brewery guide. It was very informative with pints before it started and an "open" bar at the end where we could pull our own pints till close accompanied by delicious hot pork and stuffing baps (veggie option available). It was excellent value for money and I would recommend it for a great evening out.

What's not to like, great beer, great pub

Not the 1st time we have been to this brewery pub. Won't be our last.....

Fantastic pub. Second time visiting Joules pubs are amazing!

This place is just up the road from us. We decided that we would meet friends for a drink a something to eat. Absolutely fantastic food. I had belly pork, my and my wife and son shared a fish and chips (they kindly brought out a plate) I didn't see a children's menu but they do smaller sizes of main meals. Being a Joules brewery the drinks are spot on. Highly recommend

Great local , food tasty and a good menu .

Good food and tradional ales brewed on site

Lovely pub well laid out, food was OK but No pie of the day was a shame but we were informed pies were off. Unfortunately only 2 staff on duty and it was busy so staff didn't seem happy. Overall we enjoyed our visit and would return. Give it a go 👍

Excellent food and service . We will be returning

Up in here for a friend's wedding and night before popped into the local town. This place was nice to sit and have a drink with our mates

Lovely lunchtime meal, I would definitely recommend the Medeteranian Pasta! Great selection of cask beers and largers also. A lovely place to sit and relax in the sun & the staff are professional yet very friendly & welcoming 😊

Good food to accompany great beer.

The food was excellent and the staff were amazing

2017 - Excellent beer. Very friendly and helpful staff. Didn't eat so can't comment on the food 2020 - as above but Sunday carvery excellent. 2024 - as above slow roast belly pork excellent

We came here for the brewery tour. We had a great night. Started off with a explanation on how Joules started and how the mouse room was built. We then went on a tour of the brewery which was very interesting and informative and finished back in the mouse room for tasting of the beers and a pork bap. We really enjoyed it and would recommend this to anyone. The rest of the pub is really nice and quaint and although we didn't have a meal here the food looked really nice. The staff are really friendly and very helpful. They also have their own car park.

Nice pub. Drinks are nice and food is great!

Great brewery tap. Always excellent beers and fantastic food.

Great beers and food, well worth a visit. 🤗

Joules brewery tour including drinks and pork bap in Red Lion. Excellent talk re Joules history and head brewers tour of brewery.

Great place, good bet, friendly staff, good food. I recommend. Dog friendly too

Great town centrePub with tasty Joules beer & good food in an historic location

A must visit. Great traditional brewery, great food.

The beers are always delicious with it being joules, and there's always lots of choice. Welcoming and friendly staff, quick to serve. The pub is cosy and Inviting with cool features and quotes on the walls. First time I had food there, I had the green monkey battered haddock and chips. Beautiful tasting food, the batter was the best I've eaten. Nice n crispy, I added stone ale gravy on but didn't find it that good, just tasted like normal powder gravy. My cousin had the belly pork, everything was really tasty and the garlic mash was amazing. The only thing wrong with it was the crackling pieces were disgusting and tasted off.

Still as good as pre Covid, well done everyone. Green monkey is always good

Wide and original variety of mains, very well cooked. And, of course, the Joule's beer and ales are excellent. Highly recommended! Just a suggestion, to add the kitchen opening hours, it is closed between 3-5.

I have been coming here with friends and family for a long time but recently we used The Red Lion for a wake. I’m very happy with the service received from Trev and the team, the food, atmosphere, drinks and all round service was top notch. Thank you

Great food, atmosphere and fresh brewed beer!

Great food, great staff. Lovely atmosphere

Stumbled on this place, food was good

First time in a Joules pub and it won't be the last. Food and beer really good. I had the beef shin and cheek and to wash it down Joules pale ale. It's a shame I was driving it went down well.

Great local pub with a lovely atmosphere. The monthly quiz night is an absolute must and a great way to get together with friends. Not just your usual pen and paper quiz, it is very interactive and good fun. Food is delicious and served by a great team. We won a couple of brewery tour tickets so looking forward to sampling their brewed in-house ales.

GREAT beer, food and service... A perfect afternoon, thank you!

Can't rate the food cos we had beer & coffee. But coffee came with scrummy little ginger bread man each. Cheese board sounded amazing, but we arrived too late for food on the day we visited. The beer is awsome. Board games available to play, we sat in beautiful medieval beamed part of the building. Could happily have stayed much longer, but would probably need carrying home

Beer was fine service good but why oh why do they not advertise the bands? Paul Parker is a amazing talent and there were 6 people listening including my 91 years old Dad. We had a great night but felt so sorry for the band 😔😔😔😔😔.

Called in for lunch on Sat. We were early but they fitted us in no problem. It great to fond some where that lets dogs in. Top food and a nice pint of blonde. We will return

Great pub food and drink, friendly atmosphere and staff

Always fab, thanks Stace and team!

We spent a wonderful day for my birthday here back in December 2023. The food, service and atmosphere was amazing. Credit to all the staff who work there.

We absolutely love this pub. Amazing service, great food, great beer, great atmosphere. Music nights are brilliant. Highly recommended.

Fab meal, beautiful interior, lovely, helpful staff. Would recommend.

Had a great Christmas meal here on Saturday, 11 in our group, lovely food, great service, good sized portions...would definitely recommend, will definitely be going back again. 😋

Top food, top service, top night! Our workforce decided to visit The Red Lion in Market Drayton for our Christmas works do and could not have left happier. We pre-ordered with Trev via email, we had a few last minute changes due to illness in the office but that was no problem for the fantastic team at The Red Lion. We had a party of around 30 with almost everyone having three courses with pre-drinks and plenty more throughout our evening. The food was cooked perfectly, and the bar staff were wonderful, quickly getting our drinks with a smile on their face all throughout the night. Nothing seemed too much for the wonderful team. A big THANK YOU from to everyone who was involved in the evening, every staff member on the front and behind the scenes gave us the best service we could ask for. We will happily be returning.

We like coming to this pub it's dog friendly and the atmosphere is good only problem was they stopped serving food at 5pm on a Sunday which was a shame seen that there was 10 of us which would of liked something to eat so had to make do with crisps instead 😊 we will be back

Great Joules pub and wonderful lager. Food really fresh and well prepared. An old pub, sympathetically extended. Wonderful stuff.

Lovely pub with attached brewery. We had the choice of sitting out in the open or in partly private booths. Pub was full, always a good sign. The beer (Joules) was exquisite and the food good, hot, tasty and cheap (though it couldn't possibly have managed the perfection of the beer). Local colour provided by a batty, posh, plastered old geezer (Think Rowley Birkin QC) telling us that Clive of India's house was opposite and that Britain would be so much better if we still had men like that around.

Great place, for an all-round great night out or a nice bite to eat. Check it out if you haven't already

Can't fault this place, staff are great, food is excellent and Green Monkey !!!

We ate here yesterday having booked several weeks in advance as we had arranged a family holiday in the local area - we were looking forward to enjoying Sunday lunch together. We were seated promptly - my chair felt extremely wobbly and literally on its last legs! I requested to change it and on handing it over to a member of staff, it fell apart! For 14.30 hrs on a lunchtime service, what ensued from the perspective of whoever is in charge of food procurement was unbelievable… I ordered paté however they’d run out of bread to serve it with and crackers were offered as an alternative, I declined. My nephews were really looking forward to the cheesy garlic bread…. again, they had run out! My son ordered the burger but… yes, you guessed it! ‘We’ve run out’ !!! We were moments away from getting up and exiting stage left at this point! Everyone enjoyed their main meal, I was hacked off at having to hack through the roast beef with a butter knife and gave up. I felt sorry for our waitress - none of the above was her fault - the round of complimentary drinks was a nice gesture. This said, I don’t think any of our party will be rushing back any time soon!

Late lunch but staff were very accommodating - lovely atmosphere

This pub is at the headquarters of Joules located allongside the brewery, as such the beer is excellent, we had a great meal, all 4 of us having different dishes and they were all super. I believe there are bookable brewery tours as well.

Ordered standard pub food which it was not great but edible waited 30 minutes for the food which was exactly what we were told when ordering, usual good beer from this local brewery

Wether your passing through market drayton or a local resident you can rely on a warm welcome here. Dogs welcome outside and front bar area. Serve food 7 days a week from 12 midday Modern traditional food with a twist, tapas and local made desserts. Sunday lunch served but gets busy so most people book. It's the brewery tap so obviously there's a great choice of beers made on site. Table service is available Great for parties or family get togethers in the restaurant area .

Love this place and visit every time we're in the area. Not tried the food, but great choice of drinks and great atmosphere.

Well presented tasty food, live music on so Sunday roast not available.

Lovely country pub... good seke tion of drinks, great value for money

Great beers and nice food. I had roast pork from the Sunday lunch menu. It was very nice. Only thing they could have improved would be to give more gravy as there wasn't enough. But the gravy was very good as well.

Stopped here for a drink and it was a nice pub with a very comfortable beer garden to sit and enjoy the sunshine.

The food was very good, but a bit expensive.

Great place if you love real ales

Went for a drink tonight so my daughter who as not long turned 18 could officially by me a pint , bloody lovely as well

Had the Thai beef curry which was excellent.

Had a drink here one Saturday afternoon the staff were nice and the pub it's self was fascinating with its old beams and stain glass windows. Would come again and have food next time

Very nice place to have a drink and a bite to eat

Nice pub, good beer as the brewery is next door! Can get busy and a bit full of kids sometimes.

Came for a Saturday night evening meal with family. I had a pie which was very tasty although it came with spiced red cabbage which was a little weird! A little bit over salted. Others had chicken burgers which were dry and disappointing, came with a mountain of chips and no salad. Delicious authentic ale as expected. The pub was dead and service down at the far end where we sat was lacking, they left us for ages before taking our order and getting the bill, we ended up walking up to the bar to pay.

Great atmosphere with their very own brewery joined on across the road. Excellent food and range of drinks with good service to boot. Also good for some historical significance.

Lovely pub staff was fantastic ☺😍

It's the brewery tap for Joules brewery. What's not to like?

Our cycling group visit The Red Lion each year, starting from Chester. We arrived in 2 groups and service was quick and very friendly. I had the Massaman Curry which was really good. One of my friends had the BBQ pulled pork and was pleasantly surprised at the size of the portion. The rest of the group also were very complimentary about their lunch. We will definitely return next year.

Brilliant brewery tap serving a good selection of real ale.

Great pub at Joules Brewery. Extensive outdoor terrace. Good range of beers and lagers at very decent prices.

Friendly staff, good pints and excellent food (a bit more expensive but worth it for the quality). Recommend

The exterior of this place doesn't do justice to the lovely inside. The beer is also as good as you'd expect from a brewery tap, topped off with great food. It's also dog friendly and is a favourite for us to visit on sunny afternoons with Morgan. If you like a good pint then don't drive by.

Delicious food and nice surroundings. Decent beer straight from the brewery next door!

Very welcoming and friendly, Exelent beers

Staff and service excellent, food really good, and portion huge. Fantastic place to taste chemical free ale, has its own brewery beside it and do tours.

We booked a table here because of the recommendations on here, however the food was disappointing. It is dog friendly which is great. There was a reduced menu as it was bank holiday which was fine as there were quite a few choices. We ordered a roast beef roll which came with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and gravy, and a pork and applesauce roll which came with the same accompaniments. The brioche rolls were burnt, the beef was tough with way too much horseradish and the pork was very fatty. The gravy was delicious though. We didn’t stay for desert. The pub has plenty of tables inside and out, and the staff were friendly.

Excellent beer and food. Great atmosphere. Lovely staff and service. 10/10 as always!!
