A birthday gift voucher bought us to this pub come restaurant, knew it would be a good venue as the person who gave it only eats in good places. Were we disappointed? Not at all. Bar area, clean and well presented, Service was very good at the bar, show to out table and menus given. Staff very polite and efficient. Orders placed, food arrived within 15 minutes. Nicely presented and plentiful on all courses. Not much more to add other than a well worthy place for a meal or just a drink. Well done The Shrewsbury Arms, see you again soon.

Awesome meal. 6 of us eating & not one complaint. We had the steaks & the chicken followed by desserts. Service was brilliant. We dined in the beer garden, which is lovely,. We'd highly recommend you trying the Shrewsbury Arms at Kingstone. A brilliant example of what good tenants can do for a community owned pub.

The food was excellent. I had the steak, ale mushroom pie which was packed to the top. The wife had the seabass, which had plenty of sauce. Very busy restaurant with a little too much noise, but not annoyingly so. We had a large largest party and couldn't really converse with a lot of them. But heyho, the evening was very enjoyable. Certainly be going back.

Our weekly haunt for our Friday night out . Dog friendly bar with a restaurant for those who prefer to leave their dog at home. Great food, friendly and very accommodating staff. Specials board with a different selection of starters -mains - desserts added every visit. Love this pub for its delicious food, dog friendly area and welcoming staff. Always Deliver great food and a warm welcome. Good selection of real ales and larger . Wednesday evenings pie night special is a must. You won’t find a better home made pie . We’ve tried and these guys deliver the best pies we’ve had. Please ignore this great review because honestly we want to keep this brilliant pub to ourselves. Probably the best pub grub you’ll find in Staffordshire.

Had the day off from golf and took the wife out for a spot of lunch. Went on Google maps to look for a good rated pub, and found The Shrewsbury Arms. Booked a table and headed over. Walked into a beautiful little village pub and the staff were very attentive. Sat us down with a drink and ordered. Food was amazing staff were great definitely returning for an evening meal in the week next time.

This popular, community-owned pub and restaurant, served up two very tasty dishes to us this evening: sea bass for one and mushroom stroganoff for the other. Dessert was a delicious bread and butter pudding. The restaurant is light and roomy and the service is friendly and attentive. Prices were reasonable too. Highly recommended.

Service was good and nice atmosphere. Food needs a bit of improvement. Our food took ages to come and it’s just average pub food - not worthy of the prices they charge imo. Starters are all over £7. I had the pie which was £16 and mediocre. Our friend had the £30 steak and said he wished we had booked the uttoxeter steakhouse instead. Pub had a good atmosphere and definitely a nice place for a drink in the evening.

We went there for lunch and because we were going to have a main meal in the evening we asked for a large portion of gambas piri piri. The prawns were delicious well cooked but not rubbery. The piri piri sauce was spicy but not overly so. In all a fantastic meal with their usual excellent service.

Had an amazing first visit for lunch here!! As soon as we walked in we had a very warm welcome and was asked if we wanted to sit in the restaurant or the bar, which was really nice to make the decision ourselves. We sat at a lovely table in the bar by the open fire and opted to share a whole chicken, which was amazing and so tender. There were lots of sides to choose from to have with the chicken and the sauces we choose were homemade and also amazing!! The staff were so friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. We can’t wait to go back!!

I will caveat this by saying that I did not go to The Shrewsbury Arms, my experience is purely attempting to reserve a table. I do however think this is useful as judging from the reviews here, I did not expect the experience I received. I would like to give some benefit of doubt that the lady on the other end of the phone was perhaps having a bad day, but I have never been so confused by an attempt to book in a table. You would have thought I was kicking the ladies cat rather than attempting to enquire about a table in the bar based on her reaction. It is more than acceptable to not have space, it is a quick polite phone call to say sorry we can't accommodate you. I worked in hospitality for over 5 years myself and understand the pressure and patience involved. Train your staff better, or if you own the place, I would suggest this is not the business for you.

We booked the Shrewsbury Arms on spec for a friends catch up, as it was central for our group to travel to. It was very welcoming and comfortable. The restaurant was busy, (and it was mid-week). There was a little wait for food as everything is freshly prepared. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the food was excellent. Portion size is good, which unfortunately meant I couldn’t manage a pudding! We will definitely be going back.

This was our first ever visit after found this pub on Tripadvisor despite it only being 15 mins dive from us. When we arrived, the first thing I noticed was how busy it was and how young all of the staff were. These young people were ALL exemplary and could teach many of their seniors a thing or two about service. They were all lovely without gushing. We were particularly impressed by David who was relatively new but doing a sterling job. We had five courses between us. Of all five courses I could only make a minor criticism of the way that the squid had been cooked even though it was ok. Everything else was really excellent. The cherry on this cake is the deserts which are all made on the premises; none of the pub standard freezer to microwave rubbish! They had three real ales on tap which all seemed to be kept well. We will be back!

Out first visit to this delightful village pub. On arrival the bar and restaurant was very busy.We received a warm welcome from staff who are all lovely and friendly. Decor and ambience nice and inviting. We we served drinks immediately and yes there was a 40 minute wait for our Roast beef dinners but well worth it as the food was excellent. Roasted root veg and gravy was perfect just the beef a little too pink for our liking but still very tasty. Good size portions so unfortunately had no room for the desserts which also looked amazing. The staff are all very attentive and nothing was too much trouble and that always goes a long way in customer service these days. Lovely seating areas both front and back of pub. The shrew is our new best pub to go and will be back very soon.

Absolutely outstanding food and brilliant value for money! I visited with my partner last week, we were staying locally in Lower Loxley whilst visiting alton towers. Service was brilliant and staff very kindly provided some recommendations which went down a treat! We later found out that the pub has been recently taken over by locals, who should all be extremely proud of what they have come together to produce. I think I'd travel the 3hr journey from home just to eat here again! Would highly recommend the Camembert starter 👌🏼

Only 11 miles from where we live we had never heard of Kingstone but my wife decided to book an early evening meal here based on the pub being in the Good Beer Guide. Initial thoughts on entering were that the pub was friendly with a comfortable feel about it and friendly staff and customers. I’m going to have to split my review into three. Firstly the beer - I had a porter from the Uttoxeter Brewery and a blond from Dancing Duck in Derby. Both well kept and excellent. Secondly the food - my starter was salt and pepper squid with a chilli sauce dip. Crispy and delicious. My main a smoked haddock risotto with broccoli. Now my wife is a vegetarian so I’m not allowed stinky fish in the house so I will always pick it in a restaurant. This was absolutely gorgeous and topped with a perfectly poached egg which when cut through dripped yolk down into the rice. Food porn at its best. Thirdly the staff - all young ladies serving in a very busy environment but so beautiful, friendly, efficient and kind. Where do all these lovely girls come from? I may have to move to Kingstone (just don’t tell the wife).

Nice place, Good service. Let down by a bit by the food, The chicken was fine but the pork hock was not full of flavour and was served in a pool of gravy which spoiled the taste of the mustard mash and buttered cabbage. I suggest it would be improved by using ham hock and giving the option of separate grvy
