The Squirrel in Shropshire

We booked a skittles night with food for 26 October 2024 @ an agree price of £12.50 per head. Unfortunately, I could not attend due to a cancer diagnosis, so telephoned the Squirrel to confirm the arrangements before handing over the organisation to a friend. I spoke to Kirsty on 10 August 2024 who confirmed all the arrangements AND THE PRICE @ £12.50 per head. I was disgusted to hear afterwards that in my absence, the pub had taken the opportunity to increase the price to £13.50 per head without even a phone call to discuss it. This left us £20 out of pocket. I have tried to telephone twice and had to leave a message on the answering machine. To date, I have not even had the courtesy of a reply. I would be very wary about booking this pub for a function if this is the way they treat their customers!

firstly there was only one draught bitter, not good for a beer drinker, then the only tonic was fever tree which is more expensive than the gin !!!! and then no lemon to go with the G&T. I went with 24 people to play skittles [pre booked] and a dog had been in and sh++ every where, some one came and spread it around with toilet paper and eventually mopped the area, Though it still smelt pretty bad. not a place I would go to again

Rang an hour before we went asked for table for 13 and they managed to seat us we all had Sunday lunch which was lovely and staff were very friendly

Love it here, we take the caravan for weekends away, everyone is friendly, cobs are amazing as is the food and the landlord!

Nice pub, excellent burger from the BBQ.

Fabulous staff, great service and so welcoming, would come back without question

popped in on way home from a ride out, had cobs, scotch egg and sausage roll, all were delicious especially the scotch egg with black pudding. Sat in garden so two year old could play, grass was very boggy, could do with having some drainage in

No room for pudding. Lunch plate was loaded . Couldn't have made room for a desert.

Lovely Sunday lunch and afternoon of playing skittles

Fantastic country pub. Went for one of their monthly curry nights. I've never had a pub curry that tastes so authentic . Absolutely great foodservice and beer. Would highly recommend 👌

Our u3a ukulele group (minus our ukes) went out for a social event of skittles which included basket meals. There were 32 of us, and we planned to eat at 6;30pm before the game of skittles. We had a really good selection of choice, and the meals came out on time and were hot and tasty . The ladies who were preparing and serving the meals were rushed off their feet, and we didn't make it any easier for them by asking for knives and forks and then finding out they were all set out on the tables anyway. I would really recommend The Squirrel pub for great food, good ambience, friendly service, and a game of skittles.

A lovely pub! Very welcoming, the first time we have been there was today, we will definitely be back, only had drinks but the Sunday lunch looked amazing! Great pub, very sensible prices 10/10

Called in for one of Als lamb and mint pies with supreme mash and peas. Excellent food well presented with a friendly atmosphere all washed down with a nice pint. Will return soon.

Friendly staff and landlord good beer fair price Thanks to all Felt very welcome

Just had huge Sunday lunch, extremely well cooked, quality ingredients, good price, very nice customer service and chill atmosphere, clean and inviting, absolutely recommended, thanks for treating us that well, back again soon with the rest of the family 😊

We had a family get together and hired the function room to play skittles. Staff amazingly served the 35 hot meals really quickly and everyone enjoyed their meals. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

We booked the skittle alley for a family get together. A fabulous night, fun, good food and lots of catching up done. Highly recommended 👌

We had the best Sunday lunch ever yesterday. So much that we just couldn’t manage to finish it. Everything was cooked perfectly. We had the turkey, which was thickly carved and perfectly cooked, sprouts, peas, cauliflower, carrots, roast potatoes, boiled potatoes stuffing ball and gravy. There was soo much that we had to have a doggy bag, all this for just over £10 per head. we will certainly be returning. The staff are really friendly too.

We would highly recommend you go to eat here - they have menu deals throughout the week. We had great valve 2 for 1 steaks on a Saturday evening, nice treat. The staff were really friendly and we had a very enjoyable evening.

Had a loverly evening playing skittles with friends an exceptional buffet was provided enough to feed an army staff very friendly ,ale was pulled correctly and head stayed all the way down the glass good prices and if the weather is kind a nice seating area outside,

A very good clean establishment if your in the area. I can't comment on food. A boozer that isn't in the heart of a village that's full of folks before 12.30 speaks for itself.

Called in Friday evening as we were passing. To be told they were not serving food. Funny day to close the kitchen. Went to the Royal Oak instead

Popped in for a drink on way home, lovely old type pub with great staff.. food smelt delicious.. must go back to try it

Very nice, went for beer, cobs were amazing

No hot food available only rolls but they were good

Food basic , but a friendly welcome.

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat and drink after being diverted away from the M6 by our sat nav. We were made to feel extremely welcome by the landlord and chirpy regulars of the pub. They fired up their bbq as and when orders came in for a burger or hotdog. Very easy going and welcoming. Glad we stopped in - just need to work out how to find it again without the sat nav's offer to divert!

After visiting national trust site popped in for a bite to eat. Sunday roast was lovely and was great sitting out in the sun. Only picked the place as loved the name because reminded me of late mother in law as run over a squirrel. Will definitely come back again.

We had a great night recently playing skittles real good fun. We had attended as part of a group from a local car club. The food was a very generous helping for the price. The one draw back for me was the food came on cold plates, which unfortunately cools the food too quickly and leads to being served tepid food. Get the plate temperature correct and I would give it 5 stars.

Great food, great staff and a fun-filled evening in the skittle alley with our car club. Thoroughly recommend!

Had a beer and Skittles evening here, with 40 from our local car club attending. Really easy to book, easy to order the food, and the night was excellent. Would certainly recommend, Alan and his staff were very friendly and efficient.

Always friendly and accommodating. Food is lovely and value for money

Nice place if a little quiet for the festive season. Will return though, for a quiet drink by the fire or in the summer when the sun is out

Had a Sunday Lunch with the family, delicious meals, huge portions and mouthwatering puds!

Had a lovely meal here after a day out, staff are really friendly and the food was yummy. Will be going back very soon.

Always call in at the Squirrel when I'm in that neck of the wood. Usually summer, great beer garden. Really nice Sunday roast, good beer, friendly, helpful and efficient staff. Would have given five stars but the table was sticky, needed a wipe without asking.

Our daughters wedding reception was held here. Alan and his staff did her proud . We had a wonderful roast with fresh veg . I will be booking for a meal. Thank you to all at the squirrel

The staff and food are really nice and the staff is very friendly too

We visit quite often. This is our favourite place when we go to Ludlow. ZERON and HELEN really great staff.

Absolutely brilliant. Felt at home, and was looked after all the time. Thank you !!!!

Would like to thank Alan and Lianne for hosting my daughters 7th party. Nothing was too much! So attentive. Even outside to take my bouncy castle in! Would also like to thank tab, Kirsty, laura and Graham. You’ve been amazing.

Lovely pub good beer friendly staff

Nice campsite sadly the pub wasn't doing food on the evening we stayed It won't stop us coming back xx

The pub is a lovely building. Very cool inside on a hot day. It also has a car park and beer garden with a children's play area so family friendly.

Dropped in here after dudmaston visit. Friendly staff decent beer and either cooked meal or cobs on offer. Playground for kids to enjoy outside .

Went to a wedding here. Drink prices seemed good and it's local would make a nice place to have a trip out to on a warm summers evening

A very nice place, came for a meeting, will come back to eat.

Traditional Pub some food available

Denise behind the bar is fantastic, she knows how to deal with customers, she's cute and funny.

Excellent caravan site and a great pub.

Lovely one night stay with 5 camper vans lovely homely pub all staff are great

Excellent as always . Friendly staff and warm welcome

I stopped by here as I had burst my tyre on a pothole not far from the establishment, the owner was so helpful and kind. He managed to get a local tyre shop out to change my tyre and I was able to continue my journey back to London which would not of been possible if it were not for this man. He told me to go inside and get a hot drink & a snack whilst I waited, there was a lovely warm fire and friendly people inside. Please do make sure to visit if you are in the local area and buy the owner a drink from me :) Thank you owner of The Squirrel you are a Hero :)

Fantastic food, great portion sizes. Friendly staff and locals. Fully recommend a visit

An excellent place for home cooked food and a smile.

Amazing pie! Super portions I think I'm sti full a day later :) Everyone was really friendly!

stopped at tbe squirrel after going for a walk , friendly staff , enjoyed our drink, didnt have food but it looked delicious!

We were having a camping break in Alverley and visited the squirrel because they had a pool table. The staff were really friendly and so were the locals, they made us feel really welcome. Thank you

Nice pub,very friendly staff, good selection of beers.

Lovely basket meals well worth it

Not great expensive drinks left as not nice. Looked nice from outside I wouldn't bother !

Nice beer garden but staff could a bit friendly a smile cost's nothing.

Nice pub very friendly great location

Not friendly at all, bad customer service, felt very unwelcome.

Visited the Squirrel pub for the first time today. Had a fantastic Sunday lunch. Bar staff very friendly and allowed our little dog in out of the hot sun. Will definitely visit again.

Very nice place and friendly staff

The pub itself is lovely, friendly barstaff and the food oh ,and there Sunday dinner is to die fore recommend to everyone. Thanks Alan and wife xxxx

We stayed at the campsite on the back of the pub, had the best Fish and Chips, Clean well maintained and friendly staff.

Excellent Sunday roast,friendly and helpful staff I would highly recommend going

considering the absurd Covid regs, the drinking 'outside only 'was expertly adhered to by a young lady who was glad to be 'doing something ' Made a pleasant change, nice and clean and well decorated. May The Good Times return ! We have waited long enough and we'll done Mr Squirrel !

We have been enjoying the Squirrel’s Sunday roasts by take out, but decided to try their other menu on a Saturday evening. We placed our order, which was readily acknowledged. We arrived at the booked time to collect our food and were greeted well as always. The food was well packaged. We thoroughly enjoyed the food which was of a generous portion. We had the Squirrel burger, Vegetarian burger and beef stack burger. We would definitely order the meals again.

Good beer, great staff and food to die for

Delicious food. Lovely atmosphere.

Just had our Sunday dinner absolutely great all in place for Covid can’t fault the staff or the place Thankyou

Stayed here on the caravan site for one night, basic facilities and EHU,no food served in pub but good beer Doom Bar!

Great food , great beer and so glad to have this as our local. Always worth a visit defiantly recommend and the chicken burger is lovely

People vaping indoors can't be safe

While travelling we stopped here for a Sunday Roast the portions were good, well prepared with fresh vegetables and friendly place 5 stars.

Decent pint of HPA. Plenty of space in the garden.

Went out for a drink with friends whilst socially distancing. The pub is following the correct procedures. Sanitizing your hands at the entrance. 10/10. Fantastic customer service.

Have not been for a long time, but we had a wonderful day, good service, good beer and big ham rolls, will be going again soon.

Lovely pub , friendly people and a great pint

Popped into The Squirrel pub in Alveley for a “quick pint” on the way home from a day out. What a pleasant surprise! This traditional, country pub has a welcoming open fire which not only adds to the charm of the place but compliments the welcome by the licensee Alan. Even though it was the first time my mate and I had visited the pub Alan and the “locals” made us feel instantly at home. The selection of cobs on offer were too great to resist and at £2.00 I don’t think I have seen better value anywhere! There is also a good menu if you wanted something more substantial. As an aside this place has a cracking room at the rear which houses a pool table and skittles, ideal for a group night out. It means driving to get to this pub but now that I have discovered its hidden charms I shall be visiting again very soon!

A good night skittles 🎳 and food

Absolutely fantastic lovely food,will be eating there again soon!!x

Good food. Warm surroundings. Typical English pub. Dogs welcome, Rugby playing. Cant go wrong really. :)

Lovely staff. Nice and clean. Tasty food.

Great pub, amazing food at reasonable prices. Camping out back which is cheap and reliable. Near to local shops and a short drive away from Bridgenorth.

Omg best Sunday lunch in a very long time, loaded meat veg cooked perfectly and lots of potatoes. Gravy yummy and staff lovely and friendly. Will defo come again

Traditional pub with typical pub menu. I hope you're hungry if you're thinking of eating here because the meals my wife and I had were enough to feed two people each!

A good choice of ales, friendly and welcoming

Refreshing change! Lovely place and food very good😊

Felt uneasy, not a very welcoming pub, also wouldn't open pool room for us. whats the point having one if people cant play!?

Quiet midweek lunch, hardly anyone there. A couple of local bitters, plus a couple of unnamed pumps. Burgers were cheap and thin, the sort of stuff you’d get from a van at a fair! Not really acceptable when there are so many proper ones available. Service was adequate rather than friendly or sparkly. Fine for a quick pint and watch the sport on one of the many TVs, just eat somewhere else. I wouldn’t return and can’t recommend it.

Had a great night at the skittle alley at the squirrel with friends for hubby's 65th birthday. Room, meal, staff were fantastic

Great food great service, very freindly.

1st visit will definitely go back excellent food and service. Highly recommended lovely home good food and plenty of it

Excellent food! Very helpful staff.
