Lovely country pub situated in the Shropshire village of Alverley. Was recommended to check out the Sunday lunch by a friend and The Squirrel didn't disappoint. Great value for money, big portions and generally nice food. Recommended.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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!

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.

The restaurant area is decorated to suite the old building, just lovely. Staff were very polite and helpful, along with a good selection of beers what else could you ask for. We will soon be returning for a Christmas meal....can't wait!
