The Walrus Restaurant in Shropshire

An absolute treat from start to finish. On arrival into the bar area you know you're somewhere a cut above anything else we've experienced in shrewsbury. Lovely setting and beautifully decorated. We had the tasting menu and wine flight; all courses were superbly cooked and presented. All four members of staff that served us were polite, friendly and positive. A really good team and their passion made the experience all the more enjoyable. Courses came out quickly with no waiting throughout the sitting, we couldn't have asked for more. We visited for a birthday celebration and will certainly be returning (the music in the background was right up our street as well and just added to the ambience). Very lucky to have this on our doorstep in shrewsbury!

First time that we have dined here and it definitely won't be the last. Beautiful food - tasty, locally sourced and well presented. And the bread is amazing! Friendly, knowledgable front of house. Highly recommended.

Not many places in Shrewsbury offer a taster menu, but @thewalrusrestaurant has built a reputation for its culinary creativity in recent years. With a chic bar area for cocktails and an intimate restaurant space, diners are treated to a cozy atmosphere, with some tables overlooking the river. ⭐️4.5/5 Recommended👍🏻 Price 💸💸/💸 The meal began with delightful amuse-bouches designed to tantalize our taste buds. The light crispy pastry encasing smoky, soft beef tartare was a standout! Bold, flavourful, and utterly captivating. It certainly set the tone for the feast ahead. Next came the pumpkin bread with a pillowy-soft center beneath a perfectly baked crust served with miso-infused butter. **Starters** Porcetta: The first starter featured thinly sliced herbed Porcetta, capers, and a hint of citrus, combining to create a refreshing and harmonious dish. This dish divided opinion with one of us raving about the flavour combinations and the other left unsure. Mushroom: The second starter showcased the earthy taste delightful texture of mushrooms and potato in a rich, indulgent sauce. The exquisite morels added depth and elegance to this satisfying course. **Mains** Sole: The first main course was a medley of bold flavors and textures. Grilled lemon sole, English asparagus cooked to perfection paired beautifully with brown shrimp and the crunch of toasted hazelnuts. The hollandaise sauce provided richness, but a lemony curd like accompaniment felt unnecessary and the whole dish slightly over-salted for our taste. Dry Aged Duck: The second main brought duck served two ways complemented by tamarillo. Tamarillo, something you don’t often see and reminiscent of sweet peach plus butternut squash, parsnip, beetroot, and carrot slivers. While the duck had the desired layer of fat this could have benefited from more rendering, the flavours however were intriguing and enjoyable. **Desserts** Rhubarb & Custard: For those less inclined towards sweet deserts, this offered a perfect balance: vibrant orange cream, fresh tart rhubarb pieces, rhubarb sorbet, and meringue tiles. Carrot & white chocolate: Delicious!

What a lovely little gem we have found! Service was outstanding, the staff were all friendly and very knowledgeable, my partners allergies were catered for without fuss. So very impress before we even talk about the amazing food. We can the three course menu and wasn’t disappointed. Possibly the best food I’ve ever had. The honey cake was so nice, I almost cried. The cocktails and drinks were on point, my rum infused old fashioned was delicious. It wasn’t just the food, the expertise was fabulous.

Our taxi dropped us on the riverside but the entrance is on the other side just a ls a pointer for others. This place has come on since we visited the earlier much smaller venue. Excellent restaurant area which has a quality feel and they are certainly holding their own on the food. We came with our 2 daughters on a Saturday for the tasting menu. We had a great table looking over the river. Service by the young staff was efficient and friendly. Our daughters loved the Japanese milk bread as everyone seems to mention.. all the courses were lovely with favorites being the Mushrooms and also the sole. Slightly disappointed on the duck but that is being very critical.. overall very happy with the experience.

The tasting menu was superb, and the dry-aged duck was sublime. If you want an exquisite fine dining experience then you are in for a treat.

Highly recommended! A fantastic experience from start to finish. We were treated to a 7 course tasting menu and were very pleased with every course. From the Japanese milk bread to the aged duck and then the rhubarb dessert - our tastebuds were delighted at every turn. A lovely evening of indulgence ! Thank you team Walrus -:)

We booked the taster menu on Saturday evening. Mr J Gill From arriving we were approached by a very friendly polite gentleman and all staff were happy and professional All waitresses and waiters were amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed every course and tried things we had never tried before and loved! We are so impressed we will be booking to go again very soon. We definitely recommend ordering the wine flight with the meal. This really enhanced and complimented every course. Thank you The Walrus! What an experience.

Brilliant chill place to have an amazing meal

What an amazing experience trying the tasting menu. The restaurant was very good about my food allergy and changed one dish to make it suitable. The flavours of each dish were perfectly balanced with the seasonal ingredients. We particularly enjoyed the lamb dish and the rhubarb desert was perfectly light and refreshing before the decadent chocolate and peanut desert. Staff were very attentive and explained each dish as it was presented. Looking forward to going again in the near future.

Amazing evening of food and drink. Every course was beautifully presented and served with fantastic knowledge from the front of house team. Super wine and a delicious port complimented the food so well. The evening flew by but never felt rushed, a wonderful evening in every way. Lovely to be in a busy bubbly restaurant with such a warm welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend the Walrus dinning experience. Thank you and a special thanks to Ben & Callum.

Was a great experience and catered for me and my family

We had a very good meal here. Ordered the 3 courses from the a la carte menu. These were all good but it is the little morsels served before, during and after the meal that make this such a pleasant experience.

Great experience all round, would highly recommend!

Amazing food and fantastic staff - we had the taster menu with wine flight and it was incredible. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic restaurant! 5*s to Food, Service and atmosphere! Went for 10 year anniversary and was very impressed. For what you get it is fantastic value! Could not fault it!

Fantastic meal and great service, Love this restaurant

The Walrus is a great find and not to be missed if visiting Shrewsbury. I have never been disappointed and take friends there regularly I have given 5 stars in all categories and wonder how long it will take Michelin also to award a star.

Great experience, good cocktails! Will definitely come back.

Me and my partner came for the special fish platter in the bar area. We had preordered this and had been very excited since booking. We were not disappointed! With a friendly bar staff and a lovely quiet atmosphere, perfect for a couples meal, the service was wonderful and engaging. The food was the best seafood we have ever! Everything was cooked to perfection and everything was clearly very fresh. Along with the beautiful cocktails, this was a wonderful night!

Beautiful restaurant and lovely decor, me and my partner had some signature cocktails before our meal which were fantastic! We chose the tasting menu and every course was delicious. Great service, friendly staff and very knowledgeable of each dish and its components. A very satisfying and complete dining experience. Thank you!

I've visited this place for the second time with my partner and it still didn't disappoint everything was amazing especially the food, definitely will be coming back!!

I am begrudging with my ratings, but the menu I had at The Walrus rated all five stars - a very skilled and inspired combination of flavours and textures, beautifully presented. Everything you want from a tasting menu - creativity, changes in mood, and a few experiments. And the service was exquisite, super polite, knowledgeable and heartful.

I visited The Walrus with a group for New Year’s Eve to try the New Year’s Bar Tasting Menu. The tasting menu was 5 delicious courses. The highlights for me were the roast duck with fries and the dark chocolate & Baileys dessert. I also loved the Festive Fizz cocktail – it tasted exactly how Christmas should taste! Although it was a set menu, a couple of the courses were altered to accommodate the dietary requirements of our group. We had fabulous time at The Walrus, as always, and are looking forward to returning in 2025.

For New Year's Eve, we decided to visit The Walrus restaurant in Shrewsbury, hoping for an unforgettable celebration. The Michelin Guide and high ratings made us choose this place. I was in a great mood and anticipated an exceptional evening. However, from the very beginning, things went wrong. When we entered the restaurant, no one greeted us. We waited for a while, but the staff continued to ignore us. Eventually, we decided to go upstairs. There, one of the waiters met us and suggested sitting at the bar to have a cocktail until someone became available to take us to our table. This upset me because I was wearing a long evening gown, and sitting at the high bar counter was quite uncomfortable. However, not wanting to spoil my mood, I decided to look at the menu and choose a cocktail. But as soon as I made my choice, the waiter suddenly appeared and silently escorted us to our table. The restaurant's atmosphere also disappointed me. The lighting was too bright, making the setting feel cold and lacking coziness. The interior looked simple and devoid of any aesthetics, which did not match my expectations of a Michelin Guide listed restaurant. My disappointment didn’t end there. The waiter spilled water on the table while pouring it and didn’t even bother to wipe it up. Furthermore, after our plates were cleared, the table remained dirty, and no one cleaned it for the rest of the evening. Additionally, when my napkin fell to the floor during the serving of dishes, the waitress noticed it but didn’t offer to replace it. Such a level of service in a Michelin guide listed restaurant is simply unacceptable. The dinner left only disappointment. As someone with extensive experience visiting restaurants, I can confidently say that The Walrus did not meet any expectations – not in service, food (the Japanese milk bread served with miso butter was the exception), nor in atmosphere.

The Walrus – an aptly named restaurant that promises grandeur, yet like its namesake, sometimes feels a little out of place in the fine dining world. Let’s start with the highlight of the evening: the homemade Japanese milk bread. This wasn’t even a “main” item on the menu, yet it stood out above everything else. Warm, fresh, and delightfully soft, it was beautifully contrasted by crunchy pumpkin seeds and complemented by the salty richness of the miso butter. A perfect bite, one that sets expectations high. Unfortunately, the accompanying starter—a raw beef and beer tart—fell flat. The flavours were muted, and the beef seemed oxidised, as if prepared well before service. It lacked the freshness and vibrancy one would expect at this level. Moving to the mains, the Winter Salad was well-prepared but uninspiring. The vegetables were cooked perfectly, yet the dish didn’t feel special or exciting—it lacked interplay to elevate it beyond the ordinary. The Brixham Crab dish was a disappointment. Served completely cold, the crab’s flavour was overpowering, and the balance was thrown off without enough acidity to counter it. Worse, I found bits of shell in the crab, which made the experience less enjoyable. The brown crab mousse had a gritty texture and an unappealing bitter note, and the cauliflower added little to the dish. This was not the strong introduction to the meat courses I had hoped for. The chicken course offered a reprieve. A thoughtful combination of textures and flavours, the chicken itself was perfectly cooked and paired nicely with the lovage and apricot. It was warm (not hot), and while it wasn’t groundbreaking, it was a well-executed dish. The venison, unfortunately, continued the trend of dishes arriving cold. While the walnut pairing worked well and the meat was cooked properly, the dish lacked the character and intrigue one expects from a main protein in a high-end tasting menu. It felt like a missed opportunity to deliver something memorable. Desserts were a step up from the mains (though still not on par with the milk bread). The Green Apple and Marigold dish was refreshing, with a clean and vibrant marigold sorbet that—unsurprisingly—was cold (but this time appropriately so!). The flavours paired nicely, leaving a light and satisfying finish. The final dessert of Chocolate and Mandarin was a highlight. When all the components were combined, they created a delightful explosion of flavour—rich, balanced, and  enjoyable. The Walrus promises excellence with its Michelin Guide recognition, stellar reputation, and premium price tag, but it fell short in delivering a truly memorable dining experience. While there were moments of brilliance, like the delightful milk bread and a well-executed desserts, much of the meal was let down by a lack of hot food, which gave the impression that some dishes were not freshly prepared. This recurring issue, coupled with underwhelming flavour combinations and a lack of creativity in certain courses, left me questioning whether my expectations were too high—or whether The Walrus simply failed to meet the high bar it sets for itself.

We had an amazing 5 course tasting menu at the bar for New Years Eve. Every course was excellent, and the festive cocktails we had were lovely. They also catered well for our dietary requirements.

Amazing from start to finish. We used a voucher for the tasting menu that we’d been given as a wedding gift having never been before and were blown away. The service is great, not too overbearing but informative and attentive. The food was 10 out of 10, every single course! The bread…out of this world. So good we had to take a loaf home! Highly recommend. We can’t wait to come back again. Thanks all!

We've had so many wonderful meals at this amazing restaurant and I've been surprised and delighted every time. I'm very grateful to Ben and Carla for bringing such creative and successful combinations of beautiful flavours to Shrewsbury. Not only is the food of the highest standard I've experienced, the staff strike the perfect balance of welcoming and professional. Thank you so much!

Superb from start to finish. I ordered the tasting menu - every dish was excellent and just as memorable as the last. The Japanese milk bread is beautifully soft and delicious. The the little extra bites that arrive between some courses are a lovely bonus too. Excellent warm service. Would absolutely come again and wouldn't be surprised if this place was awarded a star very soon.

Just returned from my first experience at this wonderful Shrewsbury restaurant to celebrate my 50th wedding anniversary. Truthfully the whole experience was second to none. We had the tasting menue and it was amazing. Not only that the staff were exemplary. Efficient and friendly. Nothing too much trouble. We 100% will be returning so a huge thank you Walrus, we will be back 🥳

Would have five stars but Japanese milk Bread was horrible. Duck undercooked for many people.

Amazing experience yesterday trying the tasting menu. Every single dish was amazing and the service outstanding. Delicious wine paired with each dish too. Would highly recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyable evening. How wonderful to take time over a meal with friends, and having the tasting menu meant we could do exactly that. We all loved the Japanese milk bread ! I’d heard about it on the Bake off, wonderful texture. Well done chef. Excellent service & great value.

We chose to celebrate our 49th wedding anniversary here and ordered the Tasting Menu. Service, welcome, ambience were all excellent,genuine and friendly. Lots of smiles! The food was fabulous and although we didn’t drink wine, the offering was first class. We are planning another visit in the next few months. These people know their stuff. I’m recommending to all our foody friends. Thanks guys.

One of our favourite restaurants.. delicious fine dining food every time

We had an excellent meal and experience here! The Japanese milk bread was a little disappointing and didn’t live up to its name, but the rest of the dishes were great. The combination of flavours were well-thought out and balanced, and the portion sizes were small but overall fairly reasonable. My favourite was the hogget, which was incredibly tender! The pea dish was great too!

We ate here on the strength of their (absolutely delicious) margaritas and so glad we did! Every mouthful was a delight. The staff are lovely. The wine was excellent. I would come back to Shrewsbury just to eat here

The fine dining experience done well. 5* service and hospitality. Delicious cocktails at the bar before we were led to our table. Very chilled atmosphere and decor, spotless. We had the 3 course meal; each dish a splendid explosion of well balanced delicate flavours. A reasonable price and I would say worth every penny. A luxurious treat!

As it was a Friday we had the tasting menu which was divine. We couldn't fault the food or the professional service from an amazing team who seem rightly proud of what they deliver.

We had been meaning to visit this local restaurant for a while, but hadn't gotten round to it. We were then given vouchers for Christmas to cover the tasting menu and matching flight, which was an absolute joy to receive and we booked to go end of Feb 24 as it was a birthday occasion. On entry, up the stairs is a lovely cocktail lounge, where we had a pre-dinner drink ahead of going to our table. You can go in to the cocktail lounge even if you're not eating there and we will definitely be back to do this. Cocktails were well mixed with a good selection to chose from. We were taken to our table and could see it was pretty much fully booked, which is great to see in the current climate. The courses were presented beautifully and were all delicious. Beware, we did make the mistake of eating the whole of the milk loaf, which meant we were absolutely full to the brim by the time the final desert course was served, save some room. The waiting staff explained each course and the sommelier introduced the matching wines. All were very well paired and complimented the food very well. Was an excellent evening and would recommend. If I could pass on a couple of areas for improvement that would be that the restaurant did lack a little atmosphere and the waiting staff were on the scruffy side, with no clear uniform, which was a surprise given the caliber of the restaurant. However, this did not detract from the lovely food and wine. Thank you

Went for a family birthday meal on a Thursday evening so we could have the A La Carte menu excellent food and wine especially the extras inbertween courses but was let down by the dining area which was not very warm and the coffees which were also only look warm.

We went to The Walrus for the first time on Saturday night. We were met by a friendly and informative gentleman who pointed out the location of the toilets before taking us upstairs and showing us the bar. We opted to go straight to our table. On a Saturday night, they only serve the tasting menu so this was waiting on the table for us to review and identify any issues we might have with it - we were happy with it. We decided to begin with a tasty cocktail before dining and opted for the wine flight to accompany our meal. We were brought some unexpected amuse bouche first comprising two little bites of deliciousness each. This was followed by some amazing Japanese milk bread covered in sesame seeds and seaweed - it was super tasty and had a great spring back structure. It was accompanied by some deliciously rich butter. Our food arrived and, course after course, we were amazed and delighted by the tastes, textures and flavours. Such clever ideas and cookery. Each course was given a great descriptive introduction by the staff serving it. The wine was enthusiastically served to us by a brilliant sommelier, who was very knowledgeable and clearly loves her job. Also she was interested to engage with us and listen to our own experiences. Without exception, the waiting staff were all excellent and seemed to enjoy interacting with us. The ambience was laidback and relaxing - the music choices were an interesting mix of pop/rock tracks over the decades. The staff were attentive to the extent that, when my wife commented on the temperature in the room, they turned the heat down slightly and offered to move us to a table away from the heating vent if needed. The toilets were also indicative of an attention to detail with air diffusers, hand towels and a high level of cleanliness. This was an amazing and captivating first experience here and we will go back.

Could not fault anything about The Walrus...excellent food...great service...looking forward to out next visit...

Fabulous food. Really great experience. Will be going again soon

Absolutely amazing experience from beginning to end. Highly recommended!

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Second visit, first in new venue. Would definitely recommend and come back for a treat meal.

Excellent meal, as usual at the Walrus. Brilliant staff. Have been several times but when it was in its old location. This new venue is bigger and probably slightly less cozy , lighting is a bit too bright for a romantic dinner in my opinion but on the plus side I guess makes reading of menu easier. The bar area has lots of ambiance but eating area feels a little sterile. Wouldn’t put me off going again. Would highly recommend the tasting menu. I ran out of room so didnt eat my last deserts course and took petite fore home in a box provide by them. Great night.

Another fabulous lunch full of different (sometimes unexpected) flavours! Delicious!

What an excellent place, great food and welcoming helpful staff. We went from the father in laws birthday treat, and were not disappointed. We had the tester menu with the wine flight and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal & I told (I was driving) everything matched perfectly. Staff were brilliant and couldn't do enough for us. This was a definitely treat & well worth our trip over

Went to the Walrus yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Attentive and knowledgeable young staff and an outstanding tasting menu. A must not miss for anyone looking for a great atmosphere and a wonderful dining experience.

The whole experience was fantastic from the minute we walked in, we were asked did we want a drink at the bar first and there was a list of Walrus own cocktails to select from. We were then taken to our seats, asked how long did we want to leave things before 1st course. All the courses were wonderful and each one wa explained thoroughly with the excellent staff. The price was £65 for the 6 course taster menu and we also had what they call snacks but more like canopes to begin. So actually the value was pretty good plus the wine was not expensive, would definetly recommend for a nice treat

Wonderful evening, staff, food and ambience all first class. Thank you

We've eaten here several times and it's always a great experience. Amazing food and staff and service are exceptional. Best restaurant in Shrewsbury in our opinion.

Atmosphere here was lovely. The food was amazing and the staff made the night perfect! We would definitely visit here again and recommend to others.Thank you.

We had a Fantastic 6 course tasting menu on Saturday which also accommodated a pescatarian and a vegetarian. Service and cocktails were all amazing.

Staff are very welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. Food is excellent. Even if going in for a drink and food from the bar menu, service is great.

Xmas visit to the Walrus. Another wonderful evening, service and food were excellent. It’s very good value for food of this quality.

If you are in for a treat, I highly recommend paying the Walrus a visit. Ben, Carla and their attentive team treat their guests with excellent food, wine and great service. We had the 6 course tasting menu. Every course is a delicious little work of art. The atmosphere was great and I can also recommend the associated bar for some high quality cocktails.

An excellent place for fine dining as much as for great cocktails. The Walrus is a pretty stylish restaurant run by two young chefs with lots of dedication and passion for good food. I can highly recommend the 6 course tasting menu. Food and service were fabulous. We had a great evening and would love to visit again.

Delicious food, loved the tasting menu but the place was freezing cold which spoilt our celebrations, such a shame

We had a wonderful evening at the walrus restaurant and bar. I can totally recommend the tasting menu. It is a lovely place with delicious food and drinks, excellent service and a great atmosphere!

Frosty Reception We headed to The Walrus for a pre-birthday treat for my wife at the end of November and although we received a warm welcome from the staff, the place was absolutely freezing cold. Service was attentive but when my wife asked for her coat back, we were told that they would put the heating on. That never materialised. I asked for a coffee mid-way through the meal to warm me up which was duly added to the bill. Good food simply cannot be enjoyed in such an atmosphere, and it absolutely ruined our celebrations.

Food was nice. Staff were lovely and very attentive. However, it was cold. Cold cold! Uncomfortably cold. Despite moving tables and seats a few times it was just too unbearable and it ruined our evening. It took over the whole conversation at the table and it made the experience an uncomfortable one. Although they acknowledged there were issues with the heating I feel they shouldn't of opened until it wa rectified. I'd rather of been asked to come another day. It's an expensive place to be sat freezing for 3 hours.

Exactly what you would expect from a fine dining restaurant.

This is the second time we have paid Ben & Carla a visit and it just keeps getting better! The whole dining experience is second to none! Waiters and waitresses attentive, their knowledge of food and wine exceptional and the service they provide backs up the marvellous food and wine! ☺️ So a big thumbs up 👍🏻to everyone at The Walrus again! Keep it up! From your regulars, Phil & Oli.

Amazing food & lovely atmosphere. We had the 6 course taster menu, which I actually regretted by course 5 as I was completely stuffed! So much care obviously put into each dish and knowledgeable staff. Will definitely return.

The young staff were very welcoming, friendly and super informative about the food and wine. We had the six course tasting menu with the flight of wines and they were quite happy to accommodate our pescatarian preference. All the wines were lovely, generous amounts and perfectly matched to each delicious course. The Tokaj with the sweet was superb. The Walrus gets our seal of approval and we had a whale of a time.

Good restaurant and it’s great value. Small menu but all the better for it. Cooking was accomplished and service good and friendly from a young team. Wines are excellent. It’s well worth a visit if you’re in town.

First time trying The Walrus and it did not disappoint. Each dish on the 6 course taster was beautifully presented and had an excellent balance of complex methods and delightful flavours. Staff were all friendly, attentive and cared about providing a service. Would recommend to anyone looking for a dining experience.

We visited with friends on Saturday night when you have to have the six course taster menu. We also decided to have the flight of wines to accompany it. The whole experience was amazing. Every mouthful of food was delicious and the wines just enhanced our evening. The service was exemplary and would totally recommend it.

Gonna be totally honest here. It’s an attractive place but the noise is deafening. Curtains between booths would be good or other sound proofing efforts. It felt like the menu was too ambitious for the execution. We had wine flight plus tasting menu. We felt...

Took my wife here for her birthday surprise & it didn’t disappoint. Wonderful service, knowledgeable staff. The taster menu was delicious with additional mini courses in between. Very good value for money. Not stuffy & pretentious, but casual and friendly. Would definitely recommend

Lovely dinner, slightly over attentive waiting staff, but recommended all the same. Bread was beautiful.

The food was good, it was Michelin standard, presentation and taste very good. The downside for us was the lack of professionalism by waiting staff. A couple were very good but one wiped his nose with his hand before putting the desert on the table....

Simply Fabulous! Fantastic flavoursome food. The meal was reasonably priced for the quality of the food. Very attentive staff. Beautiful restaurant overlooking River Severn.

Great meal at the Walrus, had the tasting menu with wine flights. Each course was superb and the accompanying wine flights offered great value for money compared to some other restaurants in the guide. Would highly recommend, and look forward to visiting again.

Really Good food that is beautifully presented and well cooked. Can’t really fault the food and compliments to the chef. What was missing? Personal touch, ambience, lighting and special decor. When you pay £440 for a family of four it’s more than London high end...

Fabulous night. Started with some cocktails and then the taster menu, both were divine! Service was incredible. Would highly recommend.

Booked a table for my foodie husband's 60th birthday gift (taster menu with wine flight) and it did not disappoint- beautiful, innovative and delicious food accompanied by really interesting wines, great experience, lovely welcoming staff, definitely a 5 star experience

Delicious food. Good service. Excellent value.

Immaculate food in the restaurant with excellent wine pairings. Friendly and helpful staff with an in depth knowledge of the menu. To complete the evening there was a cosy bar area to have after dinner drinks, a hidden gem for a night of cocktails and...

OMG amazing. Cannot fault the food, service or atmosphere. We had the tasting menu and cannot recommend it highly enough. There are things I would not have selected individually but as part of the tasting menu so glad I had the opportunity to taste. It was my birthday so a perfect treat. Not cheap but so so worth it for the quality and taste of the food and the perfect service. We will be back!

Expectations were high. We had eaten at Walrus previously at their old address and enjoyed our meals. We were celebrating my wife's birthday in mid June and we chose a restaurant we believed could be relied upon to put good food on the table. Starters...

Another stunning meal at the Walrus ! Our Saturday lunch menu was absolutely delicious and such amazing value. Excellent friendly and knowledgeable staff . Can’t wait to return.
