The Wingfield Arms in Shropshire

Went for Sunday Carvery on 6th October 2024, Staff okay, Booked but only 4 names on the booking list when we got there, We have been before & had some very good food but place was empty, We had to ask to go up for food as no one said, The meat was good but they carved all 3 meats up on the same board with the same knife and fork not good, They then served all the Veg & other stuff without letting you help yourself so NOT A CARVERY, Veg & Potatoes undercooked & cold, Yorkshire pudding not under the hot plate so cold, They Limited portion size they give you, Not good food or value for money so won’t be returning as the food is not good enough now.

First time visiting and was very impressed. Although we were half an hour earlier than expected we were shown to a table immediately. Staff were all very pleasant, polite and helpful. Carvery lunch was lovely with a huge choice of vegetables. All reasonably priced. Dining room was clean and well set out. Great place - will definitely be going back!

We called by on our way home from wales about 2pm.it was very quiet ..but we had a lovely welcome we ordered 2 curry’s they were excellent ..we waited for it to be cooked well worth the wait ..new owners we wish them well …one negative …entrance door to the bar from car park looked like the pub was closed …we will be back …

Lovely meal and lots of it two young chefs very pleasant all staff lovely these are new owners and it takes time to get every thing right people should definitely give the sunday carvery a try and evening meals in week will definitely be back 8 /9 /24

We haven't been here for years due to the previous owners. Tried it today for Sunday lunch, it was amazing, plenty of food cooked really well. So good we have booked for Saturday night to try a curry. Staff were very friendly and helpful, price was very good.

This pub is the place to be when you want to have a great time with the lads on the weekend. The prices for your pints are well cheap and the food is smashing. The variety of flavours and the great customer service makes this place a top spot for the mates. I reccomend you all come here and drink some beer 💯

Very good food, friendly atmosphere. Furnishings dated.

Went for lunch to break up a long journey. Easy parking and a children's play area. The food was really yummy and would especially recommend the curry. Would have liked a vegetarian curry option. It was strangely empty - I think maybe it needs to be more obvious where the entrance door is from the car park as someone came along and thought it was closed as they just looked through the door of the events room at the back which had nothing going on.

Um not sure if this is a pub, or restaurant nowadays...? Very dark and dingy interior, decided to go elsewhere...

Unfortunately went for the Sunday carvery and i have to say it was terrible won't be rushing back. The plates were stone cold mash potato was packet mash stuffing balls were aunt bessies veg not warm and under cooked. Spoke to proprietor who didn't seem to bothered

Compared to my last visit a few years ago, the place looked very dated and run down. The drive to the car park littered with big potholes and a run down children's play area. The large fish tank in the bar home to a solitary goldfish. The lad that served us was friendly and helpful, but needs training as to what some of the menu items are and what drinks are available behind the bar. Whoever set our table needs to learn that the fork goes on the left and not the right. The carvery was disappointing. The beef was OK, but the yorkshire puddings were cold and the roast potatoes only just warm. I love a crispy roast potato but the smaller ones were over done and rock hard. The place was virtually empty while we were there and I that should have been a warning sign.

We love a carvery but very disappointed today. The place appears to have gone downhill since our last visit a few years ago. Firstly I must say the staff weighting on were friendly and welcoming. Our drinks were swiftly served to our table then we were invited up for the carvery. I had beef and the other 3 family members had Turkey. I have to say this is the first carvery I’ve come across where you’re not able to serve your own vegetables. It felt as if there was portion control going on. Unfortunately the beef in my opinion was undercooked. There was pink juice running from it. I did raise this with the waitress and it was quickly replaced with some Turkey. We were advised to pay at the bar and when asked if our meal was ok I explained about the beef seeming more on the rare side. I was told people like it like this. We explained that for a steak, people may request rare but generally we’ve not come across this at a carvery. No apology. There appears to be no prices displayed and for £13:95 for adult and £8.95 for a child we felt this wasn’t value for money especially with the portion control on the vegetables. We finished our drinks off outside. The play area from memory was lovely but it is now very run down. Wood apparatus rotting and coming apart, even the seats were rickety. Safe to say we won’t be returning. Such a shame as this use to be a great place for food.

We stopped for lunch on our way to a nearby event. The pub is under new management (2 months), and they are busy decorating and trying to upgrade a property which had become run down. Despite this we received a good welcome. There was a 25 minute wait for food but my chicken Caesar salad was fresh and the best I have ever eaten anywhere with generous portions of chicken, Parmesan, ham and crispy lettuce with a beautiful Caesar sauce. Coffee was excellent. The specials were all Indian meals which would have been too filling for lunch, but I guess they would have been delicious too.

Stopped on the off chance they allowed dogs and doing lunch last Sunday. They did and we had a lovely carvery meal for £12:95 with a choice of 3 meats including lamb. Excellent value.

Excellent food. Helpful, friendly staff. A bit quiet on Thursday lunchtime.

Very good food . Tasty food. Good customer service

Excellent food and great service, well recommend

Don't bother wasting your time on this place, they don't do meals only Sunday lunch, I was going to get vouchers but won't bother now, they need to update their website as its got a menu on there. Spoke to the man from the pub, he said they only do Sunday lunch,

An exceptional place. Really great Sunday roast. Good beers and set by the river. Really great staff, happy to serve you the finest beers, wines and spirits

A delightful meal. The staff were very friendly and the Chefs a Gem!

Ive been going here for a while now and ive just got to make a review.... The whole meal is perfect the gommon and pork is always somehow juicy and has no fat at all the cauliflower cheese is fantastic and when we walk in we sit down... INSTANT SERVICE.. THE WINGFIELD ARMS is also a good place to go and just chat with friends 10/10

The food and service was excellent. Atmosphere!! Slightly dull..

Came here for the first time today When we arrived we were treated superbly by staff The staff could not do enough for us We all had carvery and the food was amazing and we will be returning on a regular basis after today!!!

Called hers to sample there Carvery. Service first class and so friendly. Carvery was amazing a big well done to all will be a regular for sure if i could have gave 10 stars i would

We were greeted by the owner who snapped at us with “ Have you booked?” After stabbing his book with his orange highlighter, he ushered us to a table. The meat was cold, the veg was served by a girl, all stone cold. The plate was hot though! Obviously run by a retired southern family who have no idea what Shropshire folk want from a Sunday Carvery.

So, we 1st went to Oxon Priory but that was just shocking. Called here to get in, yes we can squeeze you in. NOBODY else there.!! Noticed Carvery ended at 4pm arrived @4:20. Great,😟 asked the question, can we still have a Carvery. Yes no problem. Talk about stingy portions. Ok we were the last customers for food (apart from the staff) meat was dry and chewy. After the staff had there pickings the food was just binned. I mean really!!! No real ales. Dated décor and talk about the toilets!! Let's not. Being truly honest, im sure it's a good Sunday lunch just don't go late in the afternoon

Wow what a Sunday lunch! 3 fresh meats all served hot and a choice of 9 veg and potatoes. Plentiful and fresh! Not usual pub food this is home cooked and quality! 2nd visit we will be back as the staff and locals so welcoming!

Excellent Sunday carvery today, food piping hot and lovely. so good booked for next week. A very warm welcome given, all staff very nice. Desserts were lovely. V

Our 2nd visit to this pub for food.l, and all I can say is "WOW". Today we had the carvery and the choice of 3 fresh meats and a selection of 9 potatoes and veg, all fresh and very hot, great value for money.Lovely country pub where locals and staff make you feel very welcome. So don't drive past cal in. We are on the caravan park behind and will be highly recommending this to others. Proper home cooked food no frozen stuff absolutley amazing. See below the Sunday

Just called in we have our cavan on site and what an golden nugget this place is. Fish chips and peas to die for and staff so friendly and amazing. Don't often gibe a 5 bit shud be a ten really

Our family went to the Sunday carvery today and we can't recommend it enough! A very warm friendly welcome from the owners. The food was amazing lovely good size meals and super tasty. Great service from all staff. Pudding was also delicious we had the cheese cake and my girls had the brownie! Yummy! Also a great selection of Ales Can't wait to go again. Thank you 👍

Visited while staying locally. Basic little pub, with the usual drinks and snacks available. We went on a Friday night and there was no obnoxiously loud music playing or anything like that. We were able to sit down, relax and enjoy our beers.

We thought we would Give it a go for Sunday lunch we arrived on time and was taken straight to our table we then waited for the staff to fill the selection of veg and pots the meat was put on cold plates that tipped me up and then it was all cold I wasn't the only person another family said the same I took it was the owner who came across and asked was it ok and I told him no I there was no real apologies so we won't bother going again if they expect people to pay 11.99 for each for a lunch Like that no thanks I knew it was a carvery but keep it hot for God sake

Great pub. Great Friendly staff. Definitly worth a visit

Nice food at a good price, friendly staff too!

Gorgeous Sunday lunch. Great quality meat. Large portions. Staff very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back.

Fabulous meal and wonderful staff who couldn't do enough to ensure high level of service. Will definitely be heading there again. A hidden gem

Went for lunch. Meat and everything else put on plate for you. Yorkshires and peas needed so we had to wait. Looked like they were scraping the barrel as containers nearly empty. This meal has been previously booked aswell! By the time they came out lunch was cold. Thought maybe the gravy would warm meal up?? No. Everything was cold not a great meal. To be honest the whole place needs a spruce up. What a waste of money.

Cold food. Place needs a good overhaul. Waste of money

We come to Shrewsbury every year for the steam rally have stayed at campsite in the past called in for a drink this afternoon wasn't sure if it was open someone from inside the pub came out and just stared at us in a rather intimidating manner made no attempt at conversation they were obviously staff/ landlord so with this and the daggy run down look of the place we decided to go, if the person involved would like to offer an explanation I would be interested to hear it

Sunday carvery amazing lunch good portion highly recommended

It's an alright pub, there's a fair bit of noise from kids though

Having moved to the area recently we visited as a family and ordered several rounds of drinks as the pub is on convenient walking distance. Asides from having zero atmosphere, the service we received was appalling. We ordered a round of drinks at 7.20pm to be told at 7.30pm that we needed to leave and drink outside as they were closing. Not only did we receive a rude response from the owner when we informed him that that was an unreasonable request, he had the audacity to claim that we should have known they were closing and would be expected to leave. We will not be returning until new owners inevitably take over due to lack of custom.

Great country pub with friendly staff, great food and atmosphere.

Lovely place right on the river....beer was great....went in after a night and day of fishing on the river....Will definitely go in again next time I'm there...staff were great

Jade, Andy and their team were very welcoming, excellent customer service and the Sunday lunch was gorgeous. Definitely coming back. 😊

Me and my family come here quite often, either for food or just drinks and always been great! The food is Gorgeous and well presented, especially the Katsu curry which was the special for that day 😍 staff are lovely and very helpful. great for a family day out in the sunshine with a lovely garden and park for the kiddies. ❤️

Lovely place very friendly staff the landlord was very helpful nothing was to much trouble fantastic food will definitely go back again and take friends.

My partner secretly planned a marriage proposal and Toni and Christie went all out to make it special. The food was amazing. Brilliant pub, perfect hosts, highly recommend

Nice food decent service 1 small downfall carvers is served up not help yourself

Visited The Wingfield Arms now several times over last few weeks and each time made to feel very welcome. Food is good and Sunday carvery is first class. All served hot and good portions. Staff are all very friendly and accommodating. Give it a try.

We got on the river at the back of the pub then had a lovely cider and some food sat outside in the sunshine. Great for Kayaking or Paddle boarding then some refreshments

Looks completely different on the outside to the experience of the inside. Cosy little pub tucked away.

Went to the wingfield arms for an early evening meal and saw the new menu had launched! Absolutely amazing! Hubby had the belly pork, incredible crackling! Sauce was outstanding! And I had the wingfield burger, beautifully cooked, lovely presentation and absolutely gorgeous. Onion rings are to die for, the batter was amazing. Staff were really accommodating, polite and friendly. Had been before for the carvery on a Sunday which was gorgeous! But nice to have an evening meal option too! Hats off to the chef!

Our party of 26 were going to watch our Bolton team play Shrewsbury Town on Saturday 22nd January. We phoned the Wingfield Arms and asked if they could accommodate us at short notice and they said they would. The Landlady explained that she was on her own in the kitchen and there may be a delay with the food but it wasn't a problem at all. I had the Wingfield Arms Burger and Chips and it was absolutely delicious. They had a good selection of food including fish and chips and Chilli Con Carne and a large and varied selection of Pizzas. The Landlord and his son ran the bar efficiently while the Landlady took care of the food. We all had a thoroughly good time and would recommend the venue to any football fans travelling away to Shrewsbury Town as the village is only about twelve miles from the Ground. We will be visiting the Wingfield next season if our teams are in the same league. Thank you Wingfield Arms for your hospitality.

This is our local and enjoy everytime we visit. The owners are amazing and so welcoming. The food is highly recommended. As a local we popped down for a couple on new years Eve and was surprised with an unexpected spectacular buffet... Was absolutely amazing. What wonderful People. Thank you so much.. your amazing xx

A nice pub and bigger inside that it looks..

the food i had was absolutely insane! My husband had the curry, and i had the chicken fajitas and both were cooked to perfection. Would definitely recommend and i will certainly be returning!

I was in the Wingy last Saturday for a few beers and a game of pool. I don't normally have any food but was staying a bit longer than usual, so I asked if I could have a sweet chilli chicken pizza. I'd heard from some of the other locals that the food is good and they regularly eat there. Well, I was amazed at how good and tasty it was compared to the supermarket ones I eat at home. Big chunks of chicken, wonderful cheese and lots of it and a cracking chilli sauce flavour. Didn't manage to eat it all that night as it was so large so I asked for a box to take the rest home with me. The staff are always very helpful and the chef is a marvel. Thanks all x

Friendly service and good food, worth a visit.

warmly welcomed into the pub, food was presented lovely and tasted great, cooked just the way we wanted, staff were very attentive to every need. will definitely be back

Place was ok, food was good and lots of it.

We were the only customers in the pub ordered a meal almost waited a hour for two toasties, when it arrived i could not even cut mine the bread was so hard, the board outside said they were serving food till 5 but while we were there a table of 6 were turned away due to the chef being on a dinner break for a hour. The food was very expensive for what we had.

First class service and food thank you

Good food, really friendly and helpful staff, recommended.

I was blown away by how accommodating the wingfield was, the staff were second to none and the food was just what we were after, a good pint and well valued meals, definitely try this place again 👍🏻👍🏻

Planned to visit here on route to snowdonia due to reading good reviews. Very poor welcome, food advertised on board outside and were told no food available for no valid reason seeing as it said outside food served 12-8pm. Not dog friendly. Pub currently up forsale, possible for good reason. To top it off £3.20 for 1 pint of lemonade!

What a gem of a place! Food was superb, staff all incredibly welcoming and friendly. We left full and contented. Can recommend the steak and ale pie and sticky toffee pudding!

Very good steak and ale pie. Prompt and polite staff.

Went to a 60th birthday party in the function room at the Wingfield Arms at the weekend and was very impressed with everything. The buffet was exceptional, catering for every possible taste and there was enough to feed an army. Very good value for money. We all had a great evening. Thank you to everyone involved.

Plenty of parking but uneven ground. As a pub ir is good. Great place for functions like Birthday parties. Very good outdoor area, and somewhere can safely take kids.

Great atmosphere great food highly recommended

Very nice little pub we found on the way back from a camping trip, we rang and were welcomed in by the Aussies. Had very nice meals and a great chat with the owner. A very welcome stop on our way home and will be stopping by again when next in the area.

Great food, very affordable and plenty of options!

Three of us ate from varied menu, we chose fish and chips, gammon and Wingfield burger, all very tasty,well presented large portions followed by sticky toffee pudding,cheesecake and belgium waffles, delicious, staff very attentive including chef who came to ask was everything ok. Covid safe.Will definetely be returning.

Very nice food great atmosphere will be going back

Very tasty home cooked food. Pizza is the best we have had, also homemade.

After reading some of the reviews we were looking forward to a nice meal. The first thing that surprised me was the fact nobody was following the COVID guidelines, no masks being worn by staff or customers, no details taken or QR code. Food was below average, I had a steak which I asked to be cooked medium and came out rare and the battered fish looked like it was cooked from frozen. Now sat in a whitbread run pub and what a contrast. I won’t be returning!!!

We live across the road from The Winga, and we are in here all the time... the food is absolutely faultless, they are always happy to cater to any dietary requirements, I’m vegetarian and the head chef Christy is always asking how the food is and if there is anything she could do to improve the food or add any veggie bits to the menu... The Wingfield burger is highly recommended by my partner and my son, and my other son particularly loves the dirty fries with cheese and bacon, and extra cheese and bacon the staff are always happy to help and nothing is too much trouble.. it’s lovely to be able to enter the pub again now lock down is easing, and I want to thank all the staff and management for making the first night back so great, thank you guys, see you soon, Mel, Dave Ry and Danny ♥️

, Had a fantastic meal and a few beers just what we needed after lockdown and boy was it worth it . Burgers were exceptional glad to be back .

We stopped off here for a quick drink. Ended up staying for food, and glad we did. We had no trouble finding a table outside and they also have a few tables under cover. The food was lovely and the staff very friendly and attentive. Would definately recommend this pub and we ard looking forward to our next visit.

Great pub and the food is good,Well worth a vist 👍

Sunday carvey a huge improvement on when I last went last year. Really was fantastic. Would now definitely recommend.

Had a lovely afternoon. Pleasant people and good food

Went here for drink after walking , No Sanitation, No masks worn at bar, No details taken No one way system, will not go again

I'm on crutches, the floor was dangerously wet, in the bar and toilet. It was very difficult to walk on! They hardly had any beer, took forever to get serve The land lady was pleasant.

Great hospitality and friendly people

Never been before will definitely go again. Nice friendly service

Good pub food by absolutely no sanitation taking place .. manager shaking hands with customers and no social distancing

Plenty of parking. Bar staff were very friendly and accommodating. My wife had the Kiev, which was home made and cooked to perfection. I had the wingfield burger (highly recommended) which was one of the tastiest burgers I've had in a very long time. Well worth the visit.

I have to be really honest we went for their carvery very dissogonise the set up is terrible the meat was tuff an most of the veg was cold or reheated Not at all happy I told them of the faults as is always best to do because the place and Sophie were extremely nice they gave us a free dessert nice of them But unless they have great feedback in the future we wont be going again.

Perfect family lunch. Carvery was hot, fresh and great portions offered of the meats and yorkies. Wide variety of vegetables. All the staff were so friendly and attentful. Good value for money. Will definitely return.

We had a lovely weekend away. Ate at the wingfield arms for 3 days, excellent service,nothing to much trouble, staff excellent, food great wonderful landlord.. We will be back .

Cosy pub with a great carvery and really friendly service

Nice friendly bar maid, good selection of drinks, out of the way location, large car park. Food served during the day.

just had a few beers but seemed decent enough and friendly

Booked 2 weeks in advance for 4 of us. There was hardly anything left on the menu, no choice but fish cakes for gluten free the other item had run out. Almost everything we tried to order on the menu had ran out! Then they told us the chef had left! Then as an apology they gave us a free pudding (the only pudding left available as they said the cheesecake had gone off) that was completely inedible as it's was burnt to a crisp! I was embarrassed for the young lad serving us! I will never eat there again! The food we did eat was average and certainly not worth the money we paid!

Sad. Nothing like it used to be. No food to talk of just bar snacks no atmosphere

Beautiful food, service quite slow but atmosphere made up for it

Fantastic New year's night party for all, wonderful free buffet, lovely company, compliments to the landlord and landlady x
