Townhouse Bar & Brasserie in Shropshire

Probably the worst Sunday lunch we have ever had ! 2 of us had the roast beef my husband quipped it looked like it had been sliced off the cow and served as blood was on the plate , it was so tough and chewy no flavour at all. And 2 small slices . The plate is piled into a stack in the middle so looks impressive but that’s the only good thing. My elderly mother whose birthday we were celebrating had to send her undercooked inedible pork back I practically had to beg the waitress to bring her something else . My cauliflower steak was basically a piece of sliced cauliflower with a coulis of sauce . The puddings are a complete rip off at £11 each tiny portions. This restaurant is trying to be something it is not . The table was dirty . The toilet not cleaned and no toilet paper . Over priced and very underwhelming definitely won’t return.

Great atmosphere!. Amazing food. We've tried the Sunday pork belly roast which had a delicious gravy and great sides!. The starters and desserts deserve a try. Beautiful and full of well chosen flavours!

We like a late leisurely lunch and decided to book here. On arrival the place was almost deserted which worried me but given the fact they run out of quite a few items I imagined unlike us, most people prefer an earlier lunch and they must have been incredibly busy. We ordered the last of each roast options and because they had run out of so much they basically gave us 2 whole roast chickens to share as wel as having ordered the last portions of both beef an pork. There was so much food and we took left overs back with us. The food itself was amazing, super flavourful and beautifully presented. I also spied the plates served for some fellow late diners and they looked incredible too! The idea of toasted sourdough and butter as a little starter seems basic but don't be fooled, the sourdough itself was amazing and topped with the smoked butter was just delightful. Desserts were equally as delightfull, never would I have imagined sherry vinegar as an ice cream flavour but it was incredible. Service was great too. We are here till the end of the week and I really hope that we get the opportunity to come back for dinner before we head back.

I’ve eaten in some of the best fine dining restaurants in capital cities all over the world and this was one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten in my life! Exceptional local ingredients and flavour combinations! We are from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 and so happy we experienced your delightful restaurant and bar. Compliments to you all and especially the chef.

Relaxing vibe fantastic food and friendly service make this restaurant worth every visit

Recommended by a friend who lives in the town, nice place but let down by being a bit empty? Food not the best but told it was new chef so maybe they just need time to settle in . Good staff

Lacked atmosphere somewhat. Only the outside was open and it was pretty cold later on despite the infra red heaters. That said the food was good and service efficient. The place almost looked closed from the outside. Overall i would give 7/10

We came to the townhouse for a birthday party and the service was impeccable, Rebekah and her team made sure that we had great service all evening. The pre-order menu whilst somewhat limited was excellent and only positive feedback was to be had from everyone in the group. A vegan menu and a children’s menu were provided on request, offering options that catered to everyone in the party. Overall I couldn’t fault my experience with the townhouse, and would recommend it highly.

Returned on an annual holiday to visit the Townhouse again and had an excellent family dinner. On complimenting the staff we were advised that a new chef was now in post, having worked in a restaurant in London with Michelin star. This was consistent with an improved quality of food, which was now truly excellent rather than just very good as last year. Puddings in particular were fantastic, but this really now is an all round gem in the area.

Delicious Sunday roast, lovely service and atmosphere. Garlic roast potatoes were amazing and the beef was super tender.

Had dinner here, new chef apparently. Margaritas were fab! Burger and fries got top marks from my boyfriend. Fish in batter wash well cooked, light batter, great pea purée. Chips were a bit over salted. Desserts were lovely. Was a bit dubious about sherry vinegar ice cream but it went with the cheesecake so well. Apple pie also great. Highly recommended!

Beautiful place, amazing atmosphere. Food was outstanding. Staff very friendly and helpful, especially Chloe. Thank you all

Booked by friends for Sunday lunch, lovely welcoming staff, beautiful surroundings, so comfortable to. Food was gorgeous, tasty and cooked perfectly, carrots absolutely spot on, not many get them perfectly cooked. Roast beef was perfection on a plate, oh REAL plates to not wood, slate or a bin lid, proper plates ! Thankyou Townhouse for being so accommodating, we had a lovely time. R.e parking, it's hidden away which meant we drove by it twice, better signage would be useful.

Fantastic hidden gem. Great venue for food and drinks. Outside and inside is immaculate. Recommend the hanging kebab. Special mention to who ever put together the playlist

Nice little gem in Oswestry. Went on a quiet Wednesday evening. Food was tasty and it has a great atmosphere.

Excellent venue with first class facilities. And great food. In fact a bit special. Our first visit since moving to the area. I'll certainly be back. Dig friendly in the downstairs bar area so big win as far as I'm concerned.

Second time we've been here. Well, absolutely fantastic food and drinks. The service is outstanding and a special mention to Ollie the manager and his wonderful team. Big shout out to the chef, who knows how to cook a steak to perfection 🤌 Footnote: Had a Tapas meal tonight at Tiempo Absolutely 💯 %. We'll be back many times, that's for sure🪙

Ridiculously misleading menu at the tapas, paid £8.50 for one chicken and chorizo skewer which had one small piece of chicken breast, a small sausage and a bit of onion, entire bill came to £160 and we're leaving hungry, last time we came to the main restaurant and ended up with food poisoning not happy

Have been here a few times in last few years food is always delicious and thoughtfully presented. Wine list particularly reds could be a bit bigger but perhaps that is not the main draw for their crowd. The cocktails are lovely and it is a great building.

Great food and great service - will be going again! Staff were on the ball and made it a lovely outing.

Sadly the restaurant was empty so no atmosphere at lunchtime, but the food is excellent, deserves more support even after Christmas.

Christmas get together. Very unorganised there was no salt and pepper on the table ,no butter with bread rolls, no cranberry sauce had to ask for these. The room was to small for our party The food was not great have had better

We held my sister’s 40th birthday party at the Townhouse and it was amazing. From my initial enquiry to collecting everything yesterday, the staff could not be more helpful. They are so friendly, organised and attentive and are a credit to the Townhouse. The venue is the best around, well kept and modern and the live singers and Christmas party atmosphere made it so much fun. Drinks are delicious, particularly the cocktails. A vast selection and reasonably priced. The car park is an added bonus. We have had many events, special occasions and casual meals and meet ups at the Townhouse and will continue to do so. An asset to the town. Thank you all so much for making our eve so special.

We visited for Tapas and had a lovely evening . Throughout our time there, we were particularly impressed by the service from Georgia and Sam . They worked non stop and with a smile throughout. The cocktails were lovely too!

Uninspiring no atmosphere. Nothing special food was OK but very plain. Service was excellent.

First class meal and service second to none by Rebekah! Also met Jack and thanked him for the lovely food. We will visit again just for Rebekah’s smile!

4 of us went for a 60th birthday lunch and it was wonderful. The ambience, service, food and cocktails were amazing. Mike who served us was so lovely and Jack the Chef came to say hi and we were glad to be able to tell him his food was top notch.

Starters cold. Wine just put on table, not opened or poured. Scares staff Average at best. Was very disappointed for a birthday treat

We have eaten several times outside in the garden fo lunch, a pleasant experience. Went for Sunday lunch a couple of weeks ago, and must say it was the worst Sunday lunch I think I have ever had. Beef, smallish portion but was ok. Roast potatoes were badly roasted, veg - el dente- rock hard I’d say, and cold. Plates cold hence dinner was cold after a few minutes, not enough gravy, had to ask, also had to ask for horseradish, complained about cold and undercooked. Then ordered rice pudding, guess what, it was cold, in the microwave please. Knocked 20% off the bill, but would have preferred a decent lunch at full price, no apologies from the management. Won’t be returning.

Came for a Sunday roast 15.10, all veg was undercooked and hard to cut, opted for the veggie roast and the tofu was soft milky. Supposed to opt for the 2 course for £22 but we didn’t order dessert after the awful main. Mentioned the issues to the server and offered no discount or refund with only having a couple of bites of food. No one there to greet you upon entrance, didn’t know where to go For a very disappointing lunch, it came to £47

A bit disappointed after reading the reviews. The food presentation was not good and expected more for what we paid. We had a burger and pasta after a starter of soup. The soup had no garnish and a small roll. The burger was accompanied by chipped potatoes that were from frozen ( not home made) the pasta was bland and quite dry. Overall disappointed and maybe another look at being better than a basic pub meal.

Been here a few times now, and always impressed with the service and food. We tried the tapas which was great, especially paired with a jug of sangria!

Love this place but the young women who seems to be in charge let’s the place down. Rude and condescending to the staff team and walks around doing nothing but bossing the young staff team infront of the customers. Very unprofessional and actually awkward a real shame as we won’t be returning because of it!

Visited oswestry for the day and decided to have lunch as it was a beautiful day . Sat outside and ordered a bottle of prosecco and some food . Waitress very professional and accommodating, food was excellent looking forward to a revisit. Would definitely recommend.

Went for a family meal. The staff were very efficient and friendly and the food and service was superb. A young lady behind the bar did her very best to get hold of a taxi for us but unfortunately there does not seem to be many about Oswestry. Would not hesitate to go back there again and again. Thank you for a wonderful night.

Nice place food was good. Only surprise was the Thai prawn and Noddles is cold but did not mention on the menu.

We'd been searching for somewhere to have a tasty Sunday lunch which could also cater for a gluten free diet, and was also dog friendly - We thought that might have been too much to ask for but then we found The Townhouse. The staff were all wonderful, they welcomed us and our pup and made us all feel at home (Finn dog made some new friend). We sat in the covered outdoor area which is really nice and pleasant. The Sunday lunch was great! Veg nicely prepped and served al dente, the meat was beautifully cooked, flavoursome and tender, and the roasted potatoes had a lovely hint of garlic. For desert I had the Banoffiee pie (not gluten free) which was amazing, my boyfriend had the Eaton Tidy (gf) which he said was fantastic and made a change from the usual gluten free afterthoughts that he is normally offered (ie ice-cream). We had 2 glasses of coke and a pint of ale, it all came to under £60 which I think was very reasonable. Thanks again team!

Dropped in for lunch for 4, absolutely lovely food eaten out in the garden. Eaton "tidy " was marvellous, delightfully light meringue with juicy raspberry's Service was very efficient friendly and polite. Highly recommended

The starter started off well, I decided to have this prawns with noodle salad. The prawns were off the supermarket shelf, the broccoli was raw and the dressing was like vinegar. Tried to eat it but eventually gave up as the lower I got the worse it tasted. Sticky toffee pudding should be renamed toffee pudding, not good. Service was really the only good thing about it, advice to the waiter, don’t offer 20% discount off the bill and insult us with a 10% off the main course. Didn’t raise the matter as my husband doesn’t like confrontation and it was his birthday. Won’t be visiting again till they change the chef.

Brilliant restaurant, food, service and atmosphere is exceptional, the burger is a triumph. Would thoroughly recommend going.

Made us really welcome! Great beer, fantastically presented meals, super service!

Super lunch venue , loved sitting in the garden in the sunshine, felt we were on holiday. Although we weren't in a hurry the service was quite slow, the staff were very pleasant and food great when it came. Might not be suitable if you're on a fixed lunch bresk.

Excelente restaurante con platos muy elaborados y con ingredientes de calidad. Tiene una amplia terraza para disfrutar del verano al aire libre. La atención por parte de las camareras fue genial. Sin duda que repetiremos

Food was basic for what it was. Service. Underage staff jumping around and less focus on customer service. Atmosphere was relaxed and quiet. Decor and design of the restaurant was nice.

We came here having had a drink in the garden earlier in the afternoon, and were tempted by the Calves Liver on the menu, so we boked a table for the evening. The start wasn't great, the calves liver wasn't available, but fortunately it was uphill all the way. Nice food, nice wine, perfect service. Even the odd joke about the lack of calves liver from our lovely waitress. It turned out very nice.

Nice decor, but poor food. Catalogue of errors from the waiter forgetting my request for gluten free to the rice in the rice pudding being uncooked. Also the bill was incorrect! In short style over substance.

Picked this restaurant on the basis of the reviews here. Really disappointing experience. 1. Ordered gluten free bread and oil etc, waiter brought regular bread to the table. Luckily my partner checked. 2. Soup and gluten free bread served. Bread was soggy and wet (obviously microwaved) and the soup was incredibly tasteless. 3. Main course was edible, but not worth the charge. 4. Rice pudding - the rice was not fully cooked and was hard, making it inedible. At this point I sent it back. 5. The waiter got the bill wrong. I was actually embarrassed that I had suggested this restaurant to my friends.

Cool veg was a turn off. Was considering booking an event but looking elsewhere.

Fantastic food and atmosphere with the staff going out there way to fit our food order in as we was a couple of minute passed the kitchen opening hours. Highly recommend to anyone wanting food and drink in a very welcoming venue.

Lovely bar and restaurant. Came for Sunday roast over the bank holiday weekend. Fabulous service and great quality food. All food was quickly served with good portion sizes. Reasonable prices The onyl negative was that we were sat by the kitchen doors and every time the door opened you were hit by a loud blast of music from the kitchen. Would of been 5 stars without this

Visited today for a bite to eat and a quick recce for a potential wedding venue. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a warm smile and seated promptly. After ordering our food we were shown around the venue by another very...

Great atmosphere, drinks and bill took a little while despite it looking not too busy but maybe other rooms were busy. Food was really good, unique cocktails

Four of us went in for lunch on Sunday. Beautifully refurbished premises but food was very poor. The polenta starter was very salty and the polenta oily. The roast potatoes were almost too hard to cut, the whole thing was poorly cooked. But worst of...

Great lunchtime stop and tapas/wine very good

Lovely place, a bit confusing on entry, the ground floor is split into 3, Tapas at the front, bar in the middle and bistro at the rear, with a large garden, when you come in, it can be a little difficult to navigate as there is no signage, even after sitting in the bar we had to be shown were the bistro was. The location, staff and food were great, pretty good value for money too. A couple of tiny bits of feedback on the food, were given after our meal but definitely still worth 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great spot for lunch, lovely garden in the summer, visited many times and will definitely visit again

Excellent food and service. Definitely be returning.

I went for dinner there last night, the bar area is lovely, however the dining room had a draught from the window, unfortunately a large group of diners were very loud! The lamb was very greasy & mostly bone! The cawl was disgusting I left it! No veg!! The cappuccino was cold & badly made, no froth! They need to go to Costa to see how a cappuccino is made! Would not eat there again; a very disappointing meal. For me its OK as a bar!

Only marked down because there were some very loud rude travellers in very unusual in this pub. But it was scary at times. So spoilt our meal. The staff handled them brilliantly

10/10 food was amazing, definitely recommend and will be coming again

My wife and I often have lunch here. The food is delicious and well priced. The friendly service is excellent, what more could anyone want.

Had our works do here and fair play was absolutely spot on great food, great service, great atmosphere, would highly recommend.

Lovely bar, great cocktails and the bar snacks and good were ace too. Staff were very accomodating and looked after our group brilliantly. Would absolutely recommend the cherry Bakewell cocktail. It was heaven! The fish finger sarnie was incredible too!!

What can I say, came for lunch with my mother, treated like royalty, food superb, service incredible. Ambience and surroundings perfect. Music just right..

Visited on a Saturday afternoon, food was very good. Enjoyed starters as not overly hungry. Staff super friendly and welcoming. Cocktails were very good and the atmosphere created was lovely. Would visit again if in area.

The food was okay but not worth the high price tag we paid

I first discovered The Townhouse in August 2019 when my sister and I went to a Yoga Brunch there. My fiance and I were looking for venues at the time for our wedding. We wanted a small and intimate venue and so I enquired if...

We recently held a work event for 70 colleagues at the Townhouse. Natalie, Ollie and the team were very attentive and accommodating from the first point of contact. The night itself went extremely well; we were able to book additional entertainment which Natalie was available...

First of all I’d like to say how lovely and welcoming all of the staff were tonight. I was amazed at the service and the smiles on all of their faces. The food was absolutely amazing and the drinks couldn’t have been any better. I...

An exalent meal in pleasant surroundings fine meridian beer. What was not to like

After being recommended the Townhouse a few times by friends, I finally had chance to go there. Such a lovely venue, great atmosphere. I had the braised pork cheek to start and the local lamb dish for my main - both so delicious. I must...

Visiting Oswestry and found the townhouse for dinner. The place is lovely, staff friendly but the food was a big letdown. We both had starters which were ok but the main meals were poor my partner had a burger which was bland, the bacon was...

Came here with my family on Tuesday for my aunt's birthday. Couldn't fault the food or service! I especially loved the crab Mac n cheese and Oreo cheesecake!

Lovely food, great service, in fact a most enjoyable experience. Proper food! I had pig cheeks as a starter, absolutely melt in the mouth. Well worth a visit.

My partner and I visited this place on a Friday night. I had made the booking online and in the comments section I had made a note that it was in celebration for his birthday. The food and place and reviews looked great, it looked...

Ate here with friends one Saturday night. We were a group of 10 and they asked us to turn up a little early so we could order our meals in the bar, because we were a large group. We did this but no one actually...

Nice place and aesthetic. Located in a good location in the centre of Oswestry. We attended an evening meal here, which was nice. We had a steak and some other sides. The only let down was the price! Probably wouldn’t eat here again, as there are better places for the price however, it is a lovely place for drinks! I have sat outside in the summer and it was a great day.

Meal for 5 booked and nice table allocated, good and attentive service with wine and food. 4 x lamb (2 shoulder and 2 loin) plus a rib eye that exceeded expectations. 2 x cheese board (1 to share) and 2 x ice cream and couldn't fault any of the food

Poor parking arrangement it was a nightmare. Not enough coffee given wouldn't come there again.

Pleasant restaurant with good selection of locally produced food. Enjoyable evening with great food.

We have loved visiting this restaurant in the past and were really looking forward to coming back. Unfortunately the meat was awful, every mouthful was griselly and the dessert bland. We sat inside which was a mistake as we were left without any service for...

I loved my experience at the townhouse i had the best fish and chips I’ve ever had in my life! Amazing service from the lovely girls. The Prosecco was chilled to perfection! Thankyou ! Love Libby

Nice food, cocktails & friendly staff, does get busy so book ahead

Had a meal there last night was excellent two of our party had our own lamb cooked to perfection, the staff were spot on👍

Great food and great choice of beers.

Lovely garden setting for drinks and food. Friendly staff and good wine 👌🏼

Enjoyed the food in a great outside space and really good service Not a fan of service charges automatically added to the bill

Great food, staff and service spot on…. Always a pleasure! Highly recommended.

Great food, drink and atmosphere! The beer garden and outdoor seating area is perfect for the warmer weather.

Fantastic food and atmosphere once again. Nothing was too much trouble, children were welcome and looked after by the lovely manager throughout. We will be back!

Amazing food, even better staff It is always such a pleasure dining at Townhouse. The staff are very welcoming and cater to everybody’s needs whilst the food is always of high quality and completely delicious. I really wish more establishments were like Townhouse! I have never had a bad experience whilst there and everyone I know feels the same way. Well done to the staff and thank you!

First time visit even though we are now relatively local. Outdoor area peaceful and well thought out, food really good and reasonably priced and service was excellent; especially the lovely lady who on our way out showed us round the inside including which areas were...

Terrible.. this was a complete mess, chips Not cooked, steak.. completely over cooked nothing left of it.. Not 15 oz.. microwaved sauce which was all congealed.. and some lettuce on its own as a salad.. FM,,, and don't get me started on the lager... Didn't eat it and didn't pay.. ruined my birthday. Zero stars. Just read the response.. The wine was not opened. No offer to re-cook was made. Bring my own alcohol.. rubbish never said that And i suppose the chef response that blue cheese sauce is gravy based ....Which explains the brown blue cheese sauce... Please.. And i ordered the steak on a more to the well done side.. not a piece of dried up leather. If your going to respond.. trying being truthful. Now i know your dam liar.. i suggest you learn to tell the truth and then maybe learn to cook . And yes i am right over the road. Something i suggest you fix immediately is calling me a liar The wine was not opened and the all the food was returned. .

My husband and myself have been to The Townhouse on a number of occasions and as usual we had a very pleasant evening on our recent visit. Staff are very friendly, service is great and the food lovely. We ate under the covered deck. Plenty...

Our first visit to this hidden gem 💎 of a place(at lunchtime)....warm welcome, stunning inside and outside, dog friendly (given her own bowl and treats,wow! And then the food arrived and our expectations were exceeded.. Charlie and Natalie were great hosts,attentive and lovely..thank you so much.. We will be back very soon...

The Townhouse is such a warm, cosy, lovely decorated bar, restaurant and guest house and to see that it's still going. A very attractive looking building from the outside, has great garden and seating outdoors area with a bar and the restaurant inside serves some amazing food. Just popped in to see if they had proper real cask ale on tap and they did. The staff were ever so friendly and welcoming and Olly gave me a taster of their "Meantime" real cask ale when I popped to the inside bar and it was so fresh, well kept, citrusy delicious which immediately made me ask for a pint of it! Cheers Olly and all the other staff for such a memorable return to The Townhouse! Recommend this pub, restaurant, guesthouse on Willow Street in Oswestry and always special food deals on their menu. Well done to you all...!

Great at location and a lovely garden.

A last minute decision to pop to Oswestry just for something to do and while wandering around came across Townhouse and wow what a find! We only wanted a cuppa but after walking through to the garden and terrace at the back we instantly thought...

Dined both Friday and Saturday night in the walled garden,food really good the staff were amazing, excellent food, surroundings outside, excellent staff and service even the chef changed a dish for our elderly mother 👍 Steve & Sarah

Lamb cutlets without lamb 😕 something resembling broccoli tbc! And dare I say a factory produced dessert assembled in the kitchen by scattering a few berries around it!!
