The best restaurants in The Meres Shropshire West Midlands

Excellent food, excellent service and excellent setting. Staff friendly and efficient in their timings. There is also an excellent range of ales on offer. I have no hesitation in encouraging you to visit when in the area.

We have been here many times and have always had great food and good service, however, today was different. We had a 1.30pm booking which we arrived on time for. The pub was mobbed which was great to see. This was my mums 4th anniversary of her passing and we had invited our daughter and family. Drinks order was taken and delivered and our food order was also taken and all was well. However, after waiting for 1 hour and 15 minutes and seeing people who hadn’t even arrived before us, tucking into their food, we asked where ours was, especially as we had our 3 year old granddaughter with us, who kept saying she was hungry. The waitress came up and said that the food order hadn’t printed and apologised, saying our drinks would be free and the food would be with us in 5 minutes. 15 minutes later it arrived and was lovely. I have to say, this experience did put me into a mood especially as 2 of us had fish and chips and our granddaughter had the chicken goujons and we asked for tomato ketchup, which was delivered in a ridiculously small quantity, which I really didn’t understand as it was for 3 people. Ok, I made my feelings clear by then, not rude but clear, however, the waitress was not impressed. When we eventually got our food, we were asked a number of times how our food was, yet not one of them noticed that we hadn’t received our food after well over an hour. I think the biggest issue was, they felt giving us our drinks free was all they needed to do. Whilst this was fair, not one person when we paid, came out and apologised about the very poor experience we had today. We didn’t go there to get free drinks but to have an enjoyable meal to mark my mums anniversary.

We are regular visitors to the Red Lion in Myddle. We return every time because the food and service is second to none. We always receive a warm welcome and we know how hard Pete and Jackie and staff work to make sure that their guests are not disappointed. If you fancy a meal out around Shrewsbury (lunch or dinner) then look no further than the Red Lion. You won’t regret it.

Called here for a brew on our return from a hospital appointment and ending up having Breakfast! We have passed this cafe many times without calling! We found out this morning just what we have been missing! A warm friendly welcome, a good hearty breakfast and a good cup of tea for a reasonable price. what more could you ask?

Staff very pleasant and helpful Short visit but enjoyable nevertheless. Thanks.

Sort of stumbled across this lovely pub, last Saturday, whilst looking for somewhere dog-friendly to eat. We were welcomed in, and the food was excellent.

The hunters chicken was amazing, the best I've had. Fish and chips was good as well along with the pie. Clean plates!!!!

Stayed at harmer hill Premire inn. Next door is this pub. The food was lovely came out nice and quick. Tash was our waitress who was a delight to speak to. She really made us feel welcome and nothing was too much to ask. The other young staff member didn’t really know what they were doing by the looks. All in all a lovely meal with brilliant service.

We came along to the tearoom with our family who were visiting for the holiday, had lunch and it wasn't the standard expected. My daughter had a panini, and after taking her first bite she had a huge hair in it taking it back she asked for a replacement, and queried no bacon to which she was told it would be an extra £1.50 She paid it and when the new panini arrived it had bacon sure enough...... it was really fatty, she wasn't happy and didn't eat the other half of it. The staff are young and in experienced with the public as didn't know how to address the public correctly, called me love! Food was less than average with nothing adventurous in the salad bowl,just the usual lettuce pepper tomato and Cucumber. No dressing, it was bacon &chicken, the chicken was breaded,overcooked hard with re- constituted chicken yuck- £9 down the drain. I'm so disappointed, we have been coming to this garden centre for many years and I have to say it's the worst meal I've had! I hope that maybe the chef/cook has a more varied and better thought out menu with more interesting things,not breaded battered everything!
