The best restaurants serving British food 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.

Stayed her for 4 nights wish having a break with friends. The owners are friendly,and really welcoming. The breakfasts are spot on and cooked to order and of a really high quality. We ate in the restaurant all 4 nights -again the food was excellent loads of choice so there was no issues being in the same place 4 nights running. Our room was plenty large enough, loads of storage and a good sized bathroom which would benefit from a blind on the window 😁 This is a great place to stay if you want to visit Shrewsbury and everything it has to offer

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.
