Cafe in Shrewsbury

“Really nice savoury and sweet crepes. Not too long a wait either. We had the smoked salmon and cream cheese crepe which was lovely”

“I had green curry, it was so delicious, I loved it so much. Hoping to go back soon. P.S. I don’t leave reviews regularly, but after seeing many spammy reviews with negative comments and fake photos, I wanted to let people know that it’s a lovely place to eat.”

“Great pub fantastic conservatory and pub garden prices are low to medium nice local larger and cider. Service great and friendly nibbles offered sometimes and may be possible to eat outside food on premises.”

“Amazing venue to hire for a party - highly recommend!”

“Good to see Wem Town Hall working well in these times. From here the meals on wheels service is being run in this crisis. Well organized use of volunteers. Flexible responsive and caring. Delivering quality food from local caterers including their own in house cafe team. I expect MBE's for these selfless people Mr Johnson, in due course. I am sure our "servant for the whole of her life" gracious Queen will be delighted to bestow such recognition.”

“had a lovely time here today, Charles was our server and was polite, efficient and just generally great! We had lovely drinks from the bar and sat in the porch area which had a lovely breeze on a hot day like today, as well as a beautiful view of the river. The food came out fast despite it being quite busy in the restaurant and it was delicious! We look forward to visiting again soon :)”

“Very atmospheric place, very traditional old Shrewsbury, loved the gorgeous leaded windows, the old stone work etc. We were well looked after by Ash who went 'above and beyond', (thank you), lovely chap. He looked after 12 of us extremely well.... I was a bit surprised it was just Ash' on his own. Nothing was too much troubke. Management need to pay him more. I thought the background music was lovely, plus lovely NOT to get the cheesy Christmas music. PS Excellent liaison pre-event with Tamara by email. THANK YOU. (There were12 of us in the party).”

“Just amazing place. I was just reading about the reviews about the place but didn't expect what it was when we went in. The entrance is small but place was big inside and a whole lot of seats. I love the decor and feel inside, just loved eating and hanging around inside. They have a kid's menu and they loved the food they ordered. We took the steak promo and was surprised that the tomahawk tasted that well, it was just tender and tasty and well made. Loved the chips that came with it, crunchy and tasty. My daughter had the fudge and it was really good. Service was good and quick, they were really friendly. Would be going back for sure”

“Really delicious food in generous portion. We ordered seafood paradedelle (pasta), marinated sea bream with fried calamari and ragout potatoes, and kid’s chicken with rice. We will definitely come back again! :)”

“I could not recommend Flooglebinder enough! They are a fantastic company. From the day I found out about the trip to South Africa that they offer for students I was hooked! Throughout the process of booking the trip Ian was always updating me on any information for the trip including flights and activities that will take place and what I need for my trip of a lifetime! I always felt supported and safe and like I could ask any questions which would always be replied to quickly. The trip itself was out of this world, everyday was full of education, excitement, adventure and something different everyday. I cannot wait to travel with Flooglebinder again!”

“Visited Zap this week for lunch and wasn’t disappointed. Had a bacon and cheese toastie and my friend had a cheese and onion toastie, both very tasty. There was a nice selection of cakes available too. We had a tea and a latte, both good. Lots of people in there, it looks well supported by local people. Friendly service by the owner Asma, who was busy on a Monday lunchtime. We will return and I would recommend.”

“I've been here a few times now and I can safely say I'll be calling in many more times whilst I'm working in Shrewsbury. The food is spot on and the strawberry milkshakes are the best I've ever had. They have homemade cakes as well but I am yet to sample them. Perhaps on my next visit.... If you're on Castle Street and fancy a bite, I highly recommend you call in.”

“Lovely place for kids to play! Feels safe and can let your children be children without the worry of them getting out of the play area. Would definitely recommend. Safe are helpful and very friendly.”

“Beautiful holiday park, staff great, clean and well spaced out between the lodges in the quieter part of the park, lodge was stunning, so spacious, everything you could need, fantastic, been a few times now”

“What a lovely local pub, everything that pubs used to be. It was a warm welcome with a friendly atmosphere, great selection of drinks, very reasonably priced and although I didn't eat the Sunday carvery looked delicious. I'll be back for sure to try it out .”

“Very nice pub. Friendly staff and really nice inside and out.”

“I love it! The cakes are amazing and the service is super kind, they made my day! It’s calm very nice place.”

“What a gem of a local pub! Second time we have been here now and it has never failed to falter. The staff are amazing and so helpful and accommodating. Regulars in the the bar area are friendly and chatty. And the food is to die for. If its not on the menu, they will try to find it for you anyway. This is the only place we will eat now in Wem. Cheers guys”

“Great food and drink at a good price”

“Outstanding food. Piping hot, freshly cooked, excellent quality and great value. Will definitely be back.”

“Went here for a relative’s 40th birthday. Lovely space on the first floor for big parties. The pizzas and pasta are delicious here and very well priced! Authentic Italian food. Service is superb, we had someone who wasn’t happy with their order, didn’t realise it would be so plain and the staff immediately bought out a difference pizza on the house - never seen service like it! Very good restaurant and plenty of tasty sounding dishes on the menu! Highly recommend, nice little Italian in the middle of Shrewsbury! I had the garlic chilli spaghetti which was delicious with a nice strong kick!”

“Walked into a very traditionally styled pub/restaurant. Bar staff were very friendly with quick service on a Friday afternoon. Ordered food and drinks. Of course we got a great offer with a full card of stamps from the loyalty app. Food service was quick and servers were super friendly and couldn't do enough for us. I'd like to give them ladies a special mention and thank you for making our visit very pleasant indeed. Overall very pleased and shall be returning soon.”

“We’ve finally found our favorite spot in Shrewsbury—and it’s The Boathouse! This place truly has it all: breathtaking views, a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, and delicious food and drinks. The location is unbeatable, right by the river with picture-perfect views of the water and the bridge. On sunny days, there’s nothing better than sitting outside, soaking up the sunshine with a cold beer or cider in hand. It’s so peaceful watching the ducks and swans glide by, birds flying overhead, and people kayaking along the river. It really gives you that holiday feeling without ever leaving town. On our first visit, I tried lamb for the very first time and went for the Moroccan Lamb Tagine—absolutely packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. We also had the BH Burger, which was juicy, tasty, and very satisfying. The food overall was fantastic and clearly made with care. The staff were friendly and attentive from the bar to the table. The whole experience—from the scenic setting to the great food and top-notch service—made it one of those places you want to come back to again and again. Whether you’re local or just visiting Shrewsbury, The Boathouse is a must-visit. We enjoyed every minute spent there and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!”

“Shared a birthday celebration here on Saturday, it was all so beautifully prepared the staff on duty were so helpful, professional and looked after us so well. I would definitely recommend and look forward to going there again.”
