Cafe in Shrewsbury

“We came here for our works Christmas meal. There were 30 of us and everyone loved it! The service was spot on and the food was excellent, even for such a big group. Days later people are still talking about what a lovely time they had and how good the food and service were. We'll be back next year!”

“Took my daughter out for lunch. We had sausage / bacon sandwiches, drinks and cake. We received a warm welcome and the foid, which was excellent arrived promptly. Will certainly be back to try more of the delicious sandwiches and cake.”

“If you're coeliac and want something more than a baked potato then I highly recommend this cafe, even if you're not they have such fantastic and flavoursome options that you're going to be satisfied. I had a meal a cappuccino and a cake and have to say I really enjoyed my experience. The staff were really nice and very helpful Parking in Shrewsbury is not an issue and it's a short walk away. I will return for more”

“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.”

“My little one loves going here. They have a wonderful mix of farm animals, which you can feed (the animal food to cheap here compared to other places). They also offer lamb milk feeding which is so cute. They have a barn with cars and bits in, a lovely park and a woods to walk through which help to provide variety and extend you visit. The food and drink is good quality (they have a variety of home baked goods) and for low prices.”

“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! :)”

“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).”

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

“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”

“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 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.”

“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”

“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”

“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!”

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

“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!”

“Delicious barista coffee and some lovely snacks”

“We had such a lovely meal here. The food was fresh, tasty, and came out piping hot. The staff were warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in, which made the whole experience even better. Our server really went above and beyond to make sure my family felt comfortable and enjoyed ourselves. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back again.”

“Can’t fault this place dawn and her staff are all so very welcoming it’s like your at home ,service is spot on staff remember you from past visits and food presented to a high standard, it’s such a sad shame it is closing we had heard wispers it was and asked in the hope it was just a rumour but no ,a lot of local people like myself will not find another place like this .
