“Big Dissapointment”
Written on: 04/04/2013 by MRS.Bev
First impression, WOW, How beautiful the restaurant is decorated and furnished to very high standard. It is a pity the food does not reflect the same high standard. It is overpriced and poor quality, 2 slivers of liver,( we all know this is CHEAPEST MEAT IN BUTCHERS) 2 Spoons of mash surrounded in gravy,NO vegetables,supposed to be bacon in the mash!!!! £12.95p. left hungry and went to local pub to fill up. Lasagne, about 2inches square with a couple of rocket leaves and a slice tomato,... (read more)

“Best experience of the year so far!”
Written on: 18/07/2012 by karenlesleylewis
My companion & I dined at The Shropshire last night (17/7/12) & had a wonderful time there. A warm welcome awaited us from the friendly & helpful waiter, who was happy to answer all our questions about the variety of menus they have on offer & the evening menu, which we were presented with. The venue was tastefully decorated, clean, light & airy & in a lovely rural setting. The choice was substantial & although one of the specials was no longer available, this was down to them using...

“undewhelming”
Written on: 20/05/2012 by rockmeamadeus
Went to celebrate two birthdays. Table was not properly cleaned before we sat down. Choice was the most limited that I have ever seen. Sunday roast was the only option. I had yorkshire pudding which was taste less and over cooked, unlike the potatoes which were under cooked. All the food was very dull. Service poor. (read more)

“A more sophisticated choice for your money”
Written on: 14/11/2011 by patandroger (1 review written)
Like - having choice in all aspects. Now Stuart and Janet own The Shropshire, they source everything to their own high standards. Like - The Shropshire options of bar food and restaurant menus. Also opportunities for speciality nights, eg gastronomic, fresh fish/seafood dishes. Like - The Shropshire Menu range which reflects quality in food sourcing, cooking and presentation. The Shropshire staff, chef and his team consistently deliver to the highest standards. They continuously review... (read more)

“Lovely atmosphere, great food!”
Written on: 11/10/2011 by smockett
We were so impressed with every aspect of this place. The decor, the atmosphere, the layout......the service couldn't be faulted. The staff were very attentive and friendly without being over the top. The menu choice was great and the food was truly the best I've ever tried when eating out. My hubby and I had recently become disillusioned with the experience of eating out, struggling to find a place that 'hit the spot'. Well now we've found it and we're going to keep on going back. I agree... (read more)

“What An Amazing Transformation!!!!!”
Written on: 17/06/2011
My aprtner and I "popped" in to The Shropshire Inn in Haughton for a quick lunch-time snack a couple of months ago and were overwhelmed at how much it had changed. The decor was lovely, the staff were very friendly and professional and above all the food was beautiful. We were tempted by the 2 course week day special (2 courses for £7.95)and after ordering were a little nervous about what we would actually get, it was only £7.95 per person after all. WELL, we soon came to realise that our... (read more)

Written on: 20/05/2011 by lynrvs (1 review written)
Attended the Shropshire for a reunion lunch with 50+ ex colleagues on the
19th of May.I can't thank Stuart and Jan for their hospitality, and the way they looked after us, nothing was too much trouble. The food and the service
was superb, and cannot be faulted.This is the first time that most of us have been to the Shropshire Inn,and from the comments I overheard, it won't be the last. Thankyou once again Stuart & Jan from Lyn & All.

What a transformation a year makes! Found sometimes we have to wait for a table because of demand but it's worth it. With comfortable seats around the bar we are able to relax with an aperitif. Great Food, excellent service, friendly and considerate staff, good choice of quality Beers and Wines. The guest beers are always good. The Fish and Chip Night and 'Jamie's' Pie Night are absolutley brilliant and worth every penny. The Sunday Carvery is mouthwatering and great value, superb meats... (read more)

Written on: 09/01/2011 by Haughton Jules (1 review written)
Yet again a triumph for Stuart, Jan and their excellent team of staff. We held a family dinner at The Shropshire last night for 12 people and were greeted with warmth by everyone. We were taken to a specially laid table to cater for our larger party and were given menus and time to choose in comfort. The starters arrived with little waiting time and as always were excellent. The table was cleared and the mains followed shortly afterwards and the same with the sweets. We weren't rushed... (read more)

Our visit to The Shropshire was the first that my husband and I had taken when invited along for a family meal; and I can only describe it as a positive experience. As we arrived we were greeted by friendly smiles from the staff which continued throughout the evening. The food was perfectly cooked and presented and the choice of desserts was also fantastic! The seating area by the bar makes for a lovely after dinner drink and the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. I shall definitely be... (read more)

Been once before for sunday carvery whilst the restaurant has been under new management and loved it, the meats were delicious and cooked to perfection. Most recently visited for dinner and had a lovely evening: the service was personal and very friendly and the food was delicious from start to finish. From what I can tell the restaurant has undergone a big turn around in recent weeks and I'd definitely go again. (read more)

Written on: 09/08/2010
Called in for a drink, but decided to eat. Husband had beef stroganoff-superb. I asked for veggie lasagne. It wasn't on the Sunday menu but the chef offered to make one fresh if I was prepared to wait 25mins. I am glad I did. It was absoltely delicious with fresh salad & the crispiest (triple fried maybe??) handcut chips I have ever eaten. So good that my husband ordered a portion also! With a large glass of chilean sauvignon blanc, sparkling water & a pint for £10. Service, quality, taste... (read more)

Lovely meal, excellent service, good choice of drinks - both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Meal sizes are excellent and service came with a smile. Staff prepared to go out of their way to make your visit enjoyable. I would recommend to others. By comparison to some places in the area this is far superior. (read more)

The Shropshire is a lovely place with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere which was apparent as soon as we walked through the door. The service was faultless and the food was delicious. There was also a separate bar to the restaurant which meant that we could eat and converse in a lovely peaceful environment but also enjoy a lively drink after. (read more)

Went to Sunday carvery at The Shropshire. Chef greeted us with a 'What can I get you mate?' and seemed a little stingy with the meat portions, gravy was very watery. Not too bad but wouldn't go again. (read more)
