Reviews in Shrewsbury

My friend and I chose the Tilley Raven as a halfway meeting point for a bite to eat and catch up. I had not been there beforehand so didn't know what to expect. The staff were friendly and service was good. We agreed that the food we had was nice (I had rump steak cooked rare and my friend had the (slice) of steak pie which was tasty). It was a busy evening and most tables were occupied which is great to see on a Tuesday evening and after the last year, however as the room is open plan and with wooden floors it lends itself to being quite noisy especially if there's a large group celebrating at the next table! Maybe next time we meet we'll chose somewhere a wee bit quieter for a natter

Had a really great meal at The Tilley Raven last night for our 6th Wedding Anniversary, I tasty mussel starter and a brilliant rare steak , followed by a choc brownie. Food was great. Service was excellent. :)

They managed to fit in a party of 16 with only 48 hours notice ( 90th b'day) The food was lovely and plentiful and all the staff were pleasant and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them

I really don't know where to start. We went for Sunday lunch here and as soon as we arrived it was a nightmare. The young barmaid took our order of drinks which was a pint of bitter, half a lager and lime and a JD and coke with ice. She then asked if we would like ice in all of the drinks? I just pretended I didn't hear it. 3 times we had to send the drinks back. After waiting 50 minutes for our food the landlord then asked if we ordered the beef baguettes to which I replied no we ordered 2 beef dinners and one pork. You should know this as you took the order. After waiting another 20 minutes our food finally arrived. I asked the young lad where was our potatoes and roasts to which he replied we don't have any in as delivery didnt arrive. What's a roast without potatoes. The meal was stone cold and the manager said don't worry it's all free of charge. Even tho the meal was free we still got up and walked out. I advise everyone to avoid this place and go elsewhere. Staff were understandings but it totally ruined the day.

Lovely home cooked food.

Sunday Lunch menu - poor No Starters - Was offered cauliflower cheese (which was on main meal) Meal was served swimming in gravy - never known that with any meal out! Disappointing as our local pub Staff were friendly

Popped in for Sunday lunch. My sons Raven burger was amazingly good! Before we’d left was eager to return! Be nice to see some midweek offers to encourage more frequent visits. Will return.

Mind bogglingly foul mussels, weird tasting BBQ ribs and chips smothered in cheap truffle oil with coarse grated parmesan like it was cheese on toast. Don't even consider it. Since being taken over this pub does not do good food.

Our food was simply beautiful very tasty and the steaks were cooked to perfection! the staff were very helpful and well mannered and are a credit to the place .

Me and my partner came for a meal Wednesday evening and was really impressed with the meal and the staff. On arrival we was informed that some of the items on the menu were unavailable but that didn’t put us off one bit. We both enjoyed a 12 oz gammon and the meal was spot on and value for money. The barman/waiter was training a young member of staff and we was really impressed how he was talking her through everything and making her feel at ease . We will 100% be returning in the not so distant future

Main course was very good, however I was disappointed with the Eton mess. I expected strawberies and whipped cream and meringue and instead received meringue, a few black currants in yoghurt. Service was good. Thanks

I took my friend there for Lunch and the food was spot on, very nice and the pub itself was in a great location, all the staff were very friendly and helpful, we will definitely be returning as there was so many different things we wanted to try.

The food was lovely very tasty. I had the Raven burger which was amazing. Very good value. My friend had a mix of thing as a main - wings, cauliflower cheese and truffle and parmesan chips which she enjoyed. The only thing that let it down was the service. The pub wasn’t that busy and we waited ages to order - admittedly we weren’t ready when the lady first came over but it was very difficult to get her attention. No one asked if our food was ok or if we needed more drinks - we did! When we finally got drinks our dirty plates were left in front of us. No offer of dessert. Our plates weren’t cleared until we asked for the bill. There were 2 members of staff on neither of which seemed to be overly busy. A shame really as it would have been a fantastic evening. Would think twice about going again.

We went to The Raven at Tilly last night for the first time after hearing good reviews about the food. Unfortunately we were disappointed with the food and the service received. Despite there being plenty of spare tables, the service was slow. We waited for almost an hour from sitting down to actually eating our meal. The meal was very average (gammon over cooked). I asked for blue cheese sauce and was really disappointed with it - £2.50 got me a tiny jug half full of watery sauce. After asking for the bill, we left the cash on our table and waited for our change. After waiting for over 20 minutes (and staff walking past us to clear empty tables), we had to go up to the bar to get our change. I’m afraid won’t be going again.

Excellent food, excellent service

Came for lunch with friends on a Tuesday. The pub itself is lovely with some nice tables in front which catch the sun. The staff were very friendly and the drinks and ordering food was quick and efficient. We did have a long wait for the food though in,by then, a very quiet pub. The 2 men had the chicken ,ribs combo and both were happy with portion size and taste. The fish and chips were declared delicious and the special homemade lasagne was tasty but singed and the garlic bread dry. Puddings were enormous but I think the ice cream was poor, the flavours were strange and the chocolate powdery. They ought to go for a local farm made one like Moo Thru at Whitchurch which is something special and would be delicious and would be a good selling point. We had a pleasant meal and the price was competitive. We will definitely be back.
