Reviews in Shropshire

I booked for my daughters 18th weeks in advance, specifically asking for the back room. An email back said this was fine. Four days before our reservation I got a phone call stating we'd been moved for a bigger table, but due to short notice nothing I could do. Girl on the phone was quite dismissive and more concerned with who'd emailed me, rather than our inconvenience. Food on the night was absolutely amazing and couldn't fault it. The waiter, was very friendly and helpful, and couldn't do enough for us. However, some of the waitresses were not as welcoming . Would still eat there again, as food very nice

We had a great evening last night with friends at Rib eye. The food for all 4 of us was absolutely stunning, the quality ,tenderness and taste of all Steaks was up there with some of our best Steaks. Service with very friendly staff was lovely. Good to chat with the owner afterwards. We will definitely be back, all the best with the business Great to have an independent Steak Restaurant in Shrewsbury.

Visited The Smoky Cow on recommendation from a work colleague. It was well worth the visit, pleasant staff, nice beer and superb food. Definitely coming back Really enjoyed the visit See you soon

OMG the food, the service was second to none the atmosphere, music was perfect. Me, my husband and daughter have been waiting forever for a steak place to open in shrewsbury and this is perfect. Thank you for being so attentive we will return.

We had a lovely meal - the prawn crackers were delicious ! Food is very fresh tasting and full of flavour. A good selection of specials some spicy some not so. We love the deep fried icecream.

Very impressed brought it for a Xmas gift for family really impressed afternoon tea was fab would recommend and will return.

As always, quite magnificent.

Fabulous meal and great service.

First visit Jan 25 2026 to mark our son's 18th, his chose. I'd been the restaurant before in it's previous guises and was pleased to see the unique atmosphere created by the room still remains. A warm welcome and a excellent advice from our server on what cut was what, so we opted for a Cote de Bouef, medium rare which was cooked to perfection and left the 4 of us more than substantiated. Excellent starters as well. We highly recommend.

Went here yesterday for Afternoon Tea for 6 of us. Great hidden away pub overlooking the river. Waited quite a while for the food, but staff are very attentive and pleasant. Food really good and well worth the visit, something different than the usual afternoon tea. Would definitely go again.

I honestly can put fault this small pub/restaurant every time myself and my wife have eaten here the food has always been amazing and the staff are always super polite and attentive! Will be coming back for sure
