Best Contemporary British Restaurants in Shrewsbury

Thankfully no background music, just the happy hubbub of people enjoying themselves and the superlative food. The staff are so friendly, knowledgeable and relaxed, completely professional and helpful. Always a great experience here, lovely surprises with imaginative food beautifully presented. It was a cold day outside, but inside all was cosy and comfortable, never pretentious but thoughtful. .

Once again, it was an outstanding visit. It starts when you are recognised as a regular at the door and are given your choice of table without the need to queue. Then, when taking your order, they already know what you drink. Third, the food is fantastic: Buddha bowl, fried chicken, fries and scrambled egg on toast. All polished off with gusto. Finally, their coffee is the best I have tasted. Love this place. Love the team. Love the food.

This is an outstanding restaurant of superb quality. Great for special occasions. Tom Shepherd and his team serve a tasting menu which consists of high quality ingredients that they seem to have extracted the maximum flavour from. Usually with a tasting menu there are one or two courses that you like a little less - but not here. All courses are, quite simply, excellent. Who knew we would be such big fans of beetroot gazpacho? You really need to taste it for yourself to appreciate how wonderful it is ...and the scallop..and the fish...and everything else really. My partner (designated driver) had the matched non alcoholic pairings and loved them -The mixologist has clearly done an excellent job Also, staff were very helpful and responded to my queries quickly when I was trying to secure a booking in the first place. Excellent customer service all round. If we were local we would definitely come here more often.

Fabulous dining experience. Delicious food and friendly prompt service. Really enjoyed and will definitely return!
