Go there a lot. Always very friendly and is generally great food and great service. Love the garden, which is now covered and is dog friendly. Joins onto their sister wine bar Ernest & Co which is also great with a different vibe and food choice

Hotel was okay. Dirty in some places. We had asked for a river view and told that's fine and put in a room facing the street. Breakfast was incredible, major credit to the chef there. Desk staff were disinterested, no conversation or enthusiasm. Not worth the money paid.

Booked for dinner. 2 meal course. The food was outstanding for Shrewsbury standards. Our mains slightly on the cold side, but we think this was because they had a private garden party and the waitresses team was preoccupied and weren't keeping an eye on what was coming out of that kitchen. I feel after the pandemic our expectations are higher than before especially as we know we can do better at home.
That's why it's a 3 and not a 5 star review for service. I know you are exhausted dear hospitality professionals but remember with cost of living crisis, customers expect much much more than ever before as we pay to attend something special.

The food was really good, it was roast dinner and was cooked great and enjoyable. Wine connoisseur was super helpful and kind. But. we were over charged by 52 and was not offered any apology/ explanation on return. Random things were added to our bill. Personally I would be mortified if I overcharged customers by 50+ but nope. Not impressed. Glad I looked at the receipt
