The Beacon - Shrewsbury

I called ahead to reserve a table for a party of 5 and probably also their parking (run in the front, exit from the back) was quite busy, which was a good sign (there are on street places around the residential area behind the pub, when the park is full) when entering we were shown on our table, which was already bloomed with spicy and menus chosen a good one. it is a beautiful open environment with high ceilings and distant tables; some tvs were with different shows, but mute so it wasn't intrusive, and the whole place didn't seem loud. I chose the torte, which was a hearty round single steak-ale, which was a good rich inner (which was just as good as I found the accompanying pot of gravur a little thin) and with heaps (sweet) and chips (krepp and dry as I like it). there is an option of maic, but I like to dive chips into the cake. my colleague had fish n chips, a good size portion with dry tight dough, a pot of muddy heaps and a separate tartar sauce. others had veggie lasagne (no vegetarian) served with garlic bread and a good charalate they enjoyed immensely. also was selected to make ham, eggs and chips a few thick slices cold ham, two fried eggs and many chips for a fairly large plate. I also enjoyed the beer: they had a fair selection, and although it was quite busy (good 75% occupancy) the waiters stayed by to make sure that our drinks were filled up. Although I only saw two or three waiters in the participation, they seem to be quite good to get all the tables and keep service levels high for everyone who eat there.

Beautiful fish and chips with our two neighbors. nice to see the place. good food. great staff, especially emily, who looked after us so well.

I went to a late lunch with my daughter as nearby pub, we often left (again). the menu looked quite comprehensive and our selection was plentiful and tasty. staff very polite and helpful.

Friendly staff, good service and good food, very cheap also. what is not to like!

The quiz on a Sunday evening is thoroughly recommended. Well run and a great atmosphere. The bar staff are fantastic too.
