The Shrew - Staffordshire Moorlands

We received a lovely warm welcome at this restaurant, both us and our dog. We felt very welcomed and the food was impeccable! They even spoiled our dog.

We booked the Shrewsbury Arms on spec for a friends catch up, as it was central for our group to travel to. It was very welcoming and comfortable. The restaurant was busy, (and it was mid-week). There was a little wait for food as everything is freshly prepared. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the food was excellent. Portion size is good, which unfortunately meant I couldn’t manage a pudding! We will definitely be going back.

The best fish pie ever and believe me I have tasted many on my travels. Absolutely delicious and full of fish in a perfect sauce with a crispy topping. I cannot praise it enough so if you are a fish pie fan you need to visit the Shrewsbury Arms.

We had the most fantastic meal! Absolutely faultless! Great value for money as well. Despite it being bank holiday and it was very busy, the staff were wonderful and the service was exemplary. I wish we lived closer so we could visit more often! Wish I could give this place 10 stars!

This was our first ever visit after found this pub on Tripadvisor despite it only being 15 mins dive from us. When we arrived, the first thing I noticed was how busy it was and how young all of the staff were. These young people were ALL exemplary and could teach many of their seniors a thing or two about service. They were all lovely without gushing. We were particularly impressed by David who was relatively new but doing a sterling job. We had five courses between us. Of all five courses I could only make a minor criticism of the way that the squid had been cooked even though it was ok. Everything else was really excellent. The cherry on this cake is the deserts which are all made on the premises; none of the pub standard freezer to microwave rubbish! They had three real ales on tap which all seemed to be kept well. We will be back!
