I had 2 vouchers for a three course meal at the Lion Hotel in Shrewsbury and took my son with me. I phoned to book the table the night before and was told that it was fully booked when I explained that it was my son's birthday, they said they could squeeze us in. We arrived 30 minutes before and... More

The starters were alright although I did not think the choice was wonderful. I did ask for mine with out olives but to no avail. The roast beef needed a steak knife to cut it and unfortunately I had to leave the majority of mine as it was not edible. On complaining I was offered another piece of meat but... More

Incorrect starter; very dry roast potatoes; hard vegetables. One plate of veg between EIGHT of us. We had to go and ask for a cruet. No Gravy. One of our party couldn't finish his fish because the whole thing was very dry and tasteless. Two the the desserts came about 10 or more minutes after everyone else had finished theirs.... More

I got too much old, but no modern amenities. Extremely noisy, because of no secondary glazing! Yes we must keep the old for posterity, but make... More

The breakfast was good and catered for my needs being vegetarian. The location of the hotel is perfect as is in walking distance of all... More

Booked a deal at this hotel, we enjoyed the Hotel (creaky floorboards all upstairs but adds to atmosphere of being in an old hotel) we also enjoyed visiting Shrewsbury , it has lots of different shops to the usual, nice restaurants all in all a brilliant time was had by the four of us.

Spacious bar with very comfortable old furniture and small rooms to creep away to for privacy. Eclectic menu of bar food - ordered bread selection which never arrived, being overtaken by main dish, so we cancelled bread. Five sweet selections, one of which we were immediately told was unavailable. Chose another, ordered it and told after some time that this... More
