1792 Bar Grill - Shrewsbury

We pre warned the hotel about my wife’s dietary requirements and clearly didn’t take note. Struggled to choose from the menu which was disappointing. Think in this day and age it’s not a lot to ask.

We ate there for two evenings. The menu is limited but all the dishes we had were of a high quality. The service was efficient and friendly. On the first night there were several large groups of men who became rather loud but as the dining space is quite large, this was not too intrusive. We also ate breakfast there on three mornings. The cooked breakfast was fresh and of a good quality. There was a limited choice if like me, you didn't want cooked breakfast only 2 cereals, only natural yoghurt. On day two, the fresh fruit ran out and there was no white bread , at the time that we ate.

Made very welcome from our arrival, as soon as we were sat at our table the waiter provided menus right away asked if our two dogs needed water, this we thought was a nice touch. Our food arrived promptly was very tasty. Both the waiter waitress were very pleasant made us feel valued the whole time.

Lovely food, delicious and well presented. One course was £22 two courses £29. A little pricey for us as we stayed two nights. But it was a well deserved treat. Very helpful staffs. Beautiful modern settings. Comfortable. We will come back as the hotel is absolutely lovely, spotless and good on prices. Dog friendly place too. Beautiful views.

The food was outstanding. We went as a couple overnight as we were having a day at the nearby Follies. We eat out quite a lot and we were very impressed. My husband had the ham hock for starter and I had the camembert probably the best baked camembert I’ve had and I have had a few! We both had the pork belly with veg and black pudding mash, devine! I had posset and my husband had cheese for pudding. Can’t fault it. In terms of ambience I should probably reinforce that this is a golfing hotel. It was full of large groups of male golfers probably three women diners including me. Didn’t bother me really but it was a bit surprising that there weren’t more couple of mixed groups. The service was good but fell down on some basics which you would expect in a formal setting no water on tables, when moved from the seating area to the table we carried our own drinks whilst the waiter didn’t offer to help which was a balance! Told to get our own wine list by the bar would have been intimidating for me as it was packed out with male golfers all enjoying their pints (nothing wrong with that just saying! . Would I go again? Definitely but maybe take some ladies with me too to balance up the ambience. Can’t fault the food though.
