"Beautifull hotel, I guess one can call it trendy , but I just don 't understand how they can justify the price £130/night and that most of the time will go to £160 as they run out of entry level ones. So I guess the answer is there because people pay for it! But let 's just make some relevant comparisons Birmingham Grand literally in the heart of the city, brand new, 5* hotel, with all recently decorated rooms to the highest standard is £135 15 for breakfast. Needless to say rooms are air conditioned, fully equipped and genuinelly very posh. Hotel has lifts, has porters and the service is top notch. The Lion is barelly 4* just for trendiness alone, but the actual quality of furnishing is closer to 3*, has no lift and you will be lugging your bags up and down mutiple flights of stairs (and I mean multiple like 8 going up and down) trought narrow corridors to mediocre room (nothing wrong with it just mediocre) which isn 't even air conditioned. Sorry, I just don 't get it. That said restaurant is good fully fine dining if you are into it. Althought in my oppinion it doesn 't fit into the rest of the hotel. So it is ~3.5* hotel which is very youghtfull and trendy and then you get 5* fine dining with very tiny portions for the dinner (which is not criticism of restaurant, it is very good on it 's own). In conclussion I just don 't get what niche this hotel is filling, who stays there and why. The price for the rooms should be £75 95 tops. Shreesbury is not exactly prime tourists destination either (at least shouldn 't). But it seems it is working out for them, I just would not recommend it, I would not stay in it again and it is definatelly not worth the price. Neither in isolation, nor in comparison."

"Booked for New Year's Eve. £69.99 per head. Service adequate but I have to say the food was not good. Pre prepared and not fresh. The amuse bouche was a piece of French bread with smoke salmon, more like a badly done canape. The Starters were accompanied by limp salad, the plates they were served on very cold evidencing they had just been sitting uncovered in a fridge. Very odd rock hard goat's cheese, and for others, 3 tiny pieces of dry sardine. As for the main, beef wellington, the fillet of beef overcooked and resembled a piece of shoe leather, I doubted it was even fillet. The pastry was raw on the inside and undercooked, and soggy on the outside. Think had been pre cooked and microwaved. Worst beef wellington I have ever seen. We all sent back and chef offered rack of lamb.Sadly this was presented raw, not rare, with huge chunks of broccoli, soggy roast potatoes and carrots. Those who ate fish said was adequate, but the spinach and ricotta filo main had by one was also raw and underdone. As for the apple tart, again some received ice cold from the fridge, others luke warm although the flavour was good. Actually spoilt New Year's Eve and we left hungry. What was even more annoying is that I believe we were not charged for 2 bottles of wine, but were expected to pay for the nasty food. I would rather have paid for the £60 wine. I will be contacting the restaurant owner for a full refund, minus the wine. I can't believe we were actually charged £75 a head for the meal, pretty disgraceful in my opinion. We actually doubted whether there was a chef in the kitchen......"

"I had heard such great things about this place and my partner decided to book a meal here for my birthday and with it being my first time at this restaurant i was expecting alot more, i had contacted the Facebook page whilst still at the restaurant a week ago and i am yet to receive a response, my comments are below uch a shame. The location and scenery are beautiful however for my first time at this beautiful restaurant and im extremely disappointing . The service was awful. I attended with my partner for my birthday and we had booked a table but on arrival we had to ask where we were to be seated in which we were advised to take a seat anywhere then we waited for ages for menus which we then had to go to the bar to ask for them. My partner arrived back at our table with the menus which where printed pieces of paper, that wouldn't normally bother me but the price you pay you expect more than this. We then had to go to the bar to order our meal as none of the staff attended our table for a long time. Whilst waiting for our food a few coupled advised us that we need good luck as they have had terrible service. When our food arrived we waited a considerable amount of time without any cutlery so my partner had to ask for it. The whole service wasn't good at all and its such a shame as its a beautiful place. I expected alot more and with it being my first time here and it being my birthday i am very disappointing. Apologies but we even had to go to the bar to settle the bill when another 2 couples had to complain about the service and had to leave without their food after waiting 2 hours for their food and it wasnt very busy. We waited over 10minutes at the bar to pay our bill to which the girls didnt even know what we had and had to ask us what we ate and one girl was very rude and didnt seem to want to be there she even had holes in her tights. Such a shame, they didnt even knwo what we had to drink let alone the food and when we advised our table number the staff had to go out to check? please may i have a response"
