"On Sunday, October 29th, 2017, my wife, two friends, and I went to The Red Lion at Longden Common in Shrewsbury. I had made a reservation for four people at 1:00 PM the previous week. When we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Rachel, the landlady, who made us feel very welcome. We were seated at our table in the conservatory, which was almost full (a good sign of good food). Our drinks were quickly served, and a friendly server took our meal orders. I started with white bait as a starter, followed by lamb shank. My wife and friends had potato leek soup followed by roast beef. The white bait was served on a bed of salad and was delicious. The lamb shank was excellent, and I heard the roast beef was also very good. The vegetables were plentiful, and we were offered more gravy and vegetables during our meal. Despite being big eaters, my friend and I couldn't finish all the vegetables, but they were all cooked perfectly and tasty. After a short break, we had trifle for dessert, which was a special creation by Rachel and was amazing. I cannot describe it - you must try it yourself! The meal was so good that I asked to speak to the chef, something I've never done before. Two lovely ladies came out from the kitchen and introduced themselves. I thanked them for the delicious Sunday dinner, which truly was a gourmet experience. We can't wait to visit again soon. Well done to Rachel and her staff!"

Visited with my running club on a summer evening. Plenty of short, middle and ling distance routes to choose from through pleasant varied countryside. Returned to the bar for an excellent and innovative buffet. Good food, well prepared with friendly, helpful staff taking real care to ensure each customer had a good experience and fresh food. Liked the layout of the pub, with plenty of separate sitting areas inside and out.

This charming family-owned pub has a lot of character. It has a cozy, traditional atmosphere where everyone is treated like a friend. As soon as you walk in, you feel welcomed and everyone is eager to strike up a conversation. The drinks are affordable and the food menu looks delicious (though we didn't try it). We even brought our dog on a Friday night and they were very accommodating. Our furry friend received a lot of attention and sparked many conversations. We will definitely be returning to this pub.
