"This was our first visit. From the outside it looks like a social club with the way it is built and the bowling green but once inside it was lovely. We were quickly escorted to a table which was spacious for the two of us. The staff are pleasant, helpful and want to make your visit pleasurable. Although it was lunchtime hubby decided to go for the mixed grill. He was regretting this when it arrived as it was magnificent. Steak, chicken, gammon, sausage, 2x eggs, gorgeous homemade onion rings, chips, salad, peas, large flat mushroom and tomato garnish. I had the lasagne which was also beautifully served with really fresh salad, chips and garlic bread. The bill came to around £40 which inc 2 x pints of Carling. Despite being busy the staff were always attentive. We will definately come here again, but we will make sure we are very hungry!"

I had heard great things about this restaurant, so I made a reservation for a late Sunday evening dinner. We were not disappointed; everything was delicious. We both ordered the carousel, which was wonderful. The dessert was fresh, and the bratkartoffeln were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I will definitely be going back!

We were a group of 5 and an infant. We all had carveries and enjoyed the amount of choice. We each had different combinations. The food tasted great and was plentiful. Our desserts were delicious too. We were served promptly. The only thing I could criticise was we were a table for 6 but only had 4 pieces of cutlery. Although I asked the waitress she forgot and I therefore pinched some from another table View menu

We made a reservation at this restaurant to celebrate my dad's 70th birthday with the family. The staff were fantastic and incredibly attentive, making sure we always had drinks and regularly checking in to take our orders. They also took care of the cake we brought and served it at the end of the meal. The food was delicious, with generous portions that we really appreciated. I highly recommend The Shires to anyone, and we definitely plan to return!

Meal Type: Lunch Price per Person: £20–30 Food: ★★★★★ Service: ★★★★★ Atmosphere: ★★★★★ Recommended Dishes: Sunday Carvery I had a wonderful experience dining here for lunch. The Sunday Carvery was absolutely fantastic, earning a solid five stars for the food. The service was equally impressive, as the staff were attentive and friendly throughout our visit. The atmosphere was inviting and warm, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a meal. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant!

Shire's great food, great service but it would seem if you give a tip in cash the staff get it if you pay by card and give tip on card then it goes into management after finding this out I find it unfair on the young waitresses not getting what they are owed. Such a shame after a lovely meal we won't be going again as I find this disgraceful I do hope people read this and make a point of leaving a tip in cash.

We visited on a Sunday afternoon and found it to be quite popular for a place that's off the beaten path. The staff was efficient, and we didn't have to wait long for our food. The restaurant offered great value for money with its delicious traditional pub fare. The staff was polite and attentive throughout our visit. Just a heads up: they stop serving food at 6 PM on Sundays, so make sure to arrive earlier. While we were there, at least two people inquired about available tables for later that evening, but they were fully booked. It’s clear that the restaurant is well-regarded, and we would definitely return again.

"Dinner We travelled to the area to attend my Brothers Wedding. We arrived on Friday afternoon with Dinner booked for 6:30pm that evening. We booked the Hotel based on the reviews on the Restaurant. We thought we would travel down a night early to enjoy a lovely date night at the highly rated Restaurant. The Hotel is phenomenal and we do not have a single bad word to say about both the amenities and staff of the Hotel excellent! We arrived at the San Pietro restaurant at 6:30pm for Dinner and were seated at our table. Upon arrival, our table was hounded by flies and mosquitoes. My Husband was bitten on the face by a mosquito leading to a welt developing on his face. Obviously, we cannot expect the staff to control the ecosystem, but the volume of flying creatures was certainly alarming. After ordering, we waited an hour for any food to arrive, while other tables had had several courses brought out and cleared away in this time frame. Just before the food arrived, we had finished our bottle of wine, and my Husband was naturally quite frustrated, so got up and spoke with a lovely staff member and addressed both the flies/ mosquitoes and our long wait on food. We were moved across the restaurant to another table and our food was brought out. Again, this is after an hour of waiting for our food. The food was okay. We ordered our dessert, which came out in a timely manner, ate, and left after over 2hrs of being inside the restaurant. Breakfast Again, another disappointing experience. We had upgraded to the cooked breakfast to prepare us for a long day at the Wedding. You have to pre order, and confirm a time slot to attend. We chose 9am. We were made that if we wished to cancel the cooked breakfast, it must be well in advance of our time slot we assumed this would be because the food would be ready for our appointment slot or soon after and therefore would be a waste of food to cancel too close to the appointed time slot. We arrived at 9am sharp, were not greeted for a little while, then we’re just told to take a seat at any table and take anything we’d like from the continental breakfast buffet. The buffet 3 bowels of fruit, some cereal, and some warm yogurt. We sat down for breakfast at the same time as another Gentleman also staying in the hotel. We again waited, and waited, and waited for our cooked breakfast.. The Gentleman who sat at the exact same time as us, was served his cooked food, ate, and left before our food even came out. After 45 minutes, our food arrived. Cold eggs, solid and inedible bacon, and the rest was barely warm. The food looked and tasted like it had been cooked hours earlier, and had been sat under a hot lamp for the rest of the morning. While we were attempting to eat our Breakfast, a member of the staff (we assumed one of the Chefs) was loudly selling his restaurant decorations to a group of other diners directly behind our table. They were pointing out decorations they wanted from the restaurant, one of which was a lamp located on the windowsill directly behind my Husband. The guests leaned over him to admire this, while we were eating the team member then fetched a new one from his stores for them. Obviously, the team/ staff cannot be responsible for other guests’ actions, however, we were also paying guests at both the restaurant and hotel and feel the team member who was conducting his business in breakfast restaurant should have directed the guests away from tables eating to have this interaction. Overall, extremely disappointing and not worth the hundreds of pounds we spent on the Restaurant. We paid, because we are honest and honourable people, and chose to book a table. We also cash tipped our server at Dinner, on top of the 10% service charge, because he did a fantastic job and was extremely polite and courteous. Your servers should not be subjected to complaints which have occurred due to issues out of their control which is why we made comments politely at the time, and ensured our server knew we were extremely happy with his service"
