    AMAZING - loved it. Booked for anniversary having never been before and was very very impressed. My boyfriend is a very fussy eater so asked if we could order off the bar menu as he wanted a burger but that wasn't allowed at evening dining and i'm actually really glad as the steak he had was the best steak we've ever had. I had a pate parfait starter and was blown away. I had the pork belly for main and loved it!! Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience here. The atmosphere was very good the waiters were very attentive and although it is a little more expensive than our average meal it was worth every penny!! Highly recommended for special occasion or a treat!

    There were 6 of us, including several 'discerning' diners. We all enjoyed a most memorable meal, the food and wine were outstanding and the staff attentive without being intrusive. I would struggle to find any adverse comment, even the bill was reasonable in view of the standard of the cuisine. What a pity that Shrewsbury is so far from home!

    Absolutely superb, sometimes its worth paying for something special, and The Lion & Phesant is certainly that. Couldn't fault a thing from the moment we walked in till the moment we left nearly 3 hours later. Exceptionally polite and professional staff and food of a standard where rather than a meal one had an experience.

    Well presented, interesting food choices. The restaurant has clearly heeded earlier criticisms of service, as the young staff were helpful and attentive. My only criticism was that a starter of Jersey Royals, asparagus and egg contained only tiny cubes of peeled potato, when the taste experience for that variety is surely based on cooking and eating it with its skin! That aside, an enjoyable evening.

    Can only say that the meal was stunning and the servers James, Ben and Beth were brilliant and couldn't ask for anything more. Great work and keep it up. Will definately return.

    We were staying near Shrewsbury and saw that this restaurant had good reviews and an interesting menu, so gave it a whirl. We didn't know the town and, driving to the restaurant, struggled to find parking, even on a Tuesday night, so apologised when we arrived late. Once we got there, we discovered a large car park immediately opposite - take note! We had a table upstairs which was very nice and service was very friendly and efficient. Food was beautifully presented and cooked and all three courses, plus amuse bouche, were delicious. This restaurant is definitely several cuts above the average and we would not hesitate to go again, should we be in the area in future.
