The Wingfield Arms - Shrewsbury

Thought that we'd The Inn a try. Sadly not the best of decisions suspect the food was frozen as opposed to fresh, certainly the fish was. Been previously for Sunday lunch which was fine. Maybe that we were the only table having lunch spoke volumes!

They didn't have what we wanted on the menu. service was very slow it took one hour 30 minutes for a main course and a pudding. food seemed expensive for what we had and small portions. There are better places to eat.

Perhaps the owners are new and they are still trying to get established. We were the only diners that lunch time. The food appears to be bought in and included oven chips and frozen peas. The fish, gammon and scampi were over cooked and the batter on the fish was soggy. It was served on cold plates. I should have said something at the time but it was a social occasion and I could not bring myself to make a complaint. Two days a later we had lunch at a pub less than 10 miles away where the food was excellent but the price was the same. I note that the Wingfield Arms also does a Sunday lunch, perhaps that is better.

2nd visit during our holiday locally and the waitress (daughter of the chef I believe) was even friendlier and more cheerful than the first waitress and that was a high level to match! Lovely place and lovely food.

So, we 1st went to Oxon Priory but that was just shocking. Called here to get in, yes we can squeeze you in. NOBODY else there.!! Noticed Carvery ended at 4pm arrived @4:20. Great, asked the question, can we still have a Carvery. Yes no problem. Talk about stingy portions. Ok we were the last customers for food (apart from the staff) meat was dry and chewy. After the staff had there pickings the food was just binned. I mean really!!! No real ales. Dated décor and talk about the toilets!! Let's not. Being truly honest, im sure it's a good Sunday lunch just don't go late in the afternoon
