Parkers - Shropshire

There is nothing to complain about with this restaurant. The service, food, and atmosphere are all fantastic. The prices are very reasonable and they also offer an early bird menu. I highly recommend this place.

Having never visited The Sweeney, but hearing great things we decided to give it a go for the first time. The location and building were beautiful and gave me hope for a delicious meal. The service up until our meal arrived was exactly what I would of expected but when our food arrived the excitment turned to disappoinment. Over cooked steak, fish and pork, microwaved mash to the point it was hard. Frozen chips, advertised as hand cut chips......the list goes on. The waitress was however very curtious when we complained and took items off our bill. I don't know if the chef was overworked or having a bad day. But the place could be amazing if the kitchen and bar were of the standard of the waiting on staff.

If you look at Sweeney Hall, the drive to Sweeney Hall, the scenery, the restaurant table... you would expect a five star restaurant with five star meals. Sadly it isn't. The reception was okay, waitresses were friendly and the food was certainly good food. But you would expect more of it. It is now rated 17th out of 91 restaurant on tripadvisor for Oswestry. I haven't tried the other 90 off course but i can imagine that there are 16 beter price/quality restaurants in the area.I wouldn't recommend against it as it was indeed good food and a lovely scenery. They also made a special posh like fish and chips kids menu for the 8-year old in our group. Had 5 2-course meals (1 kid, 4 grown-ups) without wine for 120£.

We were on our way home from a holiday and phoned to book a table for 10. We wanted to sit outside as it was a beautiful day and we had our dogs with us. Despite very short notice, less than 2 hrs. when we arrived the staff had set a table outside for us. The service was excellent despite it being busy and the food was outstanding as usual. There was even a bowl of water for the dogs. It was the perfect end to a lovely holiday. We have had christenings, birthday parties and many family celebrations here over the past 20 yrs. and have never been disappointed. The hotel is set in beautiful surroundings and has a relaxing, friendly atmosphere. Many thanks once more to Sean and his team.

Have eaten at the Sweeney on many occasions as a couple, with friends and family and with business colleagues and it never fails to tick every box. Not an easy feat when sometimes Sean and his excellent staff have a wedding in one room a full restaurant in another and people eating in the bar. This time it was with my family in the bar. I won't bore you with our choices just say that although we all had different things everything across the board was EXCELLENT. Steaks sourced locally were juicy and tender homemade puddings were mouth wateringly delicious make sure you leave room for a pud! Not an easy task as portions are good. Service was superb Kristian one of Sean's children is the Front of house manager he's one to watch a charming young man. All in all a wonderful time was had by all and we left with full tummies and a wallet that hadn't suffered any pain! 10 Stars for Sean his Son and his stafg
