What bladethedaywalker likes about Red Lion:
My husband and I visited the Red Lion Pub in Shrewsbury after it was renovated in May/June 2023 and we were very impressed. The new interior was modern and inviting, creating a lovely atmosphere. As a vegetarian, I was happy to see a range of options on the menu. The food we ordered was served hot and tasted fantastic, even during the peak hours. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience. View all feedback. What Paul Johansing doesn't like about Red Lion:
The food had hair in my pudding. Main had enough for about 3 mouth fulls. Had to wait a long time for the pudding. Need to get better staff especially in the kitchen View all feedback.

After a recent renovation, a once-beloved restaurant fell short on service and food quality. Dishes were served cold or overcooked, causing several patrons to consider sending them back. Slow service, disorganization, and lack of attention to detail added to the disappointing experience. However, on a positive note, a group celebrating a birthday received special treatment at the Red Lion, where attentive staff made the occasion memorable. Despite some hits and misses, the overall atmosphere was welcoming and family-friendly. While some diners had a less than desirable experience, others found great value in the food offerings and friendly service at this pub.
