After seeing some exceptional plates of food on their socials we couldn?t wait to re-visit the independently owned @lionandpheasant perfectly positioned at the bottom of Wyle cop, one of Shrewsburys most iconic streets.??4/5Recommend??Price ???We were greeted at reception and led through the bar to a cosy table next to a roaring log fire. Kicking off proceedings with a well crafted cocktail and home baked bread with whipped wild garlic butter.Unusually for us we opted for the same starter. Brined and blow torched scallops, green onion emulsion. We were a little confused with the plating and balance of ingredients. The squid ink cracker lay over the bowl hiding a soup like, rich oily emulsion. Having to hunt for the scallop, which should be the main attraction, but sadly appeared to be one scallop sectioned into three small pieces in a sea of emulsion was disappointing. The stale cracker brought nothing to the dish and was pretty inedible. The scallop itself melted in your mouth and the crispy tempura mussels brought a great pop of texture. Skilled fish cookery but worlds apart from the plating we were expecting after seeing such a beautiful representation on instagram.Sous vide chicken was succulent, whilst the dauphinoise could have done with some colour and crispness to the top layer. Due to the plating again lacking finesse it was hard to identify the Jerusalem artichoke or the spinach purée, these flavours were lost under the bold jus gras.A mighty piece of pan fried cod with crispy skin, salt and vinegar potatoes, samphire and pea tartare. This was everything you would hope for in an elevation of a Friday night chippy tea complete with fiery curry sauce.While we may have set our expectations a little high we enjoyed a good standard of food during our visit to the Lion and Pheasant. Execution of some dishes left room for improvement however the front of house manager took our feedback graciously and removed the starters from the bill. Overall an enjoyable evening with a relaxed vibe and the option of post dinner drinks next door at the fabulous @ernest_co#theshropshirefoodies #shrewsbury

Stayed in The Stables apartment. It?s a fabulous location positioned right in the town centre. The apartment is perfect for families with all the facilities you would ever need. Very clean, good showers and comfy beds. We had breakfast one morning in the restaurant which was excellent apart from burnt croissants which were disappointing. Beware driving into the carpark. I got it wrong and scraped the car on the gatepost. Grrr!

Rooms: Nice rooms, but a bit o trek to locate your room at first

We had a lovely valentine's meal. The food was absolutely delicious, good quality ingredients and reasonable portion size. The ambience was created by the modern interior infused with traditional features and sympathetic lighting . The service was excellent and not at all rushed considering that we were one of the last tables to be seated that night.A great more refined establishment.

Lovely venue, bar and restaurant - a staple for Shrewsbury. However the portion sizes for dinner are just...laughable. Taster menu - or Michelin style, fine dining portions - for £25-£30 plus, where the only way to ensure you eat enough for dinner is to supplement your dish with an additional two sides minimum to ensure you don't leave hungry, just isn't great. That's not to say the food isn't good - it is - but the portions are simply unforgivably small for the cost of a dish. The ambience is excellent on a school night - ensure you're not dining in the bar on a weekend night as it can get quite hectic with the crowd making their way up the cop.

Difficult access within hotel, lots of very steep and narrow stairs.

Just got back from the sunday deal and it has been so lovely - the food is amazing (we won't need to eat for days lol - sunday sharer roast is incredible as was the breakfast) the room was beautiful and warm (curtains a bit light but that was all) and the staff were all so lovely. Beautiful old building with lots of areas to chill and very close to the centre. It was raining so we didn't go as far as we would have liked but hopefully we will come back. Just a massive thank you!

Booked the Lion and Pheasant based on its good reviews and we weren't disappointed. They offered us their Sunday night deal of dinner, bed and breakfast for £119. We had an upgraded room with superb facilities, clean and fresh with a very comfortable bed. We enjoyed tea and a mince pie on arrival in the bar and later enjoyed quite the most delicious dinner we have had in ages. All the ingredients cooked to perfection with their own flavours which when combined danced on the palate. Despite being full we were both tempted by the dessert menu and succumbed to exquisite dishes, made to perfection. Breakfast was no less of a culinary masterpiece ? ? That set us up for a lovely day sightseeing the area. We will definitely return.
