The Shire Inn — Restaurant in England

I recently dined at The Shire Inn Restaurant and had a pleasant experience. The restaurant was clean and had a friendly atmosphere, which added to the overall positive impression. In terms of pricing, I found the menu to be well-priced considering the generous portions of food served.

My kid thoroughly enjoyed her meals, and the portion size was satisfying. The only minor issue was that the food was served very hot, but we quickly resolved that by allowing it to cool down a bit.

My partner ordered from the limited vegetarian menu and chose the Lasagne. While she felt that it could have been better, she acknowledged that taste preferences can vary, so it might have been a matter of personal preference.

As for me, I opted for the roast, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. The portion was substantial, and the flavours were delicious. I would definitely recommend it to others.

Lastly, I couldn't resist trying the homemade cake, which came at a cost of £5 per slice. Though it might seem a bit pricey, I found it to be worth every penny. The cake was delectable and made for a delightful end to the meal.

Overall, The Shire Inn Restaurant provided a pleasant dining experience with friendly service, well-priced meals, and delicious dishes. I would certainly visit again, especially for their mouthwatering roast and indulgent...

This is the first time I've left the shire feeling very disappointed. I got home from work today and decided to ring the shire to c if we could book a table, I rang up and asked for a table for 4 adults and a 2 year old that would need a high chair. We arrived at 5.45 and there was a little discussion with the staff over our table, we were then shown to our table, we sat down and a waitress came over and said there was a bit of a mix up with our booking and we needed to move to another table but we'd need to be done by 7pm, I said how do u expect us to get a 2 year old to rush her food!. I was quite mad and asked the barman if I could speak to a manager as it wasn't our fault that a mistake was made by staff, he had a look at the diary and said that he would sort it. A couple of minutes later a waitress came over to us and said there's another table we can move to and stay until 7.45, we were getting fed up by then and said can we stay where we're too and put the other family on that table, eventually it got sorted and we were able to order our meal. To be honest the evening felt ruined and we felt we were being watched so we rushed our meal. As soon as we finish a waiter was straight over to take our plates. We were going to order deserts but were really put off so we...

Average meal out but over priced for the food quality and service given.

When we arrived we were greeted in a warm friendly manner, and swiftly taken to our table. We required a high chair for our little boy, but was told the server would bring one when they came to collect our drinks order. Nearly 15mins went by with no acknowledgement from a server, so I had to locate the high chair myself, which was dirty, with both food and grease stains. The server eventually arrived and took drinks and food orders.

The seafood sizzler was very disappointing, only having salmon in, and a large quantity of veg. The server arrived to do the hospitality check after we had finished, so I asked the question about the seafood and what it should include. Unfortunately prawns and the other fish were missing from my "premade" portion (which lead me to believe it wasn't as fresh as I expected for the £18 paid. I was offered a free drink to apologise.

We were brought out the dessert menu but the server never reappeared, so I had to grab someone to take our order. The desserts were very tasty and good value for money.

I then had to go to the bar to pay the bill as again, the servers had disappeared.

Unfortunately won't be returning, as I felt I overpaid for both the food and...
