We booked a meal here with our sons and their partners on the basis of some of the earlier reviews. Our experience was contrary to earlier reviews and how one reviewer can compare this place with a michelin star establishment beggars belief. The food here is very average; don't expect anything better. More

We had an enjoyable evening here, sadly a bit quiet for a Saturday night and not over-warm, but at least you could enjoy chatting and actually hear each other. Those in our party who had soup and steaks had a lovely meal, but those that ordered the pan fried garlic prawns were sadly very dissapointed ... normally it is the... More

Our walking group went here for our Christmas lunch - so there were over 40 of us. We still had a wide choice of menu, the staff were sufficiently organised to get orders by table so the food was served piping hot. Very nice too. We'll be going back to try the normal menu More

We visited the Yockleton Arms on a Wednesday evening offer of a three course menu for £15.95 per person. The choice of courses was from the regular a la carte menu and there was no reduction in portions or quality. As we have visited this restaurant on many occasions our normal outlay would be approximately £25 per head for the... More

It was a quiet, wet Tuesday night but we had an excellent meal and enjoyable evening. The menu has lots of interesting choices and you could have a real blow out or just a light snack. Plenty of vegetarian and fish options too. The garlicy sauted potatoes were especially good. A young couple, who are both chefs, run it and... More

I was looking for a place to meet up with friends around Shrewsbury and read the reviews on Trip and though it ideal. Wasnt prepared for how good it was. The decor is right on trend and the menu very exciting for a Sunday. The service was exceptional and the food was just fabulous. I will definately make the 50... More

The Yockleton Arms in my humble view is the best restaurant in North Shropshire. At the risk of sounding like a pompous prat, my wife and I live in London and do like to dine in some of the top end restaurants. I won't claim this place is the new Hibiscus but the food is certainly on a par if... More

This is one of favourite places to go if we want more than a good pub meal and not a very formal restaurant. There is always a warm welcome and you feel that your custom and comments are valued. The food is always of excellent quality and there is a good selection of wines and beers. There are often different... More

I was a bit dubious about returning to the Yockleton Arms after a visit about 5 years ago which was one of the worst meals of my life. I was assured the place had changed hands since then and I'm pleased to say the new owners have changed the place beyond recognition. Both food and service were amazing, highly recommended. More

The yockleton arms had been closed for refurbishment the week before. My partner and I walked in and the place had been transformed into a contemporary restaurant with feature wall papers yet is managed to keep its traditional look. Not an easy balance for places to master. We had very prompt and excellent service. We sat down by the roaring... More
