The place is a lovely old building, modernised and updated but in a manner that is both stylish ad sensitive to the building's character, leaving much of the old charm with exposed wooden beams, stonework, and old fireplace. This gives a comfortable and pleasant ambience. The food was excellent. Roast duck and lamb, with appropriate trimmings were excellent - perfectly cooked (5 stars). Parsnip and chestnut soup was divine (5). The Christmans pudding tart was also excellent and a slightly different take on the usual Christmas pudding. We had outstanding local cask ales in excellent condition, as well as cocktails.

I would stop by Shrewsbury just to eat here again. What gorgeous food and drink!…read more This is the only place in the Midlands that I've had such a stunning and authentic martini to date. That is a major credit to the bar and staff here, as finding a good martini is something I am constantly attempting but also being continually disappointed by, especially in this region of the UK. My party and I came here for dinner in the Christmas season while in Shrewsbury. This was one of my favorite dinners in the whole of the Midlands, if not the supreme winner overall. Though on the pricier side, everything to the last detail was expertly crafted and delicious. Also, the service was lovely and inside the restaurant comfortable and festive- we enjoyed sitting next to a wood fire! It stayed relatively quiet for the duration of our meal as well, which was nice. We had three different entrees: I enjoyed the sirloin of steak and the other members of my party had the duck breast and the lamb. I tried their dishes and every single thing was marvelous. Unfortunately, we didn't get too many photos as we were all busy chowing down! My steak was cooked perfectly, tender, and flavorful. Each accompaniment also boasted such lovely qualities. For dessert I enjoyed the bread pudding which was absolutely delectable. If in the area you simply must try this lovely establishment for an exquisite dinner.

There's everything from Mussels to sizzling skillets, pies and grills. Food here is all homemade and great value. Huge portions too. I had a mixed grill on my last visit which included steak, gammon, pork chop, lamb chop, sausage, black pudding, eggs, onion rings, Tomato, mushrooms, peas and their amazing homecut chips. £9.45. Bargain! My Other half had a burger (again) where he could choose 3 toppings from a list. Also served with chips and was around £6.50. Drinks are very reasonable and this place is a must if you're nearby. It's gaining a brilliant reputation and you'll need to book at the weekend.

Judi & I stayed here in March 2008 and ended up dining here six nights out of seven - i.e. the food IS GOOD! Rooms are a little old fashioned but are charming - especially those overlooking the River Severn (Rooms 1 & 7). Judi & I stayed in Room 7 and were very happy with it. Popular bar with good selection on offer. Owner is charming and friendly as are his staff. Well worth a stay or just a meal.

We had a very nice stay at the historic old Prince Rupert Hotel when in Shrewsbury…read more The hotel is very old and part of this old character is very evident. The place is rambling, with numerous hallways, sloping floors, and one very old wooden staircase, all of which is part of the charm of places lie this for me. Some rooms have a lot of old character, although others do not. The lobby area was modernised and is now somewhat bland, but it is still nice, attractive, and comfortable. The rooms were comfortable and our room still had some old exposed beams, but otherwise was modernised, mostly in a somewhat bland style, but still nice and it was pretty large with a good bathroom and fixtures. Staff were nice, a glass of port was provided on checking in. Breakfast was in the lovely dining hall and including continental buffet plus a very good cooked breakfast/full English. The location is excellent, in the heart of the old town a short walk from everything, but on a quiet street. We had a nice view onto characterful old Fish Street from our room.

Not here. The room was spacious with a huge separate bathroom which contained a jacuzzi bath and a separate shower.

Given the choice, I'd stay here again without a second thought.

This hotel's strongest asset is its location and view, one should realize that everything else is much older.

We had requested food for 25 people and they provided sandwiches and other finger food as well as served tea and coffee which was great, but the room provided for us definitely wouldn't have sat 25 people - luckily only about 15 people attended the after services. The bartender was friendly enough although a bit unskilled at her craft and had some problems recommending replacement items when some of us requested specific beers etc.
