    Nice busy pub in Oxton Village, casual dress permitted, indoor and outdoor seating. Food is served and smells great, we didn't eat. We only stayed for an hour, everyone was friendly and good service by staff. Tables checked regularly and glasses cleared buy staff. Would visit again.

    Plenty of room between the tables, this is important when you have twins under 2. Food was lovely (only had a hot sandwich) would definitely recommend the chilli chicken. Nice pint, friendly staff, good value. Thanks, will come again,

    Disappointing, staff were very polite and helpful. Atmosphere was good, (Sunday Early afternoon). But we were not satisfied with the cleanliness of our plates when served with our food on them, to the point of having to ask for new plates as you could see they were dirty under the food, and they probably just moved the food onto a clean plate and we didn't wait another forty minutes for our food. Even the glasses where not cleaned properly (Dishwasher cleaned most likely, and not checked when being taken out) Perhaps this was a one off but either way it shouldn't of happened int he first place.

    Went with the missus for lunch. First time I'd been here. We booked for 12. We arrived at 12 and were taken to a corner table for 2. I was very warm in the corner and asked to be moved to somewhere near a window or door for some fresh air. I was told there was nothing else available, even though the place had just opened and we were first in. The lady offered to put the extractor fan on above my head, which was noisy. Even though it did eventually cool the room down a bit. Food was very nice and had good portion sizes. Will go again if I'm in the area, but don't like being told where to sit, that was the only down side.

    A nice friendly pub with a good choice of drink options. Seating in various areas to include an outdoor area and of course they are dog friendly.

  • 5/5 Sean T. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly service and great value, the food was excellent I would highly recommend the Shrewsbury Arms for a great place to eat and drink.

  • 3/5 Christopher L. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely traditional old pub, with oak beams and exposed stone walls. The place was busy when we visited and we managed to get a table. They serve food, which looked nice, but we never ordered as we were eating somewhere else . Lots of lagers on offer and just the 2 ales (Old Peculiar and Ice Breaker).

    Real nice meal. 2x gammon and a burger. The staff have been great πŸ‘ helpful when it came to getting the best discount. Nice coffee too. Definitely coming again. Whoop whoop.

  • 5/5 Abigail G. 9 months ago on Google
    One of my fave places. Nice staff. All round nice place for a drink.

  • 4/5 Trevor L. 9 months ago on Google
    Local pub in Oxton. Bit of a queue at the bar but it was a Saturday evening. I know they serve food but I was meeting friends for a drink so cannot comment about it. The Shrewsbury Arms bitter was very drinkable and reasonably priced.

  • 4/5 Glyn N. 10 months ago on Google
    Pleasant comfortable pub/eatery with quite a large beer garden allowing smokers & dogs + adjoining patrons only car park. It makes an ideal point for refreshments for anyone who has just visited the nearby Williamson Art Gallery on Slatey Rd just 3 mins drive away or Birkenhead Park just 5 mins drive away. Sorry guys I can't give you 5 stars as I aint tried the food yet but score earned on venue & location πŸ™‚

    Went for evening meal found prices a bit much for pub grub, I got the fish and chips and must have paid towards the fuel bill of their newly aquired trawler, staff are good and pleasant but regulars to this establishment need to get over themselves they very much think they are part of the old money fox hunting brigade.

  • 5/5 Elsa S. 6 months ago on Google
    Fantastic range of vegetarian and vegan options. very reasonably priced brought out all the food at the same time which was nice quite a homely atmosphere and lovely staff

  • 4/5 Geoff D. 8 months ago on Google
    Nipped in for a large glass of wine to relax and kill time. I chose Malbec which was fine but didn't warrant the hefty price tag. I sat outdoors and observed that the tables weren't being cleared or cleaned during the whole of my 40 minute stay. Otherwise a nice pub occupying a lovely position.

  • 4/5 Andrew B. 4 months ago on Google
    Fantastic atmosphere and peaceful surroundings, perfect for an evening catch up.

  • 5/5 Jan H. 2 years ago on Google
    Have not been here since before the pandemic. Very happy to be back. Usual laid back relaxed place we remember. We are going to book ourselves in for Boxing Day just like we did Christmas 2019. πŸŽ„

  • 4/5 mike c. 1 year ago on Google
    It's OK in here. It's a tight space pub with low ceilings, so it can seem busy at times. Very friendly people and staff. Pricier than other locals toward Birkenhead. Best visited in the summer when you can sit outside.

  • 5/5 Karin C. 1 year ago on Google
    Lively Pub, always a good athmosphere, highly recommend. Food and Drinks are excellent, friendly staff. Its always very well visited

  • 4/5 Julian S. 2 years ago on Google
    This place went down hill badly but there is now a new manager. It has improved immensely but haven't tried the food yet. Will give it a go soon.

  • 4/5 ian m. 1 year ago on Google
    Most excellent roast dinner, beef and Turkey.The sharing plates of chicken and home cooked nachos are equally sublime. They also serve Corona on draught

  • 5/5 Aileen K. 2 years ago on Google
    A great local pub with a fantastic atmosphere + good food. If you are from the area it is practically impossible to visit without seeing someone you know. 10/10 recommend.

  • 5/5 Steve M. 2 years ago on Google
    Rang the pub to book a lunch for 6 people (you can't book for more than 4 online). Seats in a nice cosy alcove. Had to wait 30 mins for food but it was a busy Saturday so was fine with us. Food was lovely, worth waiting, plenty of it, tasty & reasonable price. Good, friendly staff.

  • 2/5 Melanie M. 2 years ago on Google
    Honestly ... This is a cuter little pub and very popular. The food is as a rule very nice and great value for money. On occasion they do let you down. I booked a family Christmas party here paying Β£18 per head plus Al our drinks. The food and service this night was quite poor. This was going to be my dad's last Christmas and I wanted it to be special. Upon booking they said to me, we will make it special for you. They treated us like it was a basic lunch visit. Very disappointed and gutted I chose here for this very special occasion. Has left a really sour taste now.

    Staff are always so lovely and friendly. Nice place with good entertainment throughout the week. Happy atmosphere

  • 5/5 Mike E. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely local pub, with lots of character nestled in the heart of Oxton village with small cosy beer garden and ample carpark space opposite. We are regularly going for lunch and it provides great food selection and excellent service. The bar is also well stocked and has real ales on rotation.

  • 4/5 Gaz J. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice pub. Reasonable beers. Haven't eaten there so can't say anything about that. Seems very busy most of the time, which speaks for itself really.

  • 5/5 Hyacinth W. 2 years ago on Google
