The Loopy Shrew

"We visited the Loopy Shrew after being let down last minute for our booking at the Peach Tree for our trustee christmas lunch. We called yesterday morning and they accommodated us straight away and got us booked in short notice for a party of 7. When we were there the staff were attentive and lovely, the food was gorgeous and it was a great experience and atmosphere"

"Had seen the posts and foodie shots so had to give it a try when we visited. Nice and easy to get to and great central location. We can highly recommend the cocktails (£9 and upwards) as we had a fair few really interesting and cool flavours. The food was good, well presented and good sized portions. The dessert menu on the night was a smidge uninspiring (usual stuff) and a couple menu items were unavailable so we opted for dessert cocktails."

"The food was nice and the portions were generous, however the service wasn’t great. One of the waiters wiped the table, however it still had bits of food on it when we sat down. Food took about 40 minutes, which I wouldn’t have minded if we were told on arrival that there was a wait for food. Once we had finished our food, we waited ages again for our table to be cleared. Numerous of times members of staff looked at our plates and walked past. Once one of the waitresses finally cleared our plates I asked for the bill and requested for the 10% service charge to be taken off the final bill as I wanted to pay a smaller amount in cash. The waitress ignored my request and brought over the receipt with the 10% service charge added to the bill, she didn’t say anything just put it on the table and swiftly walked off. At this point I simply got up and paid at the bar. It’s a shame because last time I came here both the food and service was good."

"What an amazing place to eat and stay. The staff are all brilliant,very friendly and helpful. The bedrooms have everything you need for a great nights stay. I stayed in a single room,the bed was really comfy. Love the fact that there were ear plugs for use in case it got too noisy. The hotel is on a busy main street,but I slept very well and never heard any noise.The breakfast was fantastic and very well presented. Would definitely stay here again."
