The Loopy Shrew

This is a bit later than we visited, apologies. I booked this venue for our office Christmas meal in December 2023. The service was absolutely fantastic, the food really hit the spot and our party of 14 left very happy and satisfied. I would definitely recommend and book again. Thank you to the team at The Loopy Shrew for accommodating us and assisting me with all of the arrangements.

As a restaurant or event venue it was great and the service was first rate. Breakfasts were fresh and tasty, and evening food was really good and filling. However, we booked it as a boutique hotel, and whilst the rooms were good, there is one major obvious issue: the rooms are above a pub that has loud music and a DJ on Fridays. We were in our room from 11pm on Friday and were able to sing along! If you're not bothered by sleeping in a club or don't go to sleep until after 12, then this is an excellent, well positioned place to stay. (As an aside, we parked our car using JustPark, and on someone's drive who rented it out. Very easy and booked in advance.)

Use to do a lovely Bakes Camembert with sourdough (then changed to any bread) simple but very nice & wasn’t bad on price. Got ripped off Saturday & platter changed, some awful dish with several limes squeezed in (think to resemble a yoghurt or potato salad), it made both of us feel ill & went home, up all last night too, more worrying with one post-op first visit out since & having parted the extreme cost of this horrid dish, worst texture of the cheese ever too! Was reported to waitress, but wasn’t sure it was reported back, as she told us the newly added side was mint yoghurt! Think ingredients been messed with, but very little bread or crackers for a staring platter & on hearing price i wouldn’t return for quality with that again either!

Had an enjoyable overnight. Had to leave before breakfast but my wife who left later, said it was fab

Really good food we had Sunday roast. More food than anyone can fit in.

Nice bar/restaurant. Visited with three adults (mum, dad, nanna) and 3 year old. My burger was great, the schnitzel was highly approved of. Drinks menu is quality. Service let it down slightly with a surly waiter who had zero patience for a child patron (not misbehaving, might I add).
