Christmas Day at the Shores Inn was a pleasure, the staff were attentive and helpful,the food was good and considering how busy they were, we were served promptly, it must be said it's not easy to get all of those things right when there's no room at the Inn.
Well done everybody.🥰
4 Aussies dining with English rellies, the Sunday carvery was magnificent. The size of the yorkies blew us away.
Lovely pub for food, always busy especially on a Sunday! So I think booking is essential, also car share if you can, as although it has a big car park it does fill up.
The curry night is my favourite, it's brilliant.
We were a party of 36, such a fantastic and varied menu. The food was cooked to perfection and such good quality. Half of us chose the carvery, half from the festive menu. The trio of partridge breasts and Duckling in black cherry sauce were particular favourites with our dinners. Amazing service considering how busy the restaurant was.
A big thank you to all the staff, who were fantastic 👏
Amazing food, went for a big family Sunday lunch. I had a prawn cocktail starter which was lovely and the carvery was very nice, it was refreshing to have lovely fresh vegetables that were hot and the beef and Yorkshire pudding were very nice.
The only thing that let it down slightly was that after our plates were taken away after the main meal we were completely forgotten about and no one asked if we wanted desserts or teas/coffees. We gave up in the end as it was very busy and just paid the bill.
What a great village pub, spacious and welcoming atmosphere with happy staff.
I gaurentee you will not leave here hungry. The portion sizes are made for a empty stomach. Every dish was tasty, cooked perfectly and we'll presented, prices are very reasonable and personally some of the dishes you could charge more for as they are very good quality.
This is the 2nd time I have visited and staff have always been super and attentive to your requests.
Definitely a pub to visit 😊
Nice food if anything the portions were oversized. One order came wrong but was replaced quickly and without fuss. Service was good. Would go again only would not have starter as main was sufficient
My family and I came here for a traditional carvery and loved it. There was a good selection of different meats to choose from - at least five I believe, which feels like a better selection than most. The vegetables were splendid too - all my toddler wanted to eat were the carrots! I also had the chicken liver pate for a starter, which I personally found gorgeous! (Would definitely recommend!) To top it off, there was also a delightfully warm atmosphere in the whole place on a Sunday afternoon, filled with families celebrating. However, I was rather disappointed by the cleanliness of the bathrooms. I could see dust lining the walls and it felt as if there were not enough toilets for the size of the pub, so they were constantly in use.
Each year we had a Family meet up around Easter time then COVID hit. The shires then had some renovations done ( I think) so we found another venue, but nothing compares with The Shires. Today we went back and what service we had…brilliant. From the first phone call everyone I have spoken to have been so accommodating and helpful, look forward to seeing you again..
Came here on 22/12, had the pheasant. Exquisite! Big portion wrapped in bacon, with haggis inside a pastry casing, a pheasant Wellington if you like. Delicious herby sauce, potatoes and winter vegetables. Great service and a wonderful lunch.
Perfect experience on Father’s Day! Accommodated really well for vegans and vegetarians! The best service I’ve received in a restaurant, beautiful surroundings and wonderful staff!
Fantastic food, wonderful choice for starter, main and dessert. Good selection of specials. Friendly team of staff and prompt service. Generous portions and able to adapt if needed. Try the prawn cocktail, practically a main course in itself! Nice atmosphere with tables comfortably set apart. Pub feel but fine restaurant quality.
Excellent food. The menu has a wide variety. Very generous portions. Great Service. Deep fried Brie in a orange sauce &bread olives,oil and balsamic vinegar dip. Pan fried sea bass with chorizo and prawn & monkfish with prawns and scallops in a creamy vermouth sauce. Delicious.

Tasty Roast Dinner and Sweet. 10/10. I go regularly and the roast meats are one of the best around. Can't comment on veg as I don't eat any but the rest is perfect. Staff always friendly despite being very busy. Always feel welcome and been visiting for over 40 years.
Had a fantastic meal here last night. The service is great, friendly, the restaurant is bright and inviting. The food was amazing, we ordered the deep fried brie and malt crunch loaf with olives & balsamic olive oil dip. For the main course monkfish with prawns and scallops in a Vermouth cream sauce and sea bass with prawns chorizo and mushrooms. They were accompanied by potatoes and vegetables. The berry Pavlova for dessert was amazing. Five star experience but do book a table as you would expect it's always busy.
