    Second visit to Shrub, highly recommend. Staff friendly and welcoming. Nice decor, comfortable surroundings. Comprehensive drinks list. Most importantly delicious food. Group of four we had seven small plates and one main between us. Stand out dishes were the artichoke wings and lamb fries. Planning on trying the Sunday lunch next visit.

    Second time we've been to Shrub, and it was equally as good. We took our family, one of which is a vegetarian coeliac. It was the first time she has been able to eat and relax knowing all the food was suitable for her with no worry of cross contamination. We will be back 😍.

    Food and service were perfect as always! Had the mushroom wellington Sunday roast and the brussel sprouts as a side, which were to die for.

    We had the best time at Shrub! The food was incredible, we would highly recommend the spouts. Great value for money with high quality. The young lady who served us was very friendly and great at her job. We will 100% come again.

    Food was very nice, service was attentive and kind. Margarita was a bit small. Veggie burger from a meat eater was very nice as was the cheesecake. Artichoke and Tofu was very tasty. Would recommend
