Food lovers in Shropshire are enjoying Shrewsbury Restaurant Week, which is currently underway until Sunday, 2 November.
Following its debut last year, this year’s Restaurant Week is bigger and better, featuring more than 60 exclusive offers from over 30 town centre venues – from fine dining to street food, and cocktails to coffee.
The week-long event is a partnership between Shrewsbury BID and local food entrepreneur and chef Steve Guy (of The Hungry Guy and named Slow Food Chef of the Year 2024), marketing and events specialist Saskia Guy, the team commissioned to curate the event for 2025.
Together they’ve brought together a line-up of special offers and foodie deals designed to showcase the best of Shrewsbury’s hospitality scene.
“We’re thinking bigger and better this year,” said Steve Guy. “Shrewsbury is so close to my heart – the food here is incredible, but it’s the people behind it who make it special. I’m thrilled to help celebrate the town’s hospitality talent and give everyone the chance to go somewhere they might not usually go and experience something new.”
