Number Four
The Story
Butcher Row is a cobbled medieval lane running behind Pride Hill, one of the main shopping streets, connecting it to the older market area. The frontages are narrow and the buildings are old. Number Four has been at number 4 long enough to build a following that puts it in the top twenty restaurants in Shrewsbury.
The café format runs from early morning through to the afternoon on most days, with Friday and Saturday evenings extending into dinner service. The menu covers breakfast, brunch and light lunches as the main trade, with daily specials and a kitchen that handles the full range without stretching itself too thin. The fish finger sandwiches are a regular recommendation. The portions are generous and the pricing is honest.
Vegan, gluten-free and vegetarian options are on the menu throughout.
Number nineteen on TripAdvisor out of three hundred Shrewsbury restaurants, with over a thousand reviews. Butcher Row is one of those medieval lanes that rewards people who know where to look. Number Four is the reason most people end up on it.
Enjoy Your Visit
Butcher Row runs off Pride Hill, one of Shrewsbury's main shopping streets. Look for the lane entrance on the left heading down Pride Hill from The Square. Number Four is at the far end of the row, on the right. Two minutes on foot from The Square.
The fish finger sandwiches are consistently recommended across reviews. The pulled pork and caesar salads are regulars on the menu. The daily specials board changes — worth checking before you order. The freshly squeezed lemonade is worth having.
Monday to Thursday the kitchen runs 9:30am to 4pm — a breakfast and lunch operation. Friday opens at 9am and runs through to 9pm. Saturday is 9:30am to 10pm. Closed Sundays. If you want to eat in the evening, Friday and Saturday are your options.
Vegan, gluten-free and vegetarian options are available throughout the menu. The restaurant is small and gets busy on weekend mornings — arriving before ten o'clock on a Saturday gives you a better chance of a table without waiting.
