We came for afternoon tea and Lily was very hospitable.
Tea was excellent - real tea leaves! Setting was unusually quiet overlooking the river via some steps into a 'secret' garden.
They also welcome dogs

Delightful Place
What a delightful afternoon spent along the Severn drinking tea.
The food was tasty and the service was top-notch.
Kudos all around.

The nicest place in Shrewsbury.
We have been to this delightful garden cafe several times and never been disappointed. The setting is gorgeous and full of character. As others have said it is accessed down some steps off the main road into a wonderful secret garden full of mature plants and quirky decorations and we discover new ones every time we visit. It is all outdoors but there is plenty of shade if wanted and the views of the river are outstanding. It is quite rightly popular but we have always found a seat, or the staff will produce a table and chairs from storage somewhere.
The cafe is closed in winter but this is for very good reasons. Firstly sitting outside by the river in the cold lacks appeal unless you are very hardy. Secondly and importantly, the garden appears to flood every winter as there are chalk marks on the toilet door to show how high it floods. One flood is as high as the toilet door!
I have been here with my husband and my children several times and the staff are unfailingly cheerful and helpful. The food is fresh, generous portions and very reasonably priced. My husband had a large ham baguette served with coleslaw(home made and very good) and chips. I had salmon fishcakes, coleslaw and chips with the nicest lemon drizzle cake and cream.
As it was a lovely hot day we also ordered 2 ciders which arrived in pint glasses. My husband commented that was very good value at £2.00 each. We spent a very enjoyable long lunch eating and and watching the ducks on the river and left feeling full and happy from another Lily's experience.
There are a lot of nice places to eat in Shrewsbury but I really believe that on a sunny day Lily's is just the nicest place in Shrewsbury.

Quirky, leafy, pretty garden overlooking the River Severn
I love this place!! Beautiful setting in a quirky, leafy, pretty garden overlooking the River Severn. Feels like you're on holiday here, so tranquil...
It was a gorgeous sunny day when we went yesterday and I honestly couldn't think of a more perfect place to sit and enjoy the sunshine. I only had a cold drink, so cannot comment on the food.
Good bar though, plenty of choice and cheap too! Good choice of places to sit, some seats in small private areas of the garden and very friendly staff - what more could you ask for?!!!
