Thank you - hard to remember so many names! Shrewsbury really does have an enourmous number of cafes (and pubs and restaurants). Makes you wonder really! Maybe it could become a tourist attraction - cafe capital of the Midlands.

Maybe not. <_<

Hi there,

First post and not a plug for my business (honest!!) - as I do not have any clients in Shrewsbury yet, however I am intending to get over there in the near future (Oct?) to add businesses to my site - sounds like I might have my work cut out!

I've got a fair few listings for takeaways mainly in Telford, with Andy at Telford-Live kindly introducing my site to the people!

Anyway, I thought it was relevant to this thread.....

Rgds,

GS

Hello fancyabitetoeat,

Welcome to the forum, I'm sure we can allow you to plug your website ;)

Thanks Chris:lol: ,

I will try to drop in regularly as I can to keep you posted....
(I'll pop a link on my site for you as well if that's ok with you?)

Coffee & co
Massarellas

I walked through on Friday just to check,I get sadder with each passing day.

Not sure who is sadder; you for posting a list of the cafes in the Darwin Centre after midnight on a Saturday night / Sunday morning, or me for looking at 1.20am on the same morning... :)

too close to call that one. ;)

s.g.d.

A planning application has been submitted to convert the Real Art Gallery and Cafe on Meadow Place into 4 apartments.
