Counted among Shrewsbury's finest dining destinations, Huxley's at Drapers Hall is located in one of the oldest buildings of the historic market town. Even after more than four centuries, the unique and historical hall still presents much the same appearance.

Guests are given an opportunity to dine in an interior furnished with seventeenth century furniture amidst exposed beams, a 1658 fireplace, traditional linen, silverware and paintings and sculptures. You could stop by for a meal created by Chef Nigel Huxley or simply enjoy a cocktail, chat with friends, or play a game of backgammon.

The menu offers a blend of traditional and contemporary creations that include gourmet dishes as well as lighter and simpler food. First courses of seared scallops are served with chilli sauce and crème fraîche with cucumber ribbons while mains of freshly roasted crispy duck comes to the table straight from the oven with orange, Cointreau and capsicum sauce and a risotto of fish and shellfish appears with parmesan shavings and lemon.

The wine list is made up of easy drinking wines as well as French, Italian and New World vintages.
