Took family for a meal early Saturday teatime. Callum was excellent for service and friendliness however the meals were hit and miss. 2 people had the steak and blue cheese ciabatta - the steak was chewy and no real taste of blue cheese. The steak on the surf and turf was also tough and that was ordered with blue cheese sauce which wasn’t a sauce. Chunky chips were overcooked on all meals.

Lovely family meal

Selected this as one of the closest to our overnight accommodation, and offered a very reasonable selection of food, at fair pricing. There was plentiful parking albeit poorly lit. The restaurant was bright and fresh having undergone refurbishment, and we were welcomed by the young lady who was our server for the evening. Drinks were ordered and served promptly (it was quiet for a Saturday night, but had been busy much earlier we were assured). I chose a pint of cider shandy and my wife a large White Zinfandel. My wife (celebrating a birthday) avoided her usual steak and opted for Hunter’s Chicken, and I asked for a starter and side to be served as a main which was accepted without missing a beat, my choice being BBQ Buffalo wings coupled with Dirty Fries (Shropshire Blue Cheese with Jalapeños ). We waited just a few minutes and the food appeared, and generous was an understatement! My ‘5’ wings had morphed to 8, and the Hunter’s chicken came with a huge bowl of wedges masquerading as fries. They were like small roast potatoes and I ended up with half a dozen to ‘try’!. The BBQ wings were smothered in sauce and were delicious, as were the dirty fries. The Hunter’s chicken was summarily demolished and the bacon was crispy and smokey. When she came to clear away, we chatted with the lady server who was friendly and straightforward, and she came across as very genuine and interesting. Paying the bill, I was pleasantly surprised to find it much cheaper than expected, and even with a tip it was still much better value than our home turf in Devon. Thoroughly recommended, and would definitely return if ever in the area.

I cannot fault The Tilley. Gorgeous food, lovely atmosphere and great service. I would highly recommend this place for an evening with friends. Nothing is too much trouble. We are very lucky to have such a gem of a pub local to us. Thank you!

5 of us went for Sunday lunch at the bull, booked online which was really easy to do. Service was great, staff were friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and amazing value for money, proper home cooked dishes. The belly pork starter was the best I have ever tasted, and the portion sizes were generous. There was a slight wait between courses but that was obviously because the food was being cooked fresh, you could tell by the quality of it, i had no issues with the time it took to come out nice to actually sit and enjoy a good meal without feeling rushed. I can't wait to visit again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This our 2nd time at the Tilley Raven. And loved the place. Staff always friendly and happy to help. Comfortable And clean tidy. Dogs welcome too. Food very very nice.

We came is Saturday, 3 tables of people, 1waited 1 hour for food, starters and mains came out together, hardly any of the menu available….very poor!

Brilliant! Went for lunch on Saturday with my Dad for his birthday. He lives in Wem and so chose to go here. I booked on line and asked for a quiet table due to my Dad being in his 80's. The lady wished my Dad Happy Birthday after showing us our table. The food, as always, was great. The tomato & thyme soup with focaccia was heavenly and my Dad thoroughly enjoyed his fish & chips, while I had a nice light chicke & bacon salad. Great services all round and lovely people, would highly recommend :)

Lovely meal wonderfully cooked and very accommodating to swap things around, thank you very much we will be back

Best Sunday lunch ever. So tasty and well presented We visit regularly Can’t understand why it’s not busier

Food was hot and tasty.. Service was excellent as ever.

We had a wonderful Galentines Afternoon Dinner for 2. Great value, lovely food, comfy atmosphere and great service. We took home more food than we were able to eat! Would recommend to friends

Booked an afternoon tea for 2 with bottomless cocktails/prosecco. The food was lovely and fresh, with plenty of sweet treats! And our server Callum was polite and kept our drinks flowing! Great sevice. Would recommend to anyone, and we will definitely be vack for a sit down meal! Thank you for a lovely afternoon!

Very nice! Nice staff... excellent waitress who busied herself all night with a smile. Lovely food although cheese cake was liquid?

Sunday roast is always amazing. Can't recommend it enough

Visited for on Valentine's Day. Left it to last minute and hadn't booked anywhere. Most local places were fully booked. Found that The Bull had tables available and they had a 2 for £20 deal on. Wasn't expecting much for that and the fact they had vacancies made me a little nervous but was pleasantly surprised. The place was tastefully decorated for Valentine's, staff were attentive without being intrusive, food was very good and portion sizes fantastic for the price. This will definitely become a regular haunt if our next visit is as good.

Visited on 14.2.25 we had a delicious afternoon tea. The food was fresh and the staff lovely. Will definitely go back again.
