Reviews in Shropshire

Disappointing food and service. Our table was booked for 5:30pm on a Saturday night and when we arrived we were told that there were no steaks and the one vegetarian meal on the menu wasn’t available, we had to chase our meals, desserts and bill and the meat was tough. When I raised concerns as we paid our bill, we were told they were short staffed - I’m not sure how the 2 girls found time to finish their private chat and twiddle with their hair if this was the case. And apparently, they don’t really cater for vegetarians because it’s a smoke house!

My partner had been telling me all about this place and how amazing the food was, so she booked us a table for Saturday evening, confirmation received and we drove 25minutes to the restaurant. On arrival it was clear the person tending to us was unsure on our booking and sent someone else to deal with us, he proclaimed to us that the booking system is sent to them and they have to confirm the booking by emailing the confirmation, as they hadn't becuase they had been so busy unfortunately we had no booking! Bear in mind we had the email confirmation in our hand on the screen showing it to him, he continued to say it was an error and sent us on our way. Was highly disappointed that an error on there part left us without a booking to eat and no where to go after a nearly 30 minute drive and there seemed to be no care to rectify the problem, to make matters worse, the cheek to then send us an email today saying " we hope you enjoyed your meal with us at the Swan, we'd love to see you again soon" please leave us a review? Shambolic springs to mind!!

The Malthouse has gone significantly downhill. From the fact that the front is a DJ booth and practically like an overpriced Hungry Horse. The food was awful. Both steaks burnt, wedges/chips raw, garlic bread soggy, cocktail was watery and it very very loud. We ate, paid and left very quickly. The young girl that served us though was very patient, attentive, friendly and helpful.

Excellent all round service and food was great.

Back in Shropshire on holiday for the first time since 2019 when we also dined at the White Hart, a lot has happened since then but thankfully the quality of food at the White Hart is just as good and we particularly enjoyed the tempura mushroom starter. Anyone visiting the Ironbridge area should make time for at least one meal at the White Hart.

Me and my partner came for a meal Wednesday evening and was really impressed with the meal and the staff. On arrival we was informed that some of the items on the menu were unavailable but that didn’t put us off one bit. We both enjoyed a 12 oz gammon and the meal was spot on and value for money. The barman/waiter was training a young member of staff and we was really impressed how he was talking her through everything and making her feel at ease . We will 100% be returning in the not so distant future

Perfect for us, room was lovely and spacious and food was great. Location was also ideal (especially in the sun) and the large cad park was an added bonus

First time here since it changed hands and due to covid. The duck was cooked perfectly and the veg was great. The mushroom tagliatelle was delicious, but I am amazed there was no bread served alongside or an option to have bread on the side extra, as the cream and truffle sauce needed something to mop it up at the end. My partner had 3 small plates and it a tasted delicious but the pakors were not crisp...a bit disappointing. With a 20 minute wait before managed to get service and order deserts, it was another 20 minutes before pudding arrived...thank goodness it was delicious...the icecream was superb, as was the bread and butter pudding and the crumble

Lovely meal, beautifully cooked and presented. Plenty of choice for all tastes. Pleasant and attentive staff. Will certainly be going back!

Absolutely amazing food. The Texas brisket was gorgeous. Only downside was about 40 minute wait for food even on a quiet afternoon and my mum asked for steak medium rare but got it medium to well done. However this didn’t spoil Our enjoyment of the food

It was not to bad …wouldn’t return as load of other places to try

Main course was very good, however I was disappointed with the Eton mess. I expected strawberies and whipped cream and meringue and instead received meringue, a few black currants in yoghurt. Service was good. Thanks

Friendly attentive staff and some of the nicest food outside a high end restaurant we have had. Certainly a huge cut above "pub food" although you can still get s steak amongst the inventive menu. If only we lived closer!

This was our first time at the newly refurbished restaurant Yes it's very nice and clean and modern There was 4 in our group food was lovely We would come back

The food was absolutely beautiful a great service, lovely atmosphere and we would definitely go back . I have a 2 year old and the staff were very friendly and the children’s menu was very appetising

I took my friend there for Lunch and the food was spot on, very nice and the pub itself was in a great location, all the staff were very friendly and helpful, we will definitely be returning as there was so many different things we wanted to try.

Food was delicious, really full of flavour! Staff were all lovely.
