Reviews in Shropshire

Beautiful food, great service with friendly staff who couldn't do enough for you.

We had a lovely meal, the food was fresh and attractive, very attentive staff who made us feel safe, would certainly recommend and will visit again

Nice place, everywhere appeared clean. Service was good and timely, food was very nice, only ‘complaint’ was that my partner ordered the fish and chips and asked for some vinegar to be told they had none! They could have popped to the local Coop to sort that out to be honest but they just said sorry.

We visited for Sunday lunch while staying nearby. A lovely place with friendly staff. We both had the roast beef and would definitely recommend it. Just to add .... Yes the staff are young, as has been mentioned in previous reviews, but they were great. It was sad to hear another table giving them a hard time and then accusing them of ‘yakking instead of serving’. They were just trying to sort out the meal the lady had complained about as soon as it had been put on the table! The staff dealt with this effectively and with grace. Well done. A little gem of a place

First time we've been since the refurbishment. Beautiful venue. Looks so nice compared to how I remember it, really light and airy. The staff were lovely and friendly. The food was fab, with some good vegetarian options. The garden area is lovely. Will be coming back very soon!

The overall experience was fine, they are doing all they can to make it a good time in these weird times. The food was of a good standard, though I did find the cod and chips rather sparse. The steak meals were good. Huliome chips were excellent. Lovely garden to sit out in after the meal. The make over inside as also been done well.

Booked a meal for 3 as we are regulars visitors to what was The Meadow. The new decor and layout is very niche and the service and food was excellent. I would recommend the Water Rat as its a great location and place to relax and dine

Well spaced outdoor tables which are sheltered by large umbrella’s. we had a lovely meal with great service. Will be visiting again soon.

Booked online but had to call on day as we were running late, very kindly accommodated us. Arrived for Sunday lunch, were quickly seated with hand sanitising readily available, we were seated outside and were a little disappointed that food had to be ordered at bar despite restrictions, however food was brought quickly and was exceptional, only faults we could find were with little service issues... dirty plates left at table for long time, no offer of further drinks, after main course nobody asked if we’d like dessert, little things that maybe a young inexperienced service team can learn in future, but enjoyed the food immensely

One of our first visits back into a venue..... easy peasy. Very well organised regarding the hygiene etc. More importantly - a complete overhaul from the previous Meadow Inn (which we had previously pulled into a turned around as it was so dated). A great refurbishment - bright and airy.... good menu, good prices....and what we would have expected from the same team that runs the White Hart up the road. The service is still finding its feet and a few delays/ confusion - but I'd say thats Covid weirdness and just a general adjustment...all very friendly Have already been in for a second visit for Sunday lunch. Highly recommended as as its just out of town, there's little passing "footfall" so if you were more nervous and wanted to venture out away from the more busy high street/wharfage then this is a great spot.

Fantastic meal, lovely attentive staff and well spaced out tables. Food was delicious and an excellent choice for gluten free options as well. Highly recommend.

Visited Friday evening with friends. We had booked, but a bit of delay when we got there in knowing which table was allocated to us. Took a long time to get a drink order and a long time to order food. The place itself is beautifully decorated and well laid out, it was a lovely evening and we were able to sit outside. The food was lovely a bit more satay sauce on the bang bang chicken would have been good. A friend had visited the previous Saturday and thought it was amazing with no problems.

Well spaced out tables which made the experience feel comfortable and safe. Staff were friendly and provided a good service. The food was very enjoyable and delicious

I’ve been here twice since re-opening and both visits have been gorgeous. Food has been fresh, well cooked & tasty. Service is brilliant.

We came for a 40th birthday and it was amazing. The best meal we have had in a long time (or ever). We had a 4 month old with us too and we were easily accommodated. I'd looked at lots of menus before choosing to book and I'm so glad I we came here. We'll definitely be returning :) (Procedures are in place to have a safe dining experience during these times)

Fab food with a great view :)

Lovely Roast Beef Dinner. Friendly helpful staff.

Wow. First meal out since the start of lockdown, and we were not disappointed. The staff and procedures in place made the restaurant feel safe, but also welcoming and almost “normal” again. Ben(?) rang us earlier in the day to say that unfortunately they are running out of certain dishes, and so took our order in advance - truffle fries, pea and goats cheese risotto and a crispy pork belly. We were seated in our own little area, and the food was absolutely delicious!! We were also pleasantly surprised when the bill came - brilliant value for money. We come back every year for our anniversary, but I feel like we will be coming back for even more this year!
