Reviews in Shropshire

Service was understaffed when a group of 8 high maintenance men arrived, i think they all marched through Restaurant twice to use toilet before finally leaving. The 3 dogs that were in Restaurant were better behaved. Our Mains were stone cold (Tacos & Chips) Nachos to start & Desserts were Lovely.

Went for lunch the food was excellent and there staff were very friendly. Will be going again. Would recommend to family and friends

From the moment we walked in there was only one member of staff in the bar area. This poor chap was running around trying to serve at the bar and tables (inside and out) From being seated to getting our tea and coffee was a good 15 - 20 minutes. Half hour at least before our afternoon tea came out. The food we had was nice but not much of it, the portion sizes were small, 1 chicken wing, 1 rib and 2 sliders each. The sweet part, we had 2 very small (1 bite) cakes, a scone with clotted cream and jam each. The tea and coffee was plenty. May I say this had no reflection on the member of staff, he was running around doing his best and very attentive. It's sad to see establishments putting profit before customer service

Delicious afternoon tea - a wonderful alternative to the usual sandwiches/pastry items. Hot, plentiful and fresh. Great value for money. Friendly staff. Thank you

Lovely pub and restaurant with great food and service. Can't fault it

Food was delicious and well priced. A little disappointed there was no prosecco available, the bar didn't seem to be stocked very well.

Our Group of Five people enjoyed our starters and main meals. The wine and beer was also to our satisfaction. Service was very slow at the start and Luke did apologise for this and explained that they were short staffed. We were not in a hurry so that was fine with us. Luke was very pleasant and engaged in a longer conversation with us as he took the orders. Would recommend a visit there. We live in Cheshire so not sure when we will next visit Shropshire.

Excellent food at reasonable prices. Efficient and friendly service. Good ambience

Superb food all round for the five of us. My seafood chowder main was really tasty in fact all of the mains were so good we had a takeaway of one of them for mum for following day.! Helpful staff suggesting accompanying split of chips and rice for curry (hot but very flavoursome) . We could fault nothing at all ! Well done team Queens Head

Tried out the 2 mains for £24 menu with friends. Decent choices and Gluten Free options catered for. Good value for money, pleasant surroundings and great service. Lovely evening.

My husband and I both opted for the sirloin steak. We agreed it was the nicest sirloin that we have ever had, so thick, juicy and full of flavour. The breakfast the following morning was cooked beautifully too. We would definitely recommend!

Excellent food and really helpful, attentive staff

Booked a table for me and the wife, was not dissatisfied at all, the food was great, and the barman was very welcoming, will definitely be back soon, keep up the good work guys!

We stayed at a nearby cottage and visited this delightful pub twice, the beer garden is lovely, it's in a really quaint location. The food was lovely, crispy beef. The 3 starters for £14 and puddings. Everything was delicious, the staff were really nice and it was great value for money Also dog friendly, which meant to us!

Another excellent meal, with more veg than we could shake a stick at. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Beautiful setting, scrumptious food, caring friendly host + staff. Sunday lunch was so delicious, I never even asked for my "sharp knife" as the beef was so tender, as was the pork. Varied tasty vegetables, plus all the trimmings ensured our Sunday lunch was superb. Sadly we were too full for the variety of desserts we saw.. a lovely local place, with great value. Highly recommend.

We have visited The golden Ball several times in the last eighteen months and have always loved it. Great old pub atmosphere, friendly, helpful staff and great food. So last Sunday we took two good friends with us, to sample the pub. What a disappointment! It seemed you were short staffed, so service was pretty so, so. All with a smile and lots of apologies. But not what we had experienced in the past. Have you changed cooks or suppliers? Because the meal, when it arrived - was at best, average! The beef and roast ham were very tough. The battered cod was 'soggy' and quite small. We may have been interested in a desert. But we waited at least 20/30mins for the table to be cleared after our lunch, that none of us could be bothered and we left. What ever has happened in the kitchen recently, is not good. Our experience in the past has been big plates of tasty, well cooked food. Tender meat carved in the kitchen, served with tasty, hot sides. Something has gone wrong. Very disappointing.

We had a great lunch at the Golden Ball this Sunday. There were 3 of us plus a dog and we were well looked after, even the dog had a spcial meal provided ! As a vegetarian I often dread the limited options available, but although limited in choice the option was delicious. My companions had a traditional Sunday roast with all the trimmings and pronounced it very tasty. Lovely attentive service from our waitress. Fair prices and a cool room inside on a very hot day was very welcome. Excellent.
