Reviews in Shropshire

A late booking on a Friday evening close to Christmas but as with our past experiences at the water rat a very pleasurable experience. Service had that mix of good timing with being over the top. Staff were brilliant. The food was good with portion size just right for us. Highly recommended for a visit.

Came on Friday the 13th for the Christmas Fayre Food and service were fantastic. Drinks when ordered were served quickly and correctly well done all we thoroughly enjoyed our evening

Took my elderly parents to lunch here . From start to finish the service was outstanding. Victoria is a credit to you. Couldn’t do enough for us as to be fair the other staff . Food piping hot and generous portions . Nicely presented too . Large menu choice would meet most diners needs . We had my dad’s 80’th birthday here a few years back and are never disappointed. Highly recommend

I booked a Christmas meal here for 13 of us from work. The meal was excellent - food was piping hot and good value for money. Harry and the team were brilliant, service was quick and we had a really enjoyable evening. I would definitely book again.

This is a lovely pub in a lovely location by the canal. We had the Christmas meal which was very tasty and not too expensive. The service was good and we were made to feel welcome.

We booked lunch with The Malthouse. The food was absolutely brilliant. The service was good too. I would strongly recommend giving them a try.

We had a lovely meal for our department Christmas lunch. Staff were great both before and during our visit. We can recommend the cocktails too, particularly the Espresso Martinis. Thank you!

We booked here as we’re close to the area and wanted a little treat before heading home. We booked online a couple of hours before and were excited as it’d been recommended. When we arrived there was a table clearly complaining at the bar, we weren’t acknowledged or a quick, “will be with you in a minute” when the table left, to which they said to us on their way out, ‘I wouldn’t if I were you’. I told the server we had a table booked, they said it wasn’t ready (we were a few minutes early) which is fine. We then waited another 10 minutes, no acknowledgment or sorry for taking so long. Another table approached him whilst he was laying our table and we overheard them asking for some sort of discount and didn’t look too happy, clearly another complaint. Rather than him telling them he’ll be 2 minutes so that he could see to us and take us to our table, he dealt with them instead??? Making us wait even longer. There was a lady sat in the bar who also said to us not to bother at that point I told the server we were going elsewhere as it’d taken far too long to even sit us down and 2 tables told us not to risk it!! I’m not sure if it was a staffing problem but they didn’t seem too busy and to be honest, I’ve worked in hospitality, some simple manners and acknowledgement is common knowledge and doesn’t take much!! We won’t be returning and we didn’t even make it to the food but after reading the reviews we won’t bother. Such a shame.

Really good food amazing Sunday Roast the beef was excellent with giant Yorkshires

Visited on 6/12/24, great food! Lovely country pub. Service was a little slow but the lady who looked after us was so lovely and attentive. Can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic service. The waitress was excellent at discussing my dietary needs and very pleasant with the children. Good food. Only improvement would be for the restaurant to be warmer, we were cold.

From start to finish, the most perfect meal. Service was fantastic, the meal and pudding were outstanding. We will most certainly be back!

Our first visit here on Fri 6th Dec and we had an amazing meal. Live music which was great too, unfortunately we had to leave due to a customer who insisted on being the loudest noise in the restaurant. Turn your volume down dear.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at The Raven. The food was outstanding and very well priced. The pub itself is lovely, clean and spacious but sadly lacks atmosphere. It’s very brightly lit and a bit ‘cafe’ like. But having said this, I have returned and will return again.

Visiting Ironbridge and just had to eat here again! Fabulous food and excellent staff - will visit again!

We had two surprisingly good meals for the money on successive evenings. Service was impeccable and the atmosphere was fine given that it had snowed and was sub-zero outside. Breakfast chef has an unfortunate taste for 90's rock, so if that is not your thing, sit away from the kitchen area but the food was good, if not up to the standard of the evening menu.
