The mussels from the specials board were delicious My companions also their cod fillet with tomatoes and garlic The accompanying station bitter was also extremely good

We have always found the staff very friendly on arrival and quickly shown to a table where a drinks order is taken while we decide on the menu. On return with drinks the staff ask whether we have chosen or need more time. The menu and specials are very comprehensive and unusual in that there is more than standard pub food. The food on arrival was cooked perfectly and was very tasty. I had the gammon with sauté mushrooms and my wife had chicken curry, both meals were good portions and very well cooked. We travel over an hour and have never been disappointed.

Our first visit to the area and the Water Rat had great kerb appeal. A very welcoming establishment and the staff, without exception were all very friendly and helpful. The range of food on offer was excellent and very competitively priced and absolutely delicious. The pizza was the best I’ve had in ages. A great find all round.

Had an amazing meal at the gate, the steak and the sides were just amazing! Service was excellent and the staff so friendly. My new favourite place to go and eat, it is out of this world!

EXCELLENT!! We really enjoyed our afternoon tea as it was such a nice change from traditional sandwiches. Our waiter Max was so pleasant, helpful & obliging. He had arranged for us an old style wooden table near the widow with views towards the trees that front the river & passers by sheltering from the squally showers. He turned down the volume of the music as the speaker was near our table & we had just driven from North Wales so needed a bit of quiet. Most important he accommodated my allergy to chillies & peppers ensuring the food we received did not have paprika & cayene pepper & wasn't spiced. The food was so tasty, the meat "melt in your mouth" & the sweet course looked & tasted delicious. The room was lovely with the old beams. A place of real character. As it was mid September it was fairly quiet, though in summer months it is probably extremely busy. We will be back. Ours was a Groupon deal & exceptional value for quality food. Thank you.

We had a very pleasant evening and nights stay. The staff were all friendly and cheerful. The menu was varied and very enjoyable as there were options other than deep fried pub grub. I had Mediterranean baked cod; the prices were on a par with other places locally but better value.

We visited on the 14th for a Sunday roast, absolutely gorgeous, another lovely meal at The Queens Head, staff very attentive and such a lovely atmosphere, look forward to next time.

Had early evening meal in the sun room pate lovely hen fish chops frind chose the steak pie said very good

Steak cooked to perfection, good vegetarian choices for the veggie in the group. Cherry martini and Bramble were delicious and a decent size. Staff were friendly and made sure you had everything you needed. Great value for money, one of the best seasoned and cooked steaks ive had in a long time

Best reviews in Ironbridge, hence our visit. Only a small restaurant so book well ahead. Service was prompt, maybe a bit too prompt. Menu was not lengthy which indicates freshly prepared. Our meal was moderate spicy, but very tasty and not filling thankfully. However, the prawns were over cooked, which should not happen. Reasonable drinks menu which comes from the pub next door! A mandatory choice of either 2 or 3 courses was not obvious until we sat down.

Chose The Malthouse for its menu variety & proximity. Great selection, good food & nice atmosphere. Have eaten here on many occasions - it’s one of my favourites in Ironbridge.

Whilst the food was enjoyable, we did have a long wait after ordering to our main course, especially relevant as we were the only diners for the first 20 minutes we were there. Not sure that the Staff serving the alcohol were 18, and that seemed more intent on the attention of a group of lads that came in. This is such a shsmd as we have eaten here many times and it’s always been a nice experience. We have been coming here for just over a year now and the menu choices have not changed.

Went for Food at The Smokey Cow for My Dad's 60th. It was amazing from start to finish! Food was 10/10. Chef Josh cooked everything to perfection. The steak cut through like butter! Louise was fab, nothing was too much trouble for her, she was brilliant with the kids in our party, promit with service and so friendly. Our experience was first class and will definitely be returning. Thank you team :)

Delicious food, staff very attentive. We will be there again.

Lovely evening meal and drink. Was a little quiet when we arrived but a few more tables filled up later on. The food was very good and service friendly. We had the fish & chips and the chicken and rib combo - both of which were delicious. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Ironbridge

The food, drink, ambience, venue and location were all amazing. BUT to service was really disappointing - cocky attitude, unfriendly and slow. All of our party felt the same. Shame but don’t let this put you off as the Yorkshire puddings are the best!

Food lovely service shocking

We have been going to the Queens Head since 1998 , we nearly always have a good meal there ,the food is usually very good and tasty . We reserved a table yesterday in the middle room , although when we got there the table was in the bar by the fireplace , yes but I had asked for the middle room , we are very busy was the reply but we did we got our table in the middle room . It was chaotic in the place ,so uncomfortable, unfriendly staff no one smiling just all rushing around, far too busy to take notice. Couldn't fault the food it was hot tasty only one little dish of veg , not enough for two people, but hey ho that's what it is , It's a shame really, that they don't care about their customers . Reading other reviews what day are the staff friendly, we will have to go on that day
