Reviews in Shropshire

We dined at the gate on Thursday eve there wasn’t a lot of choice on the menu so we went for the steak I had a ribeye my husband had a sirloin they were very good the chips were nice we also wanted a bottle of red wine the wine we got was awful but there was not a lot of choice no decent wine was available will not go back

Lily was serving us , she was very friendly and attentive. Great food .

We had afternoon tea at The Last Inn recently and we cannot fault the service or the food. The food was fresh, tasty and well presented and we were looked after well with great service. We would visit again!

Great food but slow service when there was no one else in there.

We were disappointed by our last meal at the Raven last Sunday night. The menu, although the stationary was new, was the same as... could it be the last 3 years? We had heard that there was a new chef and hoped the food would be as good as before. It was not too busy that evening. After we placed our food order, there was a long wait. Most meals were tasty and well presented, except mine: I had a roast vegetable skewer with yoghurt and mint sauce. Although I was the last to be served, the vegetables were not cooked, just slightly charred on the outside and the sauce only appeared 10 minutes after I had started eating, to join the others. Later on, we wanted to order a second round of drinks and the waitress said she would be right back to take our order. She never came back so we did not order second drinks. We decided to have pudding at home rather than risk more waiting. I told Kerry that we were disappointed by the service. She apologised and said one of the chefs had been taken to hospital with a fit. We wish we were told straight away, we would have been understanding.

Consistently brilliant! By far the best Thai food available anywhere in the UK. Suree is a genius chef and the front of house staff, especially Jo, are always welcoming, courteous and charming.

Service and staff were excellent. The food however wasn’t great at all. I would give the Sunday roasts a miss and maybe stick to basic pub food like chips and wraps etc. Very disappointed with the roast, the sirloin was very fatty, all the vegetables were undercooked the cauliflower cheese sauce was basically very runny yellow liquid and the gravy was worse just like thin brown water. Terrible really. I should have kept to a sandwich really.

Lovely meal in pleasant surroundings.

We booked at short notice via the website, staff were welcoming and friendly even though I’m sure they had had a very busy day. We were served swiftly And food was delicious

I received a very warm welcome when I visited the Water Rat with two friends for lunch last Thursday. The two course lunch menu offers very good value for money and the lady who served us was very friendly, efficient and hard working. Her smile made us feel like a valued customers.

Modern Thai with a twist, Thursday was seafood day. Fish and seafood fresh and tasty we love the food, so ordered both special starters three mains and two desserts The green and red curry seafood were super tasty, but very similar> The pork was to die for The rice was fresh and tasty, sounds simple, but it's not to get it right. Fried ice cream dessert was super too. enjoyable

Suree and her staff never fail to produce amazing food and lovely service. The chicken satay, crispy chicken, fillet steak stir fry and gorgeous puddings- the honeycomb- could go on and on! We have been coming here for many years and is always our go to place.

We had booked an afternoon tea at the Bull at Roddington but we were notified that they had ceased trading so offered us an alternative at The Aston instead. I’m so glad that we went as it was a beautiful afternoon tea with Prosecco & ale & was excellent value for money at £23.95. The savouries were a nice added bonus. Cakes & scones were so light & fresh. Service was very welcoming by Will. Just a shame it was so quiet in the restaurant for a bank holiday weekend but we can highly recommend.

Fantastic meal on Friday this week. First visit to Surees Kitchen but won’t be our last. Food was superb and the friendly service was excellent. Thoroughly recommend if you are visiting Ironbridge to drop in and sample the delights.

Like Anne Corfield, we were offered afternoon tea at The Last Inn after The Bull at Rodington closed, thanks to the help and consideration shown by the Area Manager. I am pleased to say that, unlike Anne Corfield, the food we enjoyed was very good quality. It appeared that The Last Inn had been asked to step in at the last minute for a few bookings and was trying to manage the extra demand. I am pleased to say that the sandwiches were fresh and tasty, filled with pork and apple, cheese and onion and ham. There was no problem with the fillings and there was a choice of brown and white breads. Two people next to us received salmon sandwiches, so they were clearly varying the fillings. The sausage rolls, pork pies and small scotch eggs were all presented in bite sizes. The garnish of salad added to the presentation. The scones were large, warm and precut, with a large helping of jam and cream. The cakes consisted of caramel torte slices and large chocolate brownies, surrounded with raspberries and halved strawberries. Our choice was to have the food with pots of tea, in which there were up to 3 cups. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Booked a bottom less brunch for a hen party, there was 10 of us on my booking. Our first drink did take a little while to be served for us, but after that all drinks were served quickly, there was a good choice of cocktails to choose from. Our food came about an hour into our booking which was the perfect timing, all food was hot and prepared and served to each person liking and preference. All staff for helpful and friendly, special mention to Josh who was our main server, nothing was too much trouble for him. Would definitely recommend to others and comparing the price to other pubs around The Swan was the cheapest.

Amazing meal, freshly cooked. Will definitely be returning.
