We booked under their midweek winter meal offer of £25pp and it was great value for money. Obviously this came with a limited choice of drinks and meal choices but plenty enough to choose from and the food was delicious. Lovely friendly staff too. We’ll be back when we’re in the area again at some point.

Always an excellent meal. Great menu and quality food.

We ate for the first time at the water rat and loved it. My husband had sirloin steak and chips. I had fish and chips. For afters we had lemon cheesecake. The meal was excellent , we were so full. Will definitely be going back. The staff went out of their way for you. The atmosphere was so relaxing.

Very nice pub / restaurant. We both had main meals & desserts which again we both enjoyed. The service was good & all the staff were very pleasant. All in all it's a place I would recommend.

Booked an afternoon tea for 2 with bottomless cocktails/prosecco. The food was lovely and fresh, with plenty of sweet treats! And our server Callum was polite and kept our drinks flowing! Great sevice. Would recommend to anyone, and we will definitely be vack for a sit down meal! Thank you for a lovely afternoon!

Lovely food friendly service An enjoyable evening

Booked for a family meal following a recommendation and were not disappointed! Lovely pub, quiet and unassuming….staff were welcoming and food was great. There was no rush (only one chef on apparently) which created a relaxing no pressure experience. Our meals were delicious and faultless, we would highly recommend!!

Very nice! Nice staff... excellent waitress who busied herself all night with a smile. Lovely food although cheese cake was liquid?

Excellent food and service. Lovely lunch deal, was very helpful and we really enjoyed it.

Fab service, fab food great atmosphere for my big birthday

Comfortable environment Friendly welcoming staff and great food. Would definitely recommendation as have been back several times.

Having just moved to the area, we took a neighbour's recommendation and ventured into The Smokey Cow – a decision we wholeheartedly applaud. While there was a wait for our food, the anticipation proved well-founded, culminating in a truly exceptional dining experience. Everything we ordered showcased a mastery of flavour, with perfectly seasoned components, from the remarkable seasoned fries to the succulent, tender burgers. The chef's expertise shone through, rendering salt and pepper unnecessary. The restaurant boasts an impressive beer selection, catering to a range of beer tatstes. For us, a particular highlight was the massive and utterly delicious Mother Clucker Burger, a true testament to the kitchen's culinary prowess. The smoked chicken also deserves special mention, its smoky depth and perfectly cooked texture making it a standout dish. Portion sizes were more than generous, each plate a visually stunning creation worthy of Instagram. The Smokey Cow has clearly earned a place on our regular dining list, and we eagerly anticipate our return to explore more of their delectable offerings.

Sunday roast is always amazing. Can't recommend it enough

Excellent service and warm welcome. We always dine here when visiting Ironbridge. I do wish they would offer breakfast to non-residents! We enjoyed our Sunday lunch on a cold day, and would have had pudding too if there had been hot options!

Excellent Sunday lunch Friendly quick service Delicious home cooked meal Lots of choose on the menu Great location easy to park & lovely walks along the canal !

Went for Valentines night and had a lovely time. Food, drinks and service all very good. Would recommend and will be back soon.
