Reviews in Telford

Hi, we booked a table for 4 based on a number of friends recommendations. We arrived on time and were promptly given a menu each. Having chosen our starters and main course the waitress then presented us with another identical menu but this one had nearly all of our choices unavailable. We didn't stay for our meal as we were so disappointed with the now severely diminished choices. If we had been given the second menu at the beginning, we may have stayed but considering the poor start to the evening probably not.

Absolutely wonderful experience here - 4 adults and an infant on Saturday afternoon. Special thanks to the chef that day for being so generous and understanding with our little boy and gave him some biscuits as well as offering to cook him extra things. We felt it was good value with some nice wines on the menu and we had an all round great experience - only knocked off a star because the food all lights had a mind of their own at times with the flickering. Overall we would definitely return!

Second visit for us due to being so impressed with the Sunday menu last time and we really wanted to try the new menu with family. It didn't disappoint! The food was beautiful we were well looked after and had a great time! Already looking forward to our next visit. My only point is that when we asked the waitress questions about the menu and drinks choice she either said she didn't know or had to find someone to ask. Possibly extra training needed to make it perfect.

12/11/2022 first visit to BK, we a tad early but was welcomed and shown to our table. Service was great and from point of order being taken the food wasn't long and OMG the food !! Perfectly cooked and every bite had amazing taste. I would 100% recommend visiting and it most certainly won't be my last visit.

Really good quality food. Really unfortunate that the staff were not trained and didn’t know anything about the food men or even the drinks menu. When asked questions the waitress and waiter didn’t have any clue about anything

Great service, great food, and a great atmosphere. very clean establishment and friendly staff.

Went for Sunday Lunch I cant fault the food serviceand value for money but the room was a bit cool and there were not many in but to be fair a bloody good meal

Great atmosphere, very nice little restaurant. Service always top quality, very friendly and welcoming. Food is fantastic. 5 stars in all areas.

We really enjoyed it

Lovely birthday meal at the smokey cow, what an unknown gem! All food was lovely and service was delightful

It was very brightly lit which stifled warmth and ambiance. The staff were pleasant and welcoming however. I don’t recall hearing any background music. The starter labelled medium hot was so hot it was inedible. The pork ribs were tough and also inedible. Very disappointed and despite contacting the company we have not had any response.

Delicious food and great service.

First meal there last night. Cannot fault the service, particularly lovely man on the bar. Unfortunately, the staff are let down by the average food and the cold lighting (although the air temperature was good). The belly pork starter was chewy and so was the short rib which was supposedly slow cooked for 8 hours. Perhaps it had dried out afterwards or not been fully submerged. It was also meant to come with leeks which were missing. And it was HUGE! Great if you have a big appetite but not if you were hoping for dessert! My partner enjoyed his Smokey cow burger however and the Brie wedges were delicious. Lovely place and lovely staff. Fine if you want some average pub grub but don’t expect fine dining.

Very slow service. After waiting 20 mins for someone to take our order has to go to the bar to order food for another 20 minute wait. Just everything was dealt with at a very slow pace and spending over 70 pound on a meal was just a bit disappointed with how slow things were

We love our BBQ food and we ordered the Pit Master sharing platter. There was a lot of meat which was a good thing and most of it was cooked to perfection and delicious. Unfortunately the pork ribs where tough and chewy which would indicate not cooked for long enough low and slow.

Had a fantastic night for Octoberfest. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was second to none. We had such a great time and couldn’t recommend it enough.

Excellent food and hospitality. Would highly recommend it

Having noticed the pub when driving by we were caught by its appearance and signage. Once home we reviewed the extensive menu which looked superb with an offering for everyone in our party (9) so we made a reservation for a table for Sunday afternoon. We were greeted by a friendly waitress and showed to our table ordered drinks all going perfectly great start. We were provided with menus although we had already decided prior to what we wished to order and here is we’re it went dramatically downhill. Now we were provided a Sunday lunch menu on arrival to now be told we are sorry we have sold out of all Sunday lunches , slightly disappointed but no problems as the main menu contained more than enough options or so we thought , we were then told that three out of the five pies advertised were unavailable along with around half of the rest of the menu limiting our options further. So we placed our orders for what we could have and ordered some extras including the house salad and onion rings. At this point we are told of a thirty minute wait for food , not to worry we waited. Our order started to arrive which consisted of two orders of the full rack of ribs but we were first served two half racks we raised this with our server who informed us this was an error in the kitchen and we would be served this twice (the ribs though were of a very poor standard and burnt) the rest of the order followed which included the house salad which should be re named the grossly overpriced embarrassing to be served salad , it was pathetic to say the least. We informed the waitress that we were not prepared to pay £4.95 for it and could it be returned in her defence she removed it from the bill and left it with us. The “pie” is actually a slice of pie and the seasonal vegetables consisted of two carrots and a parsnip (they had also ran out of greens). We spoke to the manager and has a refund of 20% of the bill making the final bill come in at £198 including drinks which included a bottle of wine so we found this acceptable. A real shame as the menu and venue is very good but the food or lack of it is a real shame and we personally wouldn’t visit again.
