"we wanted to visit the midlands and family for the first time since Christmas and in the frame of the visit I decided that we would take my mother for a nice Sunday dinner. she lives in telford and I am not familiar with the contrary so that I am on tripadvisor for ideas. I mean, I was looking for restaurants in Telford and sorted by rating; clays of broseley was the best from the list and that was what I booked. it is about a minute drive from my mother place through a beautiful shropshire landscape. we arrived in broseley a little early and found a parking space right in front of the restaurant. we were invited to take place on the terrace while they opened and had some drinks. I had a fantastic homemade limonade with glittering water, my mother had a Rhabarb juice that was so delicious that we were strolling home with us and my wife had a very nice pot tee. we had booked a table that had been placed in the restaurant for us, but we were offered the table on the terrace for lunch, which we liked to accept as the weather was perfect. we all ordered from the midday card, which for two courses and for three courses was a fantastic bargain. I ordered salmon and hake meatcakes with delicate brokolli, spargas and a white wine sauce and my wife and mother both ordered the beef Sirloin roast dinner. I was so impressed with eating. honestly, this restaurant lives up to all reviews. the ingredients were fresh and tasty and not refined as they get some places. to dessert my mother and I both had the rhubarb and custard' and playful plate that rhubarb compott, gelee, vanilla cream and small mygues combined crazy. the perfect end for every afternoon. during the meal were the employees (I'm sorry to say that I didn't get their names) attentive and friendly. our month old sohn, henry, has a stinking cold and has teethed, so was not on his best behavior, but the staff was fantastic with him. They even went so far that they broke out one of their dogs, a beautiful, huge dog called barney, for henry's entertainment. to cover everything, and this is great for parents of small children, they had a full baby change unit, complete with diapers, wipes and unhappy bags! I can honestly say I've never seen this before. all in all, for three nets, two desserts and drinks, the bill came less than unnecessary to say, I intend to visit again when we are close. I really can't wait."

"It was my 68th birthday and I wanted to do something in Bishops Castle that I hadn 't done before after living here for 4 a half years. But what? Mmm...early February in Bishops Castle? I discounted the usual suspects as glad as I was to see them emerging from the dark days of a not too bad winter. It had to be.....The Chai Shop! So wandering hopefully past with the windows steamed I popped in to see Tahira Tara AKA and booked myself in for the week after. One week later I arrived with my bottle of beer where a wonderful welcome was given and it wasn 't long until my plate of lamb rogon josh with pilau rice with a couple of accoutrements creme fresh sweet relish and a bowl of salad arrived. It was delicious especially after my invigorating walk along Kerry Ridgway while dipping down on the Churchstoke side what a view!! 4 hours previously. With the Chai Shop to my own I had a great natter with 'Tara ' about her life on the hills, her house, her passion for painting and the coming and goings of life in 'BC ' in general. And then as if by magic...2 slices of birthday cake and a cup of chai arrived...gratis for my birthday! Wow! Anyway, I 'd arrived at 4pm in the light and it was now darkened 5:30pm and if I 'd outstayed my welcome I certainly wasn 't made to feel it. Delicious food and engaging company had rounded off my day and I realised what Tara and her small chai shop adds to the life of my town that 's taken a knock over the last few years. Answer...a lot! I shall be back, of that I 'm certain. Tahira...I rename you Tiara!! ;"

"We have visited the Wheel many times before and therefore have a good idea of the experience we can expect. We recently visited with friends to catch-up and arrived circa so not late by evening dinning standards. Wine and beer was swiftly ordered and...served to the table with a smile from the waitress. of the party of went with starters, they we served quickly and very scrummy. Not too long after the mains were bought out, pasta dishes and one fish dish. Pasta dishes were all cooked to perfection however the fish dish was below par. The rissoto it was served on was dry and looked like it had been loitering in the kitchen waiting for the fish to decide to leap out of the pan or due to the size of the piece of fish the chef was having difficulty catching it in the pan. What ever the reason was it was not a pleasant, enjoyable plate of food. Conversation flowed and by now it was close to before we ordered desserts, we all had something different and to be honest the only dish that received praise was the Eatonmess, the other three dishes we not what I would expect, especially considering the price charged the Bakewell tart had obviously been heated so much the base was like concrete and the jam like sticky glue, the sticky toffee pudding certainly need more toffee flavor and the crumble lacked flavour, was very wet and left under the grill too long so was just starting to catch and burn. Not the best experience, the Chef and the management need to get back to ensuring the attention to detail is carried throughout the meal from start to finish, with all elements being served with love and care!"

"Relaxed grazing family meal Booked for 530pm. No rush to order. Welcomed by owner who was keen to help and guide. 2 friendly dogs residents which our youngest loved. Felt like being welcomed to a friendly home host. Explained he had a host staff member down which was fine because we were in no rush. In fact it felt relaxed and allowed us to settle in and relax after a busy afternoon. Lots of interesting selections of grazing and main meal options. Well, we could not have anticipated the quality of the cooking. We asked for things to be sent out as they were ready (good option and we grazed away for our stay. Good quality food and wine and seriously reasonable prices. Our 20something to teenage boys left satisfied and full, as did we. Unassuming and delightful visit in this hidden gem. Go without a timescales and enjoy an unhurried but genuinely satisfying and tasty selection of home cooked delights from this skilled and talented chef who caters for tastes young and old. Pure joy for a group who are not always easy to please. Recommend the garlic prawns (simply phenomenal , garlic mushrooms (like I’ve never tasted! , Mac and cheese (pleased a 13 Yr old, hard to please USA foody addict and sirloin steak which was tasty beyond measure. Bottle of Sauvignon was cheap by restaurant standards but good quality too. Recommended by a tricky group who are hard to please in their entirety, usually but all left wanting a return visit. Wish we lived closer as we would be regulars!"

"On Sunday, October 29th, 2017, my wife, two friends, and I went to The Red Lion at Longden Common in Shrewsbury. I had made a reservation for four people at 1:00 PM the previous week. When we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Rachel, the landlady, who made us feel very welcome. We were seated at our table in the conservatory, which was almost full (a good sign of good food). Our drinks were quickly served, and a friendly server took our meal orders. I started with white bait as a starter, followed by lamb shank. My wife and friends had potato leek soup followed by roast beef. The white bait was served on a bed of salad and was delicious. The lamb shank was excellent, and I heard the roast beef was also very good. The vegetables were plentiful, and we were offered more gravy and vegetables during our meal. Despite being big eaters, my friend and I couldn't finish all the vegetables, but they were all cooked perfectly and tasty. After a short break, we had trifle for dessert, which was a special creation by Rachel and was amazing. I cannot describe it - you must try it yourself! The meal was so good that I asked to speak to the chef, something I've never done before. Two lovely ladies came out from the kitchen and introduced themselves. I thanked them for the delicious Sunday dinner, which truly was a gourmet experience. We can't wait to visit again soon. Well done to Rachel and her staff!"
