Reviews in Shropshire

We stayed at The Water Rat for 2 nights end of October/early November. We were welcomed by Lee and stayed in room 6 and this was perfect for our stay. We had a nice view of the river, valley and bridge. Low level and we could park right by the door with a short walk to the main entrance to the pub. All the staff during our stay were very nice, professional and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious on both mornings and Sue worked very hard seeing to all the guests singlehanded. Evening meal on both nights was well presented. On the first night I had the fish dish which was served with crushed potatoes and parsley sauce this was very tasty. On the second night I had battered fish and chips, the fish was lovely but thought the chips were on the large side. A service charge was automatically put on the bill on the first night but not the second. I personally would prefer to make my own mind up whether I leave a tip or not. Overall a great stay in a lovely town with great heritage. Would highly recommend. Good value for money.

Took our daughter out for halloween .My husband loved his lamb shank but felt it was only just warm ,ihad fish and chips which was lovely a few chips were hard though,my daughter had jerk curry which she loved. I didnt realise about the service charge which i wasnt told about of 10% till i got home.i felt a tip would have been better.,Going in december will have charge taken off.a lovely time had though.

We had a brilliant Sunday Dinner, friendly staff, good service and fantastic food

Food was lovely when it arrived. We preordered due to numbers of people attending the meal, table was booked for 7pm for a 60th birthday celebration but very disappointed with service. Nobody came to us regarding food etc, I had to go to the Bar regarding when we were going to get our food, staff did not seem to know that our food choices had already been ordered. Well after 8pm before we saw any food arrive on the table. It was a long wait and we had 2 very hungry children

Absolutely wonderful experience… amazing food, amazing cocktails and a cosy atmosphere with friendly staff! Extremely impressed with the Halloween cocktails! Will definitely visit again!

Lovely food, really enjoyable, good range of vegetarian and vegan options available too.

I could not have felt more cared for today. Having found that I have a few foods that I am intolerant to, the chef went out of his way to advise and create me a delicious meal that I could enjoy without worry. Thank you so much

Amazing meal here, gorgeous home cooked food, brilliant service and great value for money! We will be returning!

Terrific restaurant. So good we visited twice in the week we were in Ironbridge. The food is inventive and delicious and the service is friendly, helpful and very welcoming. Great for all of us, vegetarians and children included.

Excellent food and great service from Ross and Kaitlin on Saturday night. Lovely atmosphere with just the right amount of live music.

Booked for my husbands birthday... we weren't disappointed. Food was excellent and they don't skimp on the sizes. I have celiac disease, so for me its just wonderful to have such a varied menu to choose from and things can be adapted for me, I can relax with my family in the knowledge of eating safely. We couldn't eat it all, so we had "doggy bags" to take home. Staff are friendly and want you to have a lovely experience. Nothing is to much trouble.

What an awesome pub and restaurant..!! Service was top notch, food was excellent and the atmosphere was authentic...! Loved it.

Great food, quality ingredients well cooked

Incredible tender roast beef, beautiful sunday roast, very attentive service and a clean venue. Very good experience.

Went for Sunday lunch and it was excellent. Must be the best value for money locally as the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food on offer. We have been a few times recently and every time it has been excellent.

Food was absolutely gorgeous, we’ve been for Sunday lunch now about 4 times, very consistent really lovely, I do think some soft background music wouldn’t go a miss.

Another amazing meal, great service and all round great atmosphere

We had a lovely vegan and vegetarian meal. Started off with the buffalo fired popcorn cauliflower , it was lovely and the portion size was very good. We then had the pan fried nut roast which was nice and crunchy it came with plenty of seasonal vegetables and perfect roast potatoes. Edward served us , he was very helpful and attentive. I will definitely be returning.
