Having lived in the gorge for nearly 3 years I'm ashamed to say that it took me so long to go to the elephant crossing. I've now been twice in the last month, once for their day to day menu and secondly for their Sunday lunch. All food and drinks were fantastic and importantly, the staff are brilliant. I would highly recommend anyone local or further afield going.

Had a fabulous bottomless brunch yesterday with 2 friends. Food was excellent good choice of cocktails and staff and servicing was amazing. Very friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Really nice complimentary jug of Pimm’s on table waiting for us when we arrived. Best brunch we’ve had. Will definitely be back. Thank you to all.

This our 2nd time at the Tilley Raven. And loved the place. Staff always friendly and happy to help. Comfortable And clean tidy. Dogs welcome too. Food very very nice.

Had afternoon tea with a twist and was not disappointed, it was very nice and refreshingly different. Our waitress was very good too. Would recommend for something a little different.

Had a terrific night at the Malthouse. Started with a lovely meal and then followed by some fantastic live music. Would definitely recommend a night at the Malthouse.

We came is Saturday, 3 tables of people, 1waited 1 hour for food, starters and mains came out together, hardly any of the menu available….very poor!

Been to this venue many times and enjoyed every meal but this time it wasn’t up to the usual standard. Very fatty meat for a roast dinner, all our meals were just missing something not the usual excellent quality we have come to expect.

Brilliant! Went for lunch on Saturday with my Dad for his birthday. He lives in Wem and so chose to go here. I booked on line and asked for a quiet table due to my Dad being in his 80's. The lady wished my Dad Happy Birthday after showing us our table. The food, as always, was great. The tomato & thyme soup with focaccia was heavenly and my Dad thoroughly enjoyed his fish & chips, while I had a nice light chicke & bacon salad. Great services all round and lovely people, would highly recommend :)

We had an afternoon tea, with a difference, sliders, ribs, wings and then pud. Food was really nice, well cooked and tasty. Serving team were very polite also, nothing too much trouble. Highly recommend.

The food was lovely along with the service and friendliness of the gentleman that served us, very accommodating However the place was not clean ,quite off putting, crisps all over the floor, crumbs and food on chairs ( which the barman cleaned after I asked him too) cobwebs on windows, such a shame because it was off putting ad the crumbs between the gaps on the table, I was concerned then about the kitchen

Afternoon tea was superb. Service was excellent. Will definitely book again

Steak excellent cooked to perfection. Chicken pie definitely home made, large chunks of chicken very tasty.

When we arrived there was one other table in the restaurant who were receiving their food so there was no queue of orders in the kitchen. We ordered drinks, a shared cocktail which was warm and served with no ice. Our food did not arrive until an hour after our booking (reminder that when we arrived there was one table who were eating already) however a couple who came in to order to takeaway ordered and received their food way before us. The food was nice but as we were disappointed already it was hard to enjoy. We had no napkins and one fork to share between us and we couldn’t get the servers attention to bring us more - our table was also dirty. We wanted to leave as soon as we ate, when I went up to pay I wasn’t shown the bill just given the card reader and by that point I just wanted to leave so didn’t bother asking to see it. I hate to leave a bad review but just wanted to enjoy a birthday meal and was very disappointed.

Sadly every dish was over cooked and really dry. We couldn’t eat the monk fish, steak tacos or the lamb. We left hungry and disappointed with the meal after reading such great reviews.

Was really exited to try here with our friends who were visiting for the weekend. We arrived early and hoped to sit and have a drink prior to our booking. Only to be told they were too busy and already behind with bookings. The restaurant only had one table taken. We left and came back at our booking time. We had booked for bottomless brunch. As we arrived again we were greeted with the barman stating how busy it was and because of the weather they had alot of walk ins for drinks on the terrace. Again there was only 1-2 table taken in the restaurant. We were seated and ordered our first drinks. One of our favourites is amaretto sour but after the first drink we were shown a box of eggs and told that there was only 2 eggs left so we could either eat them or save them for the sours! I stated that since the bottomless brunch menu was 90% egg based then there may be a problem! We managed to squeeze in 4 drinks in the 2 hour period we were there. And theat was a push as they also ran out of sugar syrup and ingredients to make the bramble cocktail! One of the guests was vegetarian and the order was taken incorrectly so she had to wait whilst we all had our mains. The food was OK. Really disappointing.

Lovely meal wonderfully cooked and very accommodating to swap things around, thank you very much we will be back

Delightful bar staff nothing was to much for them ,very polite Food excellent,would highly recommend

A very enjoyable evening, friendly and helpful staff, great value, looking forward to returning.
