Having previously visited here and number of times and loved it, I am disappointed to say this visit was not as positive. We waited almost 50 minutes for our starters and a further 30 minutes for our mains. The food itself was delicious and well cooked but the poor service dampened the mood. The manager did apologise for the wait which we appreciated.
The Smokey Cow – TelfordVisited for the first time this week and was pleasantly surprised. Friendly service and great food. What more do you need? The 'burnt bits' starter was delicious and thoroughly recommended. Portion sizes were just right - not too big, but not too small. First visit, but wont be our last - will definitely be revisiting.
The Smokey Cow – TelfordParty of 5. All enjoyed our food very much. Mains and puddings. Good service.
The Smokey Cow – TelfordWe’ve been here a few times and the food didn’t disappoint. Great value and really tasty. We had to wait for nearly 30 minutes to be served and the food took at least a further 40 minutes to be delivered. The server was very polite and offered us 20% discount for the delays which helped. I noticed they are advertising for new chef/staff so hopefully this will be sorted.

The Smokey Cow – TelfordGreat meal, so well cooked, could really taste the level of smoke in the meat. Service very attentive.
The Smokey Cow – TelfordThe Smokey Cow is a lovely restaurant inside and all members of staff are so lovely and helpful. My starter was lovely but unfortunately my main was very bland. I had never had a chicken burger so tasteless. My other half enjoyed his beef burger so maybe avoid chicken products here. I would visit again and choose something else on the menu. We had to wait a while for our starters to arrive but mains came quickly after we finished our starters.
The Smokey Cow – TelfordThe food was delicious but the service was very slow considering we where the only people dining at that time. The waitresses was friendly but a little slow asking for drinks, bringing menus etc and there where three behind the bar too.
The Smokey Cow – TelfordDelicious food and a cosy atmosphere. Was disappointed to have to wait 1hr to be served our food as there were only a couple of other tables occupied. Staff welcoming and friendly.
The Smokey Cow – TelfordWe were a group of six at 7pm, there was only one other table in the restaurant at the same time. Extensive menu to which we were looking for to. We ordered starters and mains and waited excitedly. Brie wedges - lovely Nachos - lovely Potato skins - tasteless and luke warm 2 lots of chicken wings - acceptable but luke warm Pork Scratchings - ran out. Waitress was very apologetic but very professional. Mains 2 x Macaroni cheese - bland, running and the chicken on the top was cool. Steak and Kidney Pie was ordered, at this time we were advised they had run out! Reordered Beef short rib with jalapeno mash with crispy onions, peppercorn gravy and shropshire blue sauce. Meal arrived, jalapeno was just slices on the top, no onions, they had run out of peppercorn gravy and Shropshire blue sauce.......... How hard is it to make a gravy and a Blue sauce! Especially as there was only two tables and no one else arrived all evening! Smoked haddock and salmon fish pie, creamy mash, seasonal veg and lemon and tarragon sauce. Meal arrived look nice......... the seasonal veg was a slightly warmed cabbage with chopped green beans, the pie had lots of tasty fish but again not hot, the sauce...... they had run out! The other 2 ordered the sharing pitmaster. Ribs and short ribs were tough to the point they could not even nibble at the meat and they were full of gristle and fat. The chicken was ok, the brisket was tasty and hot, sausage was nice, pork and beans were cold, no coleslaw turned up and the corn was luke warm again. Desserts Amazing - everyone enjoyed every mouthful, it was the best course of the day. In short, front of house superb, they are efficient and polite with a smile. Unfortunately for them, they were relaying the apologies from the kitchen. Food - underwhelming, for so many issues to have been had with everyone's meal, it wasn't just one 'fussy' eater. Shame as we have eaten in many of the other branches and had much been food served. Not sure why a kitchen cannot make sauces or deliver food hot. Not an experience we will be returning to try.
The Smokey Cow – TelfordGreat food and great service, would defiantly recommend a visit.
