Really great atmosphere and lovely little place. Great meal as good as I had remembered from being there 6 months before.

We booked the Smokey Cow for a birthday meal for 10 people. I received an email asking for a pre order so that we weren’t disappointed if there weren’t items on the menu and so it would be easier for the kitchen. This was sent over a week in advance. I received a call 2 hours before our reservation to be told there were no pies available, which three of our party ordered. When I stated we sent over a pre order and asked the reason for this I was told ‘the kitchen have lost the pre order and pies were never ordered from the butchers.’ On the way over I called the restaurant and added the replacement meals and asked to check the order over so there were no issues when we arrived. We arrived and ordered drinks, to be told there wasn’t enough of what we had ordered, so we needed to choose again. we were then told they didn’t have those drinks either. Before our food, we were notified that one meal was missing off the pre order - which we couldn’t believe as it was on the email that was sent and was also on the order when we checked on the way to the restaurant. The food is incredible and despite the issues, staff were lovely. The lack of organisation, however, really let the restaurant down. I have been before in a smaller group and visited another Craft and Jam restaurant elsewhere, and never had these issues.

Lovely food and a friendly atmosphere

Service was amazing the girl serving couldn't do enough for us. Food was great value for money.

Popped in for a drink last week during a walk around the village. Pleasantly surprised to find out they serve food during lunch too. Dark haired manager on bar was friendly and talkative, telling us about the family owned group.

Great meal here over the weekend. Lovely girl running the pub, really great service. Food was delicious, we had one of the specials.

Having recently moved to Shropshire, this was our first visit to the Smokey Cow. Lovely Shropshire village location and cool contemporary look & feel to the pub. Service was okay and food was tasty & reasonably priced. However, my partner has Coeliac Disease and is therefore allergic to gluten. Fortunately, in this day and age, most progressive pubs have a GF menu or clearly marked GF options on their menus. Sadly, the Smokey Cow has yet to catch up and when requesting the GF menu, after a 5 minute search for it, we were handed the dreaded ‘allergens folder’ which is frankly a horrible experience for any diner. It is much nicer to be advised what you can have rather than given a list of what you can’t have which in this case was most things on the menu. On a more positive note, after requesting that the waitress ask the chef if they could adapt any meal a GF option was provided and the food was delicious. My advice to “Craft & Jam” is to consider the customer experience of being handed the allergen folder and move with the times like so many others. Brunning & Price is a great example. Sadly, we won’t be back.

Food was ok service was terrible not because of any attitude but poor girl was on her own. Room was freezing

Our first visit to this lovely 'village' located eating house which we fully enjoyed. Our table for eight was celebrating a birthday. All the meals were excellent which was served on hot plates nicely served by the staff. Our supplied birthday cake came on time lite with candles and a verse of happy birthday was start by the staff. I don't think the staff could have been more helpful well done all Thanks Smokey Cow,

Excellent meal at Beckbury with Friends. The food was top quality and the pub is situated in a lovely village. We will definitely be visiting again soon.

My favourite local place for great Sunday lunch, really tasty and plenty of it, nice ambiance, warm and comfy surroundings, would highly recommend

Great meal, attentive service and the quality of the food was 5 star! Thank you for a lovely evening.

We all had a Lovely meal at the Smokey Cow ! Food was really nice and the staff were really friendly. The Smokey Cow Dog was amazing and i finished the lot. No fault and looking forward to returning again!

Having had a Craft & Jam voucher we decided to go to the Smokey Cow for Sunday lunch on 7th November. We were greeted by staff who were very pleasant and welcoming. The restuarant was very light with plenty of space between tables. For starters I had olives and hubby had brie wedges which were absolutely lovely. Mains were brisket of beef which melted in your mouth. Veges were cooked to perfection. We only had one dessert as I was full. I did have a spoonful to try and again it didn't disappoint. Compliments to the chef. Wines are a very reasonable price which was very pleasing. Thought the meal the waitresses were very attentive. Well done to you all and thank you for a lovely lunch. I certainly recommend you.

Lovely meal! Food was amazing and staff were really friendly and attentive! Couldn't fault and looking forward to returning!

Awsome food !! Only fault I have is the fries are not very nice and the chunky chips are not that great either. Probably just my personal preference but I stand by it. Everything else was just out of this world !

We went on a Wednesday lunchtime. Spacious and pleasant environment. Food was very good - very tasty and well presented; reasonable value. We both had pies . One of us had the fish pie which came with crispy onion mashed potato - great. However, this particular pie was also topped with mash which we didn't realise until served - so a bit too much mash! The other pie was lamb - expected chunks of lamb but was actually minced lamb - still v tasty though. Lovely roasted veg medley. Great selection of gravies. Service was good The atmosphere was lacking as we were the only ones there - maybe because not much passing footfall (??)

Had such a lovely meal here the other night! The food was so good - the Smokey cow dog in particular was amazing, hot dog & Mac cheese, can’t think of a better combo!! This was the whole reason we booked a meal here in the first place and it didn’t disappoint! My partner had the tower of cow burger which he really enjoyed - the meat especially was full of flavour and the portions were massive! We both upgraded our fries to messy fries which was the best decision ever! When we come back, we’ll always upgrade our fries! I had the buffalo chicken fries which tasted so nice!! Something as simple as coleslaw on the plate tasted really lovely too! Love homemade coleslaw! The service was great, the lady made sure we were sorted for drinks and checked the food was all ok, really friendly. Overall, it was a really pleasant meal and so glad we picked here for my boyfriends birthday meal! Highly recommend and will be back soon! The only reason for the low rating on atmosphere was because it was quite quiet so don’t feel we can really comment on this but as it was a week night, we didn’t expect it to be busy in all fairness and it was still lovely to be able to choose where we sat and just have a good night the two of us. Thanks so much!
