Reviews in Telford

Warm welcome from your bar staff, good atmosphere , table was a little dirty could have done with a bit more cleaning. Drinks and food knowledge from your friendly staff really excellent . Burger was disappointing, ribs excellent

Went for Sunday lunch here and couldn’t fault the food even my fussy 9 year old son said it was amazing. It was just a shame that our experience was slightly tainted by the service. Once seated we had to keep asking when we wanted to order something as there wasn’t enough staff on and we had to wait quite a while once we had managed to order. We could hear that quite a few mistakes were being made by the kitchen with other tables around us and I felt sorry for the 2 members of staff who had to keep apologising and rectifying the errors. We would return for the food and just hope that it was a one off with the service as it is a lovely pub x

Absolutely lovely staff lovely food all over great place will be coming back again

Went to celebrate my birthday Menu choice was really good Food and portion size was great No milk for coffee but offered to fetch some immediately Will return again

Nice place , staff good and friendly , the wait for food was too long for me ,,about an hour . Will try again just in case it was a staffing issue for the wait, if same thing again we will go somewhere else for £75 for 3 of us that will be a lot quicker , we are local and would prefer stay local , but for price I want quicker , lots of other pubs cheaper and quicker within 10 min drive ,so we will see next time ,drinks service is fast as table service keeps the bar free

Absolutely amazing food been here a few times now service and food spot on always definitely recommend

Came here twice in one week! The food was that good!! The chicken burger and beef brisket are incredible and the halloumi starter is fantastic! The staff are really lovely too.

Family dinner for father's day. Excellent service, excellent food.

Went for Sunday dinner. Really friendly staff. Food wasn’t the best. Missing items. Food not hot only warm. Spuds rock hard. Meat more fat than anything else. Wouldn’t bother again.

Had lunch there with friends, food was great and service was perfect.

Distinctly average. Booked a table for two on Bank Holiday Monday expecting it to be busy. It wasn't but we still had to wait an hour for our food. We ordered the signature Pies which were nice but nothing special, accompanying "Hand Cut Chips" were tasty but needed crisping up a bit (after an hour?) and broccoli was undercooked. Draught Beer was off due to a faulty pipe. Staff were friendly and apologised for delay in meals arriving but didn't offer an explanation. Better options in the area for similar prices.

A lovely little pub set in a beautiful countryside location. The food was very tasty and reasonably priced. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We will definitely return

We booked a table for 5 (4 adults and 1 child) for 5pm on Bank Holiday Monday (27th May), we were camping nearby (Worfe Camping) and we enjoyed a lovely walk down to the Smokey Cow. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. During taking our food order the staff did nervously explain that they were low or out of stock on some items. We did not mind at all as they had been honest straight and offered us several options as alternatives to replace veg for example. The food absolutely did not disappoint and was very tasty. Excellent value for money with fantastic portion sizes. The quality was second to none. We all including the 6 year old throughly enjoyed 3 course meal. The staff continued to demonstrate fantastic sense of humour and superb knowledge of the menu to advise is and offer suitable alternatives. We all left with very full bellies following our hearty meal and we highly recommended The Smokey Cow. Thanks to the chefs and front of staff for making our already enjoyable holiday even more memorable and gor ensuring we were all fed. Excellent value for money, good quality, superb staff. The little one enjoyed a quick play on the play park before leaving too. Toilets clean.

Food amazing!! 10/10 service horrendous staff too busy on their phones pay no attention at all! Such a shame nice place amazing food! Reluctant to return purely for awful service!

We visited the Smokey Cow for a Birthday meal on a Tuesday night, awful service, took 25 minutes for anyone to come take a drinks order, then a further 25 for anyone to take our food order. The place only had 3 other groups in. So massive wait times between ordering and being served for every order We ended up having to go back to the bar multiple times just to ask for starters to be taken away, 30 mins after finishing them. Really expensive drinks charging £4.20 for a appletise. We had the Smokey cow Burger, I assume these burgers were the economy burgers from Spar, really rubbery and had a weird texture, I only eat half and left the rest. Really poor service and really expensive, for low quality food. Won’t be going back again and will tell others to avoid and go somewhere better.

My partner and I came here for tea last night (18/05/24) and we couldn’t fault the place. All the staff were absolutely lovely and the food was amazing! Greeted by staff as soon as we arrived and promptly taken to our table. Highly recommend the chicken and waffles. All food was cooked to perfection and great value for money! Looking forward to our next visit very soon. Would recommend to anyone wanting to go!

Amazing roast dinner with friendly service. We'll be back!

Food and service absolutely fab, staff extremely friendly and attentive. Food was delicious the beef brisket melted in your mouth
