Reviews in Telford

I do write this review through gritted teeth, reason being, this isn’t a great review, yet, the menu and food itself is excellent. Everything else is the issue. The friendliness of the staff was great, but, overall service, attentiveness to the table and time for the food to be served is disappointing. From seating to placing an order was fine, but, we must have waited 50 minutes for our meal. Once finished, we sat with empty plates for quite some time and actually wanted to order deserts but gave up in the end. After asking for the bill and again waiting some further 10-15 minutes I went to the bar to pay. For a booking on a Sunday afternoon where the restaurant was at about 50% capacity and lastly, considering the price range is mid-higher end, it was disappointing. If you are prepared to put up with this, for nice food, then go for it!

Had a lovely meal. We went for seniors menu but no vegetarian dish on menu. I was allowed to have the roast veg tagliatelle which was lovely. Had the sticky toffee pudding and custard which was also really nice. Unlimited tea or coffee. Very quiet at lunch time

We visited the Smokey cow yesterday and had a table booked for 6 people the food and drink was excellent, really enjoyed it! Are waitress was Charlotte and she was very welcoming and we had a great service from her! Definitely would recommend eating here and we will definitely be returning!

Really lovely pub amazing food cooked by luke the head chef best steak we have had in ages. We definitely recommend.

I wish we lived closer to this little gem. Food was excellent. Will go back even with the drive. hopefully nicer weather to use the lovely garden play area.

What a lovely find. The 3 adults and two children in our group had a lovely here on Sunday, good food, very pleasant staff, good drink, fair prices and generous portions. A lovely experience, many thanks!

really nice meal and really nice staff. Will be back in the new year. Thanks.

We (4 of us) had an excellent meal off the festive menu yesterday. The food and service was superb and we will be returning in the New Year to sample the normal menu.

Great food, relaxed atmosphere and lovey staff. Very enjoyable evening Than you

Disgusted to be asked to complete a review after last nights chaos. Booked a table for 3 on October 24th for evening of December 2nd. Booking fully confirmed by email shortly after. The fast forward to the evening and I left my office in Cannock to meet family for the meal. On walking in. The place was deserted apart from one person behind the bar and a table if 2 drinking. The staff member was surprised to see me and also challenged that I had a booking as the kitchen staff had walked out two weeks earlier and no food was being served. I did show him the email with confirmation of the booking, to be fair the chap did apologise, but didn’t stop my displeasure at not being contact after travelling 30 miles to get there. Just a sorry and goodbye, not even offered a drink. Was too busy rolling a cigarette to care.

Visited the smokey cow for the first time yesterday. The place itself very lovely decor and environment. Lovely waitress replaced with a lovely guy to finish our service during our meal. Food was ace and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Will definitely be returning

Ordered a Caesar salad and was missing the chicken and egg when it arrived. Chicken when it did come was just some chicken from the fridge section in super market warmed up in the microwave (was super dry). The egg was stone cold and still had shell on it.

Enjoyable Sunday lunch. Pleasant, modern restaurant. Food was good quality and quantity was good. Two minor issues - firstly we asked where the meat came from, and whether is was from the butcher next door and the waiter said she didn't know (we heard nothing further), and secondly I asked to have broccoli instead of red cabbage and was told that wouldn't be possible because the chef prepares the food "by numbers" (no idea what that means). Still a place we would be happy to return to - but neither request should have been too difficult to fulfil.

Hi, we booked a table for 4 based on a number of friends recommendations. We arrived on time and were promptly given a menu each. Having chosen our starters and main course the waitress then presented us with another identical menu but this one had nearly all of our choices unavailable. We didn't stay for our meal as we were so disappointed with the now severely diminished choices. If we had been given the second menu at the beginning, we may have stayed but considering the poor start to the evening probably not.

Absolutely wonderful experience here - 4 adults and an infant on Saturday afternoon. Special thanks to the chef that day for being so generous and understanding with our little boy and gave him some biscuits as well as offering to cook him extra things. We felt it was good value with some nice wines on the menu and we had an all round great experience - only knocked off a star because the food all lights had a mind of their own at times with the flickering. Overall we would definitely return!

Second visit for us due to being so impressed with the Sunday menu last time and we really wanted to try the new menu with family. It didn't disappoint! The food was beautiful we were well looked after and had a great time! Already looking forward to our next visit. My only point is that when we asked the waitress questions about the menu and drinks choice she either said she didn't know or had to find someone to ask. Possibly extra training needed to make it perfect.

12/11/2022 first visit to BK, we a tad early but was welcomed and shown to our table. Service was great and from point of order being taken the food wasn't long and OMG the food !! Perfectly cooked and every bite had amazing taste. I would 100% recommend visiting and it most certainly won't be my last visit.

Really good quality food. Really unfortunate that the staff were not trained and didn’t know anything about the food men or even the drinks menu. When asked questions the waitress and waiter didn’t have any clue about anything
