Reviews in Telford

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

Great service, great food, and a great atmosphere. very clean establishment and friendly staff.

Went for Sunday Lunch I cant fault the food serviceand value for money but the room was a bit cool and there were not many in but to be fair a bloody good meal

Great atmosphere, very nice little restaurant. Service always top quality, very friendly and welcoming. Food is fantastic. 5 stars in all areas.

We really enjoyed it

Lovely birthday meal at the smokey cow, what an unknown gem! All food was lovely and service was delightful

It was very brightly lit which stifled warmth and ambiance. The staff were pleasant and welcoming however. I don’t recall hearing any background music. The starter labelled medium hot was so hot it was inedible. The pork ribs were tough and also inedible. Very disappointed and despite contacting the company we have not had any response.

Delicious food and great service.

First meal there last night. Cannot fault the service, particularly lovely man on the bar. Unfortunately, the staff are let down by the average food and the cold lighting (although the air temperature was good). The belly pork starter was chewy and so was the short rib which was supposedly slow cooked for 8 hours. Perhaps it had dried out afterwards or not been fully submerged. It was also meant to come with leeks which were missing. And it was HUGE! Great if you have a big appetite but not if you were hoping for dessert! My partner enjoyed his Smokey cow burger however and the Brie wedges were delicious. Lovely place and lovely staff. Fine if you want some average pub grub but don’t expect fine dining.

Very slow service. After waiting 20 mins for someone to take our order has to go to the bar to order food for another 20 minute wait. Just everything was dealt with at a very slow pace and spending over 70 pound on a meal was just a bit disappointed with how slow things were
