Bottle and Glass in Shropshire

Not the easiest place to find but well worth the effort. A proper pub, good local ales, excellent food at very reasonable prices and all in all convivial atmosphere , in a nutshell everything that a good pub should be. We look forward to returning soon.

Enjoyed this dog friendly pub!! We walked in to a lovely lady who served our drinks. The setting is lovely and peaceful. Food looked lovely.

We’ve just moved to the area for a month and happened upon this delightful place. And aren’t we glad that we did! The quality of the real ales is fabulous and they clearly know how to tend them. The staff are very friendly and welcoming: Vanessa, Nathaniel and George have made us feel at home. We’re looking forward to checking out the food soon. Every plate that has passed us has looked and smelled very inviting. A warm and welcoming community spirit awaits you here.

Just what a proper village pub should be! Plenty of chatty locals, very dog friendly, good value, nicely presented food and a range of different drinks including a very tasty flat local cider. We visited 3 times during the week…..it was literally 50 yards away so we didn’t have an excuse not to!……and ate twice. Wednesday evening is steak night, and we had two sirloins and a bottle of Pinot for £48! Excellent quality meat and even better value. On Friday we had fish and chips and pan fried sea bass with vegetables. Both were excellent. Service is friendly and efficient (the bar man brought our drinks to the table even though we were 5’ away! The locals were (mostly) interested in our two dogs and chatted happily with us about theirs and local life. Like a lot of country pubs these days it’s not open on Monday or Tuesday, but when it is, it’s a real pleasure and one which will hopefully continue to thrive.

Used to visit here when I lived locally and noticed the excellent ratings on TA. We booked for an early dinner and it was quiet and a bit lacking in atmosphere, perhaps understandable considering the location. Owner was friendly an we ordered a bottle of Red, reasonably priced and some olives, they were excellent. Food was generally very good although the Lamb was a bit lacking at £17. My friend said the peas were hard and there were no other vegetables. A very good visit and I'm sure we'll be back again soon.

Current owners have done a great job smartening this old pub up. Cosy and warm. Service was excellent with very friendly lady looking after us, a party of 12. Lovely home-cooked food, we all enjoyed the evening and were made to feel very welcome. Many thanks.

Delightful pub/restaurant that we are lucky to have as one of our locals. Menu is small which means it’s all freshly cooked, with plenty of choice and good size portions. My friend and I had the fish pie which was delicious, hubby had tagine. It’s a little hidden gem.

A tremendous Village Inn I visited in a group of 9 friends for dinner Everything was excellent The staff were friendly attentive and efficient The food is homemade and was agreed by all to be really excellent and served quickly and piping hot There is a good selection of beers on the bar and a good wine list. We shall be back!

Popped here as part of an 8 mile walk whilst at Farmer Phil’s festival. Good choice of beer and cider went down well! Had snacks for lunch which was lovely. Staff friendly and welcoming. Will defo be back 👍

Had Sunday lunch and was very satisfied with the roast beef and all the trimmings. Summer pudding dessert was lovely. Good real ale (Hobson's) Only downside was that we were stuck on our own in a room, so no atmosphere. Pub is in beautiful countryside and worth the trip.

Great little pub in the middle of nowhere. Tortuous country lane to get there but well worth it. With family stayed locally for a week and ate here 3 times out of 7 nights. Without doubt the best food we had all week. The main attraction is the steak pie....also the steak pie, and more especially the steak pie. Without doubt the best, absolutly the best pie we have ever had anywhere. It would win awards. Perfect pastry (top and bottom) full of succulent meat (no sludge), gravy to die for. I think you get the picture. I hope the same ladlord and landlay are still there and they continue their great food. Especially their pies.

Nice old pub. Good selection of NA beers as well as regular beers. Food was nice enough, but my wife was disappointed with the fish finger ciabatta. There didn't seem to be wifi or mobile phone coverage either, at least in the garden.

Lovely location, great service, great food and good value. Off the beaten track but worth the visit

Called ahead before we arrived were made to feel very welcome, found our way did find it a bit tucked away but found a better way home, both had starters very nice, mains was lovely home cooked food, price was reasonable, will be back

A cosy, warm pub on a very cold and icy evening. Friendly welcome. Food was excellent. All home cooked and great value for money. Will definitely be back.

We booked a meal for early Saturday evening. The food was excellent with my Chefs special game pie very good indeed.

Went for Sunday lunch, excellent food, very welcoming friendly service. Our walk took longer than expected and the Pub kindly kept the kitchen open so we were still able to have lunch. Good choice of food at reasonable prices. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely little pub in a small village off the main road. Good choice of beer and wine. Really good home cooked food. Really welcoming behind the bar.

We came for Sunday lunch with my two sons and partners and little grandson and had the most lovely Sunday lunch. Nothing was too much trouble and my chicken roast was delicious and the gravy was just how I like it, thick and flavoursome, not watery and tasteless. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was spot on! I would highly recommend the Bottle and Glass if you are in the area for great food and a warm welcome

This pub was recomended to us by our holiday accomodation hosts. They were not wrong, this is probably the best pub for grub anywhere in the area. Limited but adequate simple menu of wholesome meals. We intended to tour other local hostelries during our weeks stay but ate here 4 evenings out of 7 because it was so good. Reasonable prices, even for a bottle of wine! The absolute winner meal was the home made steak and ale pie. 2 of our party of 5 had this 3 days running. Best pie ever from any pub anywhere was the consensus and the other meals were top notch too. Nice big parking area in a really unspoiled little village in the heart of the Shropshire Hills a MUST to visit.

We went twice for food and drinks in August whilst staying in Picklescott. Absolutely perfect. We would of been happy with a decent meal given its the only place around, but instead its some of the best food grub I've had. Good ambience, nice outdoor area in the quiet surroundings of Picklescott. Reasonable range of beers on and great range of quality food. A large part of why we would go back to Picklescott, or make a detour if nearby

We ate here while staying in the area. We were made to feel very welcome, as was our little dog. The menu was very good. We had steak and a home made lamb tagine, both of which were delicious.

Read reviews and thought a must. Greeted by a young man who I am unsure if he had just started working there or was shy/ unsure. Nice staff though. Chose the steak deal for my father and myself. Me a medium rare fillet. More medium...

The homely feel has gone. The fire is unlit and the Staff are not ones for a chat. The fire has always been lit here which adds atmosphere even during the summer evenings. I visited with friends and we were so cold we ate in...

We had a lovely meal at The Bottle & Glass. I thought it was a bit closer to Acton Scott Historic Working Farm when I booked, so it was a bit more of a drive than we were expecting, but it was well worth it....

What a lovely pub. It's in the middle of nowhere but is always worth the drive. We had been up the Lawley with our dogs so the open fire, the local ale and excellent steaks really topped an enjoyable evening.

The food was absolutely brilliant and absolutely exceeds the usual "pub grub" standards. We visited the pub 4 nights in a row and tried something different every night. We were never disappointed. Lovely, friendly atmosphere and the service was always on point. I was also...

Walked the Mynd and needed a proper bait.... Got an awesome pint, lunch, pudding and log fire. Really really good... Come here

We called in our way home from visiting Stokesay Castle as my son had stayed in the accommodation here a while ago. Huge fireplace lit and cosy feel. The shortcrust steak pie was fantastic, full of tender meat and probably the best I've ever eaten....

Lovely location, food was beautiful, well presented and tasty. Menu was minimal but something for everyone. The pub was clean and tidy and had a wonderful log fire. Highly recommended, I would definitely go again.

Excellent charactersome warm cosy original low-beamed pub - ‘real’ log fires - friendly amazing staff - thankfully not been ‘tarted up’ to loose its character inside or charm. We had very tasty meal there last weekend ! Thank you

We stayed locally and visited the bottle and glass twice we loved it so much. Vanessa was lovely and friendly, we enjoyed chatting to her. We were made very welcome and enjoyed our meals. The steak night on Wednesday was perfection and excellent value for...

A quintessential English village pub, a little of the beaten track, but well worth the small detour to get there. The pub itself is warm and quaint with lovely surroundings and inside is a delight. They have a good range of drinks including local cider...

We stopped in here after visiting the area and a day's walking the Long Mynd. After looking at the menu we decided to top up our calories and opted for the steak pie. Our daughter ordered the burger (which came with a big salad and...

My husband, two friends and I enjoyed a wonderful evening at the Bottle and Glass. The food was excellent; staff attentive and the overall experience brilliant.

Not the sort of pub you chance upon as it is a bit off the beaten track. However you will want to return. Good food and beer in traditional country pub surroundings.

Hi very friendly pub, owners and locals, We both had steak pie, Delicious packed with meat, Lovely old pub we ate in the restaurant side, Good beers

Lovely old country pub, literally in the middle of nowhere, down some twisty narrow country roads.

Found this gem whilst staying at Nest Cottages, been there twice already and still four days of the holiday to go. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the beers are excellent and the food is great value and very tasty (pub grub, but done well). Will definitely be back when next in the area, keep up the great work...!!!

We visited the pub twice during a recent stay at Middle Farm Cottages. A group of six of us were accommodated on the Saturday night. Need to book! The pub was obviously very popular for its food and rightly so. Lovely steak and ale pie and a good vegetarian option ( one of a few)...butternut squash and walnut tart. Desserts were equally good. Rhubarb crumble recommended! We will definitely return when we next stay in the area.

It has been a long time since I last visited this pub, I won’t leave it so long again.

Lovely little pub in a beautiful location! Staff were very friendly and helpful! Food was absolutely lovely.

Were recommended this pub and we weren't disappointed. Food was great and the husband and wife team who run the pub are very friendly. It is very popular and rightly so.

We stayed at the Bottle and Glass in Picklescott and and from the moment we walked through the door were made to feel very welcome, the 17th century country pub is very picturesque, the food was of a high standard, the staff were attentive and our room was clean and cosy.

“You eat your victuals fast enough;

Thankyou both for your warming welcome & being so attentive.we have not visited for years due to living elsewhere & it was lovely to come back & visit.Open fire which bought back memories for mum,needed it today as freaky weather hailstorm sunshine!

Utterly disappointing. This pub has so much potential yet it is wasted on the rude service, dirty surroundings and poor atmosphere. We found the owners to be uncomfortable and unnatural hosts. Vanessa was snotty and discrouteous. Attention to detail is lacked with the tables in the bar being dirty and staff just marching past??

Our local pub is thriving under new management. Vanessa and Nathaniel and family have settled in very well . We have eaten and drunk in the Bottle & Glass frequently sine they took over and have thoroughly enjoyed our meals there and the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Lovely warming open log fire. Dog friendly. A perfect place to stop if you’re visiting the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

We have been several times since the new ownership late last year!

Lovely lunch and very reasonable price. Very dog friendly. Beautiful setting; will definitely go back.

Created a walking route which took in the Bottle and Glass so we could grab a spot of lunch. On arrival we came across a picturesque olde style pub with a small bar to one side and a cosy restaurant to the other. We had two dogs with us and this wasnt an issue for the owners who we soon found out were new in to the pub. Great little selection of ales and ciders on tap, and delicious lunch baguettes. Dogs were made to feel more than welcome with the owner treating them to some dog biscuits. Also a special mention for the Rhubarb and Port Crumble which went down very well. Wish this pub all the success and should be a must for people walking in the Long Mynd region.

On a rainy Boxing Day lunchtime we made an unplanned visit to Bottle and Glass to see if we could get something to eat. The snug, with a lovely roaring log fire, was crowded so we went into the dining area and seeing some of the tables were set we asked if is was possible to get any lunch. The young lady serving behind the bar asked if we had booked? No we said we only dropped in on the off chance. She consulted her husband and it was agreed we could eat. A lunch time menu was provided and l ordered a filled omelette and my wife a filled baked potato. In the meantime l had a pint of bitter and my wife a glass of dry white wine.

Sunday lunch for our group of seven was a great success. The food was well prepared, generous portions, excellent desserts. Service was efficient and unobtrusive. The ambience is of a warm, welcoming, well-managed country pub. There are two small-ish bars/dining rooms, so it doesn't feel crowded or noisy.

We've visited the Bottle and Glass quite a few times over the last year and despite living 90 minutes away, consider it to be like our local! Recently under new ownership, we went on the second night of opening (first night of serving food) with friends who had never been before.

Our friends invited us for a weekend on the Farm. After a good fishing trip and looking after the animals the highlight was a night at the pub. The pub has recently changed hands and our host for the night was Vanessa. The night we went was the first time that they were serving food. The previous night being drinks only!.

We spent a couple of nights at the Bottle and Glass in Picklescott at the beginning of October. It is not the easiest place to find but it is set in a beautiful village in the glorious Shropshire countryside. The rooms are comfortable and pleasantly furnished and we dined in the pub on both nights. The meals were excellent and reasonably priced and the service was excellent too. We also enjoyed the very filling breakfasts which set you up for the day. Highly recommended.

We had an evening meal here while staying in the hamlet and enjoyed it so much that we went for Sunday lunch. Both meals were freshly prepared, piping hot and served by friendly people who obviously wanted us to have a pleasant experience. We loved sitting by the log fire in the bar midweek and the dining room for Sunday lunch was comfortable and pleasant. We'll be going again.

We tried this pub restaurant after a gap of a few years and were not disappointed. The pub is set in picturesque countryside and family run. A relatively limited menu, but very good indeed.

Ate here August Sunday Bank Holiday, booking recommended, nice simple pub food, lovely location, a bit off the beaten track but that made it extra nice.

Went in for Sunday lunch this week.The food was very good.The pub has a good atmosphere with a log fire on a chilly late summer day .A sticky toffee pudding to finish made thos a great meal.we will be back

A group of us had a walk up onto The Longmynd and decided to stop for a drink and something to eat, the pub was bustling but not over busy, nice friendly atmosphere and the food was good “pub grub”.

This was a return visit from our holiday in Church Stretton.

We stayed about 3/4 a mile down the road in Nest Cottage so a comfortable walk, which is useful and rare when staying anywhere rural, normally!

We arrived with friends to find the pub surprisingly empty on a Friday evening, but found a very warm welcome. My friend fancied a gin, and was presented with a whole list to choose from, eventually plumping for rhubarb! Good food, unhurried service, and our meal was punctuated with laughs from all tables as a horse outside kept making its presence known - apparently it wasn't impressed that the owner was eating inside! Puddings were great, and my request for 'lots of custard' was most definitely satisfied! We left just as a couple of guys arrived on their tractor, which our 'townie' friends were most amused about!

We visited this quaint country pub , and were not disappointed. It was busy but we were served quickly. We both had fillet steaks ,which were cooked to perfection. I had roulade for desert which was a little small for the money but very nice all the same , my husband had sticky toffee pudding which was lovely. Definitely visit again .

We had booked a table for 6 so that we could eat in relay with some walkers eating later.

This pub is the only place of its kind for miles yet it certainly doesn't let its standards down. Excellent relaxed atmosphere, nice beers, and very good quality pub food....

We’re always looking for new country pubs to try, and on a perfect summer’s eve we arrived at this one.

We were staying locally in a holiday cottage and always visit for dinners and lunches. The service is always exceptional and the food is very tasty. We had Sunday dinner here as well as several evening meals.

Stayed May 12th one night for the racing at Ludlow the following day, was impressed from first minute. Had lovely meal and a few pints and made most welcome from start to finish. Breakfast before leaving for Ludlow was spot on and wasn’t rushed off to check out. Thanks for a great stay hope to see you again. Nick & Colette Pemberton

My friend Johnny and I visited the Shropshire Hills this April with a set purpose of tackling a 5 mile walk starting at The Bottle & Glass in Picklescott village. The pub will print you a map if you ask and it's listed in Christopher Somerville's book of classic British walks.

Just returned from a walking weekend and stayed at the Bottle and Glass. So relaxed, lovely people, great food and stunning area. A breakfast to behold! Thank you Jon and Elaine a very memorable stay and a good time had by all. Good luck in all that you do. No hesitation in recommending.

I lovely restaurant pub nice old world feel to it as it furniture on keeping with the old large cottage exterior. Very friendly hosts serving. and food excellent I was only sorry that I could not have had a dessert aswell but I had a small snack on route to wales before we went in to eat .We were looking for a nice stop off and this place came up on trip Advisor a little way out of church Streton only about 2 miles but worth every Mile we will definitely go back and maybe next time take in-laws thank for a lovely traveling break

The owners were warm and friendly, the food was great (and catered for my gluten free diet), the beer tasty, the bedroom and en suite very clean and comfortable. It's a perfect position to explore the stunning area.

last time I passed here it was closed, took a chance today and drove by to thankfully find it open, super friendly staff and a warm welcome from them and the open fire. Nice pint of bitter shandy (I think it was Hobson's), lovely home cooked food very well cooked and presented they have a limited lunchtime menu which is understandable, we will be back for an evening meal to try some of the other offerings and bringing either family or friends with us..

Lunch today after a great walk round the hills. The landlord opened up for us before our walk so we could use the facilities, lunch was waiting for us when we returned. Great welcome, terrific food, thank you!

Had another cracking meal and overnight stay at The Bottle and Glass. Been a few times now and it's just like staying with friends. Lovely warm welcome from Jon and his staff.

Called in late Saturday afternoon whilst on a 20 miles sponsored walk...stayed open for us even though the pub was closing. The fire in the bar was still warm, as was the welcome, and a great range of beers too. This is a ‘must do’ pub if walking the Mynd!

We stayed at a holiday cottage half a mile away in October and fell in love with this place and ended up eating her 4 out of the 7 nights!!! We came back after a hectic January and just wanted to escape for the night and booked a double room and a table for dinner.

My wife decided to surprise me with a night away here, we have eaten several times in the past while staying at Middle Farm Cottages. As always a great welcome from John and his regulars, its a lovely pub with a very friendly atmosphere, you always hear stories about small pubs in villages and references to an american werewolf in london. This certainly isn't the case here.

We went here as a large group - adults with children ranging from 3-17 after a local walk in the area. The walk was cold and muddy, but we worked up a decent hunger. The food had been pre-ordered from the pub food menu, and it was served quickly and was great. The chips were devine! The service was excellent, the staff very friendly and helpful and didn't mind the muddy state of us. Most amazing was the price of soft drinks- only £1- don't think i've paid that since the 80's. A really friendly pub with extensive menu and a kid's menu.

Let me say this was a fantastic evening in lovely surroundings and superb freshly cooked food.

Loved this pub, very traditional with a lovely crackling log fire, delicious food and generous portions. Friendly and welcoming owners too, the place has a real charm and was definitely welcome after our afternoon walking!

What can I say....A perfect sunday lunch in a beautiful country pub with open fires and friendly dogs. Perfect. Good service, Good food choices and delicious roast dinner and desserts.

For many a year, I have passed this establishment only to find it coded, but, the last time I passed, it was open.

My husband, brother, sister-in-law and I had lunch at the Bottle and Glass yesterday. We were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome from the landlord and enjoyed excellent beer and draught cider whilst waiting for our food. It wasn't cold in the dining room but the landlord lit the fire for us which added to the cheerful ambience and it felt very cosy in the old, panelled room despite the cold wind that was blowing outside.

Me and my girlfriend visited The Bottle and Glass yesterday afternoon after a cold and rainy walk around Carding Mill Valley, my girlfriend decided on this particular pub for lunch after reading positive trip advisor reviews - we was not disappointed!

My partner and I visited The Bottle & Glass for lunch midweek. It is a lovely pub in a very picturesque village off the beaten track but well worth finding.

This was the fourth time we have eaten at the Bottle and Glass and again we weren't disappointed all the food was excellent and the two ciders they have on draft were really good as well. The service was second to none and we were really looked after even sorting out some ice for my dad to take away for a drink back at the holiday cottage. If you are in the area definitely give this place a try

We were staying nearby and always planned to eat here. We walked down the hill from our rented cottage and were met with a friendly welcome, not just the landlord but also the regulars. I have several of their real ales that they have on tap which were served at the perfect temperature. We then had out evening meal which was piping hot and delicious. Can't recommend it enough. Warm, friendly welcoming atmosphere with great food.

Ten years ago we were out walking with friends and they took us to this gorgeous 17th century inn for lunch. In those days it was owned by a very outgoing chap who wore a bow tie which was not quite what I had expected in this little out of the way inn. I fancied the lasagne.....OMG! I had hit the jackpot. It was the best lasagne I had ever had. A year or two later I was still dreaming of the great taste experience and we went back only to find the inn had changed hands and the lasagne was no more. Last Wednesday we found ourselves in the area area with two friends from San Francisco and having checked on the inn's opening times I saw several reviews about how wonderful the lasagne was.......was the cook back?? We rang through as we left Ludlow saying that it might be a little tight to get there before 2.30pm - no worries they said - give us your order over the phone and we will have it ready for you when you arrive! Well that was easy two lasagnes and two veggie wellingtons (goats cheese, tomato and basil). We skidded into the car park and were made very welcome by the new owners and our lunches appeared within minutes. I chatted to the new owner who explained that he had managed to persuade the old cook to return and that her lasagne was her own secret recipe! One happy bunny - ten years on and I was experiencing that wonderful dish again, The Wellingtons were also very good. This is also a place to stay for B&B and I would thoroughly recommend it. It is a little gem in a hamlet that is so out of the way in the glorious Shropshire countryside that it needs all the patronage it can muster - well worth the trip. Thank you landlord and family for making our trip into Shropshire even more memorable.

After a few difficult stressful and upsetting weeks my husband and I decided we needed a break away from it all for a weekend. We found this pub online as we would never have known about it otherwise. Well,what a find! Lovely pub, great food, marvellous atmosphere, really comfortable bed and room, superb welcome and service....what more can I say? Just loved it and the weekend spent at this lovely pub has really lifted our spirits..Thank you so much. We will definitely be back.

We were on business in the area and through Trip Advisor found this amazing pub. Settled in a small village in the Shropshire countryside this pub is chocolate-box pretty but much, much more than scenic.The food is excellent and great value we had belly pork, steak and Guinness pie and lasagne - all three dishes were excellent and I topped it off with a delicious lemon tart. All with a good selection of freehouse beers.We were lucky enough to be staying overnight, in the comfortable and spacious bed and breakfast rooms. Everything you need is there and spotlessly clean and everything was done properly, at the end of the evening Jon the landlord gave us flasks of cold milk for our bedrooms as they don't believe in uht milk, a small touch but really nice.In the morning we went for a very fine full English breakfast as with everything about the Bottle and Glass it was superb.This pub with bed and breakfast is very highly recommended, and a big thank you to Jon and his team.

House hunting & staying overnight in the area we chose this pub from a list recommended in our b&b. So glad we did! A lovely welcoming place with friendly staff. A fire burning, low ceilings, old world charm. A table was made available for us, cosy & quiet in the corner. We decided on the home made Lasagne which came with salad & gorgeous chips.It was delicious. The relaxing atmosphere & lack of loud music enabled us to chat & enjoy our meal. Highly recommended.

Dinner for six on two nights and dinner for eight on another night. All superbly cooked and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. The vegetables were cooked just right in line with their sense of humour!

The friendly welcome we had when we called in on spec was excellent, and so was the service and food.That made us return - twice.This is a REAL pub - not pretentious in any way, but the welcome, the service, the atmosphere and (of course) the food put it way above most others. A real fire, in a real pub, serving real food prepared by real, friendly people, what more can you ask?The trout (as a special off menu) was beautifully cooked, and all our family (dog included) were made very welcome. Definitely recommended

Stayed here for 2 nights and the meal was excellent. Price indicative of area. Restaurant was lovely, service was excellent. Would recommend.

We visited last year whilst on holiday and couldn't resist visiting this year.The Bottle & Glass is well off the main routes, so allow time and plan your route.Once found there is adequate parking.The welcome as before was warm and welcoming. We were offered a choice of tables, all adequately spaced and both neat and clean.Drinks were ordered and menus provided. The menu was extensive with interesting choices.Orders were efficiently taken and whilst there was a delay until they were served, this was anticipated with meals freshly cooked.As before very, very good.

Deze pub ligt tamelijk afgelegen in een klein gehucht op een schitterende locatie. de pub zelf is erg gezellig met een gezellig interieur. De eigenaar is erg vriendelijk. Het eten dat geserveerd wordt is lekker en zeker niet te duur. Een aanrader!
