Cooper's Arms in Shropshire

Came to the coopers arms for the fish and the batter was proper crispy and tasted amazing. Hopefully there will be more on the menu when we next visit though 😄

We went to the Coopers Arms for a meal tonight. It was very welcoming with all the Christmas decorations. The food was brilliant and plentiful, and the service was first class as usual. Great to see Jeanette and Arron again along with Gary. They have really worked hard to provide a safe and welcoming atmosphere.

Coopers recently reopened but used to be a regular for us. Good size, tasty meals at reasonable prices. A bit empty on a Saturday night so could do with the previous regulars coming back, we certainly will.

First time at this restaurant, very friendly staff happy to help with anything. Food was well worth the money. I will definitely be back again (Social distancing was done perfectly and hand sanitizer in a non touch container on arrival). Both me and my family were very impressed.

It's the first time we have visited the pub since the the management took over. Very helpful and polite staff, the food was really good. Had the prawns and salmon with both potatoes and chips. The beer (Timothy Tayler) was bob on, great pint. We will be back.

Visiting friends locally thought we would have a look and see what we could find, boy what a gem, family run, great cleanliness reporting for track and trace and a fantatsic and. Varied menu, we all decided on roasts and we were not disappointed outstanding produce used every dish finished and really enjoyed would travel again to visit without a doubt, stunning place with a really nice friendly welcome.

We called in on our way home from Stoke, having passed by dozens of times over the years, and found out what we have been missing. We sat outside as we had the dogs with us, but when it started to rain were shown to an inside table very quickly. We had roast beef and roast turkey which came with mash & roasties, yorkie & stuffing, 3 fresh veg & gravy. We ordered extra sides of yorkshire pud, pigs in blankets & cauliflower cheese. An extra gravy boat full of gravy was served as standard which was fab, as most places are very mean with the gravy, The yorkshire puds were to die for and the cauliflower cheese was lovely and creamy, The whole meal was perfectly cooked and plenty of it. The waitress was friendly and efficient. The ladies was really nice and clean, with gorgeous soap and handcream - a lovely touch. Would highly recommend.

Amazing food and staff really friendly & helpful. Very clean. Cater for vegans & vegetarians. Will be returning. Thanks you!

We can in on a Thursday evening to have food and it was amazing. I had the gammon while my partner had the rump stake medium rare. The services was great. We then had a few drinks in the bar area and we were served by Jordan and Janette who were very attentive! Thank you for a great evening for our anniversary and we will be back again soon!

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Food was delicious. I had the Sirloin steak, and my partner had the roast beef. Didn't have to wait long for the food. Service was excellent, and really enjoyed the meals. Nice pint of Guinness as well.

Visited our local pub for Our first meal out since lockdown We were greeted by friendly and attentive staff The food was excellent and piping hot , one staff member explained to us that there would be a wait as food was freshly cooked and not rushed . The food was definitely worth the wait it was delicious and we will be regularly eating at The Coopers 5 stars!

We were coming back from dagfields antiques, the wife said she was hungry, I spotted the coopers arms and pulled up on the car park, plenty of parking, and because of the pandemic I went in and asked if they were doing food, yes the reply with a lovely smile and pleasant atmosphere, so I got the wife came back in where we were met by the waitress, she had on a mask but was really nice and showed us to a lovely clean table, we were given a menu, and the waitress said she’d come back when we knew what we wanted, we had 2 coffees and made our order, lamb shank and a pie of the day, food came out in 10 to 15 minutes, the food was superb, really really nice, presented lovely really hot and we were offered salt/pepper and any sauces, we ate the food and ordered another coke and a coffee, my wife had a desert fudge cake, I was full, fudge cake came out and same again my wife loved it, the waitress cleared the tables and really looked after us, I genuinely can not fault the place, we left paid our bill and we will definitely use the coopers arms again, I just wished we lived closer, 100% recommend the place

Lovely place with lovely staff. Well worth a visit. Atmosphere was lovely and social distancing was very good.

Just been for a first post lockdown meal having not eaten here before and have to say it was superb. All social distancing adhered to and hand sanitizer etc but still felt like a friendly atmosphere. Food took about 40 minutes to arrive but this is because it's all freshly cooked and we chatted and had a few drinks while waiting. The roast was amazing, crunchy roast potatoes, lovely Yorkshire and a side of cauliflower cheese that warmed the soul....and I dont even like cauliflower!! Can whole heartedly recommend for a great 'social distance' meal

My family of 5 have just had a really nice takeaway meal having heard the recent reviews. The fish & chips, pie and chips and the burger and chips were enjoyed by all. I would definitely recommend and I will be returning. Top marks to the new owners 👍🏻

decided to try the Coopers after hearing good reviews for the new landlords. Food was great all 5 of our different meals were fab! Really hot when we opened it up at home. Friendly staff who stood 3m from our car and had a good chat about how busy they’re getting! Will deffo return.

We had lunch in the Coopers today. The food was delicious and very nicely presented. My carrot and coriander soup was hot and tasty. My steak sandwich was served with hand cut chips and a very fresh mixed salad with a nice dressing completed an excellent lunch. The Lancaster Bomber beer was also on top form. Very welcoming staff and a great house music selection.

Immaculate and friendly, very good menu with food to match -the fish pie generous size and delicious. Under new management ( 2nd day) we will be returning with 25 walkers for lunch very soon

My wife andI visitd the Coopers Arms for a meal this evening , we were quickley met by a young lady and shown to out table , we first checked the prices which were very good , and we duly ordered our meals , we did not have to wait to long before the meals cam both my wife and myself were both surprised how large they were and very well cooked and nice and hot , we will certainly be visiting again , The drinks were very good to

When we arrived for our lunch today we thought how cold it was inside, however when we saw that there were two fires and neither were lit we couldn't believe it. Everyone had there coats on ,and one customer even mentioned how cold it was, but the fires were still not lit ! And also you get a desert included with your roast dinner, but you are charged £2.95 for cauliflower cheese and 50p for a Yorkshire pudding! I have never been anywhere that charges for these, so really you are paying for a desert!

The food was amazing we had the Sunday lunch. The staff were friendly and although the service was slow it seems that is not the usual case so perhaps a bad day. Our only gripe to spoil an otherwise excellent meal in a nice country pub was the mistake of giving us a table which had obviously been booked by an elderly couple who were non too pleased when they turned up for their lunch. This was not our fault but the gentleman in question continued to throw comments as we ate so was a little annoyed. This was a genuine mistake and credit to the staff who tried their best to appease the couple with another table.Thank you again and compliments to the chef

Not the best review im afraid. We called here after passing on several occasions and thought we would give it a try . Although the food was good when it arrived, we had to wait over half an hr for it, but it was so cold in there. Everybody had their coats on. The sunday roast was two courses for £10.95, but you had to pay £2.95 for cauliflower cheese and 50 pence for a Yorkshire pudding !!!. Cant see that we will be returning. Not until summer at the laest

Called in with the family for Lunch on Remembrance Sunday. The food was faultless and the new staff were very welcoming. Well done and thank you we hope to return soon.

We called in today for lunch, host was absolutely lovely he couldn’t welcome us any more than he did without being over the top. Lovely pub, spotlessly clean, fabulous menu choice at reasonable price, all in all excellent service, tasty well presented food at a very reasonable price. We will definitely be back

Came for a late lunch, fairly busy but got served quite promptly. Staff are welcoming and efficient, drinks were brought over to us and didn't have to wait too long for food. We had the lunch menu, generous portions at great prices. Very pleasant experience in a nice friendly pub will definitely be returning and will be recommended it to my friends and family

Went to the Coopers Arms a couple of weeks ago for Sunday lunch with the family and the food was great so decided to go back with just the husband today. Wednesday night is supper club, 2 courses for £9. We both had mushroom soup which was really tasty and filling. I had the butternut and goats cheese lasagna which was massive, freshly cooked and packed with flavour. My husband, a fussy eater, had the liver, mash and onion gravy which he couldn’t fault. The food is obviously cooked by someone who loves cooking. The quality is good, presentation excellent, packed with flavour and very generous portion sizes. Staff are friendly and service quick. Great place to eat and excellent value.

The Bentleyboys visited the Coopers Arms today (Wednesday 16th October) and were warmly welcomed by Sarah who really looked after us lads, she served our drinks & took our food orders, the food itself was first class and the Hunters Chicken was delicious, as were the other meals the lads had. Thanks Sarah your a Star and a real asset to the Coopers. See you all next Month.

Just had lunch here with my husband, and had the most delicious food! Hubby had steak and ale pie, which was such a great size he struggled to finish ! I had hunters chicken, was so succulent and juicy. The place is warm and cosy, as are the staff! Very friendly indeed, nothing was too much trouble. All food is freshly cooked and very tasty. They have a lunchtime menu, which has smaller portions, though the girl forgot to give us one., but never mind there is always next time, and for sure we will be back, as it is very good value for money. Felt like an old fashioned local!

Not been there for a while. Had a lovely meal. Staff very welcoming. I am a fussy eater nothing was too mich trouble, met my every need. Left fully satisfied will be back again.

I called in the Cooper's Arms with my young baby, very welcoming atmosphere, pub is spotlessly clean. Staff were very nice and attentive, took me to a table to accommodate myself and the pushchair. The menu looks very appetising, lots of gluten free dishes. As it was lunch time I finally decided on a jacket potato, it was plentiful and delicious and very well presented. I'd like to thank the staff for their help and for finding me a quiet spot to feed my baby, very child friendly. I will definitely be back and also recommend this place for the fantastic food and excellent service. Thank you for a very pleasant experience.

Visited the pub last Sunday lunchtime very nice pub and very welcoming staff only visited for a drink but seemed very busy for Sunday lunch . What I saw meals looked very nice coming out of kitchen next time I visit think I am going to have to try some lunch as all meals looked very nice and smelled delicious coming out of kitchen

Been to the Coopers arms a couple of weeks ago, liked it so much we came back as a group of five. Had great service, the staff are really helpful and friendly, everyone was very happy with their food and we found it good value. The car park is a good size and it is easy to find. I would definitely recommend this establishment. It is under new management and I wish them every success

We stopped here early evening on our way to Chester. The two waiters/bar men were very friendly and polite. Service was quick and efficient. It was a friday and they had an offer of fish and chips for 7 pounds. My husband and I had this and it was delicious! Beautifully cooked fish and homemade chips. My daughter had the burger, which she said was yummy! A lovely pub, friendly atmosphere. Would highly recommend. Thank youxx

During my visit with my husband and children , I found the staff helpful and pleasant , and the food to an ok standard however over priced. The manager is completely rude and was unwelcoming towards the children , when asked a question she responded in a abrupt manner. Needless to say we will not be returning. The falcon inn has much better customer service . Such a shame a once thriving establishment in this little village can be brought down by one rude person.

We have been several times since it reopened and haven’t had a bad meal or service. I would recommend going there for a meal. The food is home cooked and very reasonable in price with plenty of offers on throughout the week. Will definitely be going again and again.

So tasty, not your run of the mill menu, fresh, hot, lovely people, friendly, helpful staff. Couldn’t get better anywhere.

The worst service I have ever experienced, the waiter did not know what the dishes of the day were we ordered our food, 45 minutes later we asked where it was. The waiter said they are doing it now, no apology 15 minutes later still no food. We decided to leave we paid for our drinks which was an insult and still no apology. When we arrived we were only the second table in there, so I assumed there would not be a long wait, needless to say we will not return.

10 of us ate here and everyone’s meals were excellent from starters to desserts . The staff are very attentive and it has a lovely atmosphere. This is now our favourite place to eat every Monday .

we had a fantastic meal value fot money lovely freindly staff personel touch with receiving a anniversary card i would recommend this pub

LovelySundaylunch good service friendly staff shall definitely return this was our first visit after being recommended by family who had been the week before

First time we have been in since new management and we were delighted. Friendly staff and excellent large plates full of good pub food. Good value too. Recommend.

We were passing threw and called for Sunday Lunch. The staff are very pleasant and obliging and it seemed reasonable as it made out that you were getting a free pudding, The lunch came we had beef so traditionally we had the Yorkshire pudding with that and we had cauliflower cheese. The lunch was lovely, but the beef was like pressed meat, awful. I had bread and butter pudding which i normally love, but i am sorry to say it was awful. When we payed the bill i though it was dearer than expected. I new we had to pay for the cauliflower cheese, but they charged extra for the Yorkshire puddings. When we worked it out in the long run we were not getting a free pudding. Won't be returning.

Went there last night for dinner. The choice of food is great and they a selection of 2 for 1 meals on Thursday. Considering they’ve only just reopened under new management the main menu is extensive and the starter of spam fritters took me right back to my childhood! The main course of haddock and chips was delicious and the chips were possible some of the best chips I’ve had. Highly recommended and definitely going back here again

Food is OK Nothing to get excited about prices are reasonable, food was cooked and presented well staff were good

We ate here in the first week it opened under new management. Natalie couldn’t do enough to help, the food was delicious especially the burger with pulled pork and huge onion rings plus the homemade chips are the best I have had in a longtime. There are lots of good country pubs in the area but this one is definitely worth a visit for its warm friendly welcome and excellent home cooked food.

What a find. Staff attentive, smart and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Varied menu, even for the coeliacs among us! The food was delicious - home cooked and beautifully presented. Looking forward to my next visit already.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening here - very friendly staff and a nice relaxed atmosphere. The food was excellent - a very varied menu - especially in catering for a friend’s gluten free requirements. The white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake was delicious. We shall definitely be back.

We called in for a drink my husband was very happy as they had an offer on Doombar. The staff were very smart friendly and nothing was to much trouble. They told us about the offer of the day and weekend offers. We decided to stop and try the offer of the day 2 steaks chips peas musheroom & tomatoe with a bottle of wine for £25 Great value. Our food arrived cooked to our liking on HOT plates we ordered a side of onion rings which were big homemade and tasted delicious. We had pudding also which we picked off the menu. Our experience was really good. We have booked to go back and have Sunday Luch. This is a place we will be using again.

We were looking for somewhere to have lunch and we came across this lovely country pub. I popped in to see if it was dog friendly as we had our little Staffy with us. The front of house manager Matthew told me dogs were very welcome, so in we went and I have to say it was a great find. We were all made to feel very welcome and the service was excellent. It is basically just Sunday lunch on Sunday but because I didnt eat Beef or Pork they did me a Veggie Lasagne which was delicious. My partner had the Beef dinner which came with Yorkshire Pud, Roast Potatoes, Carrots, Parsnips, Cauliflower Cheese and gravey and he enjoyed it very much. We had Sticky Toffee Pud with Custard for dessert which was yummy to. We asked avout the weekly menu just incase we call in on a week day and he said there is a vast menu, including Grill, Gluten free, Vegan and more.

One of my favourite eating places until it closed last year. Whilst there is a limited supply of draught beer the staff are friendly and the food is good and reasonably priced. I am looking forward to the coopers becoming a great pub again

We called in early 6.30pm on Saturday after a long days shopping. Expecting to just eat and go on our way home. Karen, mine host, was more than helpful and friendly. We ordered two meals from the 2 for £10 menu and were more than pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meals. We both thoroughly enjoyed the very well cooked and presented meals. Along with a bottle of wine which was recommended by Karen. We enjoyed it so much we stayed and enjoyed a drink in the bar and met a few of the locals. This will defiantly become a local restaurant for us to relax and enjoy an evening or two. I would definitely recommend this pub/restaurants to all. You will have to go a long way to find such quality and value as the Coopers Arms. Will will go again, most definitely. !!!

Great to see the the village have a proper pub again. Gary & Karen extend a very warm welcome whether you just want a drink or your are dining.

Just been to the coopers at Woore, environment and food was excellent, food produced in a timely manner, can recommend A1 experience staff very pleasant can’t do enough for you, will be back soon.

CLOSED by order of the owners a brewery of course, and a sad loss to the Community of Woore. We are told on Financial grounds. It is now our fro Lease. Sorry to see you and your staff go Joe, you did a splendid job at a good price!!!!

lovely resturant and surroundings. Staff excellent. food Excellent. It was a lovely day, very busy a Sunday better if you book

I've been told by the Falcon Inn opposite that this pub is closed at the moment because of a change in management. It will re-open some time in the future. If you read the reviews this pub has an up and down history!! You decide if it's more down than up or vice versa!!!

Went for a meal at lunchtime for my husband's birthday (6 of us) We had a bottle of wine free as it was his birthday. Very varied menu and we all enjoyed the meals we had. The desserts were delicious too. It was well worth the ride from Market Drayton.

Headed back into Shropshire from the nearby garden centre to find a pub for lunch with friends we haven't seen for a long time. The Coopers Arms was clean and the menu displayed at the door offered wide choice. We found a very pleasant table in the window. We were all pleased with our lunch choices. It was good to have chips or new potatoes or jacket potato on offer with salad or veg. I had my lemon and dill sauce on the side of my substantial salmon fillet. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his steak and kidney pudding with chips, as did our friends who had duck breast and belly pork. The guys were on Timothy Taylors. The dishes were well priced and the service friendly and attentive. Greatly enjoyed.

In fairness to the Coopers, the Hunt actually met at the Falcon in 2017. Not sure what Coopers said to them this year, but last year they declined to host it I'm glad to say.

Went Boxing Day for a meal with family, 8 of us. The food was not only delicious it was also hot and well cooked, The staff were friendly and very attentive. There was plenty of choice from the menu, especially gluten-free, the pub also offers gluten-free beers. The prices are also very reasonable would definitely return it. Thank you for a lovely meal

Once again we had a fantastic dining experience. Friendly staff and very good meals. Large portions and great atmosphere.

This pub must support fox hunting as there is a Boxing Day hunt scheduled to meet here at 1pm. See the Keep the Ban website - this pub is listed. I’m afraid I won’t be visiting this pub.

I visited the coopers arms with my daughter and 2 grandchildren. The meal was lovely and service was excellent. However, there was a lack of ambiance, very quiet and no background music. Spoiled the experience I’m afraid

myself and partner just called today on spec...we both really enjoyed the service and the food was excellent. i had...

Went today three of us two steaks steak kidney .pudding. apple pie pear tart sticky toffee pudding friendly staff excellent...

Nice food and polite staff and clean ! Was not intending to eat here but having a disaster at the...

9 of us went for Sunday lunch to celebrate our golden wedding.I must say how delighted we were, the food was excellent, the staff went above & beyond to meet our needs. The beef & turkey were cooked to perfection, & there was plenty of veg too.We all had different starters & puddings & everybody loved what they had. The atmosphere was brilliant, thank you Julie Joe Mike & staff for a wonderful golden wedding.

Eaten here many times in the past & never disappointed so decided to pop in for lunch today, how wrong could we be. When we walked into the pub all we could see were reseved notices on the tables, a few diners were already seated but it wasnt busy. I asked one of the waitresses if there was a table free for 2 & she promptly went to ask a woman behind the bar who was either the proprietor or manager. The woman asked if we were "walk ins" & the waitress said yes - the woman abruptly replied " no we haven't got anything". As we left the pub feeling extremly unwelcome we spotted one table laid for 3 which was not reserved. So they could have easily accommodated us but they prefered to turn business away - our money is as good as anyone elses. We ended up at The Elephant in Shavington who had a table ready for us in 15 minutes and the food & staff were excellent.

We were a party of four. The first choice of one of our party was off the menu. Another member of the party discovered that both their first and second choices were off the menu. This information was not given until sometime after the orders had been taken and no apology was made. The ironic thing was that before our orders were taken we had commented on the amazing choice given on the menu.Having said that the food served was of a good standard and value for money.

Cannot understand why people are so negative with their comments. My husband originates from Woore, and as we were in the area we called in for lunch, could not fault the meal, service or staff. We had a most enjoyable couple of hours, relaxing over a lovely meal and pleasant atmosphere.

called on the Tuesday for a late lunch, ate from the specials board, liver and bacon, also the sausage special. very good prices and great meals, the staff too great.

We have eaten at the Coopers Arms many times and have always been pleased with the food and service. However, on visiting there last week we found the food is now being served on smaller plates but the prices remain the same as before. We were in a party of four and two had chips with their meal, there were six chips on one plate and seven on the other! The steak and kidney pudding had four tiny pieces of meat in and no kidney, it was just a really disappointing experience and we won't be visiting again. Come on Coopers Arms get your act together before you lose more loyal customers.

We have visited this pub many times over the last few years and have always had a good meal but since its refurbishment (Cant see what they have refurbished) it has gone so bad.We went there for my birthday meal, a party of five of us. When we arrived at 3.00pm there a lot of the tables reserved but none were taken later in the evening so who they were reserved for is a mystery.We were sat and the waiter came over and explained that there was a few things on the menu that they had run out of. about five in total. we placed our order at about 3.20pm and about 20 minutes later a second waiter came over and advised that they had run out of an item we had ordered. We made a different choice and waited for a further 30 minutes for our starters to arrive.The starters were probably the best part of the meal and they were below average at best. My son has leek and potato soup and it had a half piece of potato in it. The starters were cleared and we had to wait a further 20 minutes for our main courses, even though there was only 2 other people eating at this point.The mains came out at last. I had ordered the belly pork with apple gravy. It looked like processed apple sauce added to bisto. The belly pork was obviously cooked in advance and re-heated in a microwave as the bottom of it was absolutely burnt and too hard to cut. The beef bourginon was watery and had very little meat in it.At this point we saw the chef coming out of the kitchen to get a drink from the bar. He was scratching his nose and face and looked filthy like his uniform needed a good wash.We decided not to have desserts as we couldn't handle any more disappointment.One of the party was drinking wine and the measures were short every time.The restaurant was offering a free bottle of bubbly for any pre booked table to celebrate someone's birthday. We were told you only qualify if the table is booked by the person celebrating their birthday. We complained and they did let us have the wine.When we went to pay I was disgusted at the way the manager spoke to his staff. We were paying by card and the young girl was struggling with the card machine. The manager called her all sorts of names and berated her in front of the customers.We will never be visiting here again.

Good beer, ambiance and excellent value food with also gluten free menu. Just what is needed in an English village

Decided to pull in here rather than go up the road to the extortionate Wyevale! It was a lunchtime and we weren't disappointed by the selection of cask ales and the range of food on the menu. The portion sizes of the burgers was ideal and the burgers were immense! The service was great, smiles and jokes abounded!Throughly recommended.

Had to wait 15 minutes just to get a drink and nearly 45 mins for food Enjoyed the food when it finally arrived, but very slow service.(not especially busy) Soft drinks expensive as will not be returning there for quite a while.

Called at the coopers arms today for lunch with my husband had a wonderful meal pleasant and friendly staff lovely atmosphere would definitely recommend and will definitely return

We have asked ourselves why we have not stopped here before. The greeting from the young lad was great with a wonderful smile. We waited quite a while for the meals but oh boy they were worth the wait. I had the Chicken in Stilton and my darling wife had Gammon and Peach Salad, sensational!!!My little niggle, the Wifi was not working and when I asked I was told it might be to do with Punch Inns and no real effort to sort it out. But hey we came here to eat and you had better believe we will be back very soon for another wonderful meal. You must really try this place guys.

I visited this venue over 12 months ago and liked it. After reading the terrible reviews I decided to go back and try it for myself. I am sorry to say the terrible reviews are correct. Not many customers in the pub but we still had to wait 15 minutes for our order being taken despite us telling the staff we were ready to order, their reply was the same "Julie will take your order", It's as if they were afraid. Something is very wrong with the way things are run, I won't visit them again and would not recommend my family or friends to visit the pub.

Very poor. Waited 15 minutes before order was taken, when it arrived only 2 meals arrived, 3rd meal arrived 20 minutes later when refused to take the meal only then were we told we wouldn't have to pay for it, ( damn right.) Half way through the meal between the slices of meat was a fly. The manager was aggressive and unprofessional, had no intention in listening to us, he says and I quote ( you will get fly's because it's warm) The manager is not interested what the customer has to say if you are complaining, needless to say we won't be dining there again.

Terrible rude arrogant service from the gentleman behind the bar! No please or thank you when paying for also terrible meal! Simple jacket potato , dry, hardly a spoon full of chilli equally bland!Very disappointed as recommended by friends! Will not be using this establishment again! Unfriendly, no manners shocking .

My Husband & myself have been regular diners here for over 10 years.This visit My Husband's 60th Birthday was the LAST. Terrible Service. Not even A 'Happy Birthday' from any of the staff, despite a 60th helium balloon on the table & birthday cake given to them. Table booked for 1 pm. meals arrived at 2.30. My 3 Grandchildren were so hungry we had to buy them crisps. No apology. We had been quoted a 25 minute wait when ordering. After 45 mins we politely inquired where it was. A member of staff asked behind the bar & we witnessed A roll of the eyes & a Tut from him. The reduced portions looked pathetic on child sized plates. We were so disgusted we had no desserts & we took the birthday cake home to have there. The 60th Birthday Celebration was a disaster. Attitudes towards paying customers need to be changed by staff. No more recommendations just poor memories.

Bad service. Rude, slow staff and extreme waits are not good enough. Lovely bar and location ruined by staff that can not answer any simple questions, provide what you need or smile. No friendly banter or friendliness. I felt like I was an inconvenience just being there. Fresh new waitresses are definitely needed. We had to ask twice for service. 20 mins just to order. Drinks were served then left on the bar and not delivered. We were told when booking we would get free wine for a bday. It's advertised on their walls as you go in too. They did not like this and would not deliver until we had pestered 3 times. We had to buy bar snacks to feed the kids as they were so hungry waiting.The man behind the bar is so rude. Extremely miserable face, he tutted at me because he had to fetch more crisps from the back. He had walked off before I finished my order. Then when the waitress asked him where the food was for us, he rolled his eyes. No apology just keep waiting.Food took an hour to come out on top of 20 mins to order.We were asked what condiments, 10 mins to fetch them. The restaurant was almost empty at this stage.The food in all fairness when it came was absolutely delicious and hot (although all tiny quantities. Adults same size as kids) the only horrible meal was the megastack burger. Fatty and the pulled pork couldn't be cut, it was also served on a child's plate with 1 onion ring and 7 chips.Decided to save £50 and leave deserts & coffees as couldn't wait to go home.First time I had ever not left a tip too.I wish i had read the reviews on here before visiting. This business will not survive unless the owner starts listening to his customers reviews & deals with the issues, instead of challenging people to ring him to discuss.People don't want to argue, They just don't want their occasions ruined.

Travelling home from our latest jaunt, we were feeling a little peckish. I had decided that our homeward would be a scenic way of travel from Chester. We meandered along twisty lanes enjoying the countryside,(much better than motorways).It didn't matter that we met roadworks, temporary traffic lights, & great artics. Entering the village of Woore, temp. trafficlights halted our travel at a T junction, dead opposite "Coopers Arms". Time for a comfort stop & a chance for food & beverages. Luckily, they were still serving food. With drinks ordered we surveyed the menu. I chose "escollop of pork" with trimmings, Pat chose chicken wrapped in Parmesan ham. A healthy appetite is required, should you choose to eat here, which I certainly recommend. No doubt we'll call again should we be in this area. Compliments to the host & all the staff. Alan & Pat.

Awful family meal!I wish I’d reacted to my instinct and walked out before ordering!After being told by a waitress that she only had one table available (although the restaurant was empty) we sat down and perused the menu. Once we'd ordered the waitress then began to move 4 tables to make a long table, rather than ask a colleague for help, she simply dragged and pushed the tables along the floor making a god awful noise dropping cutlery as she did so. We found ourselves talking louder to one another and cringing over the noises!My husband's chair was knocked by the waitress trying to squeeze a high chair through a gap that was far too small.I opted for the Vegetable lasagne which was extremely dry and the only thing to taste was chewy cheese?My husband chose the battered cod which looked a lovely fish but had zero taste.My daughter had chicken nuggets which she described as slimy. ALL of our chips were chewy and rubbery! Chewy chips how?The kitchen bell was constantly being rang, which would start with a single 'ding' to more ferocious dings as the impatience of the kitchen spilled out into the restaurant.We were never asked if we were enjoying our meal.We ate the meal as we were all hungry having waited to eat what we thought would be a lovely meal. We paid and promptly left and we all vowed never to return.I can see from other negative reviews that the owner is keen to reply and blame the guests for their awful experience. To the owner - I wish you luck in your business and advise you to take these reviews and work on what is wrong with your business to make it a success.

Call in for something quick to eat, it was a quiet evening and the service was lovely, food was brilliant, all home made! Will definitely be back and would recommend!

Ordered Thai Fish Cakes for main course expecting "Soft cod flakes and prawns combined with lemon grass, ginger spices and shredded potato with a crispy dusted coating served with sweet chilli dip" as described on the menu. What actually arrived was 2 hard, dry, cheap brand type supermarket type fish cakes which contained no recognisable pieces of either cod or prawn, and no hint of lemon grass or ginger. They would have been more aptly named potato cakes and the accompanying vegetables were cold and over cooked.The dessert was not better. The fruit crumble was again comparable to the cheapest supermarket brand, i.e. overly sweet with rock hard crumble.Although the restaurant was not busy (despite being the bank holiday weekend), the staff were very slow in taking our order and hard to get hold of throughout the meal.We have eaten here many times before and the food has been nice so were rather surprised to find the standard had fallen so dramatically. Not a very nice experience overall!

Visited on a week day for lunch. We had two haiwian chicken , which consisted of butterfly chicken breast with melted cheese and pineapple on top,with a choice of either new potatoes, chips, mash or baked potato, with vegetables or salad.We also had steak and kidney pudding with a similar choice of potatoes, vegetables etc. Drinks consisted of two teas which came with a side chocolate and a half pint of bitter. Total cost came to £29.25.The food was well presented and tasty, and the staff pleasant and helpful. Very pleased with our first experience of dining here

Standards have fallen way below what is acceptable in recent times at this once flagship gluten free country restaurant. The food CAN be of a really high standard and the menu is fabulous but what is served up has become increasingly inconsistent to the point of being inedible on occasion. This could be overlooked if the senior staff were not so surly and rude. Requests that one source of music be maintained, rather than music from the bar competing with music from the kitchen were sneered at disdainfully; a request for a particular table in an almost empty restaurant was met with sarcasm and so on. The reason such a nicely situated, nicely furnished eatery with such a good specialist menu is always empty is that the management are not up to the job. Arrogant, rude, miserable, smelling of stale cigarettes, can't smile or look you in the eye. No idea how to be with people. Sell up and give someone else a chance. Never again.

We were so happy to find a place that advertised a gluten free menu and found the menu to be good to their word. For 3 months we travelled from Stoke at least twice a week and introduced family and friends. The refurbishment is really quite nice and the menu adequate and reasonably priced. However, the standard of the food has slowly but surely gone downhill. We ordered the same thing twice in one week and one day it was quite nice and the next it was bland and very different. The loud music/racket from the kitchen competing with the music in the restaurant is unbearable. There is always 4 or 5 items not on the menu. One of the older waitresses stinks of stale fags and the man behind the bar is so miserable and rude it can hardly be believed. We wondered why the place was always quite empty, it's taken us 3 months to realise why. I have taken to writing this after one of my family members was subjected to extreme rudeness by the man and I feel embarrassed that I recommended this place to them

The coopers I have visited for many years. Steak has always been fantastic. However the last 2 times I have visited I have been more than disappointed. Staff quick to tell us what they haven't got on the menu. Empty pub, kitchen playing rap music very very loud, with swearing in I might add, which has always been the case. No atmosphere in the restaurant. Then the meal. The steak could of been cooked one of 2 ways. In the microwave or boiled. That steak hadn't seen a pan. It was shrunken, dry and almost grey in colour, for just under £20. The steak sauce was disgusting, at just under £4.Over priced and not very nice.Happy staff wouldn't go a miss either.Never to return

Was put at a droughty table at the door despite the place being half empty.Food was OK but the service was terrible.Will never go again.

Booked a table for a lunch time birthday meal, excellent menu even though a couple of items had sold out, but they were explained at the outset by the the very friendly staff. All our meals where hot and tasty and great value for money. Check out the specials boards there are some good evening offers as well. Comfy pub with a pleasant atmosphere. Well worth visiting.

Decided to pop in after visiting bridgemere for a bite to eat . Greeted as we entered the door and was shown to our table by a polite young girl who took our orders for drinks and gave us the menu to look at . Both myself and my husband chose fish with chips ( hubby having cod and I having plaice) . Food was lovely especially my plaice ,large portions and well worth £8.00 paid . We will definitely be coming here again but for a Sunday dinner next . A reminder to people thinking on dining here in the evening or at weekend to book beforehand as it is a very popular place to dine . Gorgeous old country pub in a beautiful country village well worth a visit .

Took my mother for lunch on Saturday but very disappointed with the service. We waited at our table for what seemed like ages (bearing in mind it was not at all busy). I finally went to the bar to ask for a menu to be told it would be brought over to us. I then went back to the bar to ask if we could place an order. Was told someone wold be over to us. After 25 minutes we finally placed our order. After 10 minutes we were told that there was no naan bread to go with our curry. This was not a problem as we had both ordered fish and chips. Food actually arrived quite quickly after the delay in ordering and was very nice. After our main course we asked for desert menu (I had to go up to the bar AGAIN to ask for the menu which was brought over to the table - when they were ready to do so and not a moment before). We waited for almost 15 minutes to place order for desert and then just gave up. I asked for the bill. It did not arrive so I finally went to the bar again and paid there. We were obviously invisible to the staff. It is a shame because the food was nice and it would have been a good place for us to have lunch on the way home from our regular visits to the local garden centre. I dread to think what the service would have been like had the place been busy!

Been to this venue twice and disappointed both times. First time ordered well done duck breast, which may be an abomination in some people's opinion. What I received was an abomination in anyone's opinion. The breast had been sliced and put under the grill and was tough, burnt and totally inedible. The second visit I ordered beef and stilton lasagne with salad and garlic bread. Who can get that wrong? The Coopers. The lasagne was ok but where was the stilton? It's a flavoursome blue cheese, you can see and taste when it's in a dish and it had been no where near this one. Then we come to the garlic bread, the worst I've ever had. A warm bun cut in half and spread with butter with a bit of garlic IS NOT GARLIC BREAD. If you go as a party they don't apply the daily specials and at our previous visit when celebrating three birthdays we had to repeatedly ask for the complementary bottle of fizz which is embarrassing. Really hope no more family get togethers planned there as I prefer to stay at home and have food I can enjoy.

The menu choice for gluten free is great. Chicken, pasta, fish. There are gluten free starters and lots of gluten free puddings. It is average price with a main course being about £9. The staff are friendly and the pub is clean and homely! Worth a visit if you are local.

We visted coopers arms on way back from bridgemere garden centre, very warm welcome and was told could sit anywhere. All staff extremely friendly, service was excellent, and with a smile :)food was lovely and hot very tasty, spotless clean pub would go again and would recommend.

It is not often I have been so scathing about the service offered at a pub/restaurant but in many years this was the worst ever experienced. In a nutshell (only because I could write a complete essay on the poor service) it was over 20 minutes before our food order was taken. Despite several complaints to the indifferent staff we still had not received any food bearing in mind we had ordered a starter and main course after a further hour and ten minutes. Staff deliberately avoided eye contact and eventually I had to stand up and give the waitress an ultimatum that if the food hadn't arrived in 2 minutes we were leaving. At that point several people in the pub applauded as they were experiencing the same problem. Five minutes later no food so I opened the kitchen doors and said that I was leaving and assumed the drinks were complimentary. The waitress turned round and simply shrugged. Avoid at all costs, over 90 minutes wasted and a day out spoilt

Had been told food was good which it was. It just didn't have a soul, went to order drinks at the bar told to take a table and we'd be served drinks and food at it. Tables unfortunately placed to maximise the amount they could get in, made it feel more like a cafeteria. As I said the food was good, but won't be going again, I like good food in a friendly atmosphere and sadly the Coopers didn't have this.
