Cowshed in Shropshire

Place itself is very beautiful but the food was very disappointing. We ordered 3 courses. Starters were lovely. My partners main looked as we expected and apparently tasted very nice. I ordered the Chicken Caesar Salad which was quite frankly shocking and tasted awful. I most certainly did not expect fried chicken (poor quality fried chicken at that), the sauce tasted like prawn cocktail and had a fishy taste, there were no croutons or parmesan... I've had much nicer chicken caeser salads at Wetherpoons for a fraction of the cost. As predicted I barely ate any of the main, and when the lady collected our plates she didn't ask 'if everything was ok'. It makes me very uncomfortable to complain about food in a busy restaurant so I hadn't complained on the night. We just won't be returning or recommending the Cowshed as a nice place to go for good food.

A nice restaurant for special occasions prices are a little on the high side. The food is very enjoyable

Family meal for 5. Atmosphere is very nice, comfortableand cosy. Traditional food on the menu was not good. Beef and ale pie with mash potato. Mash potatoes were so salty, peas were hard as bullets, pastry topping on the pie was burnt, the beef was just boiled meat and very chewy, the ale gravey and carrots in the pie was very tasty but had not been cook with the beef, the pured carrots was very good but its a plate decoration... so i know the chef can cook. unfortunately the ale gravey was all I had to eat from the meal. Other food that came to the table looked amazing, like sea bass and burgers... I wanted a traditional British meal after being away from the UK for 20 years. I most definitely did not get this. Come on chefs the traditional British food when cooked well are just as important as the fine dining each has its place on the menu. This was very disappointing.

This place is amazing. Been a few times to this and the old location and it just gets better every time. The décor is bright and clutter free, the tables are nicely spaced out so there's plenty of elbow room and the service is superb. I have no idea of what's happening in the kitchens to produce such lovely food, but the front of house is quiet and efficient. We had the ciabatta with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and the olives, this set us up nicely for the starter. I had the Courvoisier and chicken liver parfait with toasts and red onion chutney and from the first taste I was besotted. My main was the roast leg of pork with stuffing, crackling and pork jus. I added a Yorkshire pudding and together with the vegetables I was in heaven. Dessert was brownie with cherry ice cream. I think people may have spoken to me whilst I was eating, I don't remember, I was in a little bubble of pleasure. Loved it.

Went for the first time last night. I can’t believe we haven’t been since they moved. We had a fantastic meal, the staff were amazing. Especially Jackie, she went above and beyond and was just a beautiful person. We can’t wait to go again soon, we’ve booked for a Sunday dinner in December but hope to go before.

Good place to food and drink but a bit expensive

Wow great food great atmosphere and great service. Each and every member of staff were polite and friendly. Food was amazing and taste was absolutely out of this world. We will most definitely be back with a few special occasions to celebrate next year with big birthdays.

Great atmosphere and really friendly staff. I’m not sure if they were understaffed when we were there but our food was food was really delayed and cold. It’s a great place but I will give it a go again

A delightful experience that I'll be experiencing again. Friendly staff, excellent atmosphere and great food. Everything you need to round of a Saturday evening. Thank you for the great hospitality

Absolutely the best place we've been in for ages, food fabulous, service outstanding and a frendly atmosphere

First visit after a recommendation. Lovely setting. Nice menu to suit all pallets. Good selection of wines and beers. Price are reasonable. Approx £40 - £50 per head but obviously dependant on food selected and drinks. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Definitely go again and fully recommend.

Me and my partner won a Facebook competition for a three course meal each and a bottle of wine, we we're so nervous as a disabled couple going out suffering from anxiety on arrival but that was soon put to bed by the warm wonderful welcome we had off ever member off staff. The decor inside was warm and minimalist with great views, the food was amazing. I choose simple dishes and my partner went more sophisticated, every dish was cooked to perfection and served beautifully. We will be going again and paying this time it is very worth it for a nice quiet meal.

Exemplary service and wonderful food.

Stunning place and the food is amazing

Excellent food nice staff at good prices

Polite staff but poor food .disgusting food drowned sauce ,wrong in many ways. Menu so small to read and hard to read as light faded nearly unreadable

The service and food at this establishment is consistently good and caters for vegetarians. They are wonderful accommodating children, particularly babies!

Been past The Cowshed a few times and decided to finally try it for an early dinner. The food, service, and attentiveness of the staff are second to none! We've already booked to go back for Sunday lunch and will be taking friends and family when they come to visit. I'd give them 10/10 if I could.

Edit: This place was so good I don’t recall ever going there.

We went last Wednesday lunchtime an incredibly warm day and was after some ice cold drinks and some food. We had no reservation and were there bang on 12pm but Will and the team made us welcome. Food and drink were top notch and the setting is delightful a modern take on an old country pub. Highly recommend.

Beautiful food and service 2nd to none

Visited as a party of 2 on a quiet saturday lunchtime. Service was slow - 30 minutes to receive food. An incorrect side dish was delivered. Steak ciabatta (£15) was smothered in far too much caramelised onion relish which made the bread soggy and the dish too sweet. Chips were ok but nothing special. In general, the food quality was on par with a typical hungry horse / beefeater. They really need to up their game to justify their prices.

This was our first visit to the Boningale restaurant, we used to visit the Pattingham one. Here we found the same lovely owners, same superb quality food and service and lovely restaurant.

First time at The Cow Shed this evening and had the best meal I’ve ever had, cooked to perfection. Wonderful, chatty, cheerful staff, so helpful and nice the owner came over to chat too. Can’t rate this place high enough, the meal was worth every penny! 10/10 Will definitely be going back 😊

A brilliant meal which the three of us very much enjoyed. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Thank you.

Great venue in beautiful surroundings. Food was excellent and service spot on. Would recommend

This was a last minute choice for lunch on a Saturday. The food was amazing and reasonably priced, although not cheap it was worth every penny. Atmosphere was lacking at the start but we were there at 1pm but seemed to pick up later when a larger group arrived. The apple crumble was to die for (large portion so great for sharing) The decoration is great and fun but felt the toilets lacked a bit of tlc. Toilet rolls out of holders, bits on the floor. Only one hand soap dispenser, and could have done with refill. Would recommend this venue.

The wife and I love this place. We highly recommend the Sunday set meals. We tend to visit every one in a while on a Sunday. You have a good selection to choose from. I tend to opt for the Beef and Yorkshire puddings which is very nice and cooked to perfection. Price is reasonable for a high quality meal. Above average price to put it simply but it is well worth it.

Great first visit, beautiful food, great service. Worthy of note, refined atmosphere, quiet but elegant, incredible top restaurant quality food. Beautiful freshly prepared incredible soup starter, steaks and deserts. We will be revisiting often in future. Thanks for a great meal, your chef and staff were wonderful today! I would highly recommend the restaurant to others, well worth a visit.

Absolutely awful and over priced! We had a table of 10 for a 60th birthday. There was only us and another table there and If it wasnt for a party i would have left after the starter. They do not cater for children we had to ask for a child's menu even though we had 3 highchairs and were told chicken or fish goujon. Allergies were also not made clear we just hoped neither of the chicken or fish contained milk. Chef is definitely unaware of the salt reduction policy. We had 2 fish and 1 chicken children's meals that were served with adult starters and the fries had a months worth of recommended salt intake. When I asked for unsalted fries we were given another bowl of salted fries which we were told its just how they come 😒. When our mains arrived each adult made a comment about the salt content, it wasn't very nice! Finally when we finished our mains a bowl of unsalted fries were brought to the table for the children. When we complained the waiter gave lots of apologies and responded that he wasn't the chef but he was happy enough to take our money. I will never return! Definitely not good value for money. Very disappointed

Just dropped in, without a booking. Was made to feel welcomed and squeezed in. Good service good food. Perfect Sunday

Not the old Cowshed i had the sunday pork lunch poor food quality definitely not worth the money....great service friendly and polite but won't be going back in a hurry.

I heard a lot about this place and couldn’t wait to try the place out, the service was decent but the food was not. The starter was ok but the main was terrible, everything was a little bit too salty and for £30 you don’t expect dry pork with over boiled broccoli with what seemed like a milk residue it was lying in to be served to you, all honest the peas was the best part of the meal! Was ok but won’t be back again

Lovely food, desserts a bit disappointing

Excellent from start to finish... Lovely warm welcome, given enough time to have a natter with our friends before ordering... Food absolutely sublime and plenty of it.. Their apple crumble is the best I've ever had!! The staff should be commended for their warmth and attention to detail

What's not to like? The food was absolutely delicious, generous portions and very well presented. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would thoroughly recommend this delightful venue.

Nice meal at the Cowshed, meals were nice and a good size too. Service was on the slow side even though we were only 1 of 5 tables in there. Main did take almost an hour to arrive. Nonetheless, nice food and nice surroundings.

Excellent Mother’s Day lunch, food and staff great. Relaxed and refined modern environment. Definitely recommend

Had a lovely meal, great service and the beef we had was cooked to perfection

Fantastic evening at the Cowshed. Very welcoming, with great service and tasty food well presented. Will return for sure.

Went here for the first time on Sunday for lunch with family and WOW!! What can I say, let’s start with the food first, everything from starter to dessert was absolutely fantastic, high quality food obviously cooked by people who care a lot about what they are serving, this is not your run of the mill Sunday roast that most of us experience, this is a cut above the norm, trust me on this, it’s top notch. The staff are excellent, they were giving our six year old daughter a lesson in waitressing, letting her collect the salt and pepper pots from the empty tables, worlds away from the usual chain restaurant staff that do the bare minimum if your lucky. The venue itself is lovely, the old Horns of Bonningdale, it’s a cracking setting in a great spot. Well worth a visit, you will struggle to find a better Sunday roast in the Wolverhampton area, or anywhere else for that matter. We will be back soon, thanks

sunday dinner absolutely spot on trish was especially lovely

Lovely place and amazing food. One of my top places to eat 😋

As vegetarians we are used to not being well catered for. But the food served was very very poor. Risotto was my choice of main. Possibly the worst risotto I have had. Should be soft and creamy. This was on the plate in the shape of an upturned bowl holding its shape nicely! Which gives an idea of how stodgy it was. Over salted and overpriced! My partner had pasta. Mushroom and leek. The mushrooms were like chewing rubber. If you don’t like leeks you’re gonna struggle to eat at all. Such a disappointing offering for what is a classy restaurant. I would give it 1 star but the staff were brilliant and the place itself very nice.

This was the first time we had visited and we were very impressed. We were quite a large group but the food was served quite quickly, we had prebooked our food order. The food was excellent , there was plenty of choice on the menu. The food portions were very generous. The service was very prompt and all the staff were pleasant and efficient. The restaurant was very modern but had a rustic charm. Our group consisted of very young children to mature adults and we were all catered for.

As always a lovely atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. The food is always better than I remember, honestly the best beef I've ever eaten! The quality of the food is clear, and the chef is obviously very talented. Can't wait to return

Love the Sunday lunches. Beautiful relaxed setting We love coming here and this will be our regular place when we go out for Sunday lunch. Already rebooked to bring family soon. Highly recommend. High quality of food and never rushed Friendly staff

Beautiful place, food, and ambience.

Great food great staff great night this place wipes the floor with miller and carter on every level .... keep up it guys Second year going to the cowshed for xmas great staff great food see you next year great night

Sunday Lunch. Basic menu. Food average, limited choice and drinks expensive. Overall overpriced for a Sunday lunch.

Great food, excellent service .

Really enjoyed the night, food very tasty, just a little wait, definitely go again 👍

Food was wonderful, with large portions, beautifully presented. Service was fine but a little difficult to gain staff attention when they are busy.

Food was outstanding as was the service but extremely expensive. £9 large glass of wine and £8.50 dessert. Only had main, dessert and 1 glass of wine and cost £40. Would only use for special occasion

Visited here for my birthday meal and cannot recommend it enough there were 4 of us, our meals were all 5* and the service was quick & cheerful. Well worth a visit!

Good menu choice. Food attractive and delicious.

Wonderful service, atmosphere was warm and welcoming, food felt homemade yet high class, wine selection was all reasonably priced.

What can i say...this was amazing ...just try it

Came here after being highly recommended. Service was a little slow but staff are all polite and well spoken. We came here for a Sunday roast after looking at the reviews. Meat was good but the vegetables that came with are all boiled and included no roasted veg. Cauliflower cheese was broccoli was cheese sauce over the top. Don’t get me wrong the meat was great but I didn’t expect boiled peas as well as carrots and suede. A little roasting goes along way. So overall average food pudding was good however so that’s good!

Food was delicious 🤤 exceptional service! They had highchair for our little one and offered to bring a drink for him too! Really pleased and would definitely recommend

Lovely evening here - wonderful food, very pleasant staff, quiet/quaint atmosphere, would highly recommend and will definitely be returning🥰

Fantastic food and service and everything all around no complaints

Amazing food, the best i have tasted in a pub in a long time. Excellent, friendly service

We were there at lunchtime and there was a lunch menu card. The food was very good and plentiful and the plates were nicely presented. The service staff was very friendly, efficient and helpful.

Excellent food ...the complimentary stilton soup was so tasty ...very enjoyable meal

Food was sensational ! Lovely decor and atmosphere , there are only two reasons I’ve gave this place 3 stars , they told us when we got there that they didn’t have the seabass when we were told to send out orders 3 days prior arriving and was offered no token as a good gesture , 3 people had to have Hake instead . Final thing was the amount of flies we had around us when eating as it’s summer , constantly had to keep ushering them away ! Everything else was bang On , I would return , but only In the winter haha

Had a great lunch here 2 course amazing value and super quality The staff were lovely and we shall be back Highly recommended

I booked cowshed on my husband’s birthday . I had really bad experience. we was sitting near the back door. It’s fish pond out there with full of very dirty green water. As we were eating our food flies was keep sitting in our food plate we couldn’t eat and we just moving the flies away with insead eating our food. My 6 year old daughter spill gravy on her dress as she got angry and scared from these flies. I understand the weather was hot but they shouldn’t have open tge big back door where was dirty green water pool. So much flustered and had to move the table.. still didn’t helped. When i spoke to manager he said then can’t do nothing about it. They didn’t have any air conditioning there at all . Very bad experience…

Amazing food and service! Well worth the visit!

Great place. Food fab ... staff great . Came for fathers day .

had a fabulous lunch here the food was excellent very well cooked and looked beautiful and three courses for £26 was superb value. discovered by accident but will definitely be going back for more!

First time visiting this place and would look forward to going back. We went for Sunday lunch. Everyone’s food looked delicious. I had the Sea bass fillets. The service felt a little slow but everyone had a nice time.

Food very good enjoyed the Hake very nice. Couldn't say much about the atmosphere as we were very early at lunch time, but it has all the making of a good dinning experience on a busy evening. Staff very welcoming and attentive and knowledgeable about the food. Our first time since the move from Pattingham hope they do well as not many fine dinning places on wolverhampton area

Super food excellent staff brilliant atmosphere.

Appearance of food and place amazing. Me and my family didn’t enjoy the beef so much however lamb was cooked perfectly.

Food was excellent as always, service however was extremely slow. We waited 45 minutes to order. Communication to inform us of the delay would have been nice. The place was full and I surmised that the transition from the old premises to here has not been fully tested.

Lovely food with great service. Highly recommend

Went with friends for a meal and we all enjoyed it so much we will be going again fantastic

Brilliant service, we have a family with lots of dietary requirements and they were very accommodating. The food was excellent

Been a while since me and my wife could have a nice meal together. Went for a Saturday lunch and I was BLOWN AWAY by the food. We have spent much more on meals in the past and around £24-£25 for a set 3 course meal really isn't bad at all. I expected a certain level of quality from it and it didn't disappoint. The chicken with smoky bacon sauce I have craved ever since.. salivating now thinking about it actually. The service and setting were wonderful too. It's not particularly close for us but a return will definitely be on the cards that's for sure.

Well what a transformation. We visited this place a few years ago, but has been improved greatly by the new owners. One of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. The staff were friendly, the service was good and the food delicious. The cost was also reasonable. Well worth a visit.

Had a lovely lunch out today to celebrate our son's birthday. Staff were lovely and food was scrumptious. Price was very reasonable. Well done and thank you so much. Would recommend to anyone. Will be back again.

My family and I love eating here. The staff are very friendly and the food is always absolutely delicious. The black forest brownie is exceptional :)

Wonderful food! A little expensive but well worth the money. Excellent service and good atmosphere.

Lovely food, good service. Will go again.

Visited mid week, fancied a steak and the cowshed didn’t disappoint. Tried to get a table at Miller and Carter but they were full, however very happy to have traveled to the cowshed. Pate to start which was smooth and tasty, followed by a sirloin with chunky chips and peppercorn sauce, very good quality meat, I did request medium but it did come well done, but none the less the quality of the steak was amazing. Cheese to finish hit the sweet spot. Would recommend and revisit nice time in Wolverhampton. Friendly and prompt service from all the team.

Absolutely mouth watering food and so reasonably priced. We went to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and the relaxed atmosphere, beautiful views and stunning food set us up for a beautiful experience. Plan to return soon!

It was our first time at the Cowshed in the new location. I'm happy to say that all the great things about the original Cowshed have travelled well....and some. Great place, great food and great people. What's not to like. :)

Had a wonderful meal at The Cowshed today celebrating my Mum's 97th Birthday.This was our first visit and all the staff were so professional and friendly, making Mum's day a memorable occasion.The food was beautifully presented and the quality of all three courses was superb.We look forward to returning again soon.

We had 3 courses, each were presented beautifully and tasted delicious. Service was excellent, staff were very helpful and friendly. It was our first visit, we will definitely be retuning

Really lovely Sunday lunch at this gastro pub just outside of Wolverhampton. The decoration is sparse but modern. But the food takes centre stage, really good pub Sunday lunch with tasty beef, and a range of solid starters and desserts. One of the better places for Sunday lunch near Wolverhampton.

Lovely atmosphere. The portions were very generous and very tasty. Fantastic value for money. Would definitely recommend, in fact trying to book a return visit with another group of friends.

Wonderful place to eat! The food was incredible and service was excellent. We ate at a lunch time, so it was quieter than I assume it would be in the evening, but the atmosphere was lovely. We sat near a lovely big fireplace. I do wish it opened slightly earlier in the evening as we'd be able to use it for an evening meal more easily than we are currently, but that's down to our personal situation.

Lovely pub for drinks or a meal

Food was delicious staff were friendly and the new restaurant looks incredible. Definitely worth the drive out.

Absolutely Wonderful meal. The setting was perfect. Quality of food was exceptional, with excellent service by the staff.

This is a great restaurant. We do Sunday lunch here and it's first class. The food and the service is excellent and you always get a warm welcome. Like any good restaurant you need to book in advance.

Excellent food piping hot.Value for the money

Lovely lunch ,great food, great staff and service.Will definitely be back.

Great selection of food, good service & very friendly staff
