Dorrington's Horseshoes in Shropshire

Had a really lovely evening at the Horseshoes Inn Dorrington with my Husband, Daughter and Son In Law for my Daughter's birthday. Our meals were all excellent and the service was spot on! We would not hesitate in recommending The Horseshoes and we will definitely be returning soon

This is our 5th visit staying local. Peter and Tanya are superb hosts and their staff are impeccable. The food is local fresh and superb and the chef and kitchen staff are a credit to the location. 5* service from the moment you enter to until you leave. The locals are also so friendly and welcoming. A hard working family genuinely running an amazing business very well. Your excellent reviews are well deserved 👏 One of the best places we have visited in all Shropshire and will return again

great saturday lunch - iberian pork tasty - lovely surroundings dog friendly area - nice staff

Always met by smiling, friendly staff eager to help and take you to your table. Lots of choices across all courses and so so nice. Lovely clean dining area, nice and open and inviting. Good choices of wines and beers Did I mention the friendly staff... Exceptional customer service

A group of 12 of us had dinner in the Horseshoes over the weekend. The food was fantastic; the staff were delightful and the atmosphere wonderful. (The fish pie was especially awesome; compliments chef!). Great value also. Would thoroughly recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic meal here and brilliant service!

Just stumbled across this beautiful place. Ambiance lovely Service good and quick Staff friendly and professional Food brilliant If I’m the area again will definitely drop in Well done team

Fabulous Saturday lunch. We booked a table and told them we would bring a dog - they keep a section of the pub for people with dogs so it was fine. The food was excellent - Iberian Pork for me Chowder for my wife. And i had a cheeky Bread and Butter pudding for dessert- that was amazing! Decent Butty Bach beer and nice service as well! i recommend it!

Fabulous place. Such a warm welcome. Very comfortable and warm restaurant. The food was delicious and the waiter/waitresses were all so polite and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Had a lovely Sunday roast yesterday. We stayed just down the road and walked up in the pouring rain but was so worth it! From booking (and speaking to a lovely lady with a foreign accent- she was also our waitress) to the meal our expectations were exceeded. Excellent food,wine and service. Beautiful pub and dog friendly too! Just perfect, thankyou. Would definitely return

Last minute decision to see if Horseshoes could fit us in at 3pm on a Sunday, thank goodness they could. Having been walking in the Clun area for a couple of hours we really fancied a roast. We arrived and the car park was busy, which is always a good sign. Husband had beef I had turkey. Very nicely cooked and not too stingy with the veg. Home made puds (chefs cheesecake was amazing), couple of pints and soft drink came to £50, we couldn’t believe the excellent value for money. Service was excellent.

Really nicely laid out pub, if I would change one thing it would be to bring in rich color, to add warmth to decor.

I often enjoy this restaurant, the food is always superb, the staff excellent, and Tania and Peta are always great hosts. But this evening has been one of those occasions that deserves a special mention. Fresh Halibut, yummy. Absolutely delicious. If you haven’t tried this then get there ASAP before it all goes. Thank you all at the Horseshoes

It is actually a restraunt A LOVELY ONE

Delicious meal and we could take the dogs

We were disappointed in this pub. It only opens 12pm-6pm on a Sunday. It gives you a warning to not enter if you have dirty shoes and yet the place was not particularly clean and the landlord was in shorts, wellingtons and a vest. Not very welcoming, and the foriegn accent was hard to understand. There are plenty of better pubs within 5 miles of this one. I would advise to avoid it at all costs.

Whilst holidaying nearby we treated ourselves to a meal out at Horseshoes. It was the first restaurant we'd visited with our dog. On arrival Tanya warmly welcomed us and showed us to a cosy dining area where dogs are allowed. After we'd settled, Tanya took our order and recommended a wine to accompany our meal. The menu was varied and filled with delicious choices. The food was exceptional. We were made to feel welcome by both staff and fellow (local) diners. Thoroughly recommended for food and atmosphere. Thank you.

A surprising little gem of a restaurant with a nice atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent service. What’s not to like?

This place has the WOW factor in every way. Beautiful restaurant, and customer service is second to none. Now for the reason we went, to eat. I’ve never described something as bland as lettuce as delicious, but it honestly was. Of course the rest of our meals were equally as tasty. Starters and mains were exquisite. We were too full for desert but heard people on another table saying that theirs were delicious. My partner and I could not have found fault if we wanted to. We would highly recommend to anyone who appreciates good food.

Fantastic food. A warm welcome. What's not to love? Beef brisket is a winner. As is the Iberian pork. A huge plate of delicious food at great prices. We visit everytime we go to Shropshire. Fantastic!

A very warm welcome. Fabulous pub with stupendous food! We visit every time we go to Shropshire. Fantastic!

Can’t recall the last time I had better quality food eating out!! My worry now is when will I taste food as good as this out again. The staff are lovely, so welcoming. Hats off to the staff for being able to produce food as good as this. I had salmon and my wife had beef stronganoff!! A gem of a place !!!!!!

Well, what can I say! We as a family went here to celebrate my 60th Birthday, Tanya and the team were Wonderfull and soooo looked after us. Food was amazing, probably the best steak I have ever had and the brisket of beef was to die for. Thank you to the team, for you very professional service, we will return soon. Dave Hughes.

What a great welcome from Tania and Ava. Beautiful venue - destination restaurant rather than a pub but with the fall back of a fabulous beer garden it’s a great go to for a lunchtime drink. Spotlessly clean loos. Heated under cover area in the garden too for this ‘coolish’ summer. Wish we lived closer but only found this gem as staying at a nearby campsite. Highly recommend you visit if anywhere in the area. Clear to see that the tight knit team know their regular customers but also welcome strangers with the same warmth.

A lovely pub/restaurant, nice decor and fabulous food. Service was very good, staff were polite and helpful.

We returned with our friends and Tanya was an absolutely amazing host. We ordered frito mixto and duck sharing plates followed by a seafood chowder, Caesar salad, chicken milanese and chicken New Yorker. Everything was perfect but the best surprise was the wine, we started with a nice Provence rose super chilled which went down very well. Tanya then mentioned she had some orange wine and our faces lit up with a yes please. I wanted a red wine and was recommended a Bulgarian red wine a Melnik 55 which was truly superb! We certainly will be coming back for more VIP service. Thank you once again for looking after us!

Highly recommend this venue for food and ambience. We were very well looked after by management for around 30 guests. Superb hot and cold buffet and dinning room was laid out lovely. Once again thank you the horse shoes for looking after my family on this sad occasion x

Not the first time we have eaten there, so when they could fit us in on a Saturday night we were delighted. The food and service are outstanding, and the prices sensible 👌

What a discovery! Excellent food and service, the lady waitress is absolutely brilliant! Highly recommended!

Superb as ever, great menu, covering simple entry level options, plus special options if you want to push the boat out. Love the vibe of the re styled dining room. Great for a pint, light or treat meal. Coze corners for couples and larger tables for bigger groups

Came here for lunch as remembered it from yrs ago when we stayed local. I was craving a roast beef dinner and to my delight it was on the menu. I was a little dubious as other comments said the beef was chewy well today it was certainly not came I thoughly enjoyed it, came with mash and a sort of roast potatoes that were very tasty and seasoned lovely, cauli, broccoli, carrots and peas a beautiful homemade yorkshire (not burnt as you often find in some places). My only issue was please put more gravy on the plate yes I could of asked for more and paid, but starving and feeling under the weather I couldn't be bothered. I find this is typical at most restaurants and I don't know why they put so little on the plates. My husband had fish and chips that looked and tasted great, his only issue was mint in the mushy peas so couldn't eat them but that's personal preference I suppose. Staff were pleasant. We both look forward to coming back and for me can't wait to try out something from the extensive menu.

Food top notch service good made welcome by staff who were polite.

Very tasty food, beautifully presented by attentive but discreet staff. Very busy but well managed. We'll go again.

The service at this place is second to none. The staff are lovely and attentive and the food was really nice (and well priced for the quality you get). I'd 100% recommend a visit whether you fancy a quick pint or great food!

Amazing food and service in a beautiful place. Can't wait to return

Excellent food, lots of Gluten free choices

Attended as a group of about 20 for a birthday party. The hosts were very good and made sure everybody had a glass of bubbly on arrival. The food was excellent (I can recommend the game pie) and plenty of it. The whole atmosphere was very relaxed and the food was top quality. Great job.

Lovely pub and friendly staff. Great to relax after a good days walking.

Fantastic meal as always. Be careful as you pull out of the car park.

We had been staying locally and had been checking various restaurants in the area to dine at courtesy of Google maps and were blown away by the ambience at this restaurant. We hadn’t booked, but were made most welcome by the barmaid, who showed us to a table for 4. As you enter at the rear you are met with the phrase “gourmet restaurant” and I can wholeheartedly confirm this venue delivers a 5 star performance. All 4 of us were blown away by the quality of the food, the excellent service and the portion size. I opted for pork 4 ways with mash, and can thoroughly recommend this dish. My wife had the fish pie and she enthused it was the best ever. Pity we don’t stay nearer as it deserves further visit.

Camping locally for a couple of nights- came here for dinner. It didn’t disappoint! Food was absolutely amazing. We had the duck and pork fillet, utterly delicious. Dog friendly, beautiful decor and great atmosphere: topped off with complimentary Limoncellos! What’s not to like. A must visit…

Lovely spot. A 15 minute walk from the caravan site we were staying at. Dog friendly & the barmaid was super friendly & helpful too

Dog friendly - incredible sauce on tap (HPA). If you want to go home with a full belly this is the place to go to. Lots of choice to order from and the food was amazing. Really warming and attentive staff. We will be back soon!

Lovely food and wine. Great friendly service. Comfortable atmosphere Easy free car parking. Average prices. Fab night

Fabulous place great food friendly staff. Very welcoming. Will definitely return. The salads are amazing! Desserts to die for.

Absolutely outstanding venue - tastefully decorated spotlessly clean The food was outstanding quality and excellent value for money £16,50 for roast beef -you don’t get that many places of this quality and the two plates were loaded my husband couldn’t even finish his burger meal there was so much on the plate - service spot on from really nice staff Ignore no dogs sign outside we asked and could take ours in with us - they are very dog friendly bringing him water Highly recommended venue

Very friendly staff. Relaxing cosy environment. Excellent food and service.

Excellent food and service, highly recommend

Reviewed before but not for a while and this place deserves more excellent reviews to outweigh the Curious and the Kevin reviews. I've been here a few times since my last review and friends and family in the area have also visited with glowing sentiments. Always a friendly welcome and always attentive but not fussy service. There's a wide choice on the menu and I've always been more than happy with my own choice. Must mention the Butty Bach, definitely in my top five ales. Lovely ambience, I shall hopefully return soon.

My wife and I had a meal here, with a few drinks, while staying near by over Easter. Food was delicious and the staff very attentive. Also, very dog friendly. Would definitely recommend 😎👍

Eaten there twice this week each time food was excellent and very nice staff

Although the pub was busy, the service for our party was still excellent. Food choices were varied and all came out of the kitchen on time, well presented & tasted good. Exceptional attention to detail by serving staff. Definitely return for another meal & visit. Thank you to the team. Outstanding.

Spacious dining, with non-intrusive service. I enjoyed the brisket very much. Altogether a very good experience.

Had a family celebration for our daughters birthday. Couldn’t have done more for us. Thoughtfully put on table to the side so more of a private get together. Staff attentive and welcoming. Meals were delicious. Gluten free accommodated for. Will definitely be going back.

Unimaginative, disappointing and expensive food coupled with poor service left us disappointed and rather upset. For the cost of this meal we could have enjoyed some proper fine dining, prepared by a chef, not a pub cook, and received attentive service. Every course I could have prepared better at home. My goats cheese was simply a chunk of cheese placed on top of a few leaves - where’s the chef’s creativity it that? My wife and I were massively disappointed in our main course, neither of which had anything more that could have been found in many pubs for half the price. Just to add one final disappointment, the wine was poor and, once again, expensive.

Parking at the back. Super warm welcome, good and beer fantastic. Really worth popping in and having a super home cooked meal.

Walked to this pub for lunch, but had to sit outside as we had a dog. Just had a coffee and went elsewhere.

Called here unexpectedly as we were staying nearby. What a beautiful place. Staff were very welcoming and the food was amazing. Can highly recommend the Crispy Thai beef salad and the Pork Fourways. Delicious.

Great food friendly staff Classy comfy pub.

What a hidden gem, stopped here for lunch and the service was fantastic, food was excellent and what a superb Pub.

Went today for the first time and we loved it. The food was delicious, the staff were so friendly and helpful and the decor is lovely- very modern with a cozy feel. Will definitely go again.

Most obliging,and helped with whatever we needed. Buffet was fantastic and plenty of it. Staff ver helpful. Would recomend. Caroline

Very friendly team with good food and atmosphere.

An amazing gem in the small village of Dorrington. Staff are so attentive and the food tastes amazing.

Stylish, plenty of parking round the back. Interesting menu, a little pricey but well worth it. Recommended.

We came here for my husbands 30th and wow. My husband has recently been diagnosed with celiac disease and cannot eat anything with gluten in. This menu is amazing for people like him. They cater all dishes around his needs, anything he chose he could have it as gluten free even his favourite deserts. There was 12 of us and there wasn’t a huge wait and the food was amazing. Beautiful pub, beautiful food and amazing staff. Thanks all for making my husband 30th enjoyable.

Absolutely SUPERB! We are there on Friday night. I had the best lamb shank I’ve ever eaten! Sandra had salmon. Generous portions of exceptionally delicious food. I can’t wait to go back. Outstandingly good food in an area known for good food. *****

Brilliant place well worth a visit great pint too lovely staff

What can I say - if I could give 10 stars then I would I can’t fault anything about the food or the service, both were equally impressive. The most important thing is the staff knew what they were talking about and no problem is too much for them . Keep up the good effort

Eleven ladies of a certain age turned up for lunch and the fabulous staff were unfased and welcomed us with open arms and excellent customer care and service. 🤗

i love this place food to tasty staff very friendly

Bardzo miła atmosfera polecam 👌💪

What a fantastic place to have a meal first class service staff where very pleasant extra helpful and the meal was excellent , would recommend the Horseshoes to everyone . 👌

This afternoon at the bar a belligerent, aggressive and bullish member of staff shouted at me "I don't give a f**k what you think". Why? Because I told him the bread pudding and the waffle were chewy and stodgy and not worth £7 each. I don't know and don't actually care who he was but I wonder who or what he thinks he is. Certainly not a good business man. If he's the manager then he should be ashamed of himself and if someone else is the manager then they should get rid of him - he's intimidating and a liability. But perhaps nobody else will give a f**k what I think! What a sad world it is sometimes.

Great food and great service could not fault it at all.

well what can i say What a beautiful country Pub! A Real Gem In the heart of shropshire! Staff Are Amazing ! Food Was So Tasty!… Love it Here ! Can’t Wait To Go Again! Thank You Too Tanya And The Team For Looking After me As Always

Seven of us had a fantastic meal again at the horseshoes every time we go good quality freshly cooked food. Never have we had a poor meal always a very high standard, friendly staff nothing is to much trouble, ambience is perfect nice pleasant atmosphere would highly recommend wide variety of food. Perfect outside sitting and dining area for those who prefer alfresco, and interior to a high standard with tables to accommodate all size of groups or for those who are having a couples night out.

It's been years since we last went and the place looks lovely, really nice food (had the lamb shank) really nice staff. Will definitely be going back.

Sunday lunch was exceptional. We were visiting the area and made a great choice. Will certainly revisit.

Had a fantastic meal tonight for our 33rd Wedding anniversary. Food & service was great. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere..this is our go to place from now on.

Stopped off at the horsehoes for a quick bite on our way home. we had- 1 x pint of larger 1/2 pint of larger 2 x bacon rolls with cheese (charge you more if its called brioche) 1 x small bowl of chips cost = £30.45 it did not dawn on me until i got home how expensive the snack had been. Never again.

Average pub, adequate food but nothing out of the ordinary. Can only assume that other places in the area are terrible for this to be 5 stars. 3 is realistic. Plain garden, patio with plastic furniture and an interior with generic decor. Bar selection is slim to middling.

Just stopped for a lunch. I was surprised how posh and elegant looking inside. The service was amazing, the food delicious and the cleanest restaurant so far in the Uk! Well done guys!

A wonderful gem. Rather non descript from the road ( as it is a listed property ) but with a lovely garden and terrace. The interior is warm and welcoming. One of the loveliest decorated pubs I have visited. Leather sofas. Light filled areas. Clean and friendly. Dog friendly too. We had brisket of beef and chicken milanese for a late lunch. Absolutely delicious. Great value. Super service. So glad we stopped by.

Superbly cooked roast beef and Iberian pork and a lovely fish outlet too. Excellent service and lovely premises. Would definitely recommend.

Stopped for light lunch, Mum had garlic mushrooms on bread with small salad and I had a fish cake topped with an egg with a sauce both enjoyed. Service was good and restaurant spacious and nicely adorned.

Unfortunately had to eat here a 2nd time due to a work meal out. First time was 5 years ago so was hoping things had improved. My first review on here had an untruthful and aggressive response from the manager/owner - will wait to see if a similar response is received. Very over priced for basic food served. Poor service.

Absolutely brilliant food, service

Amazing food,staff and surroundings.Superb menu,good choice and cooked to perfection.Friendly,efficient and warm.We had a birthday meal on a thursday lunchtime,restaurant was packed.Beautiful tasty food.

Warm welcome, Good food and drink, very nice Sunday roast.

Went for a bit of the alcohol with the family and twas fairly decent Nuff said

The ambiance was warm and welcoming . The menu was varied and the food was tasty. Overall a good experience. There wasn’t quite enough bread with the camembert and we were charged an extra )1.95 to have another two slices. The service was very good...

Excellent birthday meal, everything cooked perfectly and the service was as always, unbeatable, thank you Tanya :-)

Very nice comfortable surroundings and polite and helpful staff

Expensive food and drink. Disappointingly small portions for all meals and sides. Food was tasty, just not enough for the price.

Top class from the start, friendly welcome, even though very busy. Great staff, great food, great choice. Its over 200 miles away, yet I will drive back there next year just to enjoy the experience.

We are staying nearby and came upon the Dorrington Horseshoe by chance - We can all categorically say it was the best meal out that we have had on our holiday - if we could award it a Michelin star for superb service and really...

Very pleasant experience. Great food. Only fault was inexperience of a few staff but quickly rectified. Highly recommended.

Our second visit - extremely hospitable friendly staff - so helpful. Delicious Sunday roast - compliments to the chef. Would definitely recommend.

This is how it is done! Food amazing!! The crispy Thai beef salad was superb! Menu varied and inventive. Staff were so attentive and considerate, ensuring our orders were taken before other big groups. This is fast becoming a firm favourite for our family. We...
