eagle and serpent pub in Shropshire

On a mystery beer tour 17 of us they didn't know we were coming had a lovely warm reception fires lit burning away nice and cosy busy with dinners and drinkers but made us very welcome in deed, as the drive the landlord offered me a drink of which I had a coffee and on a cold day l have to say it was well received and nice and hot. Many thanks for your kind hospitality

Here in the area on holiday for the week, ( Furnace Mill Fishery) today was our 4th visit for an evening meal. After the first visit we decided not to even try anywhere else. If you like your dinner on a plate and not a wooden board, or a handful of chips in a little metal cage, then this is the place for you. Good quality, tasty food at a sensible price and a sensible size serving to, With a nice range to choose from but not 100’s of dishes as not to overwhelm the kitchen, everything comes out spot on. The staff are lovely and friendly with a wonderful range of drinks, can recommend the Robinsons cider. Log fire was the icing on the cake tonight after the wet cold day fishing.

Food is always good as are the staff problem i have found last 2 times going there is some customers swearing really badly not good when you have older people and younger with you and not something most ladies want to here

Booked a Sunday lunch for a few friends for our 50th wedding anniversary the meal was excellent, choice of three meats and plenty of vegetables. Good choice of puddings and a good size. The staff were excellent and we would like to say a BIG thank you to Tom who was really helpful to our Daughter and her family in Canada by helping them give us a wonderful surprise. THANK YOU ALL Eagle and Serpent.

We booked Sunday lunch here,as it was recommended by our friends who ate here previously. It was fully booked,and our table was reserved,on arriveing we parked on a spacious car park,and ordered drinks at the bar,the two ,Bar men were very polite and friendly,one showed us to our table,a young lady took our food order,a choice of three meats,with seasonal vegetables,and all the trimmings,plenty of meat,veg in seperate dishes,loads of it, OWE the beef melted in your mouth,it was so tasty,and enough vegs to have 2 courses. Yes we did have puddings,large dishes,we were full. Well we all said it was the best Sunday lunch we have had,good ,tasty food at a very reasonable price,in an airy ,room. We will be back,well worth the journey here from Stourbridge. Thank you to ALL the pleasent staff.

Excellent service, good quality food. Lovely country pub. The waitress Fay goes above and beyond for the best experience 😊

Nothing was too much trouble. food was good and place has atmosphere. The chips in particular were amazing!

Probably the best Sunday roast in Worcestershire! We've eaten here several times before and, whilst staying in nearby Highley, couldn't resist another meal there. Can thoroughly recommend roast beef, absolutely delicious and vegetables cooked exactly as they should have been. Top marks to their chef.

Our favourite place to eat, lovely home cooked food. Great choice on menu, can recommend all. Beers also perfect 🍺 Great friendly pub

Stopped for lunch, very welcoming and friendly barman. The Ham, Egg and chips was very good value - a large thick slice of very good quality ham. The jacket potato with prawns was fine, though garnish was just a basic salad. Toilets very clean.

Booked a table for an early evening meal on a Thursday - wise move (will explain later). Food excellent (maybe some portions were a little too large!) and service very good. Have eaten there before - but 5 of my party (including 2 from Canada) hadn't. Very pleasant and helpful serving staff. Will be staying in Billingsley later in the year - will definitely return for another meal! Glad that we booked our table for 5.30pm - as we were leaving (soon after 7.00pm) a large "club" of men arrived at the bar - and by large I mean some 30-40 people.

First time visit to the eagle and serpent and what a great experience. Food was excellent, its come out very hot. Our waitress was very pleasant. Would definately be returning.

We ate twice at this establishment while in the area. The menu was varied with loads of choice. The food served was very good, hot and plenty of it. Staff were helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

Fantastic service. From the bar to the food. Very quick and very very fresh Beef roast dinner. Excellently presented and piping hot! Be sure to book in as they are very busy! Great food and great service.

An absolute gem of a restaurant . The staff are so friendly especially Mandy who on discovering it was my 50th birthday played 80's music for me. We were on holiday close by and ended up eating here 4 times . The food was always hot with massive portions . Would highly recommend eating here and if we lived in the area this would be our local.

Our first trip whilst walking in the area. What a gem!! Beautiful from outside with stunning hanging baskets. We ate in the front bar with the locals as got our dogs with us… everyone just so friendly 😊 Barman & waiter in their Hawaiian shirts were fab. We all had the Sunday Roasts, beef & pork & was a perfect Sunday lunch. Delicious, well cooked & lots of it!! Even had a retro banana split on pudding menu which we had to try along with the honeycomb cheesecake . Very reasonably priced too. Thank you for a lovely time & will defo be back.

We visited on a Saturday evening. The pub dining area has had a fantastic refurb. Two of us had surf and turf, one cod and chips and a vegetable lasagne. All of the dishes were cooked to perfection. Well kept HPA and a good wine selection. We had a very nice Malbec. The welcome and service was also first class. We will certainly be returning soon.

Late last night we turned up at the pub with a flat tyre and went in the pub to ask for help. The reception we had was truly amazing, the owners and the locals could not do enough to help me, my partner and our baby. We can’t thank you enough. The food smelt and looked amazing just wished we lived closer to sample it

Have had Sunday lunch on numerous occasions with my partner and our daughter and visited again recently.We all chose the beef which was beautifully cooked and melted in the mouth served with a variety of vegetables.The service is excellent,very friendly staff.Will certainly visit again,reasonably priced.

Ate at this lovely country pub with a group of friends. The meat and veggies cooked to perfection , nicely presented and very hot. A good choice of sweets and very good service. Would recommend to all.

My family and I go for Sunday lunch regularly. Service is great, prices reasonable and food absolutely delicious. I can’t rate it enough.

Very friendly and helpful bar staff. Meal was large and well cooked. Good variety on menu and a specials board besides. Very enjoyable.

A nice little country pub with a large beer garden including a table tennis table. Four ales on tap including the ever popular HPA. A good choice of food, although we didn't eat.

Nice friendly pub with a good choice of pub food I had a lovely tender steak and my wife had place. Well worth a visit as some local pubs have some awful reviews, if you want a pub meal at a reasonable price you can’t go wrong. Service very good.

Called into this pub which is local to a holiday let we were staying in over the Christmas period. As outsiders to Kinlet we received a warm welcome and our child was also allowed into the pub. The bar/lounge was decorated wonderfully for the festive period and the ‘dancing Santa’ was a hit with the children - nice touch. Great beers on offer and well priced. Unfortunately we didn’t eat there however we saw the food other diners had ordered to consume and it looked very appetizing. The pub doesn’t look much from the outside but don’t let this put you off visiting and sampling what they have to offer. Children welcomeGreat beers on offerValue for money Friendly staffWill be back in the summer.

Excellent village pub with a massive following. The food and drink prices are from 2008. They serve a 24oz steak for around £17 and it is fantastic

Excellent service and home cooked food. The Sunday lunches and steaks are superb. Friendly staff and great beers. Dog and family friendly

Now I might be biased as this is my local but what can't be denied is their Sunday lunch is just like your mom made. Tender meat and vegtables cooked just right. Staff are friendly and welcoming. It's a must visit rural pub.Keep our rural pubs alive. Local beers and a good variety of guns.

A great place to socialise, with food being superb and prices affordable.

The owners of this pub are absolutely lovely and opened their doors to us at 10. 45am this morning when my child was busting for a wee!!! How many people do you know that would do that and welcome you in with a smile, no hesitation? Thank you so much! We will be back on our travels for food and drink!

This pub may look a bit dull from the outside but the food was excellent the staff friendly. The weather outside was cold an wet but we emerged in a far better humour.

Best Sunday lunch ever. Beef melts in your mouth and the gravy is fantastic! Lovely atmosphere, advisable to book.

If your looking for somewhere nice and comfortable then this is your place, friendly staff and good value for money food. No frills just delivers exactly what you want.. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Enjoyed a delightful meal here on Friday night. Both of us had the lamb shank; it was cooked to order and to perfection. It was served with freshly cooked vegetables and a choice of potatoes. There was plenty on the plate to satisfy even the heartiest of appetites. The staff were courteous, making us feel very welcome. We would thoroughly recommend the meals and will be back!

We had Mum’s wake there The whole event went smoothly The bufet and bar were well organised and the staff discreet and friendly Based on our experience we would have no hesitation in recommending this venue for a similar gathering

Very nice and cosy pub with friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The food was extremely delicious. Locals and stuff were fantastic. Definitely worth a visit 🤗

As previous reviews the food was the usual pub grub not brilliant but ok, asked for another pint and was met with a very rude member of staff who said ‘ the bar is there’ and pointed to the hatch where beer is served from, the shocking thing was this was the land lady!!

We have eaten at the Eagle on numerous occasions and it never disappoints.

We had dinner here while staying in the area as it was recommended in the accommodations guide and we weren't disappointed.

An extremely friendly country pub.the food is first class with typical farmers large portions.all in all a most enjoyable experience.

We came along for our nieces birthday meal. I had heard that the food was good prior to the visit....

Cenamos aquí porque no pudimos llegar a nuestro lugar habitual miércoles almuerzo debido al cierre de la carretera. No nos decepcionó. Bienvenida muy amable y una buena selección de platos de la carta junto con una excelente selección de cervezas. Las órdenes tomadas en el bar y llegamos sin demora indebida. Todas las comidas bien presentado y porciones de buen tamaño. En resumen, una visita más agradable. Sin duda volveremos.

Tuvimos el almuerzo de domingo aquí con amigos, no me puedo quejar de la comida, en particular la carne asada era 'liberar en la boca 'calidad. El servicio era amable, bien cuidado y a un precio razonable. Volveremos pronto.

This looks a tired pub in need of a bit of TLC, however the food was very good the beer was excellent warm welcome and friendly locals good value for money. well worth a visit if you are passing through. Oh it was very pleasing that by the time i arrived the kitchen had just closed but they still made my meal!!! TOP MARKS GUYS.

Excellent plates of Surf and Turf, Warm welcome. Stopped over in car park in our campervan.Good beer too.

As it says this is a real find, lovely beer well served, locals who are welcoming and real characters, excellent pork pies too. The lady behind the bar was so helpful and filled our bike water bottles. A real find - visit it!

Had not been there for a couple of years and really don't know why we stopped going the food is excellent and plentiful and the staff are always friendly. The prices are good too. Advisable to book to avoid disappointment.

My wife and I each had a steak here on Friday . She had a 12 oz sirloin and I had a 16 oz rump . Both cooked as we ordered and we're both very tasty . Nice bowl of chips and a bit of salad . Can't go wrong really for the money !

This is a lovely family run pub with excellent food. The staff are friendly and will put themselves out. The locals are a lively sort.

We have recently moved into the area and visited the Eagle and Serpent following a recommendation. We were not disappointed! The staff made us feel most welcome and the general atmosphere was lovely. The food was amazing. We had ribs and lamb shank. Both tasted exquisite, were cooked to perfection and the portion sizes were substantial. The price was very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the food. We will certainly be visiting regularly and are excited to have moved to an area with such an inviting 'local'. If it's excellent food and a warm welcome you're after then The Eagle and Serpent is the place to visit!!

Like many British pubs, everything is past its best, yet its doing its best! A little past the main holiday season but obviously has a faithful and regular clientele munching away at large portions of the usual pub grub...nothing to surprise about the food, staff as usual, very young and inexperienced, except for the most pleasant manager possible...cant remember much about the food, nothing special or worth reporting about. Have been there, and probably not again. This is a holiday trade pub and probably good value for that group and faithful regulars. Don't get excited..but pop in and see yourself! The prices are reasonable enough to give it a go!

This is a pub/restaurant in a rural area. The meals are freshly cooked and delicious. The staff and regulars are friendly, it is well worth a visit. Local to bewdley, highley, cleobury Mortimer and Bridgnorth. We have been as a family several times, and have never been disappointed

Called in after a long drive, the outside is a little run down, and the restaurant area is very dated and in need of a good spruce up. The staff were very friendly, and the menu isn't bad, with a fair choice of dining options and reasonably priced. The food was good and portion sizes large.

We are regular users and they never fail to deliver excellent food, great ales, lovely staff. They are always obliging, I can strongly recommend Sunday lunches but you will probably need to book as they get busy.

had sunday lunch beef melted in your mouth good choice of vegetables served separately lovely baby potatoes in their own dish good choice of deserts value for money looked at their everyday menu good choice and prices will definitely be going back

Dined here for lunch with a group. We all had various items from the menu and the general opinion was that all meals were very good. Large portions and all served hot. I had the gammon steak, which was huge, served with egg, pineapple, chips and salad, all for £10.50. Decor and tables in the conservatory are a bit shabby and in need of updating, but other than that it was a nice dining experience and I would definitely return.

We had lunch here as part of a walking group and enjoyed a good meal. The staff were very friendly and considerate by serving all the food to our group at once even though we staggered the ordering. Some of the group had hot meals which they really enjoyed whilst we had very tasty and attractively prepared sandwiches with a portion of home-made chips.

If your after your typical pub grub then come here. Pretty plain menu. Staff are friendly though and you do get a good amount of food.

Great pub grub. Always feel well fed when we have been to this pub. Certainly good value for money. Friendly staff and nice location. If you are feeling hungry, its a great value place!!

the food is tasty, well cooked , and competitively priced, and the service is very good as well, i would recommend the eagle and serpent

used to love dining here and never had any problems until our last visit when the food was of very poor quality not its usual high standards most of the steaks were not cooked to liking and one of our party had fish which was so overcooked the batter was black/crunchy and the fish inside very dry when we tried to make a complaint the landlady was having none of it and tried making excuses up for the poor quality all our meals were left bar one who like their steak well done!!! we only managed to get a refund for the fish!!!the whole bill usually comes in at around £85 with drinks so to get £10 refund was a bit insulting ...we were not really that bothered about having a free round of drinks (that was offered) we just wanted to inform them that the food was not of its usual high standard but as i said landlady was quite rude and defensive ...needless to say we won't be back which is a shame as we used to love the place and we would be wondering what they did to our food should we return!!!

on a recent visit to the eagle and serpent, normaly two couples spendind in the regane of about £80 about six times a year, went to celabrate a birthday. we ordered our usual meals 2 large steaks,one medium steak and fish and chips. when the fiood came the batter on the fish was very dark almost black the onion rings and mushrooms were much the same and the steaks swimming in grease,when we asked to see the manager/chef she didnt offer any apology she didnt care wasnt bothered. we didnt want money off the bill or a free meal we just wanted to know why the food wasnt up to its norrmally high standerd,neadless to say we will not be going there again very disapointed.

Visited this pub a number of times at various times of the day and evening both in the week and weekends, always found it to be friendly and comfortable, well priced proper pub food and plenty of it, a great place to drop in for a no nonsense dinner & pint, child friendly

My partner had the 16 oz steak & I had the gammon, they were really nice & huge meals! Great price too. Very friendly service. Would definitely recommend.

Brilliant, Good value, Excellent food always, Good Beer , what more could you want , Quality of food is always consistent .

We were at the Eagle and Serpent celebrating a friends birthday and the friendly service and excellent food made it a great evening. The menu is varied and the food freshly prepared, good quality and lots of it. I can never manage a sweet course and usually end up taking a doggie bag home.The staff are extremely attentive without being in your face all the time and seem to sense when someone requires another drink or condiments etc.Non of your nouvelle cuisine here, just good old fashioned 'grub' and tasty with it.

Great pubGreat foodGreat beerFriendly staff been going for years now and it's always consistently very good and all home cooked

We visited the Eagle and Serpent for a family meal. We'd never been there before and certainly weren't disappointed. As a vegetarian I was pleased to see plenty of choice on the menu. I opted for the vegetarian lasagne which came with lots of chips and a fresh salad. The food was piping hot which makes a refreshing change from so many places where it's lukewarm at best. My other half had a 16oz steak which filled more than half the plate!! We will definitely visit this place again soon!

The local for when we stay in Kinlet. Price of Beer is reasonable. Staff friendly. Had steak and is cooked to a good medium rare standard. Big portions which my husband thoroughly enjoyed. For me I would have liked smaller portion hate wasting good food. All was very tasty with no room for deserts. Price seems a lot but you get good value when you see how much you get. The meat is locally sourced not your typical pub chain meat.See you next time we visit :)

this was our first visit on our own (no Family help) since my husbands illness so was filled with a little trepidation but I needn't have worried as soon as we arrived we were spotted in the car park and the owners were there to help to push the wheelchair into the pub the meal is always good which was shown in the fact that all the tables were booked after a brilliant Sunday lunch the owners then turned round and pushed the wheelchair back to the car which was so helpful would we go again you bet wonderful meal and all the help you needed well done the eagle and serpant

We have been here lots of times and have always had a good meal steaks have always been tender you don't go back to a place if its not good am going again this week.

Super local pub family run. Offers really good well presented food and a choice of real ales. Children welcome and beer garden available. We are regular visitors for both meals and a social drink.

A friendly pub where all are made welcome. Has a safe beer garden at back of pub. Great food and superb pint to be had all year round.

I would go as far to say I won't eat else were the food is top shop and out this world staff are top and so are the locals is a real drinking pub but also the perfect place to wine and dine its the place to be

Always an excellent breakfast well cooked and nicely presented.....lashings of tea and coffee on arrival....the best way to start a shooting day!

Had a Christmas lunch with friends and I know you don't eat the Christmas crackers but putting on the tables the cheapest, nastiest,crappy little Chistmas crackers with plastic blobs inside beats me!

Came here to fuel before a long walk. I expected an average lunch, but the meat was so tender it just melted in the mouth. We will definitely come here again. The pub décor is basic but that's ok as long as the foods good, no problem. It seems to be a pub where the locals go so that's always a good sign. The only quibble was that the ladies had no light in it so please can somebody put a bulb in before we visit again! Thank you!

Visited this pub for a Sunday lunch in a large group, the service was efficient and didn't have to wait too long between main and dessert. Good sized portions with plenty of veg, took children here and didn't feel unwelcome as in some other places.Desserts are delicious and a good varied choice.

Called in for lunch whilst walking in the area.Friendly staff. Pub decor average.Fair selection of beers and bar menu. Food was well cooked. Nothing special.Seems popular.

I had the surf and turf, the steak was cooked perfectly for me. Lovely pub friendly staff in a wondedrful setting, and excellent value.

We heard years ago that this beautiful pub was going to close down due to lack of custom - what a difference a change of management has made!!! Whenever we have visited it appears to be thriving, professionally run, friendly attentive staff and good pub food. We will definitely be back again ..... and again!
