Eley's Of Ironbridge Pie Shop in Telford and Wrekin

Good coffee and good service. Bacon and Sausage sandwich was very reasonable for the price

Found just over the road from the iron bridge. We stopped in here for coffee and the staff were lovely and helpful. Sadly the menu had no appealing veggie dishes this we moved elsewhere to eat. All in all a nice place to pop by.

We came in for drinks and the staff were very friendly. But absolutely disgusted at the ‘manager’ a man, who shouted at the staff while we’re were sitting there, i have NEVER felt so uncomfortable, his behaviour was horrible and we will not be going again!!! You should be ashamed of yourself. I will make a FORMAL complaint about today’s ‘incident’.

Great breakfast, set me up for the day 😋

Visted this morning, wow, one of the best eggs benedicts to Grace my mouth haha mocha was also a brilliant hot drink

Great coffee and an amazing view of the Ironbridge

Bit disappointed. Ordered apple and blackberry flapjack crumble. Received apple crumble. All the waiter could say was sorry.

Popped in for Breakfast after looking for somewhere online and wasn't disappointed. Everything was good, service, quality of food and the price.

Reserving judgement here, but lived 5 mins away for 16 years and only bought pork pies from here. Moved a couple of years ago, came back today, bought a pie and definitely did not taste the same. Tasted a bit lardy, less peppery taste... Hopefully a bad batch but please Eley's, tell me nothing has changed! (Ironbridge Pastie still amazing though!)

Lovely little tea room with such friendly service would highly recomend😊

We were served by "Ellie" and she was so attentive, courteous and smiley. What a credit to your team.

Great experience all round and the full breakfast deal was great

Abbie was our server today, she catered for my very fussy mother brilliantly. Food and service consistently excellent. Thank you

Easily the best port pie I’ve ever eaten. You’ll never enjoy a supermarket pie again without comparing it to this! Bought a bag of pork searching as well to share with my dog and they too were AMAZING. And a beautiful view of the bridge thrown in for free. A walkers paradise

Great service and fresh breakfast that filled us up until dinner . Great choice.

Lovely place in a great location with a view of the bridge. Very friendly welcome & service. The bridge builder's breakfast was excellent quality and value for money as was the scrambled eggs & smoked salmon. I definitely recommend giving Darby's a visit.

Only had coffee and tea cake but loved the view and impressed by the friendly staff and top notch service.

Billed as " World Famous", I'd frankly never heard of them before, but as I was in Ironbridge, how could I not try one ? The first "Surprise" was the price. At almost £5 for what was described as a medium sized pie, I think I might have described it as small. But the this is about flavour at the end of the day and for something billed as world famous, I was expecting something special. That was my second disappointment. The flavour, texture of the pastry and seasoning was OK but wasn't the stand out I was hoping for. ( By contrast, my benchmark pies are the one sold by The Pork Pie Shop in The Shambles, York and The Pie Shop, Fladbury, both of which for me are ust perfect, with exactly the right amount of white pepper seasoning ) So, an average sort of pie, perfectly palatable, but very expensive and no standout flavour which would make me go back for more.

Really lovely coffee house. The cream tea was delightful and the millionaire shortbread was so good

We had lunch here and sat out the front in the pavement area. A little noisy from passing traffic but lovely nevertheless. The food was tasty and arrived in good time. The staff were friendly and happy to discuss small changes to the menu for our vegetarian options. Would happily return in future.

Great food. Pleasant and helpful staff. Good prices. Highly recommend.

Lovely coffees but that’s where it ended. Arrived and sat at a dirty table full of plates etc which is fine but when it takes the staff 20 minutes to clear them then that’s not acceptable. Pouched eggs rock hard, poor quality ingredients used & toast was more like stale bread. Maybe if they did check backs once food was being eaten then they would care to know the issues. Lovely location.

Since moving to the area nearly two years ago, we have been regular visitors to Darby's. Absolutely love the food and the atmosphere. Service is second to none

Great cycling coffee stop, home made cake and fresh ground coffee

I came here with my mum this afternoon and it was lovely. I could not fault it at all. The scones were warm and delicious; the drinks were perfect, despite accidentally ordering two teas when I should have ordered one coffee. However, this was sorted without any issue despite it being my error. The staff member was very lovely. My mum and I really enjoyed it here and will definitely be back. Highly recommend coming here!

Popped in twice for a morning coffee during a dog walk. First day ok as not with dogs second day visited with dogs a very hot morning. I asked for a bowl of water for dogs as i was sitting outside but was told no! I had to walk to another shop get a bowl of water! Slightly disappointed as spent a fair bit of time spending money on coffee! Oh and the milkshakes we had afterwards were warm and tasteless! Not sure can recommend highly!!!! Sad as heard a lot of positive reviews re Darby’s! If you want to encourage walkers its not hard to put a bowl of water out! NB we bought our water initially but as we spent so long here we ran out hence us asking for a bit more

Nice spot near the Ironbridge, good coffee, very friendly service.

Looks like a lovely place to eat and staff are very friendly but £2.85 for a cup of tea that you basically have to make yourself is joke. Could understand if it was a fancy branded teabag but it wasn't. Very expensive

Came in for breakfast. Great service, good breakfast menu. Was advised before ordering if a delay on food as they'd had a rush, which we had no issues with. Just disappointed that thr menu said 'vegetarian options available' under the breakfast, so ordered a veggie breakfast. Instead of bacon and sausages, the replacement was 2 small potato fritter type things and an extra egg. Asked about any veggie sausages and "they don't do them."

We Scots like a scone cold. They warmed it up without asking and then advised warming was necessary!

As always, top berkki stop, great staff

Popped in for coffee and bite to eat while visiting Ironbridge. Staff are terrific and made us very welcome. Definitely recommend the soup and bread option. Plenty of other offerings so should be something to meet most tastes.

What a lovely tea room. I arrived late Sunday afternoon - not long before they were due to close The staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Amazing service and welcoming staff.

Stopped for a "quick" drink but the service was sooooo slow. Spent 20mins waiting for a tea and a coffee. Ok it was lunch time but there was only one guy behind the counter doing everything.

Wonderful pastry produced especially pork pies, coffee and a pie plus a great view from the pavement seating ,,pork crackling is fantastic

Lovely food 3 stars for service but I suspect this was due to how busy it was at the time. Staff were lovely. Loved the Old music.

Nice and fast service. The food was very tasty. The coffee was strong and creamy and gave me a kick for the whole day. Thanks.Highly recomended

Very nice and fast service. Good food and delicious coffee. I recommend.

My husband had cream tea and highly recommends the scones, light and fluffy. The toasted teacake was the best I have tasted in a very long time. Abbie was very helpful along with her colleague. Will visit again.

I was in Ironbridge and had seen the shop before so I decided to try one of the 'World Famous Pork Pies'. I was shocked at the prices, over £5 for a large pork pie that I didn't think was that large, but decided to buy one thinking the taste would make the outlay worth it. I couldn't have been more wrong, it was one of the worst pork pies I have ever tasted. For me the pastry was rock hard and far too thick on the base and round the side. The meat was too salty and spicy for my liking. I was left very disappointed and could not recommend the pork pie. On the positive side the lady serving in the shop was very pleasant and made you feel welcome.

Some staff very ignorant. Although food very good but the service is poor. Immigrants are not welcome there. That’s unpleasant. Shame.

Been waiting over 45 mins for food. Still nothing :(

Over expensive and pasty not that tasty,filling bit sloppy..pastry nice tho Bit bland to taste... Friendly staff tho.

Fabulous staff, very friendly, think it was Sam? Great food and ambiance, will be back. Extra points for saying my daughters baby was cute 🥰

A gem in Ironbridge. Darbys is a great café, with probably the best full cooked breakfast I’ve ever eaten. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We will return if we are ever in the area. Highly recommended.

Try the Bridge Builders Breakfast.

Perfect view of Ironbridge and the best Cappuccino I'd had all weekend, friendly professional staff and a nice layout inside.

Great to find a place that actually stays open past 4.00pm. A simple, unpretentious cafe, a bit lacking in atmosphere but with good views of the actual iron bridge if you can get a window seat. Cake was a touch dry but tasty, tea was good. And don't miss the toilet - some wonderful photos and humour!

Great place to eat with a view of the Iron Bridge. Lovely food and good gluten free options. Great coffee too!

Lovely breakfast. Friendly service.

Lovely place to sit and watch the world go by. Excellent food and friendly service.

Amazing staff, great food, fantastic views. If you are in the area I strongly advise you to visit Ironbridge itself is a beautiful spot with loads of parking. 👍

We popped in for some food. We were given menus & told to pick a table & that the waiter would come take our order. We chose our food & waited. The waiter took a little while to come but was pleasant. We chose cream tea each at £5.95 & has the menu stated that cream tea with Prosecco was £6.90, I thought why not. However, when paying our bill it came to over £18 we questioned the cost, only to be told that the £6.90 was extra not with. I would never have had the Prosecco if it had been worded correctly on the menu. The menu should say EXTRA not WITH as the £6.90 is extra to the £5.95. Very misleading & we won't be visiting again. Very disappointed

I went to Ironbridge and decided to stop for coffee. Parking is always an issue, but I was lucky enough to find a space outside the square. This is a really nice cafe with great food and coffee selection. The trainee served me and did an excellent job. They do excellent breakfast and delicious cake

A lovely little tea room opposite the historic Iron Bridge and gorge. Very quick service and the food was very good and they do all day breakfast. Limited parking however some car parks nearby The Square car park being by the nearest but gets full quick, the Iron bridge car park which is across the bridge but plenty of space and the museum car park about 5-10 minute walk.

Fantastic selection of food, hot chocolate amazing.

Regular visitors and brilliant again. Wonderful view of the bridge, food and drinks are super, and prices reasonable for its location. We'll recommended.

My husband called in for a pork pie to have in the evening, but then we noticed the cheese and onion pasties! He had his pie that evening, I had the pasty. We were going to Ironbridge the next day anyway, so we both bought pasties for the evening this time. As people who lived in Cornwall for many years, these were the best pasties from outside the county we have ever tasted! Well done Mr Eley!

We had a lovely lunch here. The service was friendly and food tasty. It was nice and warm on a cold day, with a nice atmosphere. A lovely view of the Ironbridge too!

Very nice, quick and friendly service

Although my pasty had a pleasant taste the filling was mainly potato with very little meat, and was overpriced. It is possible to buy pasties which are larger, have more meat in them and are cheaper, in a town not very far away!

I speak as I find and tell the truth... Bought a hot sausage roll - delicious. Medium pork pie - what a disappointment. Meat looked very dark in places (if you saw the meat in a shop, you wouldn't buy it) and the pastry was rock hard. No flavour whatsoever. Also the food is well over priced!!!!!! Shame but won't go again.

Brilliant place for a lovely breakfast ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Visited today for a coffee and a slice of carrot cake - both superb! Wonderful outdoor seating with a view of the Iron Bridge as well.

One of the best full English breakfasts I have had in years and I have had a few, good friendly service would definitely recommend

Delicious food, friendly staff, and the best view of the bridge

Cosy little cafe. Nicely decorated. Staff very friendly. Everywhere was exceptionally clean. Nice, strong coffee.

We purchased a normal pork pie, chilli pork pie and 2 sausage rolls. All were delicious and very filling. My partner wishes he had brought more chilli pork pies on our visit!

A most amazing breakfast in a fantastic location. Staff were friendly and we timed it right for a table! I’m sure we will be back. Thank you.

We only visit here for the pork pies, my husband is addicted! Only wish they had more vegetarian options . Definitely visit again

I travel the local area sampling coffee shops and cafe's. This looked a good choice so I paid a visit. A nice tidy cafe overlooking the Ironbridge. I was met by a young lady who didn't seem too enthusiastic to help. I ordered a sausage and bacon sandwich and a black coffee which according to the chalk board was good strong coffee. I went to pay but the business won't accept card payments below £10. Arn't there rules about that ? Luckily I had cash and received £1.35 change. I asked for sweetener in my coffee when I paid. I was then told to wait outside like a naughty school boy when there was room in the cafe. After a fair wait outside in the cold another lady bought my order. First impression looking at the sandwich in its wrapping, was how small it was compared to the competition nearby. Sausage and bacon were tasty but the bread was dimensionally tiny and thin. I didn't consider it a decent sized sandwich. Then my coffee that was not strong and had no sweetener or sugar present. Too late to go back . In summary, disappointing and expensive. This represents a true personal experience.

Visited this morning as a birthday treat. First class full English breakfast for hubby and perfectly cooked poached eggs on toast for me. Pot of tea very hot and good quality. Good value for money and very pleasant service. Will be back!

we visited ironbridge on the way from telford shopping.got there for dinner and noticed elleys looked lovly the food couldn't be more wrong .we went in orderd 2 pastys to take home and bag of scratchings . got home omg hardly any scratching s a nd my wife heated the pastys never again thick salty pastry a d like baby food inside with the odd carrot and a bland taste once bitten i think mind the pun save ya money folks

delicious cooked brekkie with amazing view of the ironbridge, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Great veggie & plant based options too :)

Breakfast produce good quality, nicely presented but beans and tomatoes could have been hotter.

Bit disappointing - ordered a cream tea but the scone had been frazzled in the microwave before it came out so was disappointing - to be fair to the staff they didn't charge for that in the end. Also ordered a chocolate milkshake and we just got a glass of milk with chocolate powder stirred in... for over £3. Didn't seem great value. I will definitely try a different cafe next time.

Waitrice was misserable, drinks came quite quickly but then waited an hour before seeing the coupple who came in after us get their food. I asked when would we get ours to them see the staff frantically looking for our order. Salmon and poached egg on toast. The girls who worked their did not look interested and giggling. Whilst waiting I could see others getting agitated. Very disappointing 😞

Enjoyable Breakfast this morning. Had to give them a call as I had a query. Called back within 5minutes, they were extremely friendly and helpful. Second time I have been and will definitely be back

I won’t bother going back here again. Bought an Eccles cake yesterday. Bit into it to find a long blonde hair in it. Took it straight back to the shop, no apologies, the staff barely even looked at me. Assumed I would want a replacement. Just didn’t fancy another hair pie so asked for my money back which was given to me with no argument but then with no words at all. So rude.

Fresh and tasty full English breakfast. Very nice coffee. Attentive staff. Nice location and view of the bridge. Clean. Couldn't think of anything I'd change and will try and come back whenever I'm in the area.

Konumu ve lezzeti çok güzeldi, ortam daha da efsaneydi

Asked for items to be removed as was expecting a big breakfast and normally can't eat so I removed one of each item asked for tinned tomatoes get nothing then bring me out one cold half of tomatoe coffee was too strong when paying told it'll be classed as a light breakfast you bill me over £12? Absolute rip of!

Friendly staff, beautiful tearoom, stunning view great food 😍

We came here for a cake and some lunch for the children. The food was really nice and the staff very friendly and great views of the bridge.

Superb place for breakfast Kind staff and great location

Lovely breakfast, great little table outside for dog owners with heating. Service superb will definitely go again.

Fabulous food, wonderful service, highly recommend for lunch on a rainy or sunny day

Took a friend in here for lunch. She is gluten free but we'll catered for. Lovely.

My daughter and I had a very enjoyable afternoon with some very close friend from Staffordshire at Darbys .The menu had great choice and the establishment was very clean. The staff were excellent, in particular a young lady called Chelsea. Her manner was exceptional and she is a credit to your astablishment .Thank you everyone .We will return to experience this outstanding service and excellent food

Lovely food and great service by all of the young ladies Will definitely be returning

We recently went for breakfast here and it was wonderful. The food was very well cooked, the staff were polite, friendly and attentive. The place was warm and cosy, with a nice laid back atmosphere. Will definitely visit again.

I had the ironmaster breakfast which was great nice options too with a choice of tinned tomatoes or fresh ,brown or white bread and apple juice or orange,Nice pot of tea in white crockery.Cracking view ,good professional service and lovely decor. Bit pricy but I don't mind as a rare treat .Shame there's no two place tables inside.

Service was good. Attentive and polite. Food and codfee was OK.

We went to get a sausage roll as a nice treat for lunch … I hate to say it but they were super salty and not at all what we’d expect. We’ve had their pork pies before and they were lovely - we did buy one to take home so fingers crossed it’s as good as we remember.

We visited Ironbridge whilst on holiday and stopped here for a quick snack. I had a sausage roll and a small pork pie and my wife had a sausage roll and an Eccles cake. I love sausage rolls and pork pies and we sat outside, relaxed and enjoyed them at their tables, overlooking the bridge.

Bought reo ssusage rolls as they were advertising they were awsrd winners. I can eat anything but these were inedible. The sausage meat was pink and undercooked so a horrible soggy texture. They went in the bin after the first bite. Never again!

World-famous, delicious, hand-raised pork pies. This is a must-visit bakery. Located at the end of the famous iron bridge, we stopped here for some pies and pasties. At the time we were there, there was a BBC crew visiting the bakery. Clare Balding was interviewing the bakers as part of the documentary the BBC was filming on the Rivers in the United Kingdom, including on this day, the River Severn. A very hungry German bike rider had ridden all the way up the hill and had ordered one or two pork pies only to discover that he had forgotten his wallet. We therefore offered to pay for them and when paying, Clare Balding thanked us for our generosity. The second generation owner, Luke Eley, told us the story of how Richie Benaud had once visited the bakery during a visit to Ironbridge and then spoke about it, after which it because famous. He was amazed at how many Australians have since visited the bakery. He then told us that he was the first person to cook English pork pies in Japan, having been invited to do so as part of an English Garden Exhibition and how he told the Japanese that he was called the Baron of Pork! It was a great story and great to talk to him.

Great place for coffee, great view of the bridge

Really friendly and helpful staff offering an interesting range of snacks and meals. A really great cup of tea and you should really try one of their scones with butter and oodles of jam. We really enjoyed our visit.

What is it with these self confessed "traditional" cottage industries and rip off prices ? Do they think " Traditional" means charge extortionate prices ? My wife went in for 3 pork pies to take home for relatives. When we got home I took one in to my parents, when I took it out of the bag I said to my wife "That's disgusting for £2.90." She says back "These are the £4 each ones, the £2.90 pies were too small." The thieves must be quadrupling their outlay. I bet they sell very few pies to the locals. I repeat, DISGUSTING VALUE FOR MONEY.
