Ginger & Green Coffee House in Shropshire

This placeis so brilliant. Best breakfast in Church Stretton in my opinion!! The veggie breakfast was top rate. Will be my come to place in future when walking here.

Popped in for a quick bite to eat after a dog walk and had one of the best salads I’ve ever had in my life! The chef had really gone above and beyond to make my meal delicious. All the staff were so friendly and the place really does have a warm & welcoming feel! 100% recommend. Best coffee shop in Church Stretton!!

Heather & Batch A Wonderful coffee house, The facilities that work for me each and everyday for breakfast which holds a great line of coffees too

This is a fantastic place for refreshments. Drinks and food are excellent served with a smile and a welcome. We will return when in the area again.

I frequented this wonderful coffee house on Wednesday, and once more it was a total joy! The staff are warm and can't do enough to help you. The coffee is the best between Shrewsbury and Ludlow. The Breakfast baps a real crowd pleaser. Highly recommend!

Great café with excellent coffee and a broad selection of tasty sandwiches, salads and cakes. The staff were all super friendly and welcoming. We visited 3 times whilst staying in Church Stretton and couldn't recommend Heather & Batch more...

A really nice cafe. Warm and welcoming. Had a nice cup of coffee with a slice of coffee walnut cake that was fresh and delicious. My husband had hot chocolate and fruit flapjack which was also delicious. Well presented and nice friendly staff. All in all a great experience.

Not reviewed for a while, so having reviewed the other two great cafés in Church Stretton more recently, here goes. Coffee and cake; lovely latte and a really squidgy Flapjack, often found elsewhere to be dry these days. Heather and Batch does seem to offer more wholesome fayre to the competition, not that my dentist would agree re my choice on this occasion. Called again the day after but absolutely rammed, word is getting around. Back soon no doubt.

Fine locally sourced food, fair price. Scrambled eggs, toast and bacon was well prepared - very fresh. Coffee good as well.

Nice place, service efficient. Very good coffee and I am not really a coffee drinker. We didn't try cakes but they looked good.

Arrived at 2.50 pm for a late lunch. We were informed by a member of staff that the kitchen was closed, even for sandwiches. A sign inside the cafe said food available until 3pm. We opted for cake and coffee, which was all they were prepared to offer us. We waited for nearly 40 minutes for two slices of cake from the display case and one pot of tea. Staff stood around chatting, no enthusiasm for the job. We were made to feel uncomfortable for being there. We will not be returning.

9.30am, Saturday morning, about the only time you can get a seat as it gets very bust later on. Nice cofdee and really nice wholemeal toast! Good service too.

Great spot, friendly atmosphere enjoyed our coffee and cake. Range of local products used.

We had a nice breakfast but did not enjoy sitting so close to the stairs as we continually saw people in and out very close to where we were eating, it would make perfect sense to put a wood panel to shield diners from dust and mud.

Delicious Christmas blend latte and gingerbread hot-chocolate enjoyed with christmas cake, chocolate brownie and mince pie on Christmas eve 2022. Lovely selection of cakes and drinks served till 3pm on xmas eve. Beautiful cafe, lovely service.

We stopped off before travelling home after a weekend break. Great coffee alongside the most delicious blueberry Bakewell slice and apricot flapjack. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Thank you.

Called in here on the way through Church Stretton. The Bacon, Brie and Cranberry Toastie is fantastic. We had it on multi-grain bread and would highly recommend it. Son had pork and leek sausage roll and was more than happy with it. Staff very friendly and helpful. Coffee was fresh and hot and served with fresh milk, NOT UHT which we loath. Will definitely eat here again when in the area.

I have worked in church Stretton for 2 years. This was my first visit and very impressed Coffee was delicious The bacon sandwich was perfect. Great bread and local bacon Will definitely return

Called in here at the end of day on the way back from a trip. Very small but is managed well. Enjoyed delicious cakes (yippee gluten free and vegan 🎉) and a lovely cuppa. Very relaxed atmosphere and attentive staff.

Great food, excellent coffee, friendly service. We can highly recommend this place. Iced latte was very nice, so were the sausage rolls

This coffee shop is outstanding. We are on holiday in Church Stretton and have visited Heather and Batch for the last 4 days in a row. We were intending to try some other coffee shops but keep returning here. As others have said the bacon...

Visiting family and so many great cafés to choose from. I've reviewed before but have had several great experiences since then and it's time for another. Heather and Batch is spacious, the other good cafés are cosy! Really professional staff, great service. We are standard...

Great ambience, lunch was tasty and good value and coffee divine. Liked the people there too. All round an asset to Church Stretton.

My family & I were on the lookout for a nice coffee shop in the area - with proper espresso drinks, etc, etc. Heather & Batch came highly recommended so we stopped there for breakfast on Monday the 29th. Safe to say the 3 of...

We were on a late walking holiday to Shropshire, staying locally, and discovered Heather & Batch entirely by chance. The cafe has that delightful Old World feel to it but serves food that is up to the minute. Healthy and good quality food and drinks...

Popped on after a long day's walk, for a well deserved coffee, and so glad we did. Coffee tasted excellent- a unique taste. Available in different ways. Tasty looking menu available thougb we opted simply forca relaxing drink. Friendly staff and plenty of space.

Visiting on a hot day with a dog I'm tow we still wanted to sample the delights of Heather and Batch. I'd messaged ahead to check gluten free options were available and had no trouble ordering. The service was super friendly and the guys on...

Popped into this coffee shop for a (very) late breakfast on our way through Church Stretton yesterday. What a fantastic place! Very smooth coffee and lovely, locally-blended loose-leaf tea; great menu selection - most produce provided by local (named) suppliers. Ordered scrambled eggs on (tasty)...

Good selection of freshly prepared, wholesome food. Unusual savoury dishes and home made cakes. Friendly and efficient staff. An excellent place to visit.

A lovely little coffee shop with fantastic coffees and really tasty breakfast! Perfect place to start a walk from Church Stretten

Heather and batch served really great coffee and a good selection of cakes. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Free Wi-fi and Covid safe.

Nice atmosphere and decor. Really friendly and welcoming staff. Nice loose leaf tea blended locally.

We called in for morning coffee on Saturday. The place was quite busy, but we were able to find a socially distanced table, and had two lattes. The use of masks etc is strictly observed when you are not sitting at a table.

Superb coffee, delicious food and wonderful staff. This cafe serves fabulous locally sourced food presented in a simple and honest way. Highly recommend this place for lunch or coffee. PS carrot chutney made in Shropshire, for sale and I bought three jars!

Friendly relaxed service with good coffee and interesting looking cake selection.Food was moderately priced and subtly flavoured. We found the smashed avacado on toast tasty but the spinach and ricotta 'sausage roll' dry and fairly bland. Perfectly pleasant option for lunch or coffee. Just not on our list of places to go back to.

Quick lunch stop at the Heather & Batch Coffee House following a visit to Cardingmill Valley. Good menu selection. I had a simple cheese & tomato sandwich which arrived on the most delicious fresh granary bread with tangy cheese, fresh tomatoes. The small side salad of rocket and watercress with a balsamic dressing and homemade coleslaw was just enough. My partner, who is gluten free, had a ham & cheese toastie which he said was delicious. He then had a slice of gluten free carrot cake which he thoroughly enjoyed. To his amazement, there were at least 4 GF cakes on offer (not just the usual token brownie). Staff were friendly and efficient. Everything felt COVID secure. Really lovely place - we will definitely be back.

Lovely decor and atmosphere in this lovely cafe in the centre of Church Stretton. Lovely staff and great food. Whether you just want a coffee and homemade cake, breakfast or a meal, it is idea for family or friends. We enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend it and we will visit it again.

Looking for a light lunch we chanced upon this place. Good selection of lunchtime food and brunch dishes . I chose halloumi salad and was not disappointed. Lightly dressed, prepared with exceptionally fresh ingredients and just what was wanted. With leaf teas to boot, this is a nice quality offering that I would not hesitate to recommend. Maybe next time I will try the tempting array of cakes.

After a poor hygiene experience at Mr Bun the Baker across the road I popped in here. Charming staff served me with a smile. I ordered a ham sandwich on multi-seeded bread to take away. The sandwich was seriously good, delicious ham and the bread the best I have tasted in years! Oh, and excellent value too!

Church Stretton has a lot of coffee shops / cafes, but Heather and Batch serve the best coffee in town. Really authentic flat white.

We visited here and have to say the food was great service was good , ordered a sandwich not available on menu but were happy to do it for me a chicken , cheddar cheese and onion toasted sandwich and it was great , fully recommend and will be back 5 stars

We had tea and cake here in the afternoon. Delicious cake. The menu looked good for lunch. Staff very nice.

We stopped here briefly after a local walk. We both had a small cappuccino and a slice of chocolate cake. After the freezing temperatures on Caer Caradog due to the wind, this was a great warm place to thaw out. The coffee was as good as I have ever had and the chocolate cake was the best I have tasted in a coffee shop in years. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Church Stretton.

Met some friends here for a slow lunch, slow because of us, not the service. Just a short walk up the hill from Church Stretton Railway Station. It was quite busy and with a good atmosphere. I enjoyed everything.

We went in Heather and Batch today for the first time and we definitely be returning! Delicious coffee, wonderful toasted sandwiches and scrumptious cake - including gluten free orange cake. The staff were friendly and there was a lovely atmosphere. Thank you so much.

Nice snack restaurant on sand ford avenue. Cake looks good with decent portions. We have toast and preserve and peanut butter. Very tasty and reasonably priced. Quick service with a smile. Coffee also goo with a wide choice. Recommended.

So on the first day we visited church stretton we decided to grab a sandwich from one of the local shops for a picnic on our walk! Was amazing and the breakfast the next day was even better! Ths staff were really nice! Worth a visit!

We only called in for coffee/milkshake before walking up Cardingmill Valley, but we were so impressed that we came back for lunch about three hours later. The quiche (special) was excellent, and the ploughmans was one of the best I've ever had. Thoroughly recommend. Cakes looked tasty too.

Sandwich and cake, both very acceptable. Excellent pot of tea, modern, big and open, free wifi, happily recommend.

Great service, very friendly and helpful staff - group of seven adults Thoroughly enjoyable experience

Ate here for breakfast while on a family holiday with friends of ours.

Excellent home cooked soup with gorgeous bread. Nice cafe, very clean and welcoming. The lunchtime menu was very good and the quiche looked very tempting. Really nice coffee and wonderful staff.

We went for light lu hinch, which was reasonably priced. The staff spend a lot of time making sure that the tables are always clean. It seems that a great deal of what they sell comes from locally sourced produce. A nice lunch which we enjoyed very much. Just to add a note: there is no wheelchair access because there is a flight of stairs into the restaurant.

Popped in here again, early on a Saturday morning for brunch.

This is a comfortable and very pleasant coffee house. I had a portion of quiche and salad, it was delicious. I would recommend and will return next time I'm in the area.

Visited recently for a coffee on a quiet Saturday afternoon. Had researched the place before i went but couldn't find it initially - It's so easy to miss as it looks closed as you walk up the town and walk past but don't be fooled - It's open for business and what a gem it is! Walk down the steps, through the double doors and the serving counter is right in front of you.

We stopped off in Church Stretton on our journey home from a weekend away today. Food was amazing, you can tell it is locally sourced and 10/10 for quality. I love how you display where you get your products from as we actually went and purchased some bread from the bakery. Businesses supporting other businesses. We had a flat white which was perfectly done by the lad (sorry I didn’t get his name) - textured milk was second to none and the latte art was an added extra. Nothing was too much trouble, 10/10 for service.

I've been riding and hiking in Stretton for years but only until very recently has there been anywhere in the town that is a must stop (I've always preferred to hop in the car and head back to Shrewsbury) and that place is Heather & Batch.

Fantastic service, fantastic coffee, fantastic food, fantastic ambiance, fantastic atmosphere. Fantastic!!

my wife and I visited this establishment today, we have used it for several years under

We normally use Berrys and Jemima's in Church Stretton and noticed Heather & Batch on TA. This coffee house has an advantage over the other two in that it's roomy and you're not cramped as you can be sometimes elsewhere.

What a wonderful change. Popped in for a quick coffee an. It was really quick service.We didn’t eat but food looked lovely. Would say that the staff are friendly and inviting. But the hole cafe is very clean.🥪

Away from my favourite coffee house and lo - it’s now Heather & Batch!

Stopped off after a walk around Long Mynd. This was a real gem of a place serving local quality food. Enjoyed sausage rolls and lovely cup of tea, loose leaves, what a treat.

Popped in for a soup and a sandwich- but at 1pm no soup available! Even when we left at 2 pm the blackboard was still advertising carrot and coriander. Shame. Nice place, lovely but clueless staff. Could be a goldmine.

We just returned from a weekend visiting family in Shropshire and had the good fortune to stumble across Ginger & Green in Church Stretton after a lovely long walk on the Mynd.

Over the years we have often dropped into Green & Ginger for a coffee and it has always been good but since our last visit it has been taken over by a new owner, Charlotte.

I’m a local and visit g&g; fairly regularly. Today we ordered the vegetable curry. When it arrived it looked like mushed up baby food. One taste and it was absolutely tasteless and insipid. I returned it explaining why nicely and reordered a bacon sandwich which was absolutely fine.I was then charged for both at the end of the meal. Apparently because I had tasted it already and nobody else had complained. No, they just won’t return .......like me!

For 2 coffee obsessed people from Sydney this coffee was a welcome relief!

We only popped in for coffee, but we were impressed with the menu and the food being brought out to other customers. A few days later friends went in for breakfast on my recommendation and commented that they had the best soya mocha ever! Good range for vegetarians too.

Excellent coffee and really good food. The staff are very friendly and efficient, stayed around for lunch time and not disappointed

Visiting Church Stretton today we decided to take a ‘pit stop’ at Ginger & Green. What a great call that was. I understand it’s under new management and the lady certainly knows how to run a fantastic coffee shop! Judging by the popularity of this place, I’m not the only one to come to that decision. The choice of food and drinks on offer (all at a very reasonable price for the quality and quantity being served) made it difficult to pick! Only one thing for it - a return visit to sample some of the other delicious offerings! I highly recommend you pay a visit if you’re near Church Stretton at all - you won’t be disappointed. Happy staff, chilled atmosphere and a lovely menu - what’s not to like?!

This has been my favourite light lunch cafe /coffee house since Mike and Sarah opened it some years ago, and my wife and I have enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere in the coffee house, with lots of local regulars having happy conversations over lovely meals and coffee. I was a little worried when I discovered on my return from holiday that Mike and Sarah had sold their business, and that it was now under new ownership.

A great coffee house which is individual and quirky- superb coffees and hot choc sand also great homemade sausage rolls - a great place to warm up out of the wind and sleet - made us rethink our cycle but we did do it and the coffee helped x

Nice, welcoming place in the centre of town with good coffee and tea and a range of appealing things for lunch or a snack. Friendly and relaxed.

I was served a substantial and delicious lunch of warm quiche and salad in a friendly and comfortable cafe.

On the main street and looks better than most of the cafes / restaurants in Church Stretton. The welcome was ok not great but the lady who took the order was a delight. The food took quite a time to arrive but when it did it was good and simply tasty. Parting gestures were really nice. Worth visiting if passing through

It's a few years since l was last here. I remembered it as a nice place to eat or have a coffee but it has gone down in my estimation sadly. My latte was watery and there was no little 'bite' of a cake on the saucer which l've grown accustomed to in other cafes in my home town. If l'm sitting here looking for somewhere else to lunch, it's not a good sign...

I loved our visit to this tea/coffee house.

Unfortunately the coffee machine broken therefore no coffee available of any description!

Called in for a quick lunch, being a hot day I fancied a cold milkshake, my wife asked for a latte - we received a warm milkshake, tepid latte, average food and 'cold shoulder' for service at a high price.

We dropped in for a quick drink. Coffee was quite good (but I am very fussy). Millionaires shortbread also good. Clean table and good service.

Having sampled some food here, this pretty, almost sub-basement level, cafe/bistro feel, delivers on good old fashioned hospitality and great selection of healthy option foods to suit all pallets. A selection of homemade cakes was very appetitising!

Stopped over for a light sandwich lunch before going to the gliding club on the mind. This was a great find with good fresh, local food. Loved the large board on a wall showing an outline of the county and where much of the food comes from. Clean, good value and friendly staff. Will go back on my next visit to the town.

Had a takeaway lunch, due to having dogs with us and too hot to leave them in car.

Lots of choices of meals. Friendly staff. I had a warm goats cheese and beetroot salad. This looked lovely and tasted even better. The coleslaw and potato salad were yummy. My husband was really pleased with his ploughmans. All very nice.

Visited Church Stretton on Friday whilst spending the week in Shropshire and found this fabulous coffee house. Staff really friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. Varied menu with daily specials. Highly recommend the Ploughmans - really large portion and great value for money. My husband said his latte was the best ever, and he drinks a lot of lattes!! We also purchased a jar of the carrot chutney, made locally, this was also delicious. Highly recommended.

What a find this place is! We only live half an hour away yet its the first time we’ve been to Church Stretton and what a choice of coffee house!

Visited Ginger & Green with my mate Johnny in mid-April. We were on a visit to the outstanding Shropshire Hills to visit Carding Mill Valley and walk on The Long Mynd (and old Shropshire Way) from the “Bottle & Glass” pub in the nearby village of Picklescott. We only stopped for coffee & cake but the staff were lovely and even though they were close to closing, we never felt rushed. G & G are known for their coffee & tea but they actually have an extensive food & wine menu so stop by when you get chance. A great watering hole in the centre of lovely Church Stretton.

Hard to recall a lighter, thinner pastry crust ... very tasty inside too soft and creamy etc etc friends also enjoyed their meals too. Great flat whites and various tempting treats as well.

Popped in for lunch today and was very pleasantly surprised. Its not often we find food, coffee, cleanliness and very good staff all in one place but these guys and gals managed it effortlessly and with smiles to boot. The sausage rolls and quiche were superb, and the pot of accompanying relish was a mouthgasm! Will definitely be back as the flat white is the best we found within 90 miles, the only trouble is I may need stretchy pants if we visit too often.

The salmon quiche was fantastic, served with a lovely salad. A lovely relaxing lunch. Excellent service

Wow!! What a find !! Called whilst passing through Church Stretton A really good & varied menu, including many gluten free options. The panini was totally yummy ! We’ll definitely be returning 😊

Staying in Shropshire for a short break with family, great walking and scenery but we have missed our poncy flat whites that we enjoy so much in Kingston. G and G has proper coffee and great cakes with friendly service and handily near to the beautiful Long Mynd sites. Definitely good for a much needed hit of ‘proper’ coffee and cake.

Took a trip to Church Stretton again today to look at a antique store today and went in for tea cakes and drinks , prices seem around average too be honest but it was warm and clean and a friendly environment to take the weight off for half an hour or so , we had coffees and tea cakes and they were very nice , definitely better then other places we visited and somewhere we would definitely return too

If you are into GOOD coffee this is the place "Easy Joe" beans well used by skilled Baristas. The food is good too- not dining out - but top end cafe snacks

Delicious quiche, Panini and coffee. Oh, and cake. Friendly and welcoming. Will happily return for more.

We popped into the Ginger & Green Coffee House for a quick lunch whilst passing through Church Stretton and were...

This place is a must have.... lovely place... there panini' are gorgeous and cakes are yummy, gets very busy but...

This is a very busy place, which is always a good sign. Arriving for lunch at 12:30 on a Friday...
