Horse and Jockey in Shropshire

On the way back from Liverpool airport my car broke down with my wife and young children with me. I managed to get the car into the car park of the Horse and Jockey. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and helped us arrange for a local garage to repair our car as we didn't know the area. We had an excellent meal, very high standard at a great price. The pub is beautifully presented and very clean and tidy. The kids had a great time in the play area. The local ale was very good as well! An unfortunate breakdown was made easier by a lovely afternoon.

. Remember 'service with a smile'. It's here. Arrived for drinks then had snacks too. Food good and reasonably priced. Atmosphere A1. Jack and his team clearly enjoy serving. Always attentive and organised. And hardworking too. Any pub manager that is struggling simply visit here and see how it's done perfectly

Had a fantastic meal Very good choice of meals and more than most restaurants vegetarian choices Which was very good to see as it’s definitely getting harder to find restaurants that do more than a couple of choices Staff very friendly and helpful Great atmosphere and decor

Visited a number of times and always a great meal. Pre-booked a table and glad we did as it is very popular in the evenings. We all ordered the fish and chips - good sized portions and very tasty - best around! Ordered desserts too which were all delicious. Just a small little niggle - one of our party had not finished their drink (there was 1/3rd left - actually more than another member of our party had remaining) and a member of staff swiped the glass on their way past, it happened so fast as we were seated in the pathway that there was just no time to say anything. Staff were positively very friendly and attentive...although in a way too efficient, such as with the glass and also the clearing of our table within seconds of us finishing eating. It did just make us feel like once we had our meals that there was an urgency to make us leave even though we would of stayed for a further drink. Will continue to visit but maybe a small improvement to take on board.

Booked our table for two by telephone. Large easy car park. Attractive outside area. Met at th⁹e door with a warm welcome and efficiently taken to our table. Interesting attractive menu. Good reasonable prices. Interesting choice of ales. I had the Acorn Ale which was lovely. My wife had the pork and I had burger. Both meals were excellent, as was the service. Bit disappointing they didn't have Sixsmith gin or Schweppes tonic but everything else was excellent. Puds of cheese cake and crumble was also good. Toilets were clean. All staff were efficient and welcoming and caring. The whole place was clean and relaxing, and extremely attractive. We shall certainly be back. I highly recommend this establishment as one of the best meals/eateries we have visited.

We visited today as a family, the pub was about a quarter full, dogs are welcome. They have a stand alone menu which is gluten free. It has many of the choices from the regular menu and lots of options. I had lamb shanks, followed by a gf Belgian waffle. I even received gluten free biscuits with my coffee at the end. The food was delicious, the service prompt and friendly. The pub is cosy with log burners, and a relaxed atmosphere. We have been here for drinks on busier days and again found service be good. Would recommend.

This particular establishment we’d used Trip Advisor for - and having seen its good reviews then chose to dine here when we were in the area. And we weren’t disappointed! It has a lovely contemporary interior which retains a comfortable atmosphere and there was a fine selection of local cask ales. The menu was appealing and the staff very helpful and friendly. As we were moored nearby on a narrow boat, I was lucky enough to be able to sample a few of the beers on offer on the evening we visited! The food was excellent and sourced from local ingredients and it arrived promptly after ordering - this despite the pub being very busy. It’s noted that this establishment has justifiably won an excellence award from Trip Advisor for 2024. All I can say to add to that is ‘keep up the good work!’

I was painting the shed and, low and behold, I ran out of the cream paint. Needing the same brand to ensure colour consistency, I searched the internet. Screwfix had it. Great, I tried to order a tin. The nearest depot to us that had it in stock was Uttoxeter or Whitchurch. I consulted the wife. Whitchurch, she said. I'll buy you lunch at the Horse and Jockey. Great I thought. Hence, here we were again, a tin of paint in the boot and the fuel tank full up from the cheap garage across the road. We tried a burger this time. Absolutely delicious. We washed them down with a bottle of an unknown Italian wine recommended by the waiter which, too, was exceptional. No wonder we keep coming back. Any excuse!

Lovely venue, with attention to detail; warm welcome; friendly and knowledgeable staff; plenty of choices on menu; delicious food; good atmosphere; dog friendly - in short, a pleasant experience. We shall return!

We were looking for a place to eat for a group of us after a falconry experience at Shropshire Falconry Centre. After a couple of mediocre meals elsewhere we found the Horse and Jockey. What a revelation. Delicious food, excellent wine, friendly, efficient service, wonderful atmosphere and good value for money. The whole group loved their meals. We (my wife and I) enjoyed it so much that we drove for an hour each way to lunch here for our third time. Friendly, family run restaurant and Churchill tableware (for the pot turners reading this). We will be back. Oh! And cheap fuel in the garage opposite.

Very friendly ! Good beer and super crispy fish and chips served instantly. After half a day with canal boat we all enjoyed a nice meal and great ambience.

Visited today, Monday. Open all hours but quiet today. Three vegetarians and me. Amazing choice. Excellent service. Well prepared food. Large portions. Overall just about the best.

Just had a fabulous meal. Food fabulous amd service also fantastic. I wanted the pie but unfortunately there was none left so the manager organised for me to have exactly the type of meal I fancied - i wanted something comforting - mash gravy veg, you get the idea. Anyway the chef didnt dissapoint and i got the yummy lamb shank, buttery mash, fresh seasonal veg and gravy. Other main meals and childs were also fabulous. Thats all before we got the dessert - we had the bakewell tart! Husband is quite the connoisseur lol and he said it was the best he had had in years with actul proper homemade custard on the side. Tea, coffee was fab and other drinks available a good selection. We will be back.

Det här är en bra och trevlig restaurang, nära till kanalen som vi kom på. Börja med en kanna Pimms...

Me alojé aquí en un viaje de regreso a casa a tomar algo de comer después de un largo viaje en coche. El interior parece relajante, con mesas de luz y agradable rústico, y había una buena variedad de ale, pero yo estaba un poco decepcionado con la comida. Pedí el bife de costilla a £17. 95 y era tan salado, era todo lo que podíamos probar; apenas podía probar la carne. Los tomates estaban bien, pero las patatas fritas parecía poco hecha y sabor un poco extraño, creo que debe haber sido preparado en un lujoso aceite pero prefiero patatas chips. Sólo tiene un sabor como La comida tenía buena pinta, pero el sabor lo bajó y yo no siento que lo pasar por aquí, aunque yo no me puedo quejar del servicio.

Me aburrían. El WiFi no es genial y la zona de juegos exterior es básicamente un warzone. La comida no está mal, pero no vale la pena esperar en mi opinión. Las bebidas son buenas porque los vasos que tienen aspecto bien. Me pregunto donde puedo conseguir algunas.

Great place nice real ales friendly staff but food was really poor won't eat there again or at least until they change the chef . Disappointing !
