Old School House , restaurant and wine bar in Shropshire

The food here is absolutely beautiful! My favourite place to eat in Oswestry. Brilliant service from all the staff, despite it being busy. A real gem. Highly recommend The Vegan Hash Bowl, with a poached egg and a generous serving of halloumi. Nice selection of cakes, with lots of dairy and gluten free options available.

food Lovely. Very happy to call again 😊

Really quirky building with exposed timbers and a fantastic menu.

Had a delightful lunch here on Saturday with a pal. Food is great, small menu with decent thought going into the meals. Staff friendly, polite and helpful. The Fat Lamp IPA beer was an unexpected find. Now I have to go and find that brewery.

The food here is incredible! The menu isn't enormous, but everything on it is outstanding, and excellent value. I recommend seeking out this slightly hidden place and enjoying everything it has to offer. The staff are super friendly and helpful too. Dropped in for a big breakfast today on a very busy Sunday morning just before Christmas. We were kept well informed of a little wait for food by the staff as we arrived, which was perfectly acceptable as we were quite lucky to get a table. The food, as ever, was exceptional, the atmosphere was wonderful and the staff excellent. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Visited Friday for Christmas meal with friends. Lovely environment and meal. Service was good. A real gem.

Lovely place with quality food!

Delicious lunch, lovely wine and delightful staff...and very good value... what more could you ask for. A real treat. Thank you so much.

Excellent, lovely restaurant. The good is freshly cooked and very tasty. The service is friendly. Great atmosphere.

Lovely little cafe great food and dog friendly. The food service was great.

Such a cute little cafe with wonderfully friendly staff. I had the best breakfast I've ever had out 😊 Thank you ❤️

If you want to visit somewhere with character, then you need pop in here. What a lovely little gem. I looked this place up as my boyfriend and I wanted to go to Wales for a hike but needed some good food beforehand. This place did not disappoint. Not only is the place super cute and full of quirky decor, but the staff were super friendly, funny and gave us advice on the food. We had the tostadas and the hash browns with our coffee which were amazing. It’s dog friendly too so great if you’re out and about with your pet. Will definitely be returning.

Lovely, hideaway eatery! Great service in an amazing old school house. Awesome food at reasonable prices and caters for most dietary requirements. Also dog friendly!

Lovely little cafe, definitely worth a visit

What a stunning little hidden gem. Definitely worth looking out for. Excellent food, coffee and who doesn't love sitting next to a Vespa! Really lovely place indeed.

One of the best breakfasts I've ever had! Thank you

We loved it. Loaded hash browns were a revelation.

Nice food quirky venue reasonable prices

Lovely cafe, good food and great staff

Fantastic place, highly recommend a visit. The breakfast is fabulous.

Food was delicious, the homemade hash browns are very very good. Great food at a reasonable price. My wife had the hash browns bowl as she is vegan, and she loved it.

Lovely, well priced food, great tea, and coffee... they had the nicest Chi latte and my pot of tea, I got 5 cups out of! I am very impressed and will definitely be visiting again.

Terrible tea very weak. Will not go back. Dogs in eating area

First visit was great before Christmas (a Saturday) 2023. But I had'nt realised you had to book now, for general eating in (March 2024). I'd avoid Saturday's as they are very busy. Realised today you can no longer just pop in for a cuppa. Not suitable for Pushchairs, Prams and wheelchairs. Very dark and very busy at peek times. No Disabled toilets.

Great atmosphere in old surroundings

Great interior, super friendly staff. The food is so good and good price too

Good coffee and excellent bun 😋

Always great food and service here. *****

Beautiful old school building with exposed beams and wonky floors and delicious food. Perfect for a cosy brunch :)

Well all the food here is amazing and the quality is excellent but our breakfast this morning 2 of them we had poached eggs but unfortunately they was not hot at all so had to send back but it did come back hot and fantastic as it should have been like that 1st time it came out. I would also say if you have coffee ask for milk extra hot or make point say extra hot milk as all 3 coffees we had only Luke warm and for the cost of drinks should make sure jug of milk is hot. (My husband was coffee barista) so it’s bug bite when he gets coffee and milk not done hot enough. But other then these little bits OSH IS 100% top place to go.

Beautiful old building. Had an amazing Sunday lunch with family and friends. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble.

Incorrect outdoor location picture. OSH Big Breakfast -- disappointing bacon, given so many good local butchers.

Lovely food, delicious coffee, great service, and all in a beautiful setting

Lovely quick family lunch. Called in for lunch with my 3 year old, we were grated at the door and told to sit wherever we liked, kids menu was brought straight over as we sat. I had chicken Caesar salad and my daughter had kids mac and cheese from the £4 kids menu, she also had a massive milk shake which went down well Lunch for us both and a drink each for a very reasonable £23 Will definitely be back

Absolutely love coming here for brunch! The food is absolutely delicious, the service always friendly, and the surroundings beautiful - I adore sitting out in the courtyard.

Great food, very polite and professional service, all in beautiful old building

I had a red Thai prawn bowl and it was beautiful. They were busy at lunch with a small wedding party in but we just squeezed on a table outside. Food was fresh tasting and tasty. We cycled and could park our bikes next to our table looking across the church yard. Will definitely go again.

Nice building. Not happy with the service - we were ignored for a long time till we actually asked if we could be seen and place our order. Nothing amazing re coffee and very limited choice of cakes.

Addition to previous review: In March we had out wedding here and could not recommend the place more if you are looking for an event venue. Sophie was great to work with and really catered to our needs creating a menu that was prefect for us. Sophie was great with communication and really made everything easy for us. The atmosphere was perfect, the staff was amazing and our guest had nothing but praise for the venue and the food. We have returned on several occasions after the wedding and will continue to be patrons in the future. Previous review below: I'm so excited to have been recently introduced to this place. I was looking for hours and saw there were only a few reviews so felt it was due another positive one for this hidden gem! Housed in a beautiful and unique historic building with 'cool' art work on the walls plenty of indoor seating and a lovely closed garden area in the back. I had a flat white which was perfect (perhaps the best I've tried is Oswestry) and tried some of the dishes my friends ordered which made me eager to come back. The vegan sausage was in house cooked and delicious as the hash. Menu looked like it catered to vegan, gluten free and meat eaters with effort put into every dish.

Comfortable, welcoming atmosphere, with friendly and professional staff. The food was superb quality and great value. Would definitely recommend to anyone, and we'll be visiting again soon

Visited this cafe with my cycling mates this lunchtime. Third time been here. Lovely food and great location. Brunch tostada was a treat

An ok breakfast but there are others that are better and less expensive.

An interesting old school building which is worth a visit to see and the staff are friendly and helpful However let down coffee that was not hot and food which is in my opinion no better than Costa but costs a lot more

Was there yesterday for my nephews wedding reception. Lovely environment, attentive and friendly team. Customer service was fab! The food was amazing with lovely vegan wraps and other bits, so I was very happy 😊 It was a lovely afternoon and evening. Thank you 😊

Lovely breakfast , all very tasty and freshly cooked , we will definitely visit again soon .lovely relaxing place

Lovely place welcoming great food and also have a lovely gluten free option. Dogs welcome.

Lovely breakfast, nice choice of items.

This is a beautiful old school house in the grounds of a church. Really atmospheric building, yet clean and functional. Spent a lovely couple of hours here eating fantastic food followed by an amazing hot chocolate. Price was good. Service was excellent. Will definitely come back.

My husband and I went there for first time for my birthday brunch. It was lovely 😍. I had gluten free scramble eggs on toast plus halloumi cheese on the side. The atmosphere is nice and warm. The staff were friendly. I would recommend to my family and friends.

Lunch was nicely presented by friendly staff. Recommended by the Tourist Information Office and wasn't disappointed.

Gorgeous, fresh food in a lovely old building nestled at the back of the church yard. Perfect!

Beautiful building, great service and the food was delicious with great choise at a reasonable price well recommended

Very accommodating staff, we were late for food but the kitchen stayed open for us anyway. Beautiful historic setting in the heart of Oswestry. Gluten free and vegan catered for. Lovely courtyard to sit outside in the warmer weather. Recommend 😊

3rd June 2022: What a gorgeous historical building sharing a railing fence to separate it from the grounds of St. Oswalds Church in Oswestry. I believe the Old School House Café is in "Heritage Lane" (so I've been told by local Oswestrians). Sophie the new proprietor come chef come hostess has done an amazing decor transformation and absolutely stunning. Love all the old with the new zen relaxing attractive colours, art and furnishing...the historically old, new and retro art pieces, prints, sculptures and even a classic Vespa scooter sit adoringly comfortable with each other... The food ingredients and menu choices are refreshingly tempting and looked delicious. What a change from what was here before and well done to Sophie, the interior designers, decorators and the craftsmen who put the lovely place together both on the inside and outside too..loved the outdoors vegetable boxes, the outdoors seating and tables area... The views to St.Oswalds church in the background just adds another special feeling to the amazing location of this little hidden gem of a Café inside an historical 15th/16th century listed building .. Can't wait to taste the cakes that were tantalising me but it'll have to wait till my next visit as my brunch was so lovely and delicious..no more space in my stomach! The staff were very friendly and welcoming, helpful and attentive..nice to see smiling and happy staff about... Well done to you all and a visit to this beautiful café, restaurant, wine bar and historical building is highly recommended..
