We stayed near Much Wenlock for 3 nights in September. We are a family of sisters brother and our spouses. We ate at the Raven hotel for 2 of the 3 nights first of all in the lounge bar and then in the restaurant. What a fabulous experience , both nights were different but the food was excellent. The first night was essentially good pub food Burger, sea bass battered hake and pork stroganoff. All great. The next night was as fine dining as you could find in big cities. An amuse Bouche with caviar and cod, starters ranging from delightful chicken liver pâté with a chicken skin water,scallops, trout and beetroot . The mains ranged from corn fed chicken to sea bass and a fillet steak( like butter my brother said,) and Prawn risotto, so many delicious prawns. The food was excellent, fabulous service and atmosphere. Very well priced for fine dining like this. We so wished we didn’t live so far away

We are regular visitors to this outstanding hotel, for lunch, dinner and overnight stays. A beautiful old building full of character. 2 menus, the fine dining and the informal lounge. Both change with the seasons and both give excellent choices. Vegans and vegetarians have good choices and the fresh fish - 8, 9, 10 different types - is a real pleasure. Excellent choice of wine, sommelier Nuno very experienced, i have his wine pairings a number of times a real treat. The taster experience is exceptional. Staff are lovely, knowledgeable friendly and always professional. We have stayed overnight in a number of the hotel rooms, all spacious with big comfortable beds, Egyptian cotton bedding and soft fluffy towels with a powerful shower. Breakfast also super,particularly enjoy chefs own granola. A wonderful hotel which we visit regularly and is always a real pleasure

Stayed a night for a school reunion. It was absolutely wonderful. Polite, friendly but also relaxed. Felt very well looked after. Breakfast was delicious. I normally dread eating bfast in a dining area but for the first time ever I loved it because the atmosphere was stress free and relaxed. Nothing was too much trouble for the lovely staff. The room was gorgeous and the bed was very comfortable. It was a genuine treat to stay at the Raven. Thanks to all those involved for an exceptionally lovely stay.

The Raven Hotel was an excellent find for a family visit to the area. We booked 2 rooms and were very happy with the friendly greeting and assistance we had from Chloe. It continued when she made contact to check on which of us had a Garlic intolerance. When i explained my situation she recommended that we spoke to Chef Lee. How fantastic was he, so very helpful and knowledgable about all the food he was cooking from fresh that could be adjusted for me. When the meal arrived it did not dissapoint. The whole ambience in the restaurant from the superb food and friendly, efficent staff and for breakfast next morning was superb. It made for a very enjoyable evening and complete visit. We also told Chef that my husband was intolerant of Aubergines and he and Lee came to a mutual decision that they were an awful vegetable! Imagine how much we laughed when an Aubergine dish was presented to my husband as his starter - see photo - great fun from Lee which we all appreciated. The room too, was very comfortable, our only complaint being the overbath shower taps were a nightmare to adjust to get a decent temperature to stand under, we were either almost scalded or frozen - something that really ought to be addressed as it could be dangerous. We shall certainly stay again when in the area. Thank you Raven staff for looking after us so well.

Sunday lunch. It is quite large and was full. It is oak beamed and the interior is a delight, with wonderful paintings on sale from a local artist (at great prices). Nice and warm. A forty minute wait for starters, which were great. The roast beef was nice and pink sirloin ( 2 thick slices) and was "best ever". Superb veg ... but the yorkie was stone cold and lumpen. The staff didn't react calmly to a constructive criticism. They gave us a substantial discount, which was not what we were seeking, but was appreciated. The ice cream (mint choc chip) was another "best ever". Overall a good memorable meal. We will definitely return.

Ive been to the Raven Sunday Lunch on the 20th February with my Mother and my Wife, i can only say what an outstanding service, very well managed team, we were in the main restaurant but they had people in the other restaurant too for the number of people having lunch and 3 members of staff they have done an outstanding job. The young Lad was the star of the day he was in the bar doing drinks serving food and still going to every table checking if it was everything ok with the meal👏👏. The two young ladies always polite and with a smile on their face, very professional, will be our new restaurant for sunday lunch.

Chose to eat here because of the historical connection with the story of Much Wenlock and the modern Olympics. There is much information about this, photos, old menus and information about the meeting held here.We were made welcome and the dining room is pleasant. Some of the party had fresh fish which was delicious, the leek soup did not taste of leeks so perhaps was something else, other dishes were declared OK. Other point is that we found the chairs rather uncomfortable with no back support.

Having walked around Much Wenlock we decided on The Raven, and if you do the same you won’t be disappointed. Sea Bass fillets perfectly pan fried served with a selection of gorgeous greens and triple cooked chips, all scrumptious. My daughter who is vegetarian had the ‘avocado burger’ which we were surprised to discover was an avodaco in place of the bun, filled with a falafel burger and salsa. Again all was perfect. Hubby had fish and chips and all devoured without much delay so another happy camper! If we weren’t on holiday and lived closer we would be back very soon. As it happens we will have to wait until fate brings us back. Thank you The Raven, you deserve to do very well.

This renowned restaurant had been on our list of places to visit for sometime. It’s a traditional old hotel with a quality dining room. After drinks in the bar we shown to our table. For starters I enjoyed the braised lamb croquette with broad beans, burnt onion purée and mint oil very tasty and beautifully presented. The beetroot starter was also enjoyed. For mains I enjoyed the sirloin of beef with celeriac purée, kumquat compote, honey comb and bee pollen crust it was excellent. The belly pork with smoked pomme purée and pink lady apple was also enjoyed. Dessert was chocolate mousse with honeycomb and salted caramel ice cream again beautifully presented with a taste to match. So far so good but it only rates a 4 star as the cheese board promised much but failed to deliver with rather a small portion of cheese and very little in the way of accompaniments and disappointing biscuits. The other criticism was that at no point were we offered the wine menu and in fact we had ask a waitress to refresh our drinks. Overall I enjoyed the food but service levels failed to match it. I would come back but my wife was less enthusiastic.

The online bar menu really doesn't do justice to the food available. The night we ate there were 12 different fish available . I chose the lemon sole which was beautifully and simply cooked and presented. All 4 of us had fish and all were very much appreciated. I had the bread and dips to start an enormous plate of exceptional good bread and 3 different tasty dips. Certainly enough to share for 2 people. Our 4 puds were also very good, my crumble was very good and again a large portion. Our servers Emma and Nuno were knowledgeable friendly and professional both a credit to the restaurant. Will certainly be visiting again soon

For a restaurant with an accolade of 2AA rosettes we found it disappointing in several aspects. The soup was Luke warm and we had to send it back for reheating.The main course roast was served on plates which were not heated which I think a basic rule for any good chef.Quality of food was fairly good but not worthy of 2AA rosettes with the exception of the beef itself whic was excellent.When choosing a restaurant with this sort of accolade One is entitled to expect every aspect of the food to be first class and this did not quite meet expectations.

This was a special visit for a birthday. We all felt that the food presented fell below the standard to be expected for the cost. The starters were passable if somewhat small, however the main courses left much to be desired. Two of these were breast of duck which were too tough to tackle without requesting a steak knife. Even when cut into small pieces too tough to chew. The staff seemed to think this OK and was the fault of the supplier. No substitute was offered. The small amounts of vegetables were sufficient only for decoration. Nobody enjoyed the whole meal and we left without trying a pudding, normally a favourite.

Absolutely love The Raven and it’s lounge bar. The food is freshly prepared and always well presented. The staff are friendly and always make you feel welcome . Dietary requirements are never a problem. Definitely worth a visit.

Excellent service with an amazing range of very special food. Expensive evening but celebrating, so worth pushing the boat out! Lovely surroundings and atmosphere. Looked after by waiting staff beautifully.

The food and service was superb. All fresh produce and the cheese board featured beautiful local cheeses.

We ate here while staying in Much Wenlock. We'd been told on booking that we'd need to choose between the 'a la carte' menu and the louge menu. Fair enough, but we'd have liked a bit more flexibility, i.e. one of us being able to choose from each, or being able to choose the 'a la carte' option while sitting in the lounge (which was lovely and quiet - more appealing than the rather noisy restaurant).

A very nice hotel, quiet and comfortable within easy reach of the beautiful Shropshire Hills, perfect for walking, or driving. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast and dinner were excellent. We would definitely stay there again, when in that area.

We had not eaten at the Raven for a couple of years, not since its rising star chef, Jason Hodnett, had left, so I was not sure what to expect. Add to this that we were having dinner there in the dead time just after New Year, when many restaurants either close completely or draw in their horns, I was a bit apprehensive. I need not have worried. First class ingredients expertly cooked and imaginatively presented, with top-class service. I know of no better food for many miles in any direction.

We love this hotel. We had heard how good the food is and we planned to have our 40th wedding anniversary here. We stayed the night before in a very pleasant room. We had a wonderful lunch for about 20 family and friends including 4 small children. Friendly and helpful staff. We have been back taking some friends for a celebration Sunday lunch. They were so taken with it all that they have now taken some friends for a Christmas lunch today. We have also been back, just the 2 of us, for a lunch in the bar and received the usual friendly welcome and excellent food.

Was feeling a bit fed up after a bad morning. The calm atmosphere was what was needed. Nice white table cloth and napkins. Warm fire. The food was served with style.

What a lovely wee hotel. When we arrived it was undergoing some refurbishment in the bar and looked a little dated decor wise. But when it came to dinner and breakfast, well it was fantastic. Incredibly good food well presented. A wide variety of unusual choices. Everything we had was excellent. We managed to get outside on the second day for pre-dinner drinks in the lovely courtyard. When asking for a drink friendly staff said we could have whatever we asked for, super. Rooms were much smarter than the hotel decor so dont be decieved. Given the refurbishment that could all have changed by now anyway!!

We booked dinner at The Raven for our first wedding anniversary, having got married in the local area and heard fantastic things about the food. My Mother had been with friends and, whilst notoriously expensive, confirmed that the food was exceptional. We had been meaning to go for years and were delighted to have got a table at short notice. However, our visit was a huge disappointment. We discovered after the event that the Chef who had put it on the map for fantastic dining and achieved two AA rosettes (Jason Hodnett of Great British Menu fame) had left at the start of the year. We really should have checked that before booking.

Casi 40 libras por cabeza vino aunque la comida estaba buena, para ese nivel de pasar que esperas que sea más de una experiencia en términos de la atmósfera, la comida, los camareros, etc.

Had a dinner there and it was wonderful, five star food and service, not cheap but well worth the cost for such lovely fresh locally sourced food
