A clean, warm and welcoming venue, one I never miss an opportunity to attend.

Thank you to the manager, James, and his staff for making our visit to your restaurant on Wednesday, the 1st of may a very special one. They even took the time to celebrate my husband birthday, which we both appreciated. The carvery is well presented and tastes lovely, there is very good choice for the desert menu. Which are all homemade and taste delicious. James and all his staff are so very helpful and friendly, nothing too much trouble for them. The atmosphere in there is great 👍 My husband and myself we always look forward to eating there. We would definitely recommend 👌 that people who have not eaten there yet try it, you definitely will not be disappointed.

Sedgley Gardening Club once again enjoyed a lovely Post Christmas Lunch at the Lodge. Our members were full of praise for the quality of the food, the service and the very considerate and helpful staff. Many thanks, we will be back next year.

Here for a meal organised by a group I attend. 50 people of a certain age. Food was excellent. Choice of 4 starters,a carvery and dessert. Everything was well cooked and presented with very generous portions. Catering for such a large group is not easy but service was quick and staff were very friendly and welcoming. First time here but would definitely recommend

No complaints about the staff who are helpful and friendly. No complaints about the food which is delicious, the prices are very reasonable. Overall an great place for banqueting.

Pleasant staff, fast service, friendly atmosphere, full of OAPs like me! Good value for money and selection of desserts, carvery main course though.

Wonderful place for any club event, so efficient and pleasant!!

This has such a homely feel. The staff made us feel like family. They were so helpful.

A great place for a meal. Good and friendly service.

Good quality of food, staff can't do enough for you, highly recommended.

Brilliant. Excellent food and service. Lovely venue

Well got to give this place a 11 out of 10 . Don't expect any major refinery. This is good honest Sunday roast & the target audience is definitely mature . Went for mum in laws birthday lunch so large group 13/14 . The service was brilliant so a big thankyou if your reading!! the front of house gentleman was very professional & did over his brief . Food was fantastic in quality , portion size and value for money . I can honestly say this was as good if not better than places we've payed over £50 a head . Choice of on tap beer / lager is not extensive but backed up with some better bottled beer . We will be using again !! & while we was there booked another large party birthday dinner . The extra slice or two of meat with no quibble goes a long way .. Just got to mention the added gravy with mushroom and onion was a winner .. they did have a classic gravy too July 2023 Another meal here and again great service and food !! Every one in our group enjoyed ..

We went to the Lodge on Friday night the 17th Feb for a Family celebration. The food was excellent, main course and dessert. The staff couldn't do enough to help, especially with a few elderly people in our party.

Went to the Lodge today for the second time in less than a week. The food is always excellent as are the hard working efficient staff. Excellent value for money and it is always a pleasure to visit this place.

First ever visit enjoyed the whole experience will be coming back

Funeral wake held here and was a great venue

We had a work planning meeting at this venue last night. Probably about 35 of us ate there and we were treated to what I can only describe as the most stupendous carvery i have ever eaten. I had beef and pork and the meat melted, turkey available too, cheesy mash, scrumptous roasties, yorkshire pudding, carrots,sweetcorn, garden peas and cabbage with english mustard, apple sauce and cranberry . It was marvelous and considering how many there were of us it was piping hot. An excellent way to end the evening. And for the serious eaters amongst us a bevvy of puddings both hot and cold to follow. I give it a 5 star rating to be complimented by the really friendly and only too happy staff who looked after us. Well done Shipways at The Lodge . Tremendous Job. 🙂

Attended the Lodge today for a wake, another wonderful setting for a celebration with family and friends. All of the staff are always attentive, caring and professional. They provide an excellent service for many occasions (we have had meals, christenings and wakes here) and they have always been a lovely occasion. The food is always delicious with a wide selection of hot and cold buffet. A big thank you to all!

Amazing staff amazing food love this place always good staff are so helpful couldn't do emought for you will be back again

First time dinning in at shipways at the lodge & it won't be the last. Carvery & desserts were delicious. Staff we're all very friendly & Megan was very well mannered. Also just to let you know I've found my ring, but thank you for taking the time to look for it ☺️

Took my nan here for a carvery and it was the best ive tasted! Delicious meats and perfectly cooked roasties with loads of extras to chose from. Finished it off with some amazing sponge cake and custard. Would recommend.

Hadn't been here for years, but it didn't disappoint. Food was amazing, hot, carvery expertly served, wide range of veg and potatoes available. Choice of starters, and about 9 puds I had the bread and butter pudding which was as light as a feather and very tasty! The service was impeccable and they didn't encroach leaving you to enjoy the meal. We had an elderly lady with us and they couldn't do enough for her. Would highly recommend, and I for one won't be leaving it too long before I return. Exceptional.

Visited for an anniversary meal & had a carvery. Staff are friendly, they took the time to learn my daughters name and made her feel welcome! The food was lovely, decent amount of meat given and loads of veg to choose from. I couldn't believe the amount of desserts available. Not somewhere I've thought of going for food but definitely keeping it in mind for next time

Lovely food, lovely staff, would definitely visit again.

Party booking, our choir’s 25th anniversary, the meal was super, service excellent. On leaving my friend had a nasty fall on the car park, James and staff were marvellous treating the wounds and contacting the ambulance. Would definitely recommend the venue.

We regularly go to The Lodge as a family. The staff are friendly and efficient and the carvery meall very tasty, with an excellent choice of vegetables. The desserts are scrumptious and it’s hard to choose just one! Many thanks to the team for some lovely afternoons/evenings out.

A lovely carvery all fresh and delicious a must visit

Had a really good tome , could not fault the service

Friendly staff, and lovely food. Really nice to go for a Sunday lunch and have great selection of desserts!

Great place for family or group get together. I've done a few lunchtime meals and have never been disappointed. The staff are very pleasant and helpful. Top marks.

Went to a birthday party & everthing was beautifully organised. x

Wonderful homemade tasty food.. Service 100% friendly efficient and delightful in everyway Thank you 👏👏😊😘

Very impressive carvery. Good portions of very tasty food. Service first class.

Booked this venue for a family party for 18. The whole process of booking and obtaining information was so easy. Everyone I spoke to was so helpful and couldn’t do enough to help. On the day the Carvery and desserts were excellent and Jamie and the rest of the staff were so welcoming and attentive. They even cut up our celebration cake and wrapped the slices so everyone could take it home! Just the best customer service for miles!

Very well organised and very good food

A lovely place to have a meal with friends and family staff are so friendly and polite I would recommend
