Stables Inn in Shropshire

We booked this for an evening meal as we were staying locally. Couldn't recommend it more - it's qaint, cosy, super friendly staff and amazing home cooked food. Worth a visit if you are in the local area 100%.

Stayed the night in the Stag room Saturday 5th October 2024 for a wedding reception at Ables Harp .Had breakfast on the Sunday morning. Lovely room ,breakfast excellent, friendly owners. Had a lovely time thank you 😊 xx

Had a great meal last night, The steak was very impressive and portions were very sizable, The lasagne was perfectly cooked and you can tell its proper home cooked not like pub chains. The atmosphere was very welcoming and the hosts were attentative. would recommend the toffee crisp cheese cake if you can fit it. would highly recommend a visit, you will not be disapointed. RH

We had a wonderful Sunday lunch here.Booking is advised.Wine selection not fantastic but the scrumpy is. We'd called in for a drink on the Friday and, charmed by the ambience booked a table for Sunday, we weren't disappointed.

Beautiful tradition very very old pub! We went late in the evening for drinks and there were only 2 locals in there. We were made to feel so very welcome and we enjoyed our experience. The landlady was lovely and friendly.

Visited today to meet up for my brothers birthday🤩 Been before on a couple of occasions . . . and as per - food was exceptional ! ! Staff took proper care of us (Spoilt ) Can't wait tm come back 👍

Came here for the views and some tasty grub. Such a beautiful location. A very relaxed, calming, old worldly pub. There were only 4 people and us two in the pub and we waited 40 minutes to get our food! Nice bar waitress but very slow service. I ordered a pie and was surprised when it arrived, it was very runny and didn't even look like a pie! But the cider and location was superb 👌

Lovely and welcoming with great food Thanks Chausson x650

What a gem of a find! Lovely place, excellent fresh, home cooked food, wonderful homemade desserts (the cheesecake was the best we’ve had in our memory), very clean and comfortable room, comfy bed, and you really could not wish to meet nicer people, the ladies who own this business are fantastic, really genuinely friendly, couldn’t ask for better hosts, we will definitely be back and highly recommend this haven of an Inn, if we lived nearer we would be in there all the time! ❤️❤️

So good I had to post it twice!! One from my business and one from my personal account! What a gem of a find! Lovely place, excellent fresh, home cooked food, wonderful homemade desserts (the cheesecake was the best we’ve had in our memory), very clean and comfortable room, comfy bed, and you really could not wish to meet nicer people, the ladies who own this business are fantastic, really genuinely friendly, couldn’t ask for better hosts, we will definitely be back and highly recommend this haven of an Inn, if we lived nearer we would be in there all the time! ❤️❤️ By the way, the breakfast was excellent too, the garden looks perfect for a few pre lunch or dinner drinks when the weather is good, see you again soon ladies xx

This is my favourite pub in the world. Stunning location, great beer and real cider, fantastic home-made food and a lovely atmosphere. Yes it's small so book if you intend to eat. There's a great beer garden overlooking the Stiperstones ridge - perfect for a sunny afternoon. NO big screen sports! NO jukebox! NO fruit machines! Perfect. Shame I don't live closer or I'd be there all the time.

A beautiful pub with a great atmosphere and exceptional food. Can’t recommend it enough!

The staff at Stables Inn saved our weekend after fitting us in last minute, after another local hotel cancelled due to a burst pipe. We stayed in the shepherd's hut, which was quaint and cosy, with a log burner to get the place really warm on a cold night. There's a toilet/shower block about 10 steps away with was very clean and well stocked with everything you need. We dined in the pub after enjoying a couple of glasses of wine snuggled up next to the fire. We ordered food, it was delicious and reasonably priced. All staff were very pleasant and friendly and even though they couldn't provide breakfast the following morning (due to the late booking) the went out of their way to provide a list of places we could go the following morning. Their recommendation turned out to be one of the best breakfasts I've ever had!! Overall, I'd definitely return for another romantic night under the stars. Only a short drive from Stiperstone if so plenty of outdoor goodness to be had if planning a weekend hike.

A wonderful find in a lovely rural location. Simple but relaxing dining pub with lovely home cooked dishes. Nothing fancy, but delicious and reasonably priced food. Natalie gave us a great welcome and made it a special evening. Highly recommended.

@stablesinn has been at the heart of the community since 1680 and is described as a pub that celebrates standing still, an oasis of calm in an ever changing and busy world and we couldn’t agree more! ⭐️5/5 Recommend 👍🏻 Price 💸💸/💸 Finding somewhere like this is one of the perks of being food obsessed. The menu suited the feel of the place and was dominated by traditional pub grub and warming homemade pies made using locally sourced ingredients. Pies all round and between us we tried them all. Steak and Shropshire blue Stilton had all the depth of flavour you would hope for in this hearty dish. Yes it could have taken more Stilton but who cares it was delish. Chicken leek and bacon pie was not for the faint hearted, perfect for those who love rich and creamy sauces. Finally the mixed mushroom and Gruyère pie, again heavy on the cream but great flavours, all topped with light, crisp puff pastry. Our meals were served with a choice of potatoes (we opted for chips to mop up the gravy) and fresh vegetables. This was all about the hearty traditional home cooking and we certainly felt warm inside like we’d been wrapped up in a cosy blanket. Bron and Nat have created home from home and we could have spent many more hours in front of that huge roaring fire with the pub dog. For the overall experience it has to be 5/5 we loved it from the minute we walked in to the minute we had to tear ourselves away. For us thestablesinn has everything you could hope for in a traditional country pub and for anyone staying over there are rooms or a shepherds hut complete with spectacular views of the countryside, great for visitors to the area. Definitely one to put on your list and let’s face it what could be better after a walk in the beautiful Shropshire Hills. Hope you like it as much as we did and we may just see you there! #theshropshirefoodies #shropshire #shrewsbury #shropshirelife #foodreview #foodblogger #foodie #foodshare #walking #instagood #countrypub #pubsofinstagram

A real slice of Britishness, a true local pub hidden between the fields in on a country road with hidden carpark under the stars. Probably one of the best meals i've had, proper home made pub food...with more finesse. Fire was lt, locals and staff were extremly welcoming and the atmosphere was so inviting and cheerful. There were families with kids, couples, friends and game keepers (in full garb). Get yourself a port and a steak pie, you wont regret it!

Great meal on Sunday ,log fires lovely food could not be better Service and ambience first rate .we will be back I had beef and the gravy was special sweet a little on the small side but nothing to quibble about

Stayed in the little hut for one night, which was perfect. Pub itself is an absolute gem. A proper country pub with seriously good food.

My father bought this pub in the 60’s when we moved back to the UK from Guernsey. It was my home for several years. I decided to take my wife there as a trip down memory lane. It is essentially the same, but the current owners have made some lovely improvements . It has retained its history and character, but they have made some great changes, giving an overall experience of comfort, tasteful decor, excellent food and drink, but all still with a warm family atmosphere. It always was a great pub and it was so great to see it hasn’t lost its charm. Our hosts were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. It’s in quite a remote location, but the fact that it is so popular speaks for itself. Angus and Claire Wilkinson

Wonderful Sunday roast and catered for gluten intolerance. Cosy pub with log burner. Great service.

Great little pub to drop in for a pint, a fabulous meal or even few nights stay. Shame that there are only 5 stars to give for location, this is one place that needs the full 11. We got the warmest welcome on arrival and felt like we were already home. Visit if you can, you will not be disappointed.

A remote and quaint little Inn set in the Shropshire hills. Very dog friendly also. The inns has an unusual layout with three small rooms where to eat and enjoy your food . There is a wood burner leading to a cosy ambiance. We'll worth calling in.

What a great find. Been here for drinks but today we got act together for food. Wow! Hit first by great atmosphere, coming first from dex the dog, whose bark soon melts into love and fuss, friendly cat too then a warm welcome from locals and landlady. Really quirky place, proper country pub. Such a chilled place to spend an evening and food was great. Not often that I clear my plate! Even went for pudding though it did beat me. Will definitely be back, it may be my new favourite place😊. Thank you to all who made us feel so welcome, you are truly a hidden gem.

We recently stayed overnight in The Stag room with our spaniel Buddy - what a find this place is! Set in the most glorious countryside with beautiful views, this is a very special inn. We received a very warm welcome , and after a great walk over the fields right outside the pub, we ate a delicious home cooked meal sitting in the delightful garden. Our room was beautiful- tastefully appointed but retaining rustic original period features. The view from our window was breathtaking. We can't wait to return ! Thank you to all the hard working team at The Stables.

A must! Stunning setting, tasty food, with lovely staff - thorughly recommend a visit. You cant spend a nicer afternoon, especially after a walk in the local countryside, sitting in the garden looking over the hills

Lovely meal! Home made steak pie, and the dessert toffee crisp cheesecake and cream, delicious!

Wonderful location. Excellent food. Staff very helpful and friendly, interior rustic and gives off 70's vibes, very nostalgic for all those who remember country pubs back then. Do you do jamming nights ! Will be back 😀

I stayed here for a couple of nights while competing at Loton Park. The welcome was excellent and warm and the service super!!! For supper on Saturday i really pigged out on their amazing mushrooms on sourdough; a steak and stilton pie and then mint aero cheesecake. It was bloody marvellous AND the hot dishes were served on hot plates!! Hope some of you manage to drop in for supper soon. Well worth a visit!

Wonderful little piece of tranquility in an already tranquil county. Just take a little detour and pop in for a drink. If the sun is shining you'll thank me. Can't comment on the food, but when I have I'll update. It sounds lovely and is all homemade. Highly recommend.

Very rural Fantastic views from the garden looking across the valley. The food was absolutely delicious we went to the Stables Inn twice whilst staying just up the road (2 miles away) in Hemford for a week . Dog friendly as well Phone for opening hours as they do vary day to day

We stopped here in our campervan last night, this being the second time, if your looking for a lovely quiet stay away from it all its brilliant , food is all home made and down to earth and full of flavour, ales are also good, friendly locals and staff too, well worth a visit, just on the edge of the picturesque Shropshire hills

It's a bit on the small side and everyone is sitting on top of each other. The Sunday lunch is OK. The beef was really good but the potatoes and cauliflower cheese were very disappointing. The coffee arrived without sugar or a spoon. I heard another diner say "I will get my own knife and fork shall I". The Prosecco was nice.

We took the family and had a lovely meal. The service was great, the food delicious, the chocolate orange cheesecake was amazing. Will definitely be back. We didn't stop overnight but I imagine it would be fabulous. Lovely rural setting

We stayed in the Shepherds Hut next door and had a fantastic time here. We met up with my sisters who were staying in another local holiday cottage. We had all our evening meals here and the owners did a superb job keeping us fed and watered. I am vegan and my sisters are vegetarian and there was plenty of choices on the menu. The quality of the food was excellent. Nice welcoming fire and the beer was good too. Highly recommended pub. Fantastic views over the surrounding countryside.

Beautiful location, cosy accommodation, loved it!

Best pub in Shropshire! Period!

Beautiful place, gorgeous food, very friendly people. Will definitely go again.

What a wonderful welcome we were given cold wet and hungry we were drawn in coats hung by fire to dry. Excellent food nothing was to much trouble. Different and some difficult diets all catered for. Would recommend

Amazing sunday lunch...the best beef we have ever tasted !. served beautifully ....friendly people here..... we were told of the history of the restaurant...so old,but with such a lovely atmostphere...really friedly people....will come again on our next vistit to shropshire....must be one of shropshires best kept secrets....

Came for a Sunday lunch, really tasty, great value. Will come again.

Enjoyed a lovely evenings stay at the Stables Inn, the Stag room was fantastic, everything you needed, lovely and cosy and a really comfortable bed. The evening meal was really enjoyable, chicken bacon and leek pie was amazing. Woke up to a lovely full English Breakfast. Very friendly staff, we will definitely be returning.

The best roast dinner going! We went as a surprise for my Fiancée on her Birthday, and it was gorgeous. Homely food, great selection of drinks, and a warm and friendly environment. Thank you Natalie, Bronwyn and team.

Excellent friendly service with very attentive staff, the food was delicious and the location quiet with beautiful views of the countryside. Did not stay but the accommodation looked delightful and unique.

What a find, we were at a wedding down the road and we found the delightful Inn. The hosts are wonderful and very friendly. I have to say the bedroom was amazing, beautifully decorated and the bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in. Full English the next morning was cooked to order and very tasty. We shall be back to try an evening meal

A fairly small pub but packed with character. We thoroughly enjoyed an evening meal there. A friendly welcome and good service. Highly recommended for a visit.

Wonderful little place, great big log fire, and good prices.

Was staying nearby and was doing some research on where to eat,this place popped up, the reviews were good so decided to give it a whirl. So glad we did. Apparently this pub is over 400 years old and has always been an Inn of sorts. I chose the steak pie and my wife had a chicken leek and bacon pie. Mine was superb and my wife said that so was her pie. The service was excellent and you could tell that the food was fresh and cooked to order. Definitely pay this place a visit and take your dogs too.

I came across this venue when Googling somewhere to stay over night after dropping our children at a PGL break. What a find. From initial contact and throughout our stay, there was nothing I would have changed. The Stag room that we stayed in was beautiful with fabulous views and everything we needed for a great overnight stay. The bed was the longest and probably the most comfortable I have ever slept in. All the decor and features in the rooms complement the existing charm of the building. The pub itself is cosy and rustic and the menu and food varied enough to have something to suit everyone and of very high quality. The road outside has virtually no traffic passing and there are plenty of places to walk on the doorstep. We also took our dog along for the stay as it is super dog friendly. He made friends with the pub dog, Dexie. My only disappointment is that we do not live close enough to visit more regularly. If it’s not in your planned route, it’s worth going out if your way for.

Very friendly welcome and our lunch was excellent. Great choice of vegetarian and vegan dishes too. The puddings were also fab. And great beer. Thanks

Excellent food , really hot and best Mac n cheese I’ve ever had . As for the snickers cheesecake ❤️….. Really friendly the chef popped out to chat a couple of times about adjustments with food order Locals very friendly !!! As per the menu the food is cooked to order so be prepared for a wait and enjoy the ambience Really good prices and worth every penny We will be back

We stayed in our camper on the carpark across the lane from the pub, was the most quietest night we have had at a pub stop, the pub its self is still old fashioned inside and has the same look outside, which is very hard to find nowadays and has a very homely look about it, they have 2 local cask ales on, which are very well kept, as I could tell being an ex landlord myself, we ate of the menu, not extensive or expensive, we had home made stilton and steak pie , there was massive pieces of steak in it and large pieces of stilton too, if you want somewhere of the beaten track next to some great scenery to wind down, I would definitely recommend it, oh and staff and locals were great too.

We stopped in our campervan for the night, the ales were great, Menu home made , Staff couldn't do enough for you, locals very happy to make you feel at home too. very peaceful location up a lane , beer garden overlooked some great scenery , the pub itself probably has the one of the oldest bars still left in tacked around the area with lovely character, don't let the outside put you of as they are doing slight improvements to the exterior prices were very acceptable too, we will definitely return.

Enjoyed home made steak and stilton pie washed down with cider. Great old pub with good food and friendly welcome. Pub is also dog friendly.

We visited the pub 3 times whilst on holiday close by. It is a very old, quite small cosy pub with a lovely warm welcome. We ate there twice and the food was absolutely delicious. We had steak and Stilton pie and mixed mushroom and...

Came here for a drink, the service was great, the beer was very good. Great pub decor and location. Food was very good as well.

An amazingly warm welcome, fantastic food and great beers. A truly excellent country pub, what more could you ask for!!

Fabulous real old pub. Food and staff were spot on. We recommend.

Very cute in the christmas season, vegetarian are welcomed! It was a really enjoyed moment. Thank you.

Lovely little place, warm welcome and really lovely food. Gets very busy at times, so best to book maybe. Plenty of parking outside, an indication to how busy this place can get.

The food was exceptional. Three steaks cooked very differently all beautifully. Chef had excellent skills. Chips and veg all given the same expertise and served with the same skill as the steaks. Brilliant

A lovely country pub, with excellent food. It’s run by two lovely girls, one cooks, one bakes- both excellently. Originally a drovers inn, a real pub and great atmosphere, it’s well worth finding, set in the most beautiful Shropshire hills. You will not be disappointed.

This country pub is well worth seeking out. It is quite a small pub, but it really does have an amazing atmosphere inside. The staff are very welcoming and attentive. We had variety of main courses and deserts and all the food was excellent. We...

Really the best pie's ever and so warming as was the welcome given we, as per govt. guidance sat outside on the last chilly evening of April 21.

Friendly cosy pub serving a very satisfying no- nonsense Sunday Roast. Plenty of succulent meat and masses of veg including a delicious helping of cauliflower cheese. All washed down with local beers.

We were driving back from Ludlow (beautiful) to Abels Harp (very quirky and cosy) and wanted to eat! We read reviews on here and decided to eat here. So glad we did, it was delicious. I had vegan shepherds pie and my partner had steak...

Amazing little pub. We went for dinner with my husband, he had steak and I had the mac and cheese, and it was one of the best meals I have ever had. Couldn’t recommend it enough, friendly, good range of food, warm and a lovely...

Brilliant views and friendly staff. Ate outside overlooking the Shropshire Hills. Menu was varied and well priced and the meals were freshly cooked and delicious.

Food was exquisite, value for the money was spot on. I had 14oz sirloin steak, I asked for rare and that’s exactly what I received. Very warm and welcoming vibe. Lovely smell with fire place burning. Shall definitely be making more visits. Highly recommend this little treasure.

We stayed in their shepherds hut, absolutely loved it, it's a perfect getaway. The pub is fabulous, amazing food and really friendly staff.

Amazing food, served with an array of veg, chips, roasts or flavoured smashed potatoes, cosy atmosphere, friendly attentive service well worth a trip to experience.

Stables Inn was a lovely cosy country pub we visited over our stay in Ables Harp. The food was absolutely delicious and freshly cooked with a vast variety of choice for the menu. Food was reasonably priced each main roughly £10 which comes with a potato side choice and vegetable side choice. Drinks were very reasonable and tasty and we walked 1 1/2 miles to visit this pub and were definitely not disappointed. Fantastic food, service and atmosphere, with gorgeous country views.

This pub was recommended to my boyfriend and I by the hotel we were staying at. The lady serving us was very friendly and welcoming, and food/drink prices were very affordable. There were a wide variety of dishes available which catered to different dietary requirements; you were also able to pick from a selection of sides, which I thought was great as your meal felt more customisable. Our food arrived piping hot and tasted absolutely beautiful, will definitely be returning here if we’re ever in the area again!

Called on spec for lunch having recently bought a house in the area. Lovely welcome for both people and dogs. Only had sandwiches but very nice, fresh bread and the salad on the side was good as well. Special mention for the chips obviously fresh and not reheated. We will definitely return and try a full meal next time. Prices very reasonable as well.

Just returned from a superb Saturday lunch, at this fantastic, friendly pub. Four adults and two dogs, we could not have been made more welcome, sat by the roaring log fire, soaking up the atmosphere of this wonderful country pub. We all enjoyed the deliciously, decadent Steak and Stilton pie, served with proper chips/roast potatoes and fresh vegetables. Four empty plates later and feeling rather full, we somehow managed to find a bit of room to share two of the very tempting desserts. Diet starts next week!We came across this pub by chance, as we are only visiting the area for a long weekend. So happy to have found The Stables and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. X

I Have visited this lovely cozy pub in the evenings with the family. Totally Blown away by the quality of the homemade food and superb drinks. Very Friendly Staff.

I live within 20mins but have only just heard about this wonderful place. It's rustic with hearty food, great beer and a wonderful woodstove burning bright. Bit disappointed there was no really good cider: need a scrumpy type one here or at least a Westons' Old Rosie. However, we were warmly welcomed on a quiet Monday evening and the food was very well cooked. Great atmosphere. It also has rooms and a Shepherds Hut...

We were staying local and had the Stables Inn recommended ...... good food, good beer and warm company ..... well there was no draught beer at all ..... just worthingtons .... no real beer. The choice of meals was slightly limited, but when my Steak Pie came is was hot and wholesome .... so thumbs up for that. The overall atmosphere was cosy, but the seating hard!Overall, disappointing ...... just to compare we went to the Brigand Inn on the road to Barmouth ..... same price for a meal and beer ..... but what difference! Sorry Stables Inn you are going to have to up your game?

We recently enjoyed a delicious meal, freshly cooked and definitely worth a visit. A lovely old non spoilt local pub, a rare find these days!

Found this pub from a google search near to our bed and breakfast, it promised good fresh British grub and it was everything we needed on a wet autumnal evening. The beer choices were good, the service prompt and efficient and the atmosphere was that of a locals local where we were made to feel welcome and at home. The food was tasty, hot and the portion sizes were plentiful. The owner and his daughter were great hosts. Keep up the good work.

I went to the Stables Inn last Thursday evening together with my Wife Lucy and had a lovely meal in a very relaxed atmosphere.

As we put our noses through the beautiful old door of the Stables we knew we’d found a gem! This is how pubs should be. It’s small - filled with lovely guests - who are using a pub for chat and a drink - and on our second visit to listen to the musicians playing folk songs - for all the world - straight from central casting!

Lovely country pub, food was excellent, well worth the 45 minute walk there and back to where we were staying. The lady who worked the bar, serving and cooking the food was lovely, she even offered us a lift to the hotel we were staying at. Highly recommend Stables Inn

Came here for dinner after a long walk, looking forward to good pub grub.

I visited with my wife for supper after a wintry walk on the Stiperstones ridge. We were immediately made to feel very welcome, and soon placed our food order, despite it being rather early. The steak and stilton pie was excellent; a generous portion with loads of flavour. My wife enjoyed her halloumi burger with grilled veg. A group of local hunters provided a lively atmosphere as they warmed up after a cold afternoon on the moor.

We stayed here last minute in the shephards hut and it was fantastic... owner and the food was amazing. Lovely friendly little pub with all you need. The hut was warm and cosy with ur own shower room. Will defo be staying again. Thank you

We were a bit lost and by luck stumbled across this remote 17th century pub in the middle of the Shropshire hills ... you could say in the middle of nowhere. It was Sunday lunchtime and we were getting hungry. Two miles up an unlikely farm lane we found this pub. Just beautiful. Best pub meal I've had for years - proper home cooked tasty food and superb local ales. My friends had the beef lasagna and rack of lamb and I had the steak and stilton pie. We all agreed the food was delicious. These are the kind of pubs we need to keep open. Well worth a detour to find this gem. Doug.

We had a lovely meal here on a Friday evening. We hadn't booked and were met with warm hospitality from the Stables Inn team. We really enjoyed the beer, cider and a great 2-course meal for a very reasonable price. We had pate & garlic prawns followed by Steak & Stilton pie and Gammon in Stilton sauce. DELICIOUS! A proper country pub which comes highly recommended.

Small, traditional pub with a roaring wood fire. Good beer at reasonable prices and a welcoming atmosphere.

What a find! We stayed in the shepherds hut at the rear of The Stables Inn. It had everything you needed for a weekend to get a way from it all. The log burner made it nice and cosy, tea and coffee, own private shower, and fantastic views.

Wow what a lovely little pub, friendly staff, amazing food and views, we went in today after reading reviews on trip advisor so glad we did, we weren't disappointed, 3 of us had the chicken and parma ham, one had the steak pie, and we all had puddings, all fantastic and home made, such good value for money just over £80 for 4 mains 4 puds and 6 drinks, would definitely recommend this pub if your in the area
