Summerhouse in Shropshire

Been here a few times now and cannot fault it . fresh home made food , great service from start to finish and always with a smile . The changes that have been made in the last year to both the inside and outside make it a wonderful place to visit . we will be back again .

We visited The Summerhouse today to celebrate my mom & dad’s retirement. The service & food was 10/10. The food was piping hot, just how we like it! The desserts were delicious too. We will certainly be returning to this lovely restaurant. Thank you for a great meal!

Great menu ,lovely staff, friendly atmospher

Always a great experience. They sure know how to cook a steak

Had a half chicken meal from this eatery and it was utterly unsatisfactory. A true insult to both my palate and my wallet. The taste and texture were as if it were simply reheated in the microwave before being served. Gelatine stuff being present in between the skin and chicken which was piping hot and gooey, counteracting the chicken and skin were lukewarm for a brief period.

Great and varied food menu (and very tasty) plus the bonus of 4 hand pull ales (2 from Titanic brewery!) Will definitely be back - thank you 👌

Lovely carvery & friendly atmosphere

Dog friendly will let motorhomes stay for a small cost.

Loved every minute...with my mom,partner,2 cousins and my aunty...food was amazing..thankyou.. Louise jukes

Beautiful place to drink & Dine, we have been a handful of times and find the staff to be very welcoming & Kind, food has always been great. I am so impressed to see such a wide selection of gluten free food! You can clearly see this has been well thought out, your ability to include everyone and offer a variety of choices to those with dietary restrictions or requirements is what keeps me coming back & is the very reason I will always recommend people to come here. You have something truly great here! Many thanks for all the wonderful memories we've had here! See you soon, Emily

Have to say, this is one of the best carvery Sunday roasts we’ve had in quite a while. It was busy, but having booked ahead we had a table ready for us. Great selection of meats, veggies & potatoes, service is very friendly, not rushed, and one waitress even took the time to ask how everything was. Definitely be on our must visit list next time we’re in the area - all in a fab country setting

Lovely place, Excellent staff made us very welcome, food very good. Like that there is a smaller portion option.

Had a delicious meal with my husband on Wed 14th Aug the bar staff and waitresses were very efficient smiley and very polite. Compliments to the chef. Well done! We will be visiting again soon Kind Regards Suzanne xx

Great value, good quality lunchtime deals Good beer, attentive service What's not to like

Great new owners. All home made food will definitely be going back.

Having arrived early a lovely staff member politely told us they weren't open till 12.00. Was served by lovely pleasant staff nothing too much trouble food good atmosphere even mid week Brill Liane

Always friendly,helpful,food good,..enjoyable experience.👏

Came for a carvery with my sister today as its always been my favourite place for a carvery i dont live local i travel from surrey so whenever i come over i always come here but wow what a disappointment the food was bland ! roasties were like stones cauliflower was cold gravy was like water only thing i enjoyed was the beef ! The staff were frendly ! The outside looks amazing but the carvery is a definite no no ! Safe to say i wont be returning any tme soon for a carvery !

Been a while since I was last here & never really had any complaints but must admit they have really done a nice job inside & especially outside (lovely beer garden) it was lunchtime midweek when we visited & not overly busy, when we ordered our food we were told there was about a 30 minute wait, no problem with that at all, food turned up 20-30 minutes after we ordered & was lovely all the staff were very friendly & welcoming, will definitely be calling in again 🌞

Absolute gem of a place. The staff are all friendly, inside is spotless and outside is stunning. Gutted we haven't tried here before but definitely not our last visit

The food was fine it was the chef we was only having joke he took it the wrong way

Very clean and friendly place the food was excellent we will be back soon

First time visiting this establishment. Lovely atmosphere, the staff very welcoming. The vegetable lasagne and three bean chilli were outstanding. I am looking forward to dropping in again sometime in the future.

We called in yesterday evening last minute for a bite to eat. Food was great, service was fantastic and the pub was clean etc We sat outside to eat which was a delight. The garden is beautifully done with all the pretty lighting. We will definitely be coming back!

The food was excellent, and the kindness when my mom had a fall as we arrived was above and beyond, thank you.

Service doesnt even deserve a 1. Terrible experience, food average. How can you burn nachos 🤣. Long waits on food and no one in control. Many walked out, many had refund as they didnt want to wait for 3 hours after ordering after being told 50 minute wait. Terrible. To clarify after the response, 2 customers walked out, 2 customers demanded a refund, 1 customer was very vocal how poor your service was. 2 barmaids were overhead complaining that the customer was taking the pee asking for a refund on his drinks too. Sometimes it is ok to admit poor service rather than make out the review is wrong. To note prior to this visit we had a great meal. Last night was awful, 50 minutes i can expect thats ok, but you got it wrong last night, with 3 poor barmaids taking the brunt of it.

15/07/2024 - update We came to the pub as a party of 13 and booked in advance.We came to celebrate my nephews 19th Birthday.We have been regulars here for years and often come as a large party, booking in advance and never had these issues before.The pub wasnt busy there was a few small parties who all got their meals quickly including pudding before we got ours.Today we ordered our meals and everything seemed to be okay. We ordered a round of drinks whilst we waited. 50 minutes went by and finally our 2 childrens meals came out however my son (who has the same thing every time due to his autism and eating disorder) only got half his meal which really upset him - he order chicken goujons with chips and halloumi fries. He has to eat it all together due to his eating difficulties.We managed to convince him to eat what he had considering how long he had waited. We waited thinking our meals would arrive shortly after but they still were a while longer and they slowly came out bit by bit.My garlic bread (i had lasagne after being told there was no macaroni and cheese) fell on the floor by the waitress however she quickly got it replaced.My dads meal (chilli) had clearly been sat on a hot plate as it was burnt to the bottom of the dish. The chef forgot the halloumi fries. The waitress quickly sorted these out.When another waitress (who we think was the supervisor - the other staff couldnt tell us who was in charge that night) came to ask how our meal was we said we werent happy with the wait given how empty the pub was and we have had better faster service at busier times, She got very defensive with us. My dad tried to show her the burnt bowl.It was taken by the younger waitress and the supervisor walked off with it.No apology nothing.We ordered a 2nd round of drinks. When she came back to clear the table to supervisor was rude. We tried to talk to her about the service etc and again got very defensive. She said there was only 1 chef on and it was our fault because we all ordered different things. Its never been a problem before when we have come with much larger parties. if the chef wasnt up to it knowing there was a large party they shouldnt have accepted the booking. Needless to say it got heated and we left. We were going to order desserts. The young waitress was clearly upset by what had happened and she was nothing short of wonderful. Sadly the supervisor was trying to shift the blame onto everyone else and when told she was rude she became even more defensive. If we had been given a limited menu we would have understood but we have always ordered from the normal menu and it has never been a problem. We where going to come back as a large party for my sons 9th birthday on thursday but shall look elsewhere. we visited today as a party of 8. I was able to book a table in advance. my family are regular visitors and we decided to bring my husbands family.we haven't been since the new management but I have to say we were really impressed. the staff were friendly. they supported one another and worked well as a team. we had a large food and drinks orders. they catered for my allergies. nothing was too much. my son has autism and eating difficulties. staff were able to make the accommodations to his meal. eating out for him is extremely difficult but he loves the summer house and so it was wonderful we could go out and eat as this is not normally something we can do often. they adapted his meal and bought it out with the starters so he wasn't waiting. the kids ate free which was a bonus! the food was 5*. the halloumi fries are amazing.my son devoured his and his sisters portion.the pie looked delicious. previously I had not been able to eat the puddings but now I can! the apple crumble was yummy. the children loved their sundaes. the outside area is looking really lovely and is going to be a great addition once the weather improves.overall we are extremely happy with the quality and service and left very happy full customers!we will be back!

Excellent!!!! Food was delicious 😋 Staff were friendly and service was spot on...well done to you all

13 of us visited this evening for my grandsons birthday.We have been customers of the summer house for 17 years and have never had an issue in the past.We ordered our food and had to wait nearly an hour for it to arrive bearing in mind it was a Monday evening.It was OK except for a chili that had obviously been cooked and placed on a hotplate to keep warm consequently it had burned onto the dish.When the staff asked if everything was OK we told them we weren't happy about the chili and also the long wait.The waitress just turned and walked away no apology just attitude to be honest they all had dreadful attitude issues we were told there is only one chef so there would be a wait.The pub wasn't busy and there was no manager on site.we will not be returning to the summer house which is sad really as we have always had excellent service in the past

Had a fantastic 70th wedding anniversary party, staff we excellent, food was superb everyone had a great time at a great location, highly recommended

Staff, service, atmosphere, decor, just superb. If the weather is sunny and warm, will be awesome to grab a drink. Food though, really poor. Had basic fish and chips. It arrived within 15 minutes of ordering and was the very description of fried food - the fish and chips look like they had been burnt to a crisp. The mushy peas were the best bit believe it or not. The batter was absolutely tasteless too, basically had overcooked dry fish and chips delivered to us. I had to use so much salt and vinegar to give it some flavour- so dry due to burning the food. I did eat the actual fish and left the batter. Left most of the chips. Didn't complain as we were hungry, was partly edible and was a lovely day. The staff were also so great I didn't feel like causing a scene for them. I noted the same issue with burnt food including chips on the next table - their faces said it all, it actually went silent for a while - I think they were really disappointed too. If they can sort the food, what a place especially as its not cheap food too - I can prepare much better myself at home which is saying something.

Visted Sunday beautiful food carvery was excellent very friendly staff and a lovely beer garden will be going back

Always served good food and now the pub has had a makeover even better !! Well done to all concerned.

The Summer House Is 5 Star + All Round Love Visiting Here The Staff Are Fantastic Every Time We Go Food Is Always Delicious Lovely Atmosphere Well Done To You All X

Super friendly place! We visited the summerhouse for a carvery with our 2 children (8,2), I was a bit put off at first with how nice the outside and inside were, it looked a bit too 'posh' to be taking our energetic 2 year old and we didn't want to annoy anyone, However the atmosphere was lovely and it felt very family friendly, the staff were amazing and welcoming. We chatted with a few tables around us too. The carvery was AMAZING and one of the best ones we've had! My only suggestion would be adding a smaller carvery plate for littler ones who don't eat as much! Definitely our go to place for a carvery now!!! Thank you all x

Called in today for lunch sat in their gorgeous garden, excellent food and service and will definitely be a regular at The Summerhouse.🤗

We had a great time bank holiday weekend. The beer garden is stunning, well thought out, relaxing vibes and comfy chairs. Great live music and the food was delicious and reasonably priced (as were the drinks). Great service, the girls were all so lovely and friendly. Will definitely be going back to make use of the garden during the summer months.

Great place to eat, highly recommended.

Hanging kebab, absolutely gorgeous. My new favourite. Can't beat the Summer House.

So many improvements since new management, with staff being super friendly, welcoming and with good customer service. We have been a few times and have enjoyed the visits. My partner has enjoyed all his meals. I wanted to try something different off the special board, but I wasn’t able too, as on that occasion you didn’t have a vegetarian option in the board. I ended up having the vegetarian lasagne, which I’ve had so many times over. The price is quite high, for what it is, and I don’t feel like I’m getting good value for money. I would love to see this meal improve, and be worth the meal price, as currently it’s not offering very much in the way of vegetables, in the vegetarian lasagne. If it improves, then I will find it more viable at the price it’s on for, to re order. I don’t want the macaroni cheese, as that’s just even more cheese. Please consider offering a few good options for meals for us vegetarians.

Very good value for money and a good pint of beer

Food excellent value for money and service great . Really friendly feel all in all I would highly recommend a visit .

Third carvery at the Summerhouse for us in the last 2 months. Overall not too bad, vegetables cooked to my taste, ie not too soggy or too crisp. Bit stingy on the meat today though, not even a full slice of ham on my plate plus a few crumbs of pork. After I had finished I spoke to a member of staff who said I should have asked for more meat Anyway too late for today so I'll see next time. Compare a 12oz gammon meal on their menu for a few pounds more, that may be my choice next time.

Some of the food was cold and I found the dessert was a bit expensive for what it was x

Always like coming here for a catch up with my mates. Great food and service.

Wonderful experience great food and excellent service who went above and beyond

Fantastic night out with my friends eating great pub grub!! Staff could not do enough and the food came out promptly. I can recommend the Hunters chicken, it was delicious 🤩

Celebrated my wife's 50th birthday last night and the food, service, atmosphere and value for money was really good. Highly recommended a visit here. Of note, the specials are popular and limited, so go early if that's what you want to eat!

New owners. Excellent food at very reasonable prices. I was very impressed with the service here. The waitress service was attentive, warm and welcoming and was very commendable. The manager was lovely, and was happy to chat. I would not hesitate to go here again and again. A big thumbs up from me 👍

Went with partner and friends for Sunday carvery absolutely brilliant all said we would definitely return 10/10

1st visit today . Great service ,tasty food .pleased to see a light bite section on the menu . We haven't eaten out in years due to the large portions .this is a must visit or 2 or 3 again.such a good selection of food. Yummy 😋

Not been to the Summerhouse before and I can honestly say we will be back. Amazing food. Amazing Staff. Amazing atmosphere. Will be back again 👍🏻👍🏻

We had a table of 16 to celebrate a 50th birthday and we have absolutely no complaints at all. The service was brilliant, we were all impressed at how the food was all served to us all at the same time. Not one of us had a complaint about the food all was served hot. Brilliant service and very friendly staff who couldn't have done any more for us. Will definitely be returning

Food was very nice and cooked to order nice and hot, service was incredible, Danielle and Rachel looked after me well

It's my favourite place for a Sunday carvery.

Blud my food was wrong 3 times. I’m allergic to tomatoes and there was tomatoes on my burger when I specifically asked for none. The waitress was very kind and even wrote it down but the chefs still got it wrong. On the replacement dish, they brought out a child’s plate, still a burger but not what I ordered. On the third, I had a correct burger except no lettuce, I just ate it at that point because I was hungry. Bless the waitresses hearts though they were nice and kept saying sorry and paid it back except the drinks.

Lovely atmosphere, great food and they allow dogs to join you 🥰

Great Place And Meal was Excellent Value was goid However feel over priced by approx £ 5 per meal v others

Fantastic mixed grill piping hot lots of it staff are so friendly and helpful, you will go along way to beat this place.

Had lunch here the other day. When l walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and friendly. Beautifully presented. Food was amazing and very fast. The staff were smiling and attentive and eager to please. Rachel one of the bar staff couldn’t do enough. Always smiling and accommodating. That’s customer service. I’ll definitely be back with family and friends.

Absolutely beautiful lunchtime meal, well done chef. The pub was warm, welcoming, with comfortable surroundings. The staff were friendly, helpful and very attentive - well done Rach and Co. Congratulations Summerhouse 🥳😊

Very good experience, very much improved will definitely be coming back

Really enjoyed the meal and the service was great, thank you so much!

First time visit and wont be the last. Luvly carvery with plenty of choice and very good value. My only very small gripe was, the sprouts were a little hard for me but that is subjective as i like them very soft and most seem to like them al dente. Overall a luvly meal and great value for money in a beautliful country pub with luvly staff.

Yummy girls lunch today at Summerhouse. Staff were lovely & so friendly. Lovely new blinds around all windows. Girls defo be back. Local girls looking at breakfast & carvery. Thanks Andy & staff once again.

3 stars on Google is classed as 'it's ok' and, in my opinion, that's all this place is. Carvery food is never exactly anything to write home about, in essence they're all just a slightly better school dinner, but my turkey was more fat and skin than edible meat, the roast potatoes were either dry and/or soggy and the Yorkshire's were similar to Aunt Bessie's to be honest. I imagine (and have read) the stuff on the standard menu is really good, but I can't say we'll be rushing back, if at all, to try it. For just under £60 we could have eaten at the Bentlands, had table service and a much better quality meal. Sorry! Edit to owners response: You can't have signs everywhere saying "leave us a review" and then when you get those reviews, leave glowing responses for five star, but leave salty (completely unprofessional) responses for 3 stars or less?

Excellent food. Can not fault anything. Lovely friendly staff.

My favourite place love going there great food 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

Great pub, lovely food and fair prices. Went here Sunday for a carvery and it was lovely, they offered four meats and a selection of veggies and potatoes! We will be going back for another Sunday lunch soon!

Went with my family for my Moms Birthday. I ordered the Turkey & Ham Pie from the special board which was very good. The pastry was perfect, there was a good amount of meat & a very lovely sauce. My Partner & my Mom both had Fish & Chips; sadly they were disappointed. The Fish itself was nice but unfortunately the Batter was terrible. Instead of being light & crispy it was soggy and chewy, a fact that several other customers also complained about. The Staff, particularly Alex were incredibly helpful, friendly & polite & offered them both free Dessert; which was very welcome. Really nice, cozy atmosphere & great friendly service.

I have had the pleasure of visiting with the new owners twice now and had wonderful experiences. The food was wonderful..... Even the salad was cut prettily (flower shapes etc) and tasted so fresh.... I had the hunters chicken which was breaded and was the nicest hunters chicken I've ever had 😍 all other meals looked tasty and my friend and my son's all said theirs tasted as good too 😊 second visit I attended a carol service (NHS choir) and character day with a visit from Santa and Mrs Claus..... It was such a wonderful and professionally executed experience. I had a steak pie on this occasion and it was so juicy and thick gravy inside.... All 4 meals were lovely X I would HIGHLY recommend a visit here. Wonderful staff and fabulous service and food..... Thank you to the owners, we will be back 😊 there wasn't an option to put hunters on the recommendations but it would be top of my list x

Great pub, convenient and always a warm welcome. Portions are big, and prices reasonable. Expect to pay around £10-12 for lasagna or similar main. Dog friendly too (in the bar), which is a bonus.

We booked a table for 2 today. So when we got there ordered our food and drinks no problem. It was only a matter of minutes when we realised we had been put in the Doggy Corner.We both like dogs and when a couple arrived with one we thought ok as long as its on a lead and no barking that fine. Then less than 3 minutes two more owners and theirs dogs arrived and all sat by us. The little corner now a bit smelly and crowded. We asked to be moved and went in the large room at the back as there was no where else left. The pub is lovely but the nicest seats were now a complete dog zone. We felt like outsiders and had to eat our meal in a room with no atmosphere as the dogs were in the nice cosy room. We paid for our meal and would of liked to have eaten with every body else in that pub that day. As far as i can see today the dogs had priorty and the paying guest did not. Well thats 2 paying guests who wont be visiting again Woof Woof wins

Just got back from here, the food was lovely and the staff were all very welcoming. I like that they bought the kids meals and deserts out before the adults. We'll be returning soon to try out the carvery. 👌

Great service and friendly team

Lovely meal this week served by the lovely Andy! It's a much more friendly atmosphere now, the rude and ignorant bar people have left. The takeover is definitely a positive move and well worth a visit 👍

Lovely calvery, slight hiccup with our meal but not to worry.

What a lovely place. It is very welcoming and great food. Very quiet for a Friday night.

Really enjoyed our visit.. looking forward to the next one.

We only popped in passing by for a drink , but love what the new management have done in such a short space of time ! So festive, warm and welcoming and the staff so attentive. Saw some meals being brought out and only wish we had been dining , but we will definitely be back to try soon .

Excellent food and served promptly. Bar service was a little slow. Clean environment. Friendly staff.

I was staying in the area for a weekend away with friends and came here for dinner Friday (mixed grill) and Sunday (carvery). The food both times was delicious, the carvery especially! Make sure you book in advance as it was busy. Got lots of meat of my choice and the vegetables selection was really good and really well seasoned. I am hoping we go away to this area again just so I can come to this pub again!

Love friendly welcome, great value food & love the Sunday carvery

Good food and choice with a nice atmosphere

New owners really friendly. Recommend the Mushroom Soup. Will be back

Lovely food, fabulous mushroom soup Free parking Will come back for Sunday carvery Staff very friendly

Had an incredible experience at Summer House! The food was really tasty!! I had the fish and chips and my husband has the steak and kidney pie and we were both very happy with our meals. Staff were really friendly too. We were served by Chris, attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about making our dining experience memorable. Kudos to the entire team for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Can't wait to return!

Food was really tasty, went there last week with some friends just for a meal and a chat up and had a really great night. we were served by chris made our dining experience truly enjoyable. The recommendations were spot-on, and the service was prompt. Will definitely be back for more great service from Chris!

A good revamp to a tired pub excellent food and service

The carvery was delicious with a good selection of meat and veg. The service was impeccable and I was made to feel very welcome by the front of house staff too

Carvery and service was amazing!

There were 6 of us and we all had different things but they arrived quickly and we’re hot and what we really liked was that what we asked for we got spot on and not extra salad on burgers (which the kids had). The cod was huge and crumble delicious. I didn’t pick up the bill so I don’t know the cost but I will be going again soon

Great, would definitely go again.

Great pub, great food and great company at an affordable price 👍🏻

Went there last Sunday first time for the carvery excellent can't wait to go again 👌xx

What a lovely warm and welcoming team in the summer house. Discovered the Manager Andy is new to the pub but I could see how hard Andy and Donna are working to make it a success. Drinks were great and food looks amazing. We booked a table of 14 for late December. Looking forward to it already

Fantastic place to come with family, staff lovely, friendly and welcoming feel to the place and in a beautiful location. Food was spot on (fresh, home cooked) and will be back again soon.

Super Sunday carvery. Always spot on

Best carvery around. Excellent food and brilliant staff. Thank you.

Great tasting food, that is excellent value and a friendly traditional atmosphere.
