Tea on the Square in Shropshire

Tea and scones were beautiful, service perfect and even gave our dog a sausage. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the beautiful village

We popped in for a quick breakfast while we were looking around the beautiful little town. First surprise to greet us was the fantastic hand painted mural on the walls of the town and the friendly atmosphere. The next surprise was the well presented breakfast cooked to perfection (to my liking at least). Real bread, meaty sausages, egg, bacon, beans and ash browns. Washed down with a great tasting coffee. I will be back.

We were turned away with our small well behaved dog because as we walked in two badly behaved dogs started snarling and barking so we had to go back out into the pouring rain

Beautiful pot of Earl Gray and a choice of gluten free cake. I had the carrot cake, which was lovely. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.

Went for lunch with friends. Cafe was busy, but we got a table. Staff were very friendly (and seemed to know most of the people in there who were obviously returning locals - always a good sign!). Service was friendly and fast. Food was very good - we had scrambled egg and mushrooms on toast, Early Grey tea etc... Excellent!

On visiting the town we walked into Tea on the Square, and saw that a table had become free with no clear reservation sign. Before we both even had the chance to sit down, we were shouted at from a waitress across the café, who said that the table was reserved and that we couldn't sit there as the table was reserved - infront of a full café mind! Another table offered for us to sit at theirs but due to the sheer lack of professionalism shown by the staff member, we politely declined and went elsewhere. Appreciate when times are busy and stressful but there are ways of speaking to potential customers and an apology wouldn't go a miss. Won't be visiting here again due to this. There are a small number of other cafés in the town with a much more pleasant and welcoming environment.

Called in for lunch with my family and to be honest the prices are expensive for the food received. £10.95 for 2 small sausages a few chips one egg and one round of bread and butter. Not what you expect to pay in a small cafe with a limited menu as this was. I don’t mind paying for good food but i would label this as staff canteen food at London restaurant prices. Would not recommend.

We popped in for elevensies. The tea loaf was delicious, as were the lemon drizzle cake and the coffee cake. Delicious tea and latte. The staff were lovely. This is a beautiful tea shop.

We were welcomed by a 'We're only serving coffee and cakes'. It was 3.30 in the afternoon Easter Saturday and that was fine, it was all we wanted but a more polite welcome would have been better! I asked, as an allergy sufferer what I could have but there was no option available to me, so I had just tea. As a cook in a cafe myself I bend over backwards to make sure I have options available for gluten, egg, dairy, nut, vegan etc dietary requirements. As an allergy sufferer I know how difficult it is to eat out and not feel left out and it's not a pleasant experience! Another couple came in shortly before 4 and were rudely turned away. It really was a, it's late in the day, I want to go home and want everyone to leave attitude by who I assume was the manager. The girl that served us was pleasant. Suffice to say, we wish we'd gone somewhere else and on this occasion made a really bad choice.

Soup of the day fantastic as was chilli con carne. Tea great. Hot chocolate also great. Dog welcomed. Staff brilliant.

Warm and friendly with good food and the best coffee in Much Wenlock. A meeting place for locals and popular with tourists. There is always a warm welcome.

Welcoming staff with a friendly service. We stopped for a quick lunch - the food is fairly standard fare (toasties, baked potatoes, sandwiches etc) but tasty, and we had no complaints at all.

We had a lovely lunch here and then later on also a cake. Delicious food and the staff were lovely. Like the warm setting itself too.

We are here on holiday and popped in today for a coffee and cake. The staff were so kind and friendly and the place was cosy and comfortable. It was very busy so it’s obviously a popular spot. Would highly recommend the lemon drizzle too! Yum! Thanks for being so welcoming!

We visited today on our way home through Shropshire . We both had toasted sandwiches. Having read a couple of previous reviews which were rather on the negative side I have to say we would completely disagree. The toasted sandwiches were £8.45 and came with a lovely fresh salad ,homemade coleslaw and crisps. We chose ham,cheese and tomato for our fillings and they certainly don’t scrimp on the fillings. They oozed with cheese and had plenty of ham and tomato. We both have healthy appetites and it was plenty for us. The staff are super friendly and can’t do enough for you and they even made our dog really welcome too. We were too full for cakes but we overheard all the customers in the tea room comment on their beautiful meals,snacks and cakes.if we come to Much Wenlock again we will definitely come back.

An earlier review stated that toasted cheese sandwich was £5.95 not anymore it’s now £8.45 an increase of over 40%. Yes I know times have been difficult in this sector but it’s currently very difficult for people with rising energy costs. I declined to have one and bought a sausage sandwich for £5.50. I think that the owners need to review their prices as I won’t be spending £8.45 for cheese on toast.

Tea and cakes lovely but as we entered about 3,15 a lady sat at a table eating her lunch and said ‘Only drinks and cakes now’ then ignored us. I think, ‘take a seat and we will be with you in a minute’ might have...

We came here on our way home from our Shropshire holiday and were passing through. We had a perfectly cooked full English breakfast in a lovely friendly cafe. Definitely worth a visit.

A friend and ate a lovely cheese and ham toastie here yesterday, but i cant believe we were charged £10.55 each for that a pot of tea, making £ 21..10 in all. As we had only been given a card receipt not a full one,...

Lovely staff and the best coffee cake I’ve had for ages! What a great way to round off our first visit to Much Wenlock!

Delicious double egg and chips ! Ploughman's highly recommended too ! Very reasonable on price, will definitely return when next in the area !

Thank you for a great afternoon tea fantastic food at a great price will certainly use again great to take out or eat in

Limited space, so tables quite close together; maybe the reason staff stay in the kitchen. Nothing particularly outstanding, coffee was a good taste, the special loaf cake was rather expensive. Special board is written on a mirror, with no prices…..beware! So underwhelming unfortunately

In this beautiful village we were lucky to choose this hidden gem. Great service, lovely atmosphere - loved the murals - and very good tea/coffee and cake. A very pleasant hour spent.

Excellent hot, hot chocolate and hot coffee. Lovely atmosphere and decor. Friendly service and very clean. Thank you.

A big thanks to Joe and the team for a fantastic afternoon tea great food and well eaten thank you all the food is great and friendly staff great service

This was a much appreciated lunch, all was very good. The young lady, Abby, who served us on the 28th was outstandingly professional but very personable and made it a very pleasing visit. Ably supported by the young blonde girl. It was good that we...

Sat in the garden by the butterfly bush in full sunshine. Delicious thick creamy milkshakes were a real treat. DIdnt try any of the cakes but they looked delicious and other customers seemed delighted.

Tea house , typical of all coffee shops across the country. Same cakes, good coffee and tea but mundane. They did tea loaf though which was very nice but don’t offer butter, the nation needs to live longer.

Limited table, but right in the middle of town. Good service and good selection of fresh cakes, plus normal offerings.

Had afternoon tea with work/friends yesterday, it’s a beautiful little tea shop, the owner was very welcoming and friendly, the food was perfect and the cake is delicious, they can’t do enough for you, jug of water as you arrive and replenished through the afternoon,...

Lovely little tea room. Couldn't get in at first attempt, as all the tables were taken. Went for a 10 minute walk then tried again - table free! We had tea, coffee and carrot cake - beautifully moist with nuts and fruit. Friendly service and...

Stopped for coffee and cake ... coffee ok but the cake (carrot and lemon drizzle) was small and underwhelming. Not sure it was handmade.

The food was very good. Gorgeous home made quiche, cakes and baked potatoes where lovely too. Friendly staff and good coffee. COVID measures well thought out with lots of cleaning in between customers.

This is the second time we have been to this tea shop. The food is excellent quality and plenty of it too. The owners are very knowledgeable about allergies and what would suit people with dietary needs. Lovely menu. Felt very safe here, all the...

Having visited the Priory ruins, we came across this tearoom on the square. We had a cream tea which included warm scones, jam & clotted cream. The tearoom overlooks the square and the walls are internally painted with a drawing of the square. The only...

Called for brunch after a drive through the Shropshire countryside. Quaint interior, not too many tables. Nice menu with good choice. Had a panini with flat white coffee. Both very good and prices reasonable. Quirky waitress but service good. Worth a visit

Very nice warm welcome late afternoon Delicious victoria sponge cake and Lemon drizzle cake all home made nice cup of tea also. Very friendly waitress nice ambience Clean and tidy. Will definitely visit again in the near future. All for £13.80 great value.

Had a great cappuccino here. Marvelous carrot cake packed with walnuts and sultanas and lovely friendly service. We noticed that they also serve meals at lunchtime so may well return to try.

We came here last year, just after Christmas as our usual place was closed, for their new year break . I found the place instantly to lack atmosphere and have that quaint feeling. The tables and chairs are all in one room , with no...

Absolutely delicious food. I ordered tea and carrot cake and hubby had a toasted sandwich, jam and cream scone and cappuccino. When it all arrived there was so much that we shared the toastie before tucking into our scrummy cakes. My carrot cake was a...

very clean & friendly staff BLT sarnie nice BUT needed to be thicker bread also for the toast was like eating cardboard it was do thin so suggest changing to thicker bread.

Had plotted a 70 mile road ride so looked for a cafe half way to refuel and this one seemed to have good reviews. Food was delicious, staff were extremely friendly. Our toasted sandwiches came with salad and coleslaw but no cutlery. The only cutlery...

Visited the local area and found this cafe to be very inviting. Staff extremely friendly service great, tea loaf was delicious. Would definitely recommend a visit if in the area.

We were staying in Much Wenlock and visited this tearoom on a number of occasions during our week. Food is lovely, staff are great too and it’s Dog Friendly. On the morning we were leaving we had a lovely breakfast and our dog received a...

We recieved an enjoyable meal from very friendly staff. Our two biggest concerns was that the meals could have been cheaper, and using the toilet ment going through the entire kitchen.

This is a lovely little cafe! Popped in for a hot chocolate and a cake. Friendly staff and nice cakes

Met relations from Bristol who are holidaying in Shropshire and found it great.Prompt and courteous service and a proper pot of tea.Tea Cakes top notch and although the tiny bathroom needs an update,it was very clean.

This is one of the tearooms taking part in the Shropshire cream tea competition and I would say it has a good chance of winning. Good sultana scones with damson jam plus cream if desired. Friendly service and interesting wall art.

Good coffee, friendly, efficient service, great location in a lovely town. Trip Advisor comes up trumps again

We had lunch there and the Poached eggs on toast were gorgeous, we were lucky to have double yolkers! The cakes all looked scrumptious.

On entry one is immediately struck by the painted walls which denote Much Wenlock. We were served very quickly and the carrot and ginger soup was most enjoyable. My friends enjoyed the toasted sandwiches which were served with a small salad and crisps. The only...

We were looking for somewhere for breakfast and having been turned away from other cafe’s with our dog we were delighted to be welcomed at Tea on the Square but Sue. We ordered two Olympic Breakfasts and two tea’s. The food was delicious and served...

Friendly and staff get to know you well. Cakes are home made and there are usually several gluten free options that are delicious.

Lovely welcome. Pleasant staff. Great tasty home made food. Excellent cakes to follow. Nice traditional eclectic decor. Highly recommended.

Our ‘Coffee Girls’ club are regular (weekly) visitors to Jo and Sue’s super café. Delicious coffee and lunches with lots of homemade goodies make it one of our favourite day time spots to meet. I recently took our grandsons for lunch, which went down a...

Highly recommend this gem of a tea room serving the most delicious home made food . The tea room was cosy and a beautiful mural decorated the walls, staff were friendly and helpful . We shared soup ( fennel seed and vegetable) and a toastie...

By far the best tearoom we visited during a week long holiday in Shropshire! Not pretentious (Like Hay-on-Wye!!!) with fabulous homemade food and awesome coffee. Highly recommended!

We made this our first port of call after arriving in the town. We loved the quirky décor and the waitress who took our order was very friendly and accommodating. One of our group needs gluten free bread and they were able to supply a...

We are always looking for places that are dog friendly when on our travels. And this one has to be one of the best we have come across for some time. It's a great tea room and more , great menu with lots of home...

Tasty and filling soup,crispy chips and my husband's toastie was the best he'd ever had he said! Homemade cake delicious, as are the warm scones served with jam and cream. Friendly efficient staff, quick service in a full,busy tea rooms.

Lovely staff. GREAT CAKE and good tea. Not much more to say than you wont go wrong stopping here for a cuppa

We came here after walking Wenlock Edge and visiting the Priory. Daily baked good selection of delicious cakes and very good coffee served by cheerful pleasant staff - what more could you want! Perfect!

Been here 3 or 4 times. The tea is lovely!! Situated in a great part of the little town. A bit expensive but you get what you pay for. Friendly staff. Nice decor...

Stopped here for lunch. Just lovely. Super home baked cakes, sandwiches made to order and good selection of cold drinks. Staff very friendly and kind. Very interesting mural painted round the walls to reflect buildings in the village. Lovely place.

We visited Much Wenlock whilst on a short break, staying at the wonderful Fox Inn who recommended Tea on the Square. It didn't disappoint. We ordered chicken and bacon sandwiches and coffee, these were made fresh and brought to us quickly, the granary bread was...

Met friends for a light lunch. Reasonable choice on menu and food and service were good. Two reasons that this was not a 5 rating - Firstly, I ordered a ploughman’s lunch which consisted of two pieces of cheddar cheese, a chunk of bread, chutney...

We were looking for a café serving breakfast on a bank holiday Monday and were very happy to find Tea on the Square open and serving breakfast. The breakfast was excellent - my husband says the sausages were the best he had ever tasted! Service...

This a very traditional tearoom. The food and service are excellent. Delicious sausage butty for my husband and gorgeous cream and jam scone for me. The only thing I would change is the decor, bit too fussy and twee for my taste, but each to...

Popped in for a break during a long drive and found this lovely cafe. Really nice inside with good coffee and cake.

Called for tea and cake, building is really full of character. Old world furnishings and giant mural style painting of Much Wenlock on the walls. Home made cakes and scones very reasonable prices and excellent quality. For me gluten free lemon drizzle cake best ever....

My husband and I stopped here for lunch. The tea shop was very clean and not a plastic chair or table to be seen.....good old fashioned wooden ones instead! Service was excellent and our drinks...tea and hot chocolate were lovely. We ordered the split pea...

good service, reasonable price, friendly, good food. Was relatively busy but served quickly and efficiently

Lovely tearoom, have been here once before and it’s just as good as before; loved the homemade tea loaf; friendly service

Coffee served in china cups and delicious moist tea loaf. Small and quaint little tea room. Good service.

We popped in for lunch. Loved the painting on the two walls of the High Street in Old England and the fairy lights too. Small cage but a big welcome. Lovely Jacket crisp not soggy and loved the ample side salad. Hubby had special of...

This is a very nice little cafe. Small welcoming place with some delicious cakes . Not at all good for the waistline. I think they are all home made. Good place to rest the legs and have a snack.

We stopped in for a quick snack. We both had tasty bowls of winter vegetable soup with a chunk of bread and butter. Decent value. Warm, genuine service. And dog friendly too. Great if you're after simple fare in an unpretentious, comfortable little venue.

Our first visit to this pretty little town was enhanced by a generous sized pot of tea and big chunk of lovely fresh moist home made cake at Tea on the Square. There were plenty of lovely options on the menus as well as some...

Nice little tea room in Much Wenlock with a good range of drinks and nice cakes (and other food) as well as friendly staff. The only downside is that it is quite small to if it is busy you may not be able to get...

Lovely soup of the day with a chunk of fresh bread, coffee and then wonderful moist homemade coffee cake. All lovely.

We popped in for a quick coffee whilst visiting Much Wenlock and happened upon this place by chance. The coffee was served very quickly by friendly staff and the whole atmosphere was one of welcome. Other customers were equally friendly and we felt utterly spoilt...

Wonderful staff, particularly Sue who saw us waiting outside and opened early for us;) The full English breakfast is excellent, with locally sourced products. Homemade food & tasty cakes, with the decor that suits this very quaint old English village. Worth a visit for this...

This is a typical small tea room, with nice-looking homemade cakes and the sort of menu one would expect. Our lunch was freshly prepared and tasty. A little bit expensive for what it was, but not extortionate. Glad to see that it's dog-friendly.

We stopped here for a quick snack. My wife has to eat gluten free - this can be difficult as we found in the first café we tried. No trouble here - gluten free bread was available and many items on the menu were gluten...

Our first visit to Much Wenlock today, and we had a late lunch here, it was great, no complaints what so ever!

Good prices nice food and lovely staff. Artistic decor coffee a little bitter for my taste.would come again.

Nice tea shop with unusual but attractive decor. The homemade cakes are delicious and come in huge slices.

This is a little gem of a place. The food is always freshly cooked. The staff are friendly and always serve with a smile. Definitely recommend

Great service and great cake! Portion enormous (!) but we still ate it all! Home made cakes, plenty of choice in a relaxed tea room with a style that matches. Would recommend this tea room rather than the Abbey tea room - provides hot meals...

Had the pea & broad bean soup which was great and a chunk of bread. Good friendly place and quick service. Right in the centre of the historic town.

We visited for a late snack lunch after a 8 mile walk. It was clean and painted with an interesting mural with fairy lights outlining the skyline. Our orders were efficiently taken and quickly delivered. My ploughmans had 2 enormous chunks of cheese and a...

Very good, fast efficient service with a smile. Would have preferred loose leaf tea, however the tea bag was of a higher quality. Had a nice piece of cake to go with it

This is a wonderful tea rooms that does breakfast. Service was very friendly and efficient. Food was locally sourced product. Dogs were very welcome.

Popped in for a bite to eat and a cupper. The service was quick and friendly. Great bacon sandwich and a good cup of tea.

We enjoyed a good breakfast here today, but our grandson was a little disappointed as the eggs he ordered 2 eggs on toast were not runny, mine were perfect. The earl grey tea with lemon was lovely, both me and hubby had this, Harry had...
