The Bridge Inn in Shropshire

Excellent service food was very well cooked and tasted delicious. Generous portion sizes and added bonus of being dog friendly. Would recommend to anyone passing by.

We were staying just along the canal from the Bridge and booked a table for Sunday dinner. We ordered 2 medium turkey and one large beef dinners, one of the medium ones was gluten free as my partner is coeliac. When they arrived we were pleasantly surprised at the size, the plates were filled with a really good looking roast dinner. Everything was obviously home cooked fresh food which smelt and tasted great and at the end we were all full and unfortunately had no room for desert. Next time we are having a weekend away in this area or even if we decide on a ride or drive out this way the Bridge is somewhere we will definitely eat at again.

Called for food after walking along Chirk aqueduct and tunnel. Excellent value for money. genuinely home cooked food with views of Chirk aqueduct

The Pub is great for typical pub grub ie: burgers, hotdogs, jacket potatoes, lasagne, with decent wholesome portions, freshly cooked, nicely presented. Well kept real ales a good wines. Landlord & staff really welcoming & chatty.

Lovely Sunday lunch . You can pick small , medium and large . Believe me the medium and small Sunday lunch were huge portions . Lovely staff and homely feel .

Followed up a canal holiday with a visit to this pub. Starter of loaded nacho followed by Lamb and mint was just what I wanted. Great service, great food and a reasonable price. Fab

I contacted them to see if they were open on Monday, they said they were. We travelled for an hour to them on our wedding anniversary just after 12, they were closed , when I contacted them to say how disappointed this is the reply I received. Well if you would have look at our opening times you would seen when we open!! Ha and don’t us your wedding anniversary as an excuse cause that means nothing to us. No need for your snotty messages

We arrived at The Bridge Inn, which is 5 minutes down the road from The Poacher's (Don't go to The Poacher's - Read my review on their site for the same day 05.04.2024). Our visit to The Bridhe and was an amazing experience. Small, cozy, friendly, welcoming, table for two found quickly, even though the pub was very busy with many regulars. The pub had a great traditional pub feel. Everyone knew everyone. There were dogs present and I loved petting the black Cocker Spaniel. Food, fish chips and mushy peas to die for. Very good experience. Thank you The Bridge for being so friendly.

just passing and we popped in for Sunday lunch , great food and plenty also staff very polite and friendly . Try this pub in my opinion you will not be disappointed .

The best burgers and a great menu at affordable prices , booked a table online easily . Dog friendly. Very efficient and friendly waitress who also ran the bar . Good selection of beers and lager . Lovely and warm and good atmosphere.

Spotted this pub while walking into Chirk and decided to stop in for a drink. Pub was packed which was great to see, they have 2 areas, one large area In the main bar then they also have a room opposite side of the bar. Pub is extremely dog friendly which was great to see. Good selection of real ales and lagers. Pub does food, the Sunday lunch looked amazing, proper home cooked food! Staff were super friendly and very efficient. Great location just up from the canals and on the way to viaduct. Will definitely visit the next time we’re in the area.

Having been fortunate to eat all over the world, the burgers here wouldn't be out og place on a Michelin menu, service was top, beer was great and the food even better. If you're ever in the area this place is a mustm

We was really looking forward to visiting here and having a meal 6 adults and 1 child Online and social media said it was open from 2pm till 12 Arrived at approx 2.30pm and it was all locked up said ting Bell but there wasn't a bell to ring

OMG, probably one of the tastiest Sunday lunches have ever had in a pub, large means very large, plenty of meat too. Service and staff were great. Will definitely return. Thanks

We spent the weekend at a local touring site. Took a walk along the canal and had drinks & lunch here, lovely atmosphere & service and the food was amazing. Best lasagne I've had. We will definitely return.

We went as a group for the Traps Christmas dinner offer & it was truly excellent. The table was decorated really nice and festive,it is all home cooked food. The prawn cocktail starter had a load of lovely king prawns the main event did not disappoint with a generous portion of turkey plus plenty of the usual trimmings. The festive Eaton mess was a meal in itself ! Paul the landlord said that they don’t do doggy bags just suitcases. It was really good value for money too. I would recommend trying it for yourselves you wont be disappointed

I’ve frequently visited this place with my partner, and we love it. The food is incredible and the Sunday Roasts are amazing . We bring our dog Roux and even he gets to eat something, today he had the roast beef end cuts which he loved. The people are so friendly and we’re really made to feel very welcome. The best Sunday roast I’ve had for a long time and it comes in several sizes to suit the individual appetite. They also offer a takeout roast which I buy for my elderly mother and she says it’s delicious too. 100% Recommend and we will be visiting again very soon. They also have outdoor seating area with a fabulous view of the aquaduct. It really is such an enjoyable experience. Thank you all at the trap ( The Bridge Inn).

We stopped by for food and some drinks while in our narrow boat holiday. We loved it so much we went back on our way back through. The food and drinks are great value for money, the pub is lovely and welcoming, the staff were all very friendly and we even won the quiz which was also brilliant!

We stayed at a campsite close to this place. The pub's flyers at the site say they serve food every day of the week. They don't. On Google,it says they open Tuesday at 2pm. They didn't. After many unanswered phone calls.we got someone on Thursday afternoon and tried to get a table for 2 anytime after 7pm. Were told they had a booking at 6.30 and wouldn't do food after that. We gave up and went to the nearby poachers instead even though the food and drink in there is less than great. Not exactly a great advert for the place.

This is an excellent place for a night out. Views over the River Cariog to the Chirk Aquiduct and Viaduct. A quiz night on a Wednesday, traditional cask ales. Spirits and soft drinks. Proper home cooked food and a good welcome. I visit with my dog Charlie. They have snake bags for pets. Note opening times on a weekday is at 2.00pm. 12 noon at weekends.

We visited 3 times in the past week, during our holiday in Chirk. Dog friendly, which was essential for us. Nice place, friendly folks, good beer (London Pride was on form). Most memorable was the food, which was excellent and plentiful. I can personally recommend the ham, egg and chips, also the mighty 'Trap burger', although everything looked good. Hope to visit again later in the year.

This is a lovely little pub with wonderful views of the Chirk aqueduct. They serve a couple of real ales, some nice lagers and strongbow. The Guinness was excellent. Although we didn't eat here, the food was very reasonably priced and looked stunning. We were rather miffed at having cooked on the boat - the burgers look huge and epic. Just a word of warning; Google maps does show that it's only a 3 minute walk from the canal, which is true but it's quite a steep hill to go down and come up. This really is a lovely little pub with friendly locals.

Went there whilst on holiday and was very pleased with the service, the food and the welcoming locals. Also joined in with the weekly quiz.

Stopped off for lunch while exploring the area. Friendly welcome, good menu with many options. Tried the burgers, following recommendations- delicious but be hungry as portions are large!

We were passing through by boat and had just planned a few drinks as we had food on board. We didn’t plan on eating here until we saw the menu which was very reasonably priced and we saw the food. We all had something different and we all really enjoyed it. The beer is well kept too. The owners/staff were very friendly and welcoming. It was so good we went back the next day for a few more drinks.

lovely little pub, great food, friendly bar man. opens 2pm food available to 8pm definite place to stop on canal trip

Very good burgers. Friendly helpful staff. Family oriented. Lovely walks around the area. Locals use it.

Just had possibly the nicest ham egg and chips in a pub ever. The ham was superb, delicious and plentiful. Staff were very friendly and helpful, all in all very pleasant visit.

Visited yesterday for a drink and food. A friendly welcome from the new owners, beer very good and food was excellent. Nothing too much trouble, even offered to cook items not on the menu. We would recommend this pub and will definitely visit again when we are in the area.

Haven't eaten here in awhile.Sunday lunch was the best in a long time at a price that can't be beaten.The mash potato is amazing and the yorkshires light and crispy.We will be back.Don't go to the Poachers because this is a good meal at a good price!!!!!!!!!!

Stopped when driving through. Looked like a proper local pub. Very friendly staff and reasonably priced Sunday lunch which was great, basic but hit the spot. The decor needs a serious make over but it’s a local boozer so get what you see..

We stopped for a delicious shandy part through our walk along the aqueduct and canal. Welcoming and friendly with a lovely view of the aqueduct.

Four of us ate lunch here and were delighted by the meal we had for less than £40 with drinks. Each of said it was one of the best cooked pub meals we could remember. The fish was beautifully cooked and the onion rings actually...

Very friendly, family run pub. We were given a hearty welcome by staff and customers alike as soon we entered. We were too late as walk ins to order food, which smelt delicious, but they were happy to permit take aways to be ordered to...

Step back in the 70s!!! Ridiculous food but very friendly staff. The place has not been repaired or decorated since, it seems, 1973 😂

Popped in for a bite to eat and a drink whilst mooring about 10 mins walk away. The 2 young girls who were serving, Emily and Ava(think I've got the names right) we're just so lovely, made us feel so welcome, good choice of beers...

We regularly visit this pub and are never let down. It’s location near the canal is superb with stunning views, the staff are friendly and welcoming as are the locals who drink there. Bar and food prices are unbelievably great value and I highly recommend...

Great selection of drinks. Proper home made chunky chips! Lovely outdoor seating area and great views. Friendly staff and locals.

Only popped in cos we were passing. Nice friendly guy working. Well kept beer and decent food at a very good price. Two pints, fish and chips (1) and crisps for around £13!!! Chips were amazing too!!!

Just enjoyed a tasty Sunday lunch on our 2nd visit whilst visiting a lovely area of the country over Easter. Yes there are a few locals at the bar but the service has been friendly and very efficient. Amazing view to enjoy a pint or...

Having been a local for many years, but due to covid and other factors unable to go for 2 years, I ventured to the pub under new management. A little tentatively. But, all in all the pub looked great and a few subtle changes have...

We went today for friends birthday lunch and had traditional Sunday lunch which was just like mum would cook for you couldn’t ask for more thank you so much 😘

Went for Christmas lunch with friends here yesterday and it was lovely. Friendly warm and welcoming so made us all very relaxed. Food was delicious and good value. Keep up the good work 👍🏻👏

Called in for a drink , mid canal walk . The barman on duty was ill mannered and ignorant , he hardly spoke a word , just grunted . The only time he was near eloquent was when he growled at the dog behind the...

We booked for 6 and had to reduce the number and the Landlady was so friendly and accommodating. When we arrived we had such a friendly welcome with some happy banter. We were late for a Sunday lunch but still served with a “ no...

Welcoming and friendly greeting from both patrons and staff despite arriving close to close of food service. Took part in the Sunday Quiz night which exposed our lack of knowledge of 2000 girl bands. Food basic but good pub fare. Would visit again.

On the spur of the moment (driving past) popped in for a Guinness and coffee. A friendly welcome and good pint and splendid coffee / milk etc. Thank you.

Walked to the pub with our 2 Westies, very dog friendly. We had a lovely meal which was good honest food and very reasonably priced. Great Lager on tap for me anyway Budweiser again which was very reasonably priced. All in all we had a...

We visited without a booking and were accommodated. The pub was quite busy, obviously a locals pub, but the customers and staff were friendly. The food was remarkably cheap, but plentiful, if a little stodgy. Nice setting near a river, with good views of Chirk...

This is not £££££ Excellent value for money. Good honest quality tasty pub food. Unable to fault food, drinks or staff. Lovely evening

Not sure why this pub has £££ … because both food and beer were very good value … a pint of Guinness for £3 something is very rare in this day and age… the food is basic … but good! The locally made pies are...

Stopped off here when passing through on a narrowboat. Food was very good value, pub grub. it got pretty busy while we were there and the young lad working tables did a great job.

We visited the Bridge Inn while moored at Chirk Bank on the canal. This is a no-nonsense pub serving basic food. There was a very friendly welcome. Portions are large and prices are inexpensive. Outside seating has great views of the aqueduct.

Visited whilst on a narrowboat nearby. Staff really accommodating and welcoming . Very dog friendly too. Would recommend.

Had lunch with my family on Saturday as it was my birthday we all enjoyed our meals, lovely so decided to book a table for Sunday dinner and to watch England play just me and Ste this time the food was excellent compliments to the...

Booked in advance for a sunday roast to celebrate my wifes b-day.Great views of The Chirk Aquaduct,as we ate outside on a sunny day. Great price-freindly welcome-more beef next time please.

The bar maid was pleasant, but only cash sales, food was appalling limited menu and atmosphere awful. We chose this pub based on Trip Advisor reviews. The Pigeon up the road would have been A much better choice.

Found this pub when on a canal boat holiday, moored up close and went to pub for food and a drink, very good food and a great pint.

No food on an early evening in August (high season remember) !. First pint of real ale (Salopian) was visibly and disappointingly on the turn, and, to be fair, the bartender said so and emptied it away; only other option was 'Bank's Amber Ale', so...

Full marks to the cook. Fabulous roast dinner today. Proper home cooked food no packets or frozen mush. Plenty of it too, well cooked and piping hot. We'll be back!

Went to the bridge in yesterday for our Christmas meal table for 7. Food was fantastic from starters to deserts my only criticism is the drinks was very expensive! Lovely feel and great atmosphere👍merry Christmas from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Called in here after having a walk along the canal. The rugby was on so the pub was lively and atmosphere was great! The staff where very friendly and food was lovely

We were looking forward to having a nice dinner and drink here, as it’s the “last pub in England” before crossing into Wales in our narrow boat. After arriving at 3.45 for 4pm advertised opening, and standing in the rain, the staff then advised us they “weren’t open until 5pm as they hadn’t revised the opening time on the signage. Too bad really as we went to a fantastic restaurant in Chirk town instead.

Parked up yesterday 17th September (in their carpark) for something to eat and got shouted at in an agressive manner - you can't park there - explained we wanted something to eat and reply - WERE'RE CLOSED !!!!!

Called in for a quenching pint after walking Chirk Aquaduct - good simple bar meals at a decent price - dog friendly. Check on service times for food as I think it’s only weds-sun at differing times

We booked the Bridge Inn as we were on a two night break with our granddaughter and needed somewhere cłose to our B n B.Our granddaughter had a pizza, it came served on a foil plate sat on a basket type tray, we had a veggie burger and I had. baked potato. It was okay, presented well, after eating our granddaughter said there was a fly in the basket tray, I checked it and to my horror it was not a fly but an earwig crawling round the basket tray, this made me feel sick, I brought this to the attention of the waitress who offered to give me another pizza. We didn't make too much of a fuss, as it often spoils the evening and also I didn't want to alarm our six year old. But for absolute sure I will not be going back there. I wondered how and where they were storing their crockery etc and how clean the kitchens were!

We visited whilst travelling through and stopped for a meal. The young barman was very friendly and pleasant, polite and took our order. Our food arrived quickly but we were terribly disappointed. My husbands scampi was runny inside, and dripping in grease, my burger was lying in a basket of grease at the bottom and the very few chips that were served tasted strongly of garlic and had some sort of oil on them? Definitely overpriced for the portion size and quality. I personally wouldnt eat here again but the location and view was wonderful.

Visited the bridge for some drinks and a meal. Ordered gammon and the steak pie which was shown as a special at £8.50 . The gammon which came with 2 eggs, pineapple, chips and peas was excellent value for money, however the locally sourced steak pie was nothing more than approx 6 x 3 inch foil tray based pie which would be available from any local butchers at a minimal cost. Although tasty it was never special and exceptionally poor value for money.

A small pub with a limited menu, but with very good beer. We were recommended to have the roast dinner by other customers, and what a good choice. The roast was plain, but excellent, plenty of veg and gravy, and served very quickly. The staff were friendly and attentive, I would definitely when in the area.

Stopped for evening drink. Lovely evening so sat outside for a while. Then went in to find it packed. Only very small bar. Singer was on and he was good. Loved the atmosphere. Everyone was friendly.

A pub overlooking the Chirk aqueduct and viaduct, with very friendly and helpful hosts. This is also dog friendly. The food is tasty and well presented.

After visiting Llangollen, we were on our way eastward - we stopped at the tiny village of Chirk Bank and walked the short distance down the road to the 'Bridge Inn' touted as the 'Last Pub in England' this epithet is because further down the road (or along the canal) one enters Wales.

The food was very tasty, nice owners, roadside location but there is a lovely view of the aquaduct and viaduct. Only let down was the ketchup, it just just didn't taste great.

Lovely welcome when you go through the door, lovely ales, all well kept.... nice atmosphere. Dogs are welcome on the tiled floor of the pub, which is great for walkers.. lovely seating area outside, with outstanding views of the aquaduct and viaduct.

Pleasant stop, drinks and some food nothing to write home about. Due to the fact we were on a fairly long canal journey, I wouldn't go out of my way to call again.

Called in whilst walking the canal path having seen the sign adjacent to the canal directing us via a short walk down the hill to the main road.

We were hoping to get a meal here as it is very close to the canal where we were on a narrowboat holiday. Unfortunately the kitchen was closed, in spite of a chalk board advertising food outside. We went in to double check, to be told that there was no food as they were vacating the pub in a few days time. Not sure if it was closing for good, or just going to be under new management.

We had just left Trevor on our first night on the Llangollen Canal and came across this Pub when we moored. Good Food friendly Landlord and Lady and good abeyance, Just what we wanted

Arrived by boat for lunch. Very quiet. Landlady was so friendly and welcoming. Beer was very well kept and the burger I had was amongst the best pub burgers I have eaten. On a nice day you can enjoy all this together with a great view of the Chirk aqueduct.

Please forget about any of the negative reviews you might have read, this pub is a real gem! Have visited three times now over the last few months and every time I have always been greeted with a warm welcome and made to feel at home.

Popped into the bridge inn...just down the hill at bridge 21 after the aquaduct. Lovely welcome and perfect refreshment after a long walk down the hill from Bronaygarth.

A quiet Lunchtime visit with friends. Friendly staff. Food was very good. Will be visiting again soon.

Barman did not seem to what was doing with drinks, kept getting customers drinks wrong or just taking a long time. Ordered three meals. All got wrong!

Ordered 4 adult meals. Chips looked and tasted as if they had been refried multiple times. Chicken curry was watery, the best thing on the plate was the poppadom.

This is a very friendly,cosy local serving "pub grub" that is a cut above the average.

We have popped in a couple of times passing through the area. We heard there was a new chef of which we met briefly outside on his short break. Lovely chappy friendly chef Andy . His food was well presented and expertly cooked but !! You can tell the bridge is on a budget and skims on good ingredients. Quality ingredients would enhance the dish. i.e. : fish and chocolate used in the chocolate fudge cake ! Such a shame ! Come on good ingredients makes all the difference ! That said overall the dining experience was enjoyable and we will return ! ( Hoping management realises that all the best restaurant uses quality fresh ingredients ! )

The landlady states they have the best chips ever, that's even their Wi-Fi password. And to be fair they were lovely. However, that's where the positive ended for me (apart from the view)

We were cruising the Llangollen canal and the Bridge was a short walk from our moorings. The pub has a nice cosy 'Local feel' to it but is also very welcoming to newcomers. Unfortunately the day we arrived the chef had been taken ill and there was no hot food available which left us in a predicament as we hadn't ingredients on the boat to make a proper meal. The Landlady couldn't of been more helpful and offered to phone up a local take away and let us sit in the pub to eat it, they also provided cutlery and condiments. There was a good selection of well kept Ales and the night was rounded off with a penalty shoot out win for England against Columbia in the world cup !! There is a small outside seating area with lovely views of Chirk Aqueduct. Thank you to all at the Bridge and if we are in the area again we will be calling in.

Visited during a canal boat holiday and was well impressed. Had the fish and chips which was superb - both components were stunning. Will certainly revisit, hopefully soon.

Not only the best chips ever but fish was very good too. Definitely worth walking down the hill from the canal for!

There is a great view of Chirk aqueduct but our meal was fairly uninspiring - we had sausage and mash and fish and chips. It was in handy walking distance from our mooring on the canal

Lovely character pub. The food was excellent. " best gammon I've had in ages " according to my husband. Friendly staff. Short walk from the Llangollen canal. Excellent place to stop for lunch or dinner if boating on the canal, or walking or cycling on the tow path.

Very friendly staff, great menu and great selection of beers and ciders, including guest beers. The view from the pub is fantastic, and takes in both the Chirk Aquaduct and the railway Viaduct and really for us, with a glass of cider in hand, was possible the best view in England!

Visited the bridge inn for the first time. A nice pint of mild,good food at a reasonable price but best of all a proper landlady. Keep up the good work Dee, we will see you next time we're down!

Good service by friendly staff member, amazing tomato and fennel soup! Coffee not so great but would still come again.

The new Landlords are really pulling out all the stops. Very welcoming, good food. Sunday lunch is very good and all home made. The pub menu in week is very good too. Nice outdoor area with view of the Aqueduct.

My grandparents love to get out and travel to various local pubs and restaurants on an afternoon and have food in the local area.

This pub is located just down the road from the Llangollen Canal and it’s a friendly establishment. Good beers and a nice bar, but no food on the night we were there.

Visited in the evening for a meal. Great curry and a burger served by very friendly staff. Really nice locals as well. Roaring fire was really welcome during the snow.

Myself and my husband were staying at Henlle Hall as we do every 3-4 months. We decided to go for a walk along the canal and stumbled across this little pub! We only planned on going in for a pint but after seeing the food they serving we decided to stay and eat and watch the football. It’s a lovely little pub win a very friendly and welcoming lady behind the bar! The veggie option of mushroom Wellington was amazing! Cooked from fresh! Will be returning again in the summer when we come again!
