The Edgmond Lion in Telford and Wrekin - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Came here for first time as staying in the area walking. Staff were very friendly and accommodating on arrival, the food came really fast and was phenomenal! The kind of pie you think about afterwards and measure all others against. The chips were really, really good! Would definitely come back here if visiting again.

Good choice of drinks and lovely outdoor seating area, friendly local pub.

Went here for lunch with my local Ramblers group. My BLT sandwich was very tasty and it came with a salad and coleslaw. Very nice couple running the pub. Would recommend.

All round amazing. That's it! 👏 Love this place. ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳🥳

Fantastic pub run by friendly, hospitable folks. The food served is faultless. Top notch

Great service ,good food and great staff . Bob and Doreen Australia

Enjoyed a lovely meal. Friendly family atmosphere and great service.

Great Sunday lunch with the Lawley walkers. Amazing Guinness and wonderful service. Highly recommended you visit....... Michael Farrington.

Cracking good honest food, ribs to die for. staff/owners friendly and helpful. Now my favourite local.

Lively village pub. Lots of parking not noisy even when full. Great food at good prices. Will be visiting again.

Lovely food at a nice local pub.. young man waiting on very professional and accommodating.. top job sir.

I found this little treasure amidst consistent drizzle. It was a good find though. Staff is very cooperative and friendly. Food is excellent in taste and value for money. They’ve outdoor seating as well for a sunny day. I think it’s the only place to enjoy quality food inside Edgmond village.

Great place for a Sunday roast!

Fantastic service and incredibly friendly staff. The food was excellent - real home cooked food, the deserts were just amazing. Will definitely be back! Oh, it busy - I would recommend booking first! Cheers and see you soon! Cheers 🤓👍

Decent beers in decent condition. Beer garden for a nice day.

Had a really lovely meal here this evening. Great that the pub has reopened.

Fantastic Sunday lunch, brilliant service!

When 20 plus suddenly book just 2 hours and you produce the goods well what more can we say but thankyou.

Fantastic atmosphere great staff fabulous food what more can you ask

Great food, good beer all reasonably priced and a pool table which we enjoyed! All round decent pub.

Dog friendly pub, good pint and very pleasant atmosphere. What more can you ask for?

Enjoyed an excellent Sunday lunch. All well cooked and presented.

Had Sunday Lunch with our Daughter, Son in Law & our Grandson, as expected the food was second to none, nothing short of excellent. Made use of the Sports bar had a couple of games of Pool. Will most definitely be returning this us what public houses should be. Fantastic made for a great experience.

We had a great lunch will be back best meal I have had out for awhile. A real Jem good service good food good beer .

Not had food as yet, its great to see the Lion open again, always was a great village pub, called in for a couple, real ale was top drawer, hope it continues to grow

Lovely new couple who I'm sure will succeed,hope the village gives there support.

Wow. Great pub, friendly staff. Highly recommend

Beautifully done up, lovely little games room and very attentive landlady. Enjoyed a nice pint in the garden - could possibly do with a couple more tables outside but otherwise a very nice pub.

Lovely friendly pub with good selection of drinks. Still putting the finishing touches to it after reopening but once finished will be perfect.

Fun local pub. The landlady even asked us what music we wanted on in the pool room 😎

New Landlord and Lady Warm welcome Great beer

Nice traditional country pub with great food. Sadly now permanently closed.

Nice little village pub, massive garden, families most welcome

Nice pub. Friendly locals and owners.

The food was absolutely fantastic worth every penny ,with a warm welcome five stars.

A group of eight of us arrived this evening hungry after a long day. Unfortunately we did not receive the food we were hoping for. After being handed the menu we were informed that there were two meals that were not available which was a little disappointing. Myself and another member of the group ordered chicken pasta carbonara which arrived bland and stone cold, not even lukewarm! To me this was a basic meal which should not be hard to deliver at decent standard, at £10 I at least expected it to be warm. The waitress continued to ask if we would like any sauce to go with our meals, but stated that they did not have ketchup. This is a basic sauce that should be available and if not I’m sure it could be purchased from a nearby shop? After numerous disappointing meals from our table, two of us decided to order a pudding in hope that it would be better than the mains. Sadly the ‘warm’ apple pie and chocolate fudge cake were both fridge cold. It’s safe to say that we will not be returning. Worst meal I have ever had!

The service was goog n the food brilliant they deserve the 5 stars I gave them

Gone downhill since it changed management. The food is nowhere near as good as it used to be.

A lovely dog friendly family run pub. The food was tasty and well cooked, with plenty of gluten free options on the menu.

Cosy, welcoming. The type of pub one would expect to find in a village - real ale, real fire and an old guy sitting at the end of the bar.

First time visiting tonight, we'll definitely be back lovely atmosphere, great service and food thank you

Callen in for lunch and a pint with mum. Food was superb. All home cooked with very nice quality ingredients. Loved the veg with my pie, so much better than a few peas and a slice of tomato and cucumber! Beer perfectly kept and served , and a very pleasant and friendly young man serving is. Excellent price to.I recommend you vist.Ps sun mid october that we could sit in beer garden in helped too!

Have a great evening here tonight, lovely friendly service, we all really enjoyed our meals .Thank you

Nice village pub, friendly landlord and landlady. Dizzying array of fine gins and good real ales. Home made food excellent, had a lovely roast with great choice of veg not the standard carrots and peas. Followed up with the best Bread and Butter Pudding I've had in years. You will have to wait for your food but so you should, no pinging microwaves here, fresh and hot when served. A very reasonable price I highly recommend the Lion for all the family.

Great food individually prepared. If you want fast food go to MacDonalds. If you've got the time, it's worth the wait.

Nice food. Bit strange interior

A friendly village pub with a spacious garden area where people can sit and where children can run around.

This is a lovely country pub with a well stocked bar and a selection of real ales. Lunch we had was very nice and the outlook from the large garden is great, perfect when the weather is kind.

Good choice of draught Beers in a friendly atmosphere

Love this lovely pub, with lovely food and lovely staff. We are here twice in one day. Lunch was steak ciabatta, fish finger ciabatta, served with triple cooked chips, nice and big and crunchy. Small side salads accompanied these. In the evening, pie and mash for hubby and then a bavette steak for me. Beautifully cooked.

Nice place beer was good food bit expensive not much for your money staff friendly ennough

Great food just didn't get there in time umphhh

I visited this pub tonight with my husband, daughter & her partner for a meal to celebrate my birthday, wish we hadn't bothered. We ordered our food about 6.40 &, despite asking after waiting an hour, when we could expect it, we waited until 8 pm for it to be served. We were told the reason for the delay was people arriving unexpectedly for food, not having booked. Even though, the place was not full, only us & 8 other adults in the dining room. 3 of us had steak, mushroom & ale pie which was an insipid looking plate of gristly, fatty, tough meat which hadn't been anywhere near any ale & didn't have any flavour at all, with a piece of pastry plonked on top of it & the chips were underdone. When our food arrived we were offered a free dessert because we had had to wait so long. When we complained, we were offered free meals, but couldn't face the wait for another possibly inedible meal. All we wanted to do was leave as quickly as we could & go home to get something tasty to eat. No way will we ever visit The Lion again, & if anyone tells us they are going there we would advise them not to

Have visited The Edgmond Lion many times for a meal. Each time we have sampled something different from the menu and we have been impressed every time. All the food is cooked freshly on the premises and on each visit the food has been served by a very pleasant member of staff and nothing is too much trouble for them. The pub itself is in a beautiful little village, has ample car parking, a beer garden, a smoking area and a children's play field. All of the play field is visible from the beer garden so the children can be seen at all times by their parents. Talking of beers, there is a wide selection of those also. Altogether an excellent place which I love to visit and would recommend to anyone. Well done to all concerned.

They know their food. Warm and friendly staff. And best of all a blooming good pint.Thank you.

Would highly recommend this pub. Had a lovely Sunday lunch today with my husband and Mum. The food was so nice I phoned my son who was planning to eat out with his family and they came to join us. Thank you we will definitely be back soon.

Pub grub, very good and filling. Service very good and helpful

Had fish and chips. Both over cooked and the chips were soggy. Ambiance scruffy and and the bar was more a creche than a bar. Perhaps lunch time is not the best time to visit this pub.

Another successful evening was had this Saturday just gone at The Edgmond Lion.We started with the root vegetable soup which was absolutely delicious. For mains I had the cottage pie and my partner had the all-day breakfast. Glad to say that the standard of food and service were first class, just like we have experienced on each of our visits.Well done to Laura, Sam, Ryan and everybody at The Edgmond Lion (including Winnie!) for an excellent evening and we will definitely return again soon

Just a wonderful happy place to visit with good food and wonderful staff

This pub is easy to find its more or less in the centre of Edgmond town

Great country pub, well run and beer well kept. Always a smile and banter on arrival... Keep up the good work Laura and Sam

Nice meals, plenty of tables to, good selection of meals and play area for kids. Gets very busy as a nice place to eat.

Hi recently visited the local pub great atmosphere by the open fireplace. Nice friendly local for food and catch up with friends

Had lots of good reviews from colleagues at work including someone who lives in Telford. Had a look on Saturday on the website, read reviews, and thought sounds good for Sunday Lunch. Drove out from Stoke, arrived and went in only to be told no food available due to a christening booking. Whilst I appreciate that regulars need to be looked after maybe one part of the room could be kept open for drop ins. Didn't see any notice on website about it being closed for Sunday lunch on the Saturday but perhaps I missed it.. However due to the reviews I have had, I will be making a return visit to eat, but will phone up and check if it is open next time.

Went to the The Edgmond Lion on the evening of Tuesday 14 November 2017 for the monthly meeting of the local Camra ( Campaign for Real Ale) group and the awarding of the branches 'Pub of the season's award. It must be over ten years since last visiting The Edgmond Lion as it is now called. It has been brightened up and feels bright and welcoming. We had our meeting in the lower dining room area which is approached from the bar by steps either side of the fireplace. I note that in another review it does say that the dining room can be approached via another door to avoid the steps - I did not spot this approach but I suspect it was from the main door at the rear and turn right - I did not spot any obvious signs for wheelchair users but I might have missed it.

Visited on the evening of Tuesday 14 Nov 2017 for a meeting and Camra pub of the season presentation. Seems to be a friendly place with good beer, warm and welcoming.

Visited the Edgmond Lion today for lunch with our 2 teenagers. Nice greeting and drinks served quickly. Our order for food was taken after 10 minutes... but then a 50 minute wait for our food followed. Surely 3 burgers and a beef pie can’t take that long?! No apology offered or an update on the delay. The portion sizes were poor, a dozen chips per meal. Brioche burger buns were toasted so much that they were hard to eat, and the burger was of poor standard. Beef pie had sloppy pastry.

Popped into the Edmond lion today and was very surprised by the lovely greeting from a young lady behind the bar,nothing was too much trouble for her so we decided to have a bacon and Brie sandwich with real chips. All I can say first class meal at a good price my wife and I will definitely be going back there ,keep up the good work

Last night was our third visit to this little treasure of a pub restaurant in Edgmond.

We visited the Edgmond lion on a Weekday early evening, very pleasant staff, 3 of us had steaks which were divine and cooked perfectly, one of our party had steak pie and said it was on of the best he had tasted in a long time, for desserts we had home made blackberry crumble and a beautiful custard this again was superb, would we visit again most definitely they deserve to do really well, a old village pub in a delightful setting, well done to all

We visited the Edgmond Lion early one morning following a family get together. We had pre booked breakfast and were quickly shown shown to our table on arrival. The dining area is at a lower level to the entrance and there is about 5-6 steep steps to descend to get to the table. Not ideal for anyone with limited mobility. The staff were friendly and the food fresh. Just what we wanted! The overall impression is that this is a pub that is trying hard to be a success. The decoration is dated and overall the building is in need of a makeover. Will we return? Probably not as there a number of other pub restaurants in the area with improved facilities. It should be noted that this is a pub that has a small outdoor eating area overlooking open fields and has it's own car park.

Love this place the staff make you feel at home and can't do enough to make it a great experience

Met up with friends & decided to try The Edgmond Lion for a Sunday Roast, we were a party of 4 and had 2 Beef Roast Dinners & 2 Lamb dinners, I must say that all four of us was absolutely delighted with the food and the friendly atmosphere, won't be long before we are back for seconds, well done the Chef & Staff.

Proper old school local pub, with good food, beer and outdoor space. Current landlords doing a great job

Called at lunch time plenty of parking.food could have been better small portions for the price.also table service very slow.would not like to be there when it was busy.shall I call again NO

My friend and thought we'd treat ourselves to lunch she ordered fish and chips that was OK. I ordered a ploughmans it was the worst I have ever had hadn't a clue what cheese certainly not cheddar there was no pickle a bit Branston would have been nice a quarter of a sausage roll slice of dry bread and margarine no butter small slice of ham that looked off and what looked like pickled cucumber and carrots it was terrible I will never go back there again.

Good beer, good food, pleasant surroundings .

Great pub very welcoming place to go for a pint and food staff are very welcoming

Sam and Laura have been at The Lion for just over a year now. I have been a customer for over 20 years and have seen many people come and go. The food is great, drinks are the same - and a genuine warm welcome. Every time. This is the reason I travel 15 miles just to have a drink/meal here - just a good village pub. ☺

Friendly and helpful, really looked after us all.

Good beer (HPA v good), decently priced food, great landlord and lady who get involved in the village, no muzak in the background, just conversation

Great local and good food and draught beers

Nice place. Good kids play section. Lovely food

We couldn't get in to our favourite restaurant and hadn't been to The Lion since it had changed hands BUT we definitely wont be going again. we went with friends so the company was as good as ever but can't say the same for the food..... it was awful. Two of us had the pasta dish it was so dry, all it was was some pasta with a bit of pesto and a few mushrooms we did ask for a bit more cheese hoping it might be easier to get down but we struggled with it being so dry and no sauce on it. The chips WELL you couldn't call then chips (they were described as 4 way cooked chips) which ended up being dried up crispy clumps of potatoes that didn't taste of anything. When the waitress came to ask if we were ok we said the pasta was very dry and the chips were terrible she said oh sorry.... Well The Lion has totally failed as far we are concerned and we won't be going there again.

I have visited the Edgmond Lion a few times with family and friends. Every visit the food has been to a high standard and service very good with the staff welcoming. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food on offer. The best place to go for food around newport!

Booked a groupon deal 2 course meal and drink each, I've got to say it was lovely.The food was delicious, service was good, lovely pub.

Stoppef by for Friday dinner on the strength of the reviews, and so glad we did. Very tasty - baked camembert to start was heavenly, steak and chips fab then rum n raisin ice cream and homemade choc tart absolutely delish. Plus lovely, cheerful and helpful service. Just the kind of country pub you want to drop in on. Thank you!

3 of us visited today for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the very tasty home cooked food. The hosts, Sam and Laura were very welcoming and the pub had a lovely country feel to it offering a nice selection of drinks. We felt it was excellent value for money and would definitely recommend it as a place to visit. Will definitely be visiting again!

We visited this evening for the first time and we will definitely be back. Service was superb and the food the best pub food we've had in a long time! Real care and love put into this business.... hats off to the owners .... this little pub shouldn't be passed by! Well worth a visit!

We have eaten at The Lion a few times and have had great food. Four of us went for Sunday lunch & had a really lovely meal. We shared a baked Camembert to start with which was delicious and perfect between the 4 of us. We all had a Sunday roast, but 2 shared the 'Edgmond platter' which was roast beef, roast ham, loads of lovely fresh veg, roast carrots, Yorkshires and a big bowl of crispy roast potatoes. The platter is thoroughly recommended - delicious!Really good, plentiful food and great service - lovely afternoon, thanks.

My partner and I took our daughter and niece for a quick meal out. The landlord was very welcoming and even brought our drinks over to the table for us. Once the food was ordered it came out quickly and tasted great. The fish and chips was huge, lovely home made chunky chips. My daughter loved the huge portion of ice cream she had too. After reading another review I felt I had to write to say what a lovely experience we had and we will be definitely going back again soon. Thought I would take a picture of my meal, sorry it's half eaten, I was hungry and it was so yummy.

I wouldn't go here again.The hosts seemed welcoming and we felt comfortable in the lovely country pub atmosphere.However our experience went down hill from here. The food was awful, they obviously need to have a word in the ear of the chef. The prices are outrageous, the portions were tiny. With these two negative factors you'd hope for some real effort and quality but not in the slightest. It seemed to me that the chef was either new or inexperienced. He mustn't know his clientele and needs to really up his game in terms of quality of products. It was poor at best. It lacked quality presentation and inspiration. We felt like leaving half way though. Note to self don't go back. Unless there is big kitchen changes. Johnny.

Fabulous 2 courses plus drinks friendly welcoming attentive staff delicious food and lovely atmosphere

Great cosy country pub with a great hosts in Sam and Laura. The new chef is doing a brilliant job with freshly cooked and sourced ingredients. Worth a drive out for the friendly atmosphere alone!

Excellent young owners, great service. A real country pub. We will be back next September for sure. Great food.

Great place, friendly service and a wonderful blazing log fire. Lovely atmosphere balancing local trade with visitors from far and wide. Service is an important value for the team who provide an excellent range of beers(includes 5 real ales), wines, ciders and soft drinks.Set in the heart of this pretty village the restaurant is gaining a good reputation for quality and the sourcing of food locally. Well worth a visit.

Had Sunday lunch here today, with 2 business colleagues, must say the food was excellent and the Staff very professional, we came in at a very busy time but only had to wait about 25 minutes for the food to arrive, would definitely use The Edgmond Lion if I'm in the vicinity again, well done to you all

Today we were let down by another local establishment following a booking for eight people to celebrate our daughter's birthday with a Sunday Lunch. Desperate as we were left on the car park of the other closed place I called The Edgemond Lion and explained our predicament. The lady I spoke to was extremely understanding and welcomed us to go to the Lion. By the time we arrived the table had been prepared and a complementary bottle of Prosecco was awaiting us as a birthday treat. Orders for drinks were soon taken and we were able to choose either a Sunday roast or a choice from the extensive evening menu.There was friendliness from all the staff which really made us feel welcome, especially after being let down by the other place.Our meal orders were taken and we waited a relatively short time for our meals considering the notice given of our arrival was less than five minutes.Everyone commented how nice the meals were. I had a beef roast and there was plenty of tender tasty beef complete with perfectly cooked roast accompaniments. Our orders varied with Lamb Roasts, Beef Roasts, Steak, Lamb Shoulders and Hake and every meal was superb. The waitress was polite and attentive to ensure we had sufficient drinks and sauces with our meals.Imagine how grateful we were to have had our daughter's surprise birthday treat rescued from the brink of disaster by the hospitality afforded to us by The Edgemond Lion. I cannot recommend this place enough and we are truly thankful for the warmth of welcome extended to us. Thank you to all at The Edgemond Lion and I wish you great success in your business, you deserve it.

We enjoyed a fabulous meal here after celebrating sons graduation at Harper. Greeted by friendly happy staff and received fantastic efficient service.Soup and pigeon breasts chosen for starters and we were all impressed. Main meal was delicious and obviously cooked and presented by a very good chef that clearly knew what they were doing!Thanks so much - definitely will visit again if in the area
