The Gingerbread Man, Greene King Pub & Carvery in Shropshire

Great food and lovely staff especially moey very helpful :)

Maybe the worst carvery I've ever eaten... veg was practically raw, Yorkshire still had the chill of the fridge...rosters tasted like thed been plucked of the back of the freezer. Only positive the meat was overcooked, but that's how I like it! I would suggest mustard to heat things up a bit!! The lady who served us however was lovely.

Good hearty food, great value for money Accommodated our large part fantastically

Lovely to be able to cater for our large family of 18 to celebrate a birthday at late notice. Carvery great. Thanks x

We had a lovely family meal. Ian the chef did a great job! 👍

Good value pub food. Nice staff

Lovely service from Moey, very polite and friendly!

Our server Moe was brilliant couldn’t do enough for us and food was great!

Very good. Nice friendly staff & freshly prepared food at a great price. Would definitely recommend The Gingerbread Man

Food was lovely, staff friendly and has been visited many times with minimal issues

Me and 2 of my friends come here every 3 months and love it

We were in the area & needed somewhere to do a work call. We arrived a little before 9am and despite not being open we were allowed in to set up for 9am start. Music was turned down so could do work calls, coffee brought to table & bacon rolls amazing! Staff lovely. Can highly recommend.

Lovely carvery and friendly staff, but the reason I've not given 5 stars is the staff appear very scruffy eg. Dirty clothes, one had trousers covered in paint not a good look, smarten yourselves up a bit guys!!

Lovely people and great service

Nice and quiet chicken was a little over cooked but all the other food was beautiful

The food is great! The Staff are amazing.

Lovely evening celebrating Birthdays, great food, staff were wonderful and the service was fantastic. Highly recommend.

service was lovely by lexy and georgia, food was very enjoyable!

We started visiting here when our little one turned one for the wacky ware house. The staff have always been polite and very welcoming in the pub and the warehouse. Jess is lovely - myself and whoever comes with me to bring the kids normally have a drink or the carvery or a pub meal. carvery tastes amazing and my little boy always eats so well here! It’s nice to go somewhere where it’s always been clean whenever we’ve been even when busy - there’s a guy who works here who’s always lovely with my children think he’s the kitchen manager and always makes the time to go out of his way to make my little ones day. Thank you :)

Alice was nice while serving us.

Lovely carvery for lunch. Great selection of meats and vegetables, great service from Moey and all the staff very friendly

Lovely food and always great service from Moey and the team

Good food, good drinks, great service from Moey & the girls behind the bar, would come again!

Had a long day at work this wk. Came to the gingerbread man for a pint and some food. Was welcomed by nice staff. Outcome. Food was lovely pint was lush. Recommend..

Love this place,great food,fab service!

Great first time visit. We were served by Moey who was lovely and checked on us regularly. We couldn't finish all the food so we got a doggy box to take it home for the pups. You need to go up to order carvery they don't come to you, just so people are aware. The food was pretty good but the roast potatoes were not good. Dry potatoes looked like not used any oil to cook. The meat was very good and coliflower was yum. Good sauces and gravy. Yorkshire puddings were good. Prices were fair and seemed good, probably wouldn't bother with the pigs in blankets next time. Overall great visit will repeat! Snapped a pic of the menu for anyone needing prices.

5 meals ordered, the food wasn't hot, the chicken on ny husbands mixed grill was dry and like hard rubber, my son had egg shell on his plate....the cheese meltdown burger..."hollowed out bun lid to pour oozy boozy cheese ssuce" i couldn't wait for this but unfortunately the bun lid just had a hole in the middle that had been poorly cut out and the cheese sauce tasted like a cheap powder cheese sauce mix that was lumpy. Also order a pitcher of purple rain which when it came it was a jug of cherry sours with lemonade. The gentleman behind the bar said it had 2 shots of the blue curacao in. The drink looked like pale pink squash. I asked for a second opinion with some female members who had said they ran out of the blue curacao and said she would add a shot of blue au vodka at no extra charge. Also the pool table took money out of my bank and didn't release the balls. This has to be the most disappointing £96 I have ever spent.

Good food cheap prices and kind staff

After having a not to good experience we hadn't been for a while but decided to go on the spare of the moment having been out for the day and was passing on way home. So glad we did. It was like walking into a different place. Atmosphere was buzzing. It was very busy but that didn't deter the staff from making it a nice experience. Food was great, we had the carvery which was all fresh. They also had an offer that kids eat free which was good when it came to paying the bill. Will definitely go back. Well done the team/staff of the gingerbread man. Thank you for the nice experience.

Lovely staff, who are very helpful. Food is ok, some things not available but told when ordering.

Food was good. Friendly environment. Kids ate free.

Great Carvery, with a great range of meat and veg. Fast service.

We come here often for a carvery it is always spot on and value for money. Very friendly staff and always ready to help

lovely customer service very friendly staff

Had a nice time for birthday party

Food always good. Staff are great and always willing to help in any way. Credit to them all

The carvery was a lot better than before & much improved The crispy chicken meal with hunters topping was very good The chicken n mix was a little sparse and dry but after chatting with the manager, we had a refund & a free pudding for our daughter. We were also offered a free drink but declined as we felt the management had gone over and above dealing with the one meal we were not happy with.

Really good food and drink. Great price. Always happy with Greene King.

Lovely place food very nice and hot staff nice and friendly

Great meal all the way from Cornwall for this. Worth the drive

Beautiful pub lovely team most of the team had in training badges on which shows they are clearly new but are doing really well had a lovely evening and carvery was lovely and fresh. Would 100% recommend

Friendly staff food excellent we really enjoyed our valentines meal

Popped into pub on way home and had the carvery, excellent choice of veg and the beef was delicious, mid afternoon so very quiet but we were very well looked after by the staff, Moey in particular

Very enjoyable carvery meat very tender .But unfortunately the meal wasn't very warm

Really enjoyed the carvery. Special thank you to Gary the kitchen manager for looking after us ( and our dog) so well

Great for families with small kids. Carvery nice, staff friendly

We celebrated my husbands 60th birthday at the gingerbread yesterday 8/2/24 .Nothing was too much trouble staff brilliant lighting the candles on his cake and bringing it across.Everyone enjoyed their meals and puddings which were all served at the same time which was good as we where a large group. Thank you for the warm welcome and great food we will definitely be returning! Added bonus noted part of the pub is now dog friendly so our 4 legged friend will join us when it gets warmer x

Staff lovely. Moey is very helpful nothing was to much trouble.Had a lovely meal. Thank you

Brilliant service nice food would recommend.

All had carvery, food was lovely,staff were excellent thanks money 😍

Lovely friendly staff they are so lovely and caring The food is amazing lovely carvery and can buy carverys to take home and save yourself cooking at home . plenty of selection on the main menu and it is all good portions and amazing food . I come here every week it is such a lovely pub and fantastic food and lovely staff who take time to talk to you

Visited ginger bread man , very clean ,.foods great , would recommend

We had a fantastic time. Will definitely come again

Had chicken bbq skewer meal cooked perfect! Money well spent ☆☆☆☆☆

What a shame that a nice meal was ruined by being almost cold

Happened on the pub on a very busy Sunday lunchtime. On finding we had a dog which we'd left in the car, the Manager quickly found a dog friendly table for her, together with a blanket, and later a big bowl of meat from the carvery! We ordered the large fish and chips and were warned there was a 30 minute wait which gave us time to enjoy our drinks. The meal when it came was beautiful, if large! Probably the best fish and chips we have had in a pub. The Manager kept coming over to check if everything was ok and all the staff were very friendly considering how busy it was. Definitely trying the carvery next time - it looked lovely, and we don't usually do carveries!

Visited the gingerbread for carvery, food was lovely. Served by Keira, such an excellent waitress. Very well mannered, what a credit to the team she is.

Lovely friendly staff , good value food , would highly recommend

Big shout out to Freya and Charlotte (hope I got it right). Above and beyond what they needed to do, we were tablets 22 about 6.30pm Saturday 28th Jan 2025. We ordered food but then had to leave. They not only kept our table until we returned 30 min later, but madd sure the meal was as good as it would have been if we had it when ordered. Top class thank you and sorry chef for messing you about on a busy evening. I did mention to Kim on the night. Ken

Lovely carvery today, pleasant staff made us feel very welcome it was my partners birthday they bought his cake out and sang happy birthday the gentleman who serves the carverys lovely man

Fantastic service lovely staff was amazing

Lovely carvery, great value and friendly service

Nice and quiet, food was fresh and well presented. Staff lovely and chatty. Returned for a breakfast with Son and his GF, breakfast was piping hot and beautifully presented. Drinks were served at just the right time, most places serve them ages before your meal and you are left going up for another.

Great service & food Freya was wonderful hostess

Great value carvery, very kid friendly.

Food was very mediocre Steak was fatty and tough on the mixed grill, onion rings over cooked. Rump steak fatty and tough. Everything was luke warm and piping hot as it should be

Had a great time with the family here the food was delicious fresh and hot all at a reasonable price the kids menu is brilliant and very cheap Friendly staff quick service and a good atmosphere Definitely recommend Will definitely be back again and again Thank you 😊

Kids had an amazing time and our food was good spent a lot of time with friends here staff very friendly especially with the kids could not fault the experience

Couldn't be happier with our visit today, 1st time what a lovely warm welcome and the staff went above and beyond for us, they couldn't of been more helpful. To top off the food was exceptiona, fresh, tasty and very fair priced. l/we look forward to seeing you all again in the new year.

Here for a group Christmas lunch, and it's been amazing! Absolutely recommend this place!

The food is always fresh and cooked to perfection. Cannot fault the service and Gary, Kim and their staff are always pleasant and helpful. My favourite place when eating out especially on special occasions. We are frequent diners there. Recommend anything on their menu.

the food was unbelievable the staff are so friendly and caterer to your best interests I would definitely recommend this place to come and eat to bring family and friends

Special mention to Gary the kitchen manager, who gave us excellent customer service, was super friendly and approachable and the food was sublime! Would definitely recommend and will be returning next Christmas!

Fantastic service and food once again, becoming a regular visitor with my running club, after doing a park run, the management are very accommodating even when there is a fair few of us.....thanks guys

Fabulous place, great service and food really tasty.

Food was amazing, great atmosphere and all staff were lovely and friendly, would definitely come again.

We haven't visited for a while but we weren't disappointed. The food was lovely and the staff were very friendly.

Review on behalf of the cruising couple! New to the town, I think they’ve found their new local! Friday night fish and chips for her, gammon and chips for him, two clear plates, the wine is good, the Guinness 0% welcome and the bonus blood orange G&T an absolute treat! They are both very happy and stuffed! (We also like the carvery!)

Good place for food and a great atmosphere. Also good for a meet up with friends.

Very clean, friendly staff, food is good value for money

Really nice food and plentyful great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Good value friendly staff well cooked food in large adult & small kids portions especially good value is their traditional carvey…oh and they do a good range of deserts but menu seemed to focus on “ice creamy” dishes like Banana Split, Knickerbocker Glory etc

Very friendly staff and dogs welcome

Would highly recommend booking for big parties. We had a table for 22 of us yesterday. The table had been laid out with Christmas crackers for everyone, and party bags with balloons for the little ones. We had pre-ordered our food from the menu and the service was great for both food and drinks. Really good value. It's also wheelchair friendly. Thank you to all the staff - we really appreciate your hard work.

Sarayah was very good, the food was amazing and the beer was perfect!

Great staff, good as expected but great value!

Cannot fault the place really, good value for money, waitress amazing, couldn’t offer a more thought And willing service, thank you

Great value Carvery, great quality too, fantastic value for money in my opinion.
