The Haughmond Village Store And Cafe in Shropshire

From the moment we were greeted we knew we were going to have a great meal. The staff were attentive without being intrusive. The food was beautifully presented without being over fussy. We felt like we had plenty of time between courses without feeling rushed but neither were we left unattended. The food ( the reason for our visit) was amazing, stunning to look at, but most importantly tasting just as good as it looked. Definitely worth many return visits.

The Haughmond has much to recommend it, from the warm welcome from Mel and her team, to one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had - amazing eggs and a special breakfast board full of treats ahead of the main event - we forgot to ask where the eggs were from. We stayed in the Muntjac room - facilities were fine, bed was comfy, lovely views over the fields towards the Wreakin. We ate in the in-house restaurant in the evening . Food cooked by Mel’s husband was really very good - we both had French onion soup followed by cod. The wine was also delicious and reasonably priced. Service again was friendly, warm and attentive . Can’t fault this place for the price - definitely recommend for a lovely night away in the country that won't break the bank - we combined it with a trip to Shrewsbury which is around 15 mins drive away.

The location of the hotel is spectacular. So peaceful. The good points; the staff could not do enough, they were perfect. The food - I had the cod and it was cooked well but not sure about the warm tartar sauce. The dessert - a set cream was the best dessert I have had in a long time. Breakfast was good - I had the porridge which saw me through past lunchtime. So the food and the service were good. The following is subjective - on entering the hotel there was a distinct smell of drains. The doors to the rooms have to be slammed shut otherwise they will not lock. The 2 rooms I went into were bijoux but they have to fit into the existing structure so I would expect that. The beds were very uncomfortable. The mattresses failed to give much support and it felt like you were sleeping on the base of the bed. The stairs up to the rooms are quite steep and support is only on one side and would not be suitable for anyone with moderate to severe physical difficulties - however they do offer rooms on the ground floor.

This is a lovely restaurant and this was our third visit.Food is fresh and delicious .Beautifully presented .Definitely highly recommend

We visited this restaurant on our monthly date night. I found it in the good food guide so had high expectations. I’m glad to say that I was not disappointed. From arriving to a friendly welcome to finishing my meal with a coffee it was superb. The service was attentive without being overbearing. The food was outstanding. Full of flavour and expertly cooked and presented. Everything had flavour in abundance. We look forward to returning.

5 of us for lunch, lovely menu we all chose different things from the lunch set menu. All really enjoyed our meal, great service, not rushed, perfect!

We visited The Haughmond in December for lunch. We had been previously in the same month and decided to revisit, despite some of the service team being a little brusque, as the food was super. We left sadly disappointed. Once again we found one or two of the service team to be a little aloof. It is obvious (and right) that there are a lot of local villagers who come to The Haughmond and the best welcome and service is lavished on them. 'If you're in, you're in' :-) On the whole, the ambience, service and food are very good - but if you are going to visit please ensure you request NOT to be seated at the table behind the bar, next to the kitchen service door. It is quite the worst able I have been seated at and totally ruined our lunch. The table is next to the kitchen door where the service team run their constant deliveries to the main restaurant - which you cannot see or enjoy the ambience of as you are seated well away from the main body of the restaurant. There is constant chatter from the kitchen and service team as well as having the main cutlery draw nearby and also the coffee station - more chatter. I even got the Gavin and Stacey spoiler whilst one particular cappucino was being created. It is such a shame as the potential for this pub / restaurant to be amazing is spoiled by one or two of the service team and that damn awful table.

The Haughmond continues to be excellent, with fantastic food, fast, efficient service, delivered with a smile. The pub deserves to be recognised as one of the best pub/restaurants in the Shrewsbury area which is owned and run by the landlords.

We had an amazing meal here, the food was stunning, you could not find a single fault. All 4 of us were blown away by the quality of the food and great friendly service. 10/10, see you guys soon!

The Haughmond never fails to deliver an excellent dining experience. We were made to feel welcome and the staff have the ability to make you feel you are visiting a dear friend's home. Nothing was too much trouble. The Christmas Festive lunch menu was outstanding the food was faultless. Thank you for making our special lunch so enjoyable. Richard, Sarah and Lottie

Stopped during visit to area. Really friendly staff and coffee very nice. Not much for a village shop as hoped to get a few items in for the duration of stay.

Great relaxing lunch. Plenty of choice, and we really were spoilt for choice. Relaxing atmosphere and great. service, first rate all round, thank you

Very slow. Two cooked breakfasts arrived and we were then told they had no black pudding. Toast arrived some time after and tomatoes turned up randomly 5 minutes later. Smoked salmon and scrambled egg arrived 10 minutes after other meals with no brown toast. When I asked for it was told it was a side order. Checked the menu and it said should be on toast so requested again. By the time it arrived I had eaten everything else to stop egg going cold as it took 7 minutes. Not very impressed with quality of bacon or sausages.

popped in whilst I was out walking and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I had a lovely freshly made coffee and a toastie. The coffee and both the sandwich were delicious. It was lovely and cosy and warm and clean in there. Will definitely pop back :)

We’ve had an afternoon tea at the coffee shop and it was absolutely delicious. Beautiful, homemade scones, sandwiches and cakes. Everything was really really yammy. Staff lovely and made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you very much for a great afternoon.

Always enjoy visiting here. Theres always a gluten free cake option to have with your tea before a walk around the village

Stopped here for a coffee and sandwich on a bike ride. Apart from being overcharged(again) the sandwich was poor. The bread was stale and the crusts were inedible. Think they freeze the bread and microwave it to thaw. Need some quality control on service and food.

Firstly I was greeted by well presented,friendly staff ,I found the food and drink I needed with ease,the products were reasonably priced .The shop itself had a nice relaxing atmosphere.Highly recommended for all age groups.10/10 Darren

I regularly call here on a cycle ride. If I do one of my favourite routes this is about two thirds of the way on a 100km ride. Justifies a stop for excellent coffee and a Rocky Road, or other excellent cake. Everything here is perfect for cyclists beginning with the cycle racks outside, and the warm and friendly welcome. Scenery and cycle routes are all good.

Stayed in the adjacent Haughmond Hotel and popped in here for a coffee and cake. Great coffee and hot chocolate and the home baked cakes are awesome.

Had a great ice cream and family had a curry sausage roll which I personally think tasted like onion but that’s just down to taste and everyone else liked it. My only one criticism is it was a hot day and I just wanted a cold apple juice nothing fizzy but had to end up with a room temperature sprite and I was kind of disappointed as they could of just put a few fruit shoots in the fridge.

Purchased gift vouchers with no terms and conditions nor an expiry date. Went to use the £30 voucher and would not honour. What a waste of money! I suggest you either add t&cs or an expiry date.

During the lockdown when queuing outside supermarkets was becoming very tiresome I checked whether this farm shop was open. It was and i took the short drive. Amazingly it had flour! As well as the fresh vegetables and free range eggs I needed I was able to get a drink and relax on the bench outside, the only time I had a cup of tea away from home. They had managed the corona security well with an entrance and exit door and distance marking and accept contactless payment for even small purchases. I can't wait until they reopen for afternoon teas.

Great little well stocketd shop and takeaway refreshments including hot and cold drinks All excellent.

Lovely friendly stop to rest and fuel up on your bike ride. Don’t miss it. A regular stop for us. Plenty of fresh food and choice.

We called in for a Sandwich & drink. The young lady was friendly & the sandwiches really delicious. Lots of homemade produce for sale. Lovely cafe.

First visit of the year for coffee/tea and cake at this lovely Tea room. Cinnamon & Apple cake with clotted cream hit the spot. Great to see a steady flow of cyclist. To all at Tea room have a great 2020.

Best coffee and bacon sarnie or sausage for miles, a very helpful lady that runs it with local produce!

Popped in for an impromptu lunch which we really enjoyed and ended up buying some of the hand made craft ware as well. We will be going back.
