The Horse and Jockey in Shropshire

Lovely pub with excellent food. We arrived in a group of 7 adults and 3 children after my husband had just completed a sky dive for the Alzheimer's society. Even though we hadn't booked, we were seated very quickly, and the service was excellent along with the food 😀 I would definitely visit again! I would recommend you try the home made onion rings, they are amazing! Bit beware, don't order a portion each as we did, they're enormous! 🤣🤣

Food was absolutely amazing and was worth every penny. Servers were friendly and helpful. Great vegan options.

We had a fantastic lunch on Saturday. Great food, great service, great staff, great ambiance. Overall great!!

didn’t eat here but had a drink before and after a long canal walk - lovely pub -

Party of eight,lovely pub,lovely food,lovely staff, highly recommend

Really great place, everything you'd want from a modern country pub

Absolutely brilliant! First time we have been and can't believe we haven't been before! Made a brilliant and appreciated effort to do a dairy free dessert and all staff were incredibly friendly. All food was lovely. We'll be back! Thank you!

A very pleasant pub - called in from a narrowboat for an evening meal on Sunday. Roast beef was beautifully pink, and all the vegetables were piping hot. Excellent portion size too. Desserts were huge and very tasty.

Wonderful family run pub and lunch meal was excellent value and service 😀

Every time we stay near Malpas this is our go to pub. They really care about their food. Rosa Blanca on draft is a bonus too

Staff were lovely, welcoming, had roast beef, which was nice, and dogs were welcome, which was a bonus. . Dog friendly,

Very friendly young staff. Good selection of beers and Aspalls Cider. Food was amazingly fantastic!

Absolutely delicious with an pleasant atmosphere

We had great food, there was a good choice and the service was prompt and friendly

Lovely food and restaurant. Outside place is great to sit out and enjoy the sun 🌞

Fantastic meal and service. Stopped off for late dinner after going through Gringley Brook Lock on our canal holiday. Definitely one to put on your list if you are in the area. Bridge 28 if you are mooring up on the Shropshire Union.

Great experience, excellent food and dog friendly.

A friend recommended a walk along the canal (over the road from pub) then lunch in the horse and jockey. And I will happily recommend this as a good day out.

Great food and drink in friendly atmosphere 👌

This place is amazing! It's child and dog friendly. Varied vegetarian menu. Our server's were approachable and happy. The food was amazing!

Lovely stop for food after a walk to Whitchurch and back along the canal and sandstone trail. The food was absolutely phenomenal, great menu with a good variety and great prices. The steak was the nicest I've had in years. Great vegetarian options. And to top it off they are dog friendly, we will definitely come back.

I organised a surprise meal for my wife's 40th here, we were made to feel so welcome, and our brief visit (travelling through to North Wales from Bristol) was fantastic. The staff were great the food was top notch and we had a lovely time. The atmosphere and garden, although near a road was lovely. Thanks to all the staff 😁

Went in for pre-booked table for works meal. Food and atmosphere excellent. Good choice on menu. Recommend table reservation if you wish to eat in as this place does get busy.

The summer menu here is extensive for vegans, which is surprising considering the location. The bar is beautiful and cozy, and the staff is very attentive and kind. I had the vegan curry, which was very spicy and tasty, but lacking a tiny bit of curry flavor. For dessert I had a brownie with vegan vanilla ice cream. The brownie was a little dry, but had a great flavor, and the ice cream was amazing. Highly recommended!!

We visited here on two consecutive evenings. Both evenings as good as each other. The food was fabulous, tasty, well presented. Very good value for money and a well put together menu, good variety. The staff are very friendly and attentive,at the same time very professional. Cannot say enough good things about this place. Well worth a visit as you won't be disappointed.

As a solo female traveller with a dog, it’s not always easy to find somewhere where we both feel comfortable. However, my visit here on 12 July ticked all my boxes. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the menu was varied and very reasonably priced and the food was lovely. I had the Beer Battered Fish & Chips with Pea Puree which arrived beautifully cooked. Thank you 😊

Wonderful service! Food delicious! Good portions too! Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed the food. The Tandoori chicken flatbread was delicious & the service very good

Stopped by chance on the way back from Liverpool and wasn't disappointed

Great place serving delicious food, with lots of choices. Nice seating area outside and an enclosed grassed play area for the children.

Not the best Sunday roast, staff were friendly and efficient

Gave them a call to see if food was available while we were stuck in a que at the Petrol Station and gave a yes to food and a yes to dogs. Had sine great food with great waiter, and then we continued on our journey. We will definitely be calling back here!

Superb food and excellent service. Very attentive staff and lovely atmosphere.

Lovely place, staff were really friendly and chatty. My burger wasn't the best, but my partner's pie was absolutely delicious, he really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was good and we returned a couple of times to have a drink, while we were on holiday. And a lovely selection of ales too.

Great service, the staff are very friendly and look after everyone there, whether you are sitting in or out.

The best meal of our one week canal boat trip out of Trevor, Wales. The chef was the perfect ghost and the food was elegantly served and delicious! Worth the short walk for the stair-step locks.

Had to sit on tall seats evan with a 7 year old

Good food, staff were friendly and polite, highly recommended 😀

Delicious food in a lovely pub just a short walk from the canal.

Really great food and great service

Excellent food. Well run, family owned and operated. Great food selection, GF and vegetarian options. Well worth a visit.

Lively and friendly pub, serving good food and ale. Dog friendly. Cosy interior well worth a visit by boat, car or foot

Stopped here for lunch after grabbing cheap fuel at Roberts garage across the road. Looks welcoming and didn't disappoint. Great look and feel, friendly staff and the food was delicious 😋. We had 2 course, sides and a drink for under £50. Only dropped a star on atmosphere due to busy road and theres not a lot you can do about that. Plenty parking and dog friendly too. We'll be back!

Friendly People good food and drink. Not very good Cell service.

Excellent service and fantastic food. Only slight downer for us was unfortunately we had slightly badly behaved dog owners! Next to us

Great menu, good food, excellent service from friendly staff.

Brilliant pint, super-attentive staff

Absolutely stunning menu and some of the best food we've enjoyed at a pub. Will be returning to try out some more food from the extensive menu. You will not be disappointed.

Absolutely brilliant food, attentive and friendly staff, great drinks selection - what more could you want?!

Booked for a group of 10 for a birthday/ family reunion. The service was outstanding - the staff could have done nothing more to make it a wonderful afternoon. When brining the cake out, they even sang happy birthday and asked for the name of the person whose birthday it was so they could do it properly! Food quality was excellent (everyone had clean plates)! I visit my parents every couple of months as they live near Whitchurch and will definitely be going again, even if it’s just for a drink. Thank you to all the staff, we all had a great afternoon.

Food was really nice, just popped in when driving past but service was quick. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere

Excellent awesome friendly staff fantastic food

Very nice pub with pleasant staff and good food

Lovely food, great service and the atmosphere is relaxing. Always love a stop off after a visit to Chester.

Fantastic food, drinks and staff. Very dog friendly.

We have driven past The Horse and Jockey a few times and always thought it looks very inviting. As we were staying close by we thought we would give it a try. We went on a midweek evening, fairly late. The young man who took us to our table was very friendly and got us some drinks straight away. We were going to have some tapas as we'd been looking at the menu online, however, we went against our original plan when we read the full menu though. My wife had the duck breast with pickled rhubarb that looked and tasted like something out of a fine dining restaurant, outstanding. I went for a BBQ chicken breast which was incredibly tasty and superbly cooked. The service was excellent and the atmosphere very warm and friendly. We'll definitely be going back and wholeheartedly recommended.

Due to my allergies they adjusted part of the meal switched a sauce out for another. And put a part of another course on a side plate because they were not sure if I could eat it. Thank you.

Excellent service and food as always

Clean, friendly atmosphere. The food was good, extremely tasty; we had Sunday lunch. The plate was bountiful but well proportioned. Highly recommend, also book in advance for Sunday's.

Very welcoming with happy smiling staff. Good home-cooked food with a separate veggie menu and amazing choice if real ales and lagers. Very dog friendly.

Popped in to meet up with some friends, I didn't eat but some friends did and it all looked good.

Fantastic pub with a great atmosphere and super bar staff, thank you for a perfect meal and great service.

Went for the Sunday roast, it was tasty but I would say it would be small for a kids meal. I found my 2mm thin pork hiding behind the peas. Very poor value for money.

Dog friendly, always good to know.

We stopped in for an early dinner on our way home, after being on business further south for the afternoon. This place was easy to park up in, easy access (despite my husband's cast for a recent ankle break!) and warm and welcoming on arrival, with a friendly four-legged face greeting us at the door! It's a nice blend of a local type pub and a modern but characterful eatery. The staff were all very professional and helpful, and we were able to get a table for two straight away (at just gone 5pm on a Thursday evening) but there were quite a few reserved tables for later in the evening. The menu was nice, with some twists on the classic 'homemade gastropub-type food'. We went for a ribeye, and the fish and chips. Both came out quickly and were piping hot, presented nicely and well seasoned. The homemade 'proper' chips are just that...........and were delicious, along with everything else. The fish batter was crispy, and the side of crushed peas that came with it were tasty (and had an extra ingredient that I couldn't put my finger on, but provided a nice difference to the usual mushy peas). My husband was pleased with the steak that was super tender, cooked a perfect medium rare and had cherry tomatoes instead of the usual chunk of cold half tomato you normally get. We're looking forward to another visit to try something else and warm our cockles by the coal fire!

Nice place, tasty food just a bit pricey.

Stopped off here for lunch on the way home. Really good. Strongly recommended Table was a little small and awkward for getting legs under Cheap fuel prices at the garage opposite

Very good service nice people good food 👍👍👍👍👍

Didn't get to sample the pub because despite walking miles to get there and there google page saying that they were open they were not, and when I phoned the lady on the phone stated I was looking at the wrong website, now I like many others use the Google search engine and when you do you get a site stating open as did trip advisor, so before you make the journey please check if they are open, and just for the record while we were outside another person said they had traveled to get there and another car pulled in saw the closed sign and drove off, we update your web presence, remember google and trip advisor had you down as open

Great food and dog's allowed. Staff very friendly.

Greeted by friendly staff who's service throughout the evening was lovely. The food was gorgeous and very filling. The whole atmosphere was relaxed and chilled. Will be visiting again when back in the area. Thank you for a lovely experience

The homemade roast potato and sweet onion soup was amazing. Best soup I’ve had for a long time!

Business lunch for a great price, lovely and hot and served quickly. By staff who looked like they enjoyed working there

Good food and service. Recommended

Food was lovely, at first didn't think much of the menu, we went for the burger and tandoori chicken, lovely food, really enjoyed it, nice comfortable surroundings really pleased we'd stopped here on our way back from a busy day out at Chester zoo.

Very nicely furnished pub. Will stop again and have lunch when passing

Brilliant service. Family run pub. I have multiple food allergies, intolerances and EoE, which means my diet is very restricted. The service was amazing, and the food excellent. Very accommodating staff. Will definitely be back.

Called in as on a canal boat holiday had a great meal and a really nice pub with very polite and very friendly staff

Great pub with a welcome for all

Fantastic food! Great service too! Highly recommended.

Good selection of local(ish) beers as well the usual ten or so keg beer and cider offerings. I had a pleasant pint from the local (Stoke) Titanic brewery. A large venue made up of a number of semi detached rooms. Quite noisy although not very busy during my visit, Saturday 5pm, few soft surfaces to soften the echoes. Popular with parents of small children (who are allowed to wander about at will and shout and scream) hence three * for atmosphere. I didn't eat this time, but have before and it was fine.

Always delicious food and excellent service

They serve a nice pint of red stripe

Fantastic food. Quick service, but ut was a Monday mid afternoon. Would recommend 👌 The pork loin was delicious and so was ham, leek and cheese pie. Good size portions, reasonably priced

Quiet at this lunchtime. Amazing choice of quality food with large servings, veggie and non. Enjoyable

We visited about a month ago and I had a chicken dish on a bed of leeks and Savoy cabbage with tarragon gravy. It was possibly the best meal I have had out for months if not years. My partner was less hungry so just had soup but again, great flavours, lovely bread, great value!

Absolutely the most friendly and accommodating pub we visited along the canal, they were happy to seat a large party at fairly short notice and happy to be a little flexible about times as we were doing locks. The food was so delicious, and they were so kind to both the older member of our group and the little kids.

What a lovely place to eat. The staff are so lovely, and the manager is really good and knowledgeable. Thankyou.

Sadly more like a restaurant with a bar. Expensive beer but dog friendly. The food looked fantastic tho. Another pub lost to the food trade.

Booked lunch for eight adults and one child . Staff are friendly and happy to help. The roast beef Sunday lunch was delicious.Other guests had burgers etc The pub is dog friendly. Can't fault the place. They also have a diverse menu. Price about average. Recommended and will visit again.

Random drive out today came across the horse and jocky mid afternoon food on my mind .tastefully presented 5x front of house staff coffee look warm main meal tasty professionally presented. but needed a little more time cooked potatoes a little over cooked gravy vegetables spot on very fast service polite servers well dressed well worth a visit 5x from festers travels well done

Loved it! I had the summer salad, which was perfect. The misses had the pulled pork nachos, which were good, but unique (made with pita chips). We will definitely come back if we are cruising down the Llangollen Canal again.

Visited for a couple of drinks on a rainy day during a camping trip. Would’ve eaten if we hadn’t already as menu and food on tables looked good. Atmosphere was pleasant, lovely pub inside and dog friendly 👌🏼

Dog friendly pub within easy walk of the canal

My wife had a pleasant meal, but I had the morrocan lamb, which I can't recommend unless you like dry overcooked food. Staff were attentive and friendly but I can't say I would return.

We called in and had a lovely lunch, it wasn’t too busy so we had the pick of tables. The staff were excellent and very friendly especially the young lad that took our order. We will definitely call in again when we’re back in the area

Great beers, staff great. Had some Tapas,disappointed 🙁. Someone needs to show the kitchen staff the photos on the website. Good helpings on the photos but when they arrived at our table 😥tiny. Updated your website or up your portions.

Great little pub, Up to date decoration, very clean and tidy with good selection of ales and lagers Great service from the members of staff, excellent food well presented served in a timely fashion. Highly recommended

Very nice old pub. Didn’t eat but the food look good. Easy parking outside.

Lovely fresh home made food and polite staff. Service was quick. Great experience and great place for food.
