The Kynnersley Arms in Telford and Wrekin

We happen to drop in on the way past, we ordered Sunday roast with cauliflower cheese and pigs in blankets. It was excellent value, piping hot and a fantastic atmosphere with open fires!

Last week we had to do a fairly long detour to get back onto the A458 near Much Wenlock and going along the country road we saw a pub - The Mill at Leighton. We decided to come back a few days later and it was so worth it. My husband had whitebait, roast beef and ice cream and I had a veggie pie with an Eton Mess. Delicious food, comfortable surroundings and friendly staff. Certainly somewhere to return to with family and friends. Thank you.

Visited about 7 years ago whilst on holiday and it was average, we now live in the area and when we found out it was under new community ownership we thought we'd give it another try. So glad we did 🤩 First rate service, seriously excellent food and very dog friendly. It really is a fantastic pub with staff that care and know their drinks and menu, a nice mix of locals and passing visitors and I've never been to a pub that had treats and fresh water for the dogs bought to our table. The building also has a fascinating history.

Booked in for Mothers Day Lunch and it was very busy as expected. Fearing the worst, I was therefore delighted that the service and meals were still first class. Obviously very well managed and organised. Waiters all friendly, obliging and responded very well to a bit of banter. We will return. PS A shame that the Butty Bach was too moorish. Thanks.

Friend & I called in for lunch on Sat 19 November. I'd had a friendly voice when I booked by phone, and was met by a welcoming & helpful lady when we arrived. It was a cold day, so we sat by an open log fire. We're both real ale drinkers, so each had a pint from the selection of 6. Both were excellent, as were our meals when they arrived after just an appropriate wait. Pete had minted lamb hotpot, I had venison casserole with a topping of dauphinoise potatoes. Both were hot, tasty, and reasonably priced. We then coudn't resist the desserts! Service was prompt, friendly, and not intrusive. It's rare for me not to have anything to criticise, but this was one of those occasions. It's a super pub, and thank you. Just one thing - it would be helpful if the reviews could appear under the pub's changed name.

Now known as *THE MILL at LEIGHTON*; used to frequent this pub in the mid nineties as a close friend from University lived in the village. Have very fond memories of the establishment & wanted to show my wife, kids & dogs, as we were passing enroute back from Wales. New ownership now (five locals I’m led to believe), has given it a real boost. Friendly staff, nice assistant mangeress looked after us today, attentive young lad looked after us with food order. Couldn’t fault the experience; still retains the olde pub charm with beautiful mill, now great home cooked food, wine & cask ales. Well done to the team that now steer this wise ship…..in the past it had changed hands & the experience was unpredictable; it’s now a credit to the new owners & feel quietly confident it will do very well. First class! 👍

A good selection of well kept 5 real ales (including a mild or stout). Good homecooked food at reasonable prices. Recommend the Fish & Chips, the hand-cut chips are delicious. Dog friendly, family friendly. Very cool in hot weather!

We popped in over the weekend with our two dogs. We were made to feel very welcome and the staff were very professional. We waited quite a long time for our food to arrive even though it was pretty empty but it was worth the wait. My partner had a mixed grill and I had the salmon - both gorgeous. My only grumble was that my meal was a bit on the small side and I'd have liked more - because it was so nice! We would definitely come again.

Good honest pub food and beer, dogs are very welcome. Staff are very pleasant and the regulars. Large car park

we were told about this pub by our hotel, the staff were friendly and the food very nice, very quiet when we were there but that would not stop us going back

Our group have been a few times over the years to have a meeting and a get together, combined with a lunch and a pint or two. I missed the last visit here, so pleased we had another one booked back in November last year. I believe the venue has changed hands recently. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal and pint. Good food, beer, excellent service. We felt welcome from the moment we entered. I will look forward to another visit in the not too distant future.

We went along to our local, to join in with the Christmas festivities that out local landlady and her staff put on. Wow! What an excellent night. Fantastic food served for 60 people ( there about’s) Becky the manager certainly knows how to throw a party ! and so do her staff. The place looked magical all set in clean, festive tablecloths and all the trimmings. The chef cooked everything to perfection and her staff were extremely professional. I would recommend anyone who wants to throw a party to book it at our local, nothing is to much trouble for her and she certainly will go far with this establishment. Well done Becky! Keep up the good work. You deserve all the praise you had last night. All the best for Newyear and I’m sure the celebrations at the Kynnersly will be one to be remembered with all your efforts and amazing support from your fantastic staff.

We booked lunch for 14, including a baby, and could not have been made more welcome. The pub is decorated beautifully for Christmas, the open fire was blazing merrily and the staff could not have been more helpful. The food came out in very short order (we had pre-ordered) and everyone expressed how lovely it all was. The best thing in my view was that everyone was able to settle their own bill so I didn't get landed with the awful job of figuring out who owed what. Thank you! We'll be back next year.

Finally found a good value pub in Telford that is not part of a chain. Our kids had pasta/ sausage and chips for £5 which they both loved. We had rump steaks which were perfectly cooked with homemade chips, large mushroom and baby confit tomatoes, they were truly memorable, well done. For dessert we had chocolate fudge cake which was huge and very tasty. There is a good selection of wines too.

Fabulous food After a busy week at work we decided to eat in our local pub. The fires were roaring on a cold evening and the service and food excellent. It was so busy more staff were required behind the bar to avoid people waiting. We all enjoyed the food steaks, fish and chips and Mediterranean tarts which were delicious. Well done Becky and team Kynn.

We called in for lunch in midweek and we were very pleased that we did! We did book beforehand, but, being a Thursday, it was pretty quiet and so booking seems unnecessary. There is a good and varied menu and an excellent range of beers. Two of us had the Fidget Pie and one the Beef Stew, both were excellent and reasonably priced. The service was friendly and efficient. All in all a very nice lunch and we will certainly be calling again in the near future.

We booked a birthday lunch here for 17 people. The staff kept in touch, advised us on menus, and we pre-ordered to avoid any confusion. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we were made to feel very welcome. The food was incredible - all 17 guests loved their starters and main courses. From pizza to steak to modules, it was perfect! Beers were great too! We stayed for 5 hours and were looked after incredibly well. Thank you to all the staff for giving us such a great service! We'll be back!

Our local village pub which has been transformed by the Becki and the team over the past few months. We have eaten here a few times over the last couple of months and the food is excellent, such a change from last year.We are so lucky to have such a great local pub, a real community asset

We called in off spec as we were driving past. We had a wonderful home cooked Sunday lunch. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. Our German Shepard Flossie seemed to be a big hit too. We will definitely be going back as it is well worth the drive from Stourbridge.

We tried the steak night! Superb value but with no skimping on quality. Both steaks cooked to perfection and the melt on top really added to the meal. Lovely chips too with skin on. Lovely to be able to eat too with our dog! Looking forward to coming back soon. Well done to the staff who are doing a great job with good old fashioned customer service.

Our little local pub in Leighton had been radically improved since the arrival of Becky and Sean and chef Dan. A huge amount of effort went into organising yesterday’s family fun day and it was wonderful to see so much support from local people.

Exceptionally welcoming staff. Very attentive, excellent tasty food,great atmosphere good children's menu. Chocolate fudge huge portion and delicious. Will definitely come back highly recommended 5 stars.

What an unexpected delight. Stopped off for lunch on our way to Attingham Park. It was great to see a different menu from the norm.

A perfect Sunday lunch, staff were very attentive and food was hot and tasty, will come back soon. Thanks to all the staff.

All change at the 'Kyn' with new management and chef. Visited last night on the spur of the moment with family. Premises have had a 'senisitive' refurb and change round which works really well. Great to see the pub busy again, which did challenge the staff who made a couple of minor mistakes with the food, but were quick to put it right and both we and they accepted that it's all new and mistakes can occur. Six meals served quickly, hot and tasty. A really lovely comfortable family atmosphere. The new table layout seemed to work well and although tight in places, conversations remained private.

What the Kynnersley Arms has been waiting for! New Manager and new Chef! Lots of alterations with a complete new condensed menu in June to look forward to! Had a fresh, 10oz Sirloin Friday evening - cooked to perfection!

Historic building serving tasty good quality meals. Well kept best bitter. Popular with locals for a drink or game of pool, as well as having a separate eating area with simple rustic tables.

Lovely historic old building, log fire, local real ales, great traditional Sunday roast and very friendly and attentive staff. The Kynn exceeded our expectations!

Popped into this lovely country pub on the way back from a day in Ironbridge, was pleased with the cosy atmosphere and open fire on arrival. Ordered 2 roasts as it was a Sunday, one beef and one lamb at an additional price, which is fine. Biggest slice of meat I have ever been served in my life, although the lamb was a little bit fatty, everything else was perfection. Roasties, parsnips, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower cheese and even a Yorkshire and stuffing as standard as most places only serve Yorkshire's with a certain meat.

Sunday lunch was delicious and good value for money, beef was divine. Friendly staff and lovely ambience with real fire. Interesting pub with the original corn wheel to look, will definitely go back!

We decided to come here for dinner based on the reviews and the menu available on the website. First of all the pub was practically deserted but we were seated at a nice table by the fire. The menus were cheap and scuffed and a couple of items were actually unavailable (but staff were unaware of this until later). Saying "we can't find the whitebait" just sounds so amatuer. The beer was good with a nice selection and staff were attentive. The main courses though were very below par and a number of the party were left feeling disappointed with their selection. My slow roasted pork belly lacked any kind of crunchy crackling on top and the gravy was very generic and bland. The less said about the "seasonal vegetables" the better.

Went for a meal which was fine and staff were very nice but we ordered two double gin and tonics and added it to the bill. When we came to pay we were charged £19:60 for the gins alone, totally overpriced and we were not made aware of the price of them at any point. Thought we had been charged 4 times over for them as it showed £4:80 twice for each double on the receipt. Spoke to staff obviously new owners policy. Total greed comes to mind for a country pub, it's a shame.

We selected the “Kynn” on spec as we had not been there for over 30 years and we were most pleasantly surprised.

We all got together for an evening and were really surprised with the amount of effort to ensure we all ate together. Service was fantastic, food was amazing and what more could you need.? Definately booking again soon, Thankyou team Kynnersley xxx

This pub describes itself as a country pub & kitchen.

We had just been to much wenlock to visit the priory etc...however at 2.30pm we wanted food, NOWHERE was serving food. After some researching we came across this beauty!

I'm always a little hesitant when trying out a new pub, but would highly recommend the Kynnersley Arms. We received a lovely welcome and the food was delicious. Thank you

We visited on the way home from a camping holiday in North Wales. The reception was a little cool and the staff appeared to be under stress. We ordered food and were shown to a table, it was very quiet when we sat down but were told it was busy however we could clearly see it wasn't. We had to wait an hour for our food so we were not very happy about this.

50 minutes for 2 completely wrong sandwiches, fresh food on the floor outside the kitchen in boxes, completely disorganised staff who have absolutely no idea how to run a pub/restaurant. The staff spend most of their time scurrying about in the freezer trying to find something to cook. No apology offered for incorrect meal, would have accepted issues had it been very busy but there was 4 tables in the entire restaurant. They did offer to remove the sandwiches from the bill but could not confirm when new sandwiches would arrive so did not want to sit hungry for another hour or so so we left. Will not return.

Omg the food here was AMAZING! Went on Thursday evening with my family for a drink but then we ended up having some food. I had the minted lamb burger and it was cooked from scratch and it was just amazing food! Would 100000% recommend to anyone wanting properly cooked good food. Priced fairly for what your getting too!

Another lovely visit to the Kynnersley Arms today. There was a large choice of specials. For starters we have the mushrooms stuffed with leeks and cheese and the kedgeree balls. Tasty, delicious and just the right amount. For mains the cod mornay was wonderful tangy comfort food and other guests enjoyed the vegetarian moussaka and the Spanish stew. I have to add the chips we’re wonderful and home made. Service was very prompt for home cooked and there was a nice selection of beers and gins. Will be back soon.

There aren't enough words to describe how amazing the food was. Lovely home cooked meals that were just so tasty. Great friendly atmosphere. Drinks a bit pricey but very nice. Well worth a visit. Highly recommended.

As a vegetarian I was delighted to have a large choice! The menu was huge, and when I saw how larger was including specials, I thought they could possibly produce so many things at high quality. I was wrong....the vegetable moussaka was divine (portion too large for me though) and the other main meal also very skilfully prepared and cooked. We were very impressed with the service along with the quality if the meal....better than many far more expensive and more pretentious places. I think the eating area might benefit from a bit of 'lightening', as the building is dark, and some more thought with interior design e.g. new carpet. However, that was not a major issue and n the important areas of customer service and food they were extremely good.

A warm welcome always greets us here at The Kynn. Great atmosphere, food every day with a Carvery on Sundays - What more could you ask for......

Absolutely stunning Sunday Lunch here today. Staff very friendly and so accommodating. Chef came out on a few occasions to chat and see how our food was. So friendly.

I thought this place was great, they have a lovely menu and lots of different options even for the kids. I would definitely come here again, all the staff were pleasant and very welcoming, the food was wholesome and very enjoyable. A fabulous place to take the whole family.

Came here last night and ordered food to be disappointed once again. The salad had wilted and looked like it was dried, the chips were brown and dry on the inside to be honest they looked like reheated leftovers out of the bin, very poor quality. This is not the first time we have ate here. We were disappointed on our last visit also but were convinced to return due to them recruiting a new chef. Such a shame, such a nice pub but definitely needs a new atmosphere, a homely welcoming one that you would expect from a country pub.

Visited here last night, was impressed, with meal , so desided to return

A nice family run restored old pub, still has it waterwheel and the remains of a blast furnace in the cellars, accessible from the car park.

We had booked a table for 2pm but arrived at 1pm but the staff were happy to seat us. Only a carvery is available on a Sunday with a choice of beef,pork,turkey or a veggie alternative. Unfortunately the servery was broken so the plates were brought to the table with separate dishes of vegetables. The service was very good and at £9.95 for the main course good value.

When we arrived we saw the black board with jug of pimms, we asked for a jug of pimms to be told it's not available today.! So we chose other drinks. We have been here before and our expectations were high as we had a really good meal several times. I have to say that this visit was way off, The food delivered was not as expected. The Battered Fish was over cooked or the fat was dirty as it was very dark, and we asked if it was home made as the appearance was quite odd. The lady chef then said that it was and produced the batter and fish. The Belly of Pork, was ok but the Crackling was very chewy and the gravy had loads of thyme in it which was over powering. At no point did the waitress ask if everything was ok. She was sitting at the bar polishing cutlery and talking to colleagues, so our plates were not cleared! We then went to the bar and asked to pay. What a shame as before we had always praised the venue.

Excellent food and service with a very full interesting menu. My portion was too much for me so I accepted the offer to box and take the remainder home as it had all been freshly cooked.

Staying at a local farm, my partner and I took the short walk to the pub for dinner on a Friday night. Very busy, we were welcomed and quickly seated for dinner. The food was fantastic and the service was great. The staff all very accommodating and friendly. Having one more night in the area we could have gone anywhere else on the Saturday night but we decided to come back. The food was very nice on both occasions - many compliments to the chef! Overall, our two experiences here were faultless. Fantastic food (surprisingly cheap too), great atmosphere and excellent service. Would recommend, and visit again ourselves should we be in the area. Thank you!

Lovely warm welcome and friendly. Whole family had the Cavery, loads of fresh vegetables and meat. Gammon was particularly good and manager made sure there was plenty of food available when we went up.

Gone for a drive and got lost we were wondering were we could find a spot of Sunday lunch when we came on the kynnersley arms advertising an all day carvery. We went in on spec and the landlord gigged the tables about to fit us in as they were full.The food was tasty no skimping on the meat. I don’t know if it’s under new management but they certainly made us welcome and there was another surprise the low bill

Turned up as 'walk ins', were greeted in a friendly manner and the owner found us a table without any fuss. The atmosphere was warm and friendly.

Enjoyed our evening meal. All our group found their food tasty. Homemade Sticky toffee pudding brill! Reasonably priced too.

After a long country walk with a good friend, we called into the Kinnersley Arms for lunch. I'd not visited for over 45 years (!)...I'd moved away....and we discovered a great pub! There was a warm welcome, a great pint of Three Tuns Best, a delicious light lunch and good conversation. We'll be back and if you're in the area do drop in. You'll have a great time!

テルフォード駅から車で15分と少し離れているが、アットホームな雰囲気のイタリアン&パブのお店でした。料理はボリュームがあって美味しかった。ただ、頼み過ぎには注意です！

Devilled kidneys followed by curried goat - what a wonderfully tasty meal at a reasonable price. Warm welcome and good customer service - well worth a visit

7 of us went tonight to celebrate my birthday and my sons birthday! The staff were lovely and made us very welcome. The food was delicious and after the meal we were presented with two lovely platters of strawberries covered in chocolate for our birthdays! Lovely place we will be back very soon!! Thanks to the waitress who was really kind even though she was extra busy!!

Visited for first time to sample the carvery. The Beef and Turkey, which we both had, were both very succulent and tasty. Smaller choice of vegetables than some other places but still very nice. Quite pleased overall with our visit although would of preferred a little more space to where we were seated as person sitting on next table I could reach out and touch!

We attended at the request of our son for his birthday meal. We have not been for around 18 months, because the last time we went the food was not that good and the service was poor. I was surprised when I looked on line for their menu to discover it said the place was permanently closed! I rang to confirm they were open and booked the table. We had an EXCELLENT evening. The waiting staff were very good and friendly, the food was excellent with plenty of choice. As my sons 3 yr old daughter was with us, I did hope it was not going to be a ‘chips with everything ‘children’s menu, and it wasn’t, there was plenty of choice for her. All in all a lovely evening and a venue we will be returning to.

Out & about with a colleague from work looking for lunch in the area ready for of our next visit. Found this little gem. We had so much choice of great food choices, all the food I could see others eating looked very impressive too....

It’s not often that a venue lives upto the reviews after all every place can have an off day, but I have to say that our visit lived upto the reviews on here. Great service, welcoming staff, freshly prepared food with good portions. What is...

The staff were very welcoming and friendly, the food and service were fantastic and great portion sizes, we had a very enjoyable afternoon and felt very relaxed

We went for a Sunday lunch time carvary. It’s our second visit and both times we have been very happy with our experience. The food is excellent and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend.

Lovely meal great service and very welcoming highly recommend the steak. Always enjoy eating here cosy atmosphere and great staff.

As a family, we really love the Kinnersley Arms. The Sunday carvery is wonderful and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. I can't recommend this place enough.

Visited last night; upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the manager and were shown to our table promptly. The decor of the restaurant and the vibe inside were second to none. Food and drinks were served promptly and tasted amazing. Unfortunately had no room...

Amazing and stunning. Superb selection of beautifully cooked meats and vegetables. Great value for money. Friendly country pub. Will definatley be going again

Just stopped for lunch at The Kynnersley Arms. Lovely warm welcome. Friendly people. Dog friendly. Had soup and topside of beef sandwich. Kids had pizza and sausages and mash. Very tasty and good sized portions. Good value. Great find. Would return when nearby.

Lovely carvery, beef was cooked well vegtables were great. Sweets were also nice, we would return, we thought the price was a touch high at £16.95 for two courses.

Booked dinner, and it was a good idea as it was quite full.Roaring fire,very funny waiter Paul, and very efficient bar maid, food better than i expected from the other reviews i read, all in all a great night.

Came here with my brother and sister in law and had a fantastic meal . My brother can be very picky when it comes to eating out , however he couldn’t fault the food and was very impressed. He had the runny scotch egg with...

Visited again. Didn’t disappoint. The lemon and Parmesan crusted hake just melted in your mouth. Lovely cosy fire on a cold winter night was great.

I stopped here for some food on Sat night, food was tasty with big portions and a nice atmosphere. Will visit again!

What a cosy, relaxed place to have lunch. Home cooked food, local ales, & all with a real freindly service. Definitely go there again. Lucky locals, having this as their local.

Just had a great lunch, staff really helpful and friendly.

Came with friends today to have a carvery and as always the team at the Kynnerdley did not disappoint..... delicious! Choice of 4 beautifully cooked meets, 5 veg, all the trimmings and gorgeous gravy.... what more could we ask for and all for less than a tenner a head .... on top of that the pub has s lovely atmosphere and the open fire was roaring #blissful

We had a great meal, I couldn't fault the food. The main menu has enough choice from with some specials on the board as well. Service perhaps a little slow but we were in no rush. Price is very reasonable considering the quality. It also has the friendly relaxed atmosphere of a local pub. Good real ales from Woods and Three Tuns. Quite why anyone would go to the Grazing Cow in Lawley when this place is 10 minutes away I'm not sure. We will be returning. Telford needs more pubs like this.

We have been meaning to visit the Kynnersley Arms for several years simply out of interest and because of the connection to our family name. We weren't disappointed. We were made to feel very welcome by the manager and his staff. We enjoyed looking around and were fascinated by the history of the place. There aren't many Inns that can boast a corn mill dating back to the Domesday book!! The Sunday carvery was excellent and well worth the hour and a half travel time that we had. Fresh vegetables, beautifully cooked meat and delicious trimmings. The children loved seeing their name "up in lights" so to speak and it really made for a lovely day out for us. Oh.....and the profiteroles were the best we've ever had!!

Called in for lunch. Homemade soup was lovely but sausages and mash was superb. Sausages were locally made and gorgeous. The mash had the chef's secret ingredient and was very tasty. Portions were big and it came with peas and carrots. Good menu and locally brewed beer. Highly recommended.

Wonderful freshly prepared vegetables, meat and potatoes served with choices of sauces and accompaniments. Hospitality very welcoming and surrounding very congenial to spending many a relaxing hour at this wonderful hostelry. Many more visits on the cards, don't change a thing.

We visited this pub on the way into Telford so only stopped for a main course.

We visit this lovely old pub on a regular basis but have only just started to go for the Sunday carvery which can only be described as TOP DOLLAR! A choice of 3 meats and plenty of variety of veg at a great price - what more can you ask for?

Fantastic hospitality by very attentive staff. Delicious food beautifully presented.

This real country pub has to be the best place in Shropshire for real home cooked Sunday dinner in a very warm and friendly setting, you have the choice 3 meat's and a great choice of fresh locally sourced vegetables then there's the home made meaty gravy to top it of.

On recommendation we booked for 4 of us .We were swiftly shown to our table,which was tucked in a corner by the window, plenty of room for us all.

I went with a group of friends. I had a 3 course meal - all divine especially the chutney and the steak and the heavenly white chocolate profiteroles. I thought it was excellent value for money. The staff were attentive but not pushy. The atmosphere was very pleasant - no loud music, no loud people and a cozy log fire. The Christmas decoration was very tasteful . Would I go back next week? In a heartbeat! Will I be going back? Definitely!

We passed the "Kyn" on Saturday afternoon purely by chance on our way home having decided to take the back roads. We spotted the signs for their Sunday carvery so booked in on Sunday morning.

We called when passing as we had not been to The Kynnersley Arms for many years, we had a good lunch, the food was good and plentiful, nice atmosphere and pleasant staff. Would definitely call again.

This pub is an old corn mill, the location is lovely. The inside décor is nice with lovely old wooden tables. We were there to meet friends that we had not seen for a long while. We never felt that we had to hurry our meal and get out. The service was great, albeit the chef was new and our meal took some time in coming. Not that we were worried. The owner bought us a round of drinks as our meal was a long time coming. The food was good when it did come. We had a lovely relaxing afternoon with very attentive (and apologetic) staff.

Very good attentive staff but reminded us of Fawlty Towers but a pub .. Not good to see the staff carrying plates and pots through where you are eating to a wash room back of the pub..

Chose to visit on the strength of some very good recent reviews, what followed was one of the worst lunches I've ever had.The menu was very extensive, the specialities were the pasta dishes but they also offered some "old faithfuls", from these my father had the pan fried liver and bacon while I had the "slow roast" pork belly. Both were disappointingly small portions. My pork belly was not as described on the menu, it was not slow roasted, instead of being very tender, it was tough, there was no apple sauce compote, the black pudding mash was cold and the sage jus minimal, leaving the dish dry. We had asked earlier about the sweet menu and were told we would be given it after our mains, it didn't come, I had to ask for it. We both chose the tiramisu, it took over half an hour to arrive. The beer was expensive and one of the cask ales, although not sour, was cloudy - I could have returned it but by this stage I just wasn't bothered.I did register a complaint about the poor quality of the food and the bar manager did speak and seemed genuinely concerned. Maybe it was just a bad day for the pub, it was busy and they looked to be understaffed but it is hard for any pub / restaurant to offer such an extensive menu and guarantee freshly prepared and good quality food, it's better to concentrate on a smaller number of dishes and get them right.
