The Maltings Cafe in Shropshire

We always love the food, reasonable prices and good service, but the Maltings is currently closed. So my advice is to check before going.

The food absolutely delicious, the staff and serving 10/10. I always go there with my family. Best place to have breakfast.

A wonderful little, friendly cafe and one of our favourite places to visit with our two year old granddaughter. Nothing is too much trouble -very good value for money.

The lovely staff went over and above for us. They saw we had a fragile elderly man in our group and swooped to get a better chair for him and even brought the Specials boards to us! Amazing food and experience. Shame we don’t live closer to use them more.

So shocked by the rudeness and surliness of staff (middle aged male and female) that we walked out without ordering. We were a family party of six. As we approached an empty table we were curtly informed it was reserved (even though there was no card to indicate this). We found another table, only to be snarled at again that this table was reserved from 1.30 p.m. As it was only 12.45 and we only wanted sandwiches, we said we were sure we would be finished by then and sat down. This table was in a dark corner, so I got up to stand under a light in order to read the menu and was told I was blocking the way to the cutlery. I shifted slightly and was told I was now blocking the way to the counter. I returned to my seat, and enquired whether it was table service or should we order at the counter. The waitress did not reply to the question, but simply snapped that she was busy serving another table. It was obvious that we were not welcome and, as we would not have enjoyed food in such a sour and unpleasant atmosphere, we got up and walked out in disgust.

Great menu, great service and tasty good value food. What more could you want. This cafe comes highly recommended!We had lunch there then walked around the town and the castle before heading back to the cafe for steam puddings.

We really enjoyed our lunch visit at the Maltings Cafe after our scenic walk around Clun whilst on short break in the area. The setting and food were equally wonderful. My partner and I ordered soup and a sandwich which was both hearty and delicious as well as being great value. This is our 3rd visit in the last 6 months and each time our experience has been outstanding!

Staying in Clun, “The Maltings Cafe” offered the best breakfast by far. The food and service were so good, we came back, after our walk, for tea and cake. We loved Sarah’s knitted tea cosy. Service was efficient and friendly. Definitely recommend a visit.

We all enjoy the food & coffee, mum having the soup and my wife & I having the lamb casserole, the food & service first class. Hope to return to this lovely cafe in Clun.

Fabulous home cooked food, great portions, lovely friendly waitress, only small but adds to experience. We had huge jacket potato, an open toasted sandwich both with lovely fresh salad, husband had chocolate brownie which he said was lovely and squidgy

Lovely cup of tea, varied & interesting menu, 6 bean Smokey chilli hot pot yummy, jacket potatoes , open sandwiches, soup of the day and even a Specials Board. Such a quaint little cafe.

Brilliant food at a reasonable price, can't fault the wonderful service very welcoming. Nice that there is a customer toilet even if a small cafe so many don't have this

Cafe serving restaurant standard food, sublime. Astounding taste & service. Some of the best food we have ever tasted. Would love them to open for supper evenings. Specials board is the place to be.

Fabulous little cafe - we were lucky to get the last table - clearly popular! Range of soups, with filled baguette, reasonably priced and fresh tasting. Quirky tea cosies! Good atmosphere, very welcoming. Dog friendly too! Clun is lovely.

Lovely little cafe-perfect stop on route to our break in Chepstow. Soup was lovely and service great. Very good value for money.

What a fantastic place to eat and drink. The service was good and the food superb. A really great choice or home made dishes and cakes.

A lovely lunch spot in a beautiful village. Soup was literally best I’ve ever had! Really affordable, great service. Can’t fault a single thing!❤️🤩

Warm and welcoming, a delightful cafe. Service with a smile. Our small dog was offered water and a treat. Extensive menu, food freshly cooked, beautifully presented and totally delicious. Excellent value. Thank you.

Food was really enjoyable, portions were just right, staff were really friendly and the service was quick.

We picked this tearoom from the Tripadvisor reviews and we're pleased to say we wholeheartedly agree ..this is friendly place with delicious food at reasonable prices.

Visiting Clun for the first time, we were in need of refreshment. What a lovely welcome we received for ourselves and our dog. He was given water and a treat, so kind and thoughtful. The food was excellent : pea and mint soup for myself with a soft brown baguette and butter. My husband went for the Ploughman's Lunch which was generous and delicious. The tea cosy for my tea was a delight. Genuinely a very pleasant atmosphere and wonderful service.

I would recommend this cafe for all! The people that work there are very welcoming and friendly. This cafe is the best I have been to. The atmosphere was great and the food was so fresh and tasty. Excellent value for money ! Very welcoming to dogs and children too ! You can get what you like, but they finish breakfast at 12:00.

Having popped in on Monday, we had to return and try something else from the menu. The open toasties were excellent (highly recommend the tuna mayo 😁) and the friendly service was second to none. Heading home tomorrow and we're considering the breakfast before we go...

Fabulous service and great food! We popped in for lunch because of the great reviews, and it certainly didn't disappoint. So we came back a couple of hours later for afternoon tea! Very friendly and welcoming, delicious home cooked food. Apparently the breakfasts are great too, so we'll be back again to try them!

This lovely café in Clun is set in a picturesque village that is well worth a visit. The staff were very friendly, it is warm and welcoming, the tea was lovely and I heard many patrons complimenting their food as I sat reading my book by the counted/till area. Well worth a visit.

We regularly eat at the Maltings. The food is fresh and perfectly cooked. The chef also adds little touches that help presentation and make the meal more special. We often have a breakfast. Sandwiches and mains are also good. The desserts are delicious.

Visited on a sunny day and sat outside. I ordered a ham & tomato sandwich, and it was well presented with coleslaw & crisps. My husband had soup with a ham baguette and really enjoyed it. When you order tea, it's a nice suprise to...

The menu changes regularly and there is always lots to pick from. Ranges from full meals to lovely snack, the soup is superb. Cakes are delicious too.

This cafe is first class. The breakfast is excellent and the specials board has loads of home cooked warming meals for all tastes. I can't recommend this cafe highly enough. It's a must for travellers and locals.

Called here after morning walk, nice dog friendly cafe. Pleasant staff, really lovely food. Can definitely recommend.

A really nice cafe in an old building with character. The food was obviously freshly prepared with good ingredients and very tasty. So reccommended

I would give this 6 stars if it were possible. Lovely ambience, friendly staff and superb food. I had the sausage baguette which was so filling. Definitely a highlight of the holiday.

We were not disappointed when we went for breakfast there on the final day of our holiday, we all had varying breakfasts and were definitely not disappointed, orange juice and toast and marmalade, lovely touches! Service could not be faulted! Would give them 10 out...

Passing through we decided to stop and know we have now found our stop over every time we do this journey. We both ordered sandwiches which came on a large plate with side salad and crips. Beautiful fluffy thick brown bread sandwiches with excellent ingredients....

Wonderful lunch, fantastic staff, a great experience on a lovely sunny day. Paid a visit after the usual cafe in clun was too busy. Was a great meal and staff were wonderful. Will be back again, great find. Thank you

Fantastic food, lots of choice and very friendly service. I had the bigger breakfast which was delicious and very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend!

Lovely little cafe doing good sized meals as well as lighter lunches etc. Sadly I had ordered food before I spotted the specials board and so would have liked to have had this pointed out to us.

Absolutely lovely cafe, you get so much more than the menu may imply. Here a sandwich is very generous in portions and quality with an excellent, interesting salad and crisps to boot. Staff were welcoming. We sat outside but the road is really quiet so...

Excellent food and friendly service. Take all my family and friends who have always enjoyed their visit

Such a lovely cafe! So friendly, lovely seating outside and incredible soup selection. Teas served in pots with fun tea cosies. Look no further!

Visited here as a cafe stop on a long bike ride in the area. Great place for coffee and a cake, would definitely go again.

I popped in for a takeaway Americano yesterday and was tempted by their fabulous range of home-made cakes, so I chose their fruity fruit cake. The slice was generous in size and mouth-wateringly delicious. Coffee and cake both at a good price. Have previously visited...

Really excellent food and very reasonably priced. The service was very good. Would definitely recommend.

its the second time we have had breakfast here. Both times excellent. Lovely service and really good quality enjoyable breakfast.

Pretty, friendly and efficiently run place serving freshly made delicious cafe food.We visited on a sunny day & sat outside watching the world & characters of Club go by.Great place - highly recommended!Only thing missing was a pint of Three Tuns which handily enough the pub next door sells

We were recommended to visit this coffee shop by other members of our family and so we decided to pop in for lunch, I’m so glad we did because this coffee shop exceeded all my expectations!! The lady who served us was very friendly and knowledgeable; we have lots of dietary needs (gluten and dairy free) and sometimes this can be challenging, but this place was amazing! Their menu is very good and there were lots of options that each of us could eat, I can’t wait to go back for their breakfast after reading other reviewers comments. The brownies were so nice I had to buy one to take home with me! Will definitely be returning.

Still producing lovely food and a friendly atmosphere whilst adhering to Covid19 guidelines. We enjoyed superb sausage and onion sandwiches made from the most beautifully fresh bread. Then we returned after a delightful local walk for cake. Strawberry and cream Victoria sponge was delicious and so was the coffee and walnut. Lovely to see how the local community support this business , and how this business supports the local community.

I don't usually write reviews but I was so impressed when I visited the Maltings cafe Clun today and had their breakfast that I felt I had to share my experience. Well I must say that it was the best breakfast I have had out in at least the last couple of decades. Being in the catering industry for over 30 years I am a little bit picky always thinking how things could be done differently and maybe improved but I could not find fault with my visit.The staff were friendly and attentive and the premises were spotlessly clean and in these strange times it was a nice touch for each table to have its own bottle of hand sanitizer and disposable table cloths that were changed after every customer.As for my breakfast it was extremely hot so much so that it was still warm right to the last mouthful which is quite an achievement considering the size of the portion, 2 thick slices of toast and marmalade, 2 rashers of bacon, 2 very tasty sausages, a whole grilled tomato, a large amount of mushrooms, a cup full of beans a nice touch having them separate just incase you didn't want them taking over your plate and 2 golden eggs cooked to perfection. All washed down with a large glass of orange juice, I upgraded my tea/coffee to a steaming mug of hot chocolate which the staff were very happy to do for me it even came with a chocolate on the side.Looking through the menu it was extensive with plenty of things that took my fancy all at very reasonable prices, if my breakfast is anything to go by then I look forward to trying their other dishes.So all in all a very enjoyable visit and will most definitely be returning.Thank you and keep up the excellent work you are asset to Clun and show how things can and should be done.

Just had lovely lunch after morning tea earlier in the day. Very hospitable, great food and lovey cup of tea. Visit and support this great Little cafe.

We visited this afternoon whilst out on a cycle. We were welcomed as soon as we walked in and shown to a table. All tables are are socially distanced and each have hand sanitizer, so we felt very comfortable. We had hot drinks and cakes. The hot choc was especially nice and the cakes were all freshly baked and tasty. Would definitely visit again.

During a cycle ride yesterday, we noticed that The Maltings were doing takeaways. We knocked on the door, as requested and waited at a social distance. The owner came to the door and we politely asked whether they were selling coffee. He looked at us and abruptly shouted no, turned away and closed the door. Whilst they may not be selling coffee, I would expect a certain degree of politeness. I have used this cafe before but would never use it again and will advise others not to use it.

beautiful old fashioned cafe in a quaint little town . Home made food a lovely choice with friendly family run business ;

Delightful tea room with a delicious hearty menu. Usually several home made soups to choose from, and tasty mains such as Venison casserole. Welcoming with a lovely atmosphere and very reasonable prices. Highly recomended.

What a lovely find.. We were viewing property nearby and decided to pop into Clun to see what was there. After a short walk we saw this cafe and it looked really nice and welcoming from the outside. When we got inside the cafe was full and there was a nice atmosphere. We sat down and waited for the waitress to come over.The young girl who was our waitress was really polite and friendly. We ordered the Steak and Red Wine Pie and the Cheese and Red Onion Jacket Potato. Both meals were absolutely gorgeous. Couldn’t fault them in any way and the portions were really generous. We are hoping to purchase a property nearby and would certainly visit here again if that is successful. A delightful cafe with great food!

The Maltings is still my favourite cafe. It is friendly and the choice of soups is incredible and all homemade. There are some more traditional flavours, all fantastic and some which are different combinations of flavours, just superb. The quality is second to none. I usually take my mum who also loves it. It has a very lovely old world charm and very cosy. You won't be disappointed.

We were met with a warm, friendly greeting, followed by a hearty breakfast with excellent coffee. What more could you ask for on a cold December morning. Many thanks
