The River & Rail in Shropshire

Have tried to go 4x in the las few months and on October 01/23. Closed every time and the telephone number doesn't work

Despite it being signed from main road and Google confirming it was open from midday, this venue did not open. We won’t be trying here again.

Very good day out will do again next year

A nice place to call in for drinks etc. Whilst walking along the river seven.

Don't get drawn in by the promise of food. Unless you want a ploughmans or a sandwich you're out of luck.

Great place stopped here for a drink halfway I'm a canoe trip from Bridgnorth to bewdley and have eaten here before Friendly staff great food and beautiful location Highly recommend 👌

Just had a couple of pints while on a canoe trip. Garden was nice

Lunchtime - 2 choices - cobs or ploughman's. No real ale available. Cup of tea was mediocre - won't be rushing back at Sunday lunchtime

We called in after a walk on a very hot Saturday. Thought it was closed but it was open for drinks. Only food available was a pre-packed ploughman's, quality was good and it was fresh so did the job. Strange that there were no other customers on a sunny Saturday in such a good country location, but we then realised that it closes mid afternoon and were unable to get a 2nd drink. In summary it's a nice pub but check the opening hours.

Nice little pub albeit very quiet. It looks closed from the outside but was happy to find it was actually open.

We had afternoon tea here today, excellent service and lovely food, especially the scones! Definitely recommend a visit.

Great food and great friendly staff

Food was great, nice choice for a pub lunch and staff very helpful. 2 adults and 3 adults sized kids with soft drinks came to just shy of £80 which was great value considering one of us had a £20 steak and sauce.

Fabulous Sunday lunch, great service.

Excellent service lovely food could not fault any of the services or food will definitely booked to go there again

First weekend open after their winter break and brilliant again. Great menu, proper food for children and lots of attention given to the vegetarian options. Can't wait to go back.

Nicely located pub along the river, although you need someone who knows where they're going to get there. Sadly they couldn't make us food for an hour so could only have drinks

Call here every time we are travelling South lovely area right on the river and the steam train passes through nice outside seating food always good🙂

Rubbish service took over hour to order 6 drinks and food took even longer for sandwiches, will not be returning in a hurry. ----- Many thanks for your reply, to aid in a true reflection I'm glad you observed the canoeists, however I did not arrive on a canoe as that would have been irresponsible with a 3 week old baby and a dog that can't swim! I may have joined a table of friends that had been on the canoes as guided to by your staff. If others HAD pre booked it would have been nice to have been informed of this fact and the longer than expected wait time and I would have gladly made an alternative arrangments. I feel that in this scenario better communication would have been key. To a more pleasurable experience, along with greater allergen information supplied on arrival. To reflect on your response I have also amended the rating. Many thanks.

Stopped off here for lunch whilst canoeing down the river from Bridgnorth to Arley. There were 5 of us and we ate from the deli menu. Beautiful ciabattas, amazing chips and a lovely pot of tea. A special mention to the young man who served us, a credit to the place. Will definitely visit again, brilliant value for money.

Great food. Not much choice of ales and beers. Lovely overall.

Quick pop in for a pint and a spot of lunch. Very nice

Delicious beef sandwich, well kept beer and set in Woodland surroundings near the River Severn.

Lovely surroundings but service not great, Placed our order and when it arrived, it was the wrong beer and missing one pint. Thought they got the wrong table at first, but it wasn't.

Place looks a bit run down but don't let that put you off as the food and service is very good. Came out stuffed and not able to eat any more.

Lovely place with lovely staff, ate outside on a lovely day hearing the steam train whistling by, so nice thank you.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch pity there was no hot puddings but had a nice cheese cake

Lovely relaxing pub but could have cut the grass in the beer garden

Food great on the daily menu... Sunday dinner pretty poor cold food. On a whole slow service. Beautiful surroundings. Would go back but wouldn't order the Sunday lunch again.

Stunning area of outstanding beauty and wonderful nature

Great place to visit when this is all over.beautiful setting on the river severn.just a short drive into beautiful Bridgnorth.

Food was very good and good social distancing but the toilets were really dirty. Put me off returning

Lol the river is not far but the rail is on the other side

Great location and friendly staff, nice pint halfway through River Severn Canoe trip.

Local friendly owner very nice person always pleased to welcome you

The food was delicious and the waiting staff were super friendly and loved our dog. they were very on the ball with all the new covid secure measures including asking for our track and trace information which they promised would be destroyed in 21 days. Unfortunately their card couldn't reach outside but one of the lovely waiters explained this to us so one of our group went up to the counter to pay.

Amazingly good Sunday roast! Two adults and two teenage boys, we ate two roast beef dinners and a roast chicken which were all absolutely delicious. The beef was slow roasted overnight and just melted. All the roasts came with Yorkshire puddings and stuffing and a selection of vegetables plus additional gravy. The fish pie was superb and had so many different types of fish in, we couldn't identify them all - cod, salmon, prawns plus we think whelks and possibly a scallop. My son isn't usually adventurous but wolfed it down! For dessert we had the chocolate and hazelnut delice and a strawberry trifle, again both were delicious. Service was quick and price was incredibly reasonable for what we had. We've booked again for next Sunday!

Lovely setting - inside out. Garlic bread starter was burnt. Other than that, food was lovely. The room was cold. Could have done with the lovely wood burner on!

We had a realy relaxed time hear the suroundings were pleasant and the staff realy nice could not fault the fare,we will visit again.

Nice quiet pub tucked away down by the river

Good location, polite and helpful people

Love this place, great food never been disappointed, highly recommend trying

Friendly and in a wonderful location opposite the railway across the river

A super pub that looked after us for lunch despite turning up at 1.30pm on an out-of-season Thursday. Lovely food of for us and the children. The lady who served us was most friendly and accommodating. Be warned - there is no way of getting across the river any more at Hampton Loade to the SVR station as the ferry closed a few years ago and the utility company have stopped people using the nearby bridge (tight blighters!).

Food is nice but having to order what you want when you book the table/before you go is a little odd.

Beautiful pub set in the heart of country you can watch the river and you can even watch the trains come by absolutely brilliant

It's a beautiful setting in a small hamlet next to the river. We had a a 3 course Sunday lunch (set menu with options) for under £15 per person and the food was fantastic! The portion sizes were good and the drinks were not too expensive. We were also able to bring our dog, and the surrounding area made an ideal setting to take him for a walk afterwards. Overall I would highly recommend visiting the River and Rail.

Lovely quiet secluded pub and restaurant where you can eat in and out. An interesting and varied medium priced menu. I would recommend the sandwiches, which are very large, and come with fries and side salad and are reasonably priced. A good selection of ales are served. The interior dining area is very nicely designed with a modern smart clean look. Large car park on site.

Lovely setting, food and service were ok,

Good variety of food on our stop whilst paddling down the Severn. Thoughtful chef providing Gluten Free Food.

Don't no what to say but turned up for 12 o'clock opening told if we wanted food we wouldn't be able to order till 1:30 as they was putting the menus out till then hope it was just lazy staff and not the owner of the place I don't think I'm being unfair just honest with what we was told

Beautiful setting good value and services

Not good food..but a pretty place and location.

Stopped off for lunch. Sandwiches are huge, you may wish to share. Service and food was top notch, don't worry about mine or anyone else's review, visit and make up your own mind. We plan to visit again.

Great indoor and outdoor, beautiful location at in what feels like the middle of nowhere, with excellent service and a polite and friendly staff. We'll be back again when we aren't doing a 15 mile canoe trip in 34c heat!

Visited this lovely pub on the hottest day so far this year. Ordered our drinks and food and sat in the shade outside, perfect. The food arrived and it was just as I expected only better, the staff were all friendly and the service was good. Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon. See you again soon I hope.

Nice location. Abrupt unhelpful bar staff.

It was OK beer not great so drank cider food OK but nothing special. If you sit outside to eat they will not do starters it all comes at the same time. Rubbish idea

One of the best places to eat good is amazing service excellent.i had salmon tagetelli , two courses 11.25my second course I had coffee and Petit fours

The bar staff were friendly their prices reasonable, pub and outside areas were clean and tidy, it's a meeting point for the river adventure activities but it's not a problem nice to see people enjoying themselves once all assembled they drift off and the place resumes to a quiet and scenic pub with the Seven Valley Railway across the river putting on a show can't comment on the food didn't eat sorry but the menu and prices looked reasonable. There is a parking area next to the pub and river which you have to pay for doesn't belong to the pub but nothing is free nowadays.

First time here and we will be back. Great unpretentious food at a very reasonable price. We must try a Sunday lunch. What a lovely find for our trips to Bridgenorth.

Quick service, lovely place, all clean.

Great location but really should try a bit harder to welcome all guests

Just by the river and with lovely staff.

Food was good when it came but we weren't made to feel very welcome by one of the members of staff. Almost like our presence and the fact a large group wanted to order and pay for food there was an inconvenience to them!

Nice pub. Slight lack of staff so waiting at the bar some time was the morn. Could clear and landscape the remaining lawn area out by carpark as looks a mess with old picnic benches stacked up one end.

lovely place good food and service

Friendly staff, great beers, nice setting and plenty of outside seating for enjoying the sunshine

Very dark and quiet for a Sunday lunch. No one else in!

Nice location hidden away but it's not a busy place even on a Sunday at lunch, and only one waitress so there was slow service. The only food worth recommending is the brownie.

Went for for a pint at the end of a walk. Pleasant pint,nice staff did not look at the menu. Sat outside enjoying some early sun. View of the river obscured only just able to see the steam railway.

Great food and ale, amazing service.

Superb been coming here for a few yrs being a fisherman Nice to sit outside in the sunshine and just relax or have a long walk along the mighty river Severn watching the steam trains on the opposite bank then back for a bite to eat and a refreshing drink

Lovely place to drink and eat with some fantastic offers available

Visited during the week met with the landlady very friendly and I'm sure would be a great place to visit on a nice summer day plenty of outdoors seating and close to the river. Great location and a nice atmosphere

Lovely lunch. We had the fish and chips and steak burger, both beautifully presented and delicious. Really nice touch with the complimentary duck starter. Great hosting from Judy. Thank you Wayne and Judy

Excellent food,very friendly staff,will definatly go again.

The beer.can be suspect the food good

Nice location for a drink and a meal

Great location. Great food and drink

Good English pub grub. There are outdoor tables as well as indoor and they can accommodate large groups. There is a large cosy fire for winter evenings and ample parking. Make sure you don't park in the one opposite if you're staying after it's locked.

Amazing food and excellent service

There is a beautiful place by the river

Lovely peaceful location tasty food relaxed atmosphere friendly welcome something for all tastes

Miserable bar lady didn't have correct glasses for drinks which we ordered would notvrecommend

Lovely place but long wait for food and service was slow But would visit again

Food was lovely but a bit pricey. Could of been a bit quicker with the food too but hey nice pub and beautiful area

Tucked away down a lane in hampden loade by the river.. lovely quiet setting by the river. Food was delish.

Nice pub, dated garden furniture

Service & food very good. Nice quiet location.

Location fabulous on the Severn, service brilliant, food on time not rushed and the quality of the food superb.

Great Sandwiches and ales, wonderful building with even better scenery

Wouldn't even get me through the door as they seem to think that Parmesan is vegetarian. Would be funny if it wasn't so serious ..... that purveyors of food do not understand what it is and where it comes from.

Safe garden for children. Bit dated

Serve was slack this time round....probably due to the hot day.

Lovely countryside pub. Nice outdoor seating area. Very pleasant and clean

Our first visit to the river&rail I was so impressed with the way we were greeted by the staff, and the food tasted wonderful really enjoyed the whole day out

Bit of a queue for a drink behind the canoe stop-off tribe and no food available ...pint was worth having on a hot day though!

Tried here today on spec disappointed not to be able to get a meal large group of canooists were being catered for . Arrived at 12 noon told may be served at 2 . Phone before you go is the lesson learnt

One of our favourite places to eat.Food is amazing and plenty of it.We had the carvery this time and our plates were heaped with the most succulent beef.Lovely staff and beautiful views from the restraint windows.You are also able to eat and drink outside.There is a canopied area with tables and seating and a bèer garden.
