The Wickets Inn in Telford and Wrekin

All four meals were disappointing. Fish and chips both overcooked, stroganoff had lumpy rice and barely a mushroom in sight. Steak was good but mushrooms and tomatoes both overcooked. Worst of all, I had a chipped plate for my starters , and my wife had a plate for her mains with a huge chip in it. Also no one bothered to ask if everything was ok during our meal, or even when we’d eaten. I would have mentioned these problems when I paid, but there was a duo playing and the music was to loud for conservation. It was especially disappointing as it was a birthday meal for my wife .

Great Sunday lunch and a good choice of ale to go with it. Staff were very friendly and helpful, even happy for us to take away our dessert.

Had Sunday lunch there recently, food was excellent and the service and Staff were brilliant.

The atmosphere wasn't good, just an elderly gentleman sitting at the bar an rwo people finishing their food. We ordered Our beer and was served by a stern faced female the bar maid red hair which is not a criticism of her - What I do massively criticise though is her attitude when I politely asked if she would top up my pint to the correct level, she wasn't happy at all and questen this, my pint was easily 2 inches below the acceptable level. You really need to train this person to be more welcoming and give service with a smile, The pub was empty and no wonder why 👎. 0

Popped in for lunch today after a visit to Attingham Park. We hadn't booked and the place was busy, we were offered a table on the understanding that there would be a short wait before we'd be able to order food. We accepted and glad to say it was the right decision.My son wasn't over awed by the menu as he was hoping for burgers steaks etc and when he looked online didn't notice the Sunday menu. However he found a main and desert he was happy with and enjoyed both. I had 3 courses and was very happy with each one, my partner had 2 courses and again was happy with both. The staff were efficient and polite. The portion sizes were larger than expected, well cooked and presented. Quality at a decent price. Would definitely recommend and will return another time to try the normal menu.

I spent a week in Telford and it was something of a disaster, The Wickes Inn was my trips one saving grace, Amazing food, great staff and friendly locals. I only wish I had found The Wickes Inn earlier in my trip.

I thoroughly enjoy the bangers and mash the sausages are so juicy and big the onion gravy is amazing I've had many other meals and all have been very good and good value for money. I just wish they had an easy to find book a table as I can't find it and do prefer to book online without having to phone. Wonderful pub 👌

1st time visit, my son and his wife had been before on numerous occasions and had said how good it was. Anyway we had the 3 courses for £18, absolutely a bargain. Food was excellent, well presented and service was good. It turned out that I knew Lance from school in the 70s . Well done to you and your staff, we had a great time at your establishment and I think we will all be back again hopefully.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch on 23rd Feb. Food was amazing and special thanks to Jo and the team who went above and beyond. Fab service, great setting and gorgeous food.

Lovely homecooked food. Generous portions. Family friendly pub. Great variety of food available. Jo and the team looked after us very well.

Great food at a reasonable price with friendly staff and owners

Good service, lovely food... Last minute Sunday lunch booking. 3 adults and a child. All our meals were lovely. Staff very friendly and accommodating and nice wine glasses! Would recommend and will definitely be back

Food was fantastic at reasonable prices, we will definitely visit again.

Lovely pub fast food and good quality

Group of 6. Walk in 9.34pm on a Tuesday night. No one in there but two old guys in the corner and two bar staff. Everyone sits down. Go to order drinks. Last orders at 9:30 mate. Sorry. Next thing you know, they will be crying when they are out of business because they get no custom. Went to The Wrekin and spent £50 there instead. What an odd business strategy. Won't waste my time again.

Wow, six of us, called on a Tuesday night at 9.35 pm only to find last orders is called at 9.30pm. Won’t bother again.

Ate here this afternoon with my wife and son. The food was very good, and the first waitress (who I think may have been new) was polite and attentive. However, when I broached the subject of a discrepancy on the bill to the bar lady due to a miscommunication from the first waitress, I was snapped at with an arrogant and abrupt retort. Even my Ten year old son commented on the bad attitude from the staff. Food good.... Customer service.....not so much.

The most delicious Lamb shank. Nothing was too much trouble from Jo and the team, thanks for squeezing me in at the last minute.

A local pub to us. Go every now and then for a meal. The food, value and service is fantastic! A 3 course meal in week for £18 is amazing. Food quality and presentation very good. Highly recommended

Slow service, seemed to be 2 members of staff hanging a round the bar and only one serving. Bar area very cold. Asked to move tables because the one we sat at was reserved (no reserved sign) in the hour I was there no one used the table

Nice food, goodprices and the lady who served us was brilliant

Had a lovely meal recently to celebrate a friends 70th birthday. The food was beautiful and very reasonably priced. The only negative is that the service was a bit slow and it took over an hour for us to receive our main courses.

Really lovely Sunday dinner. Relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Incredible roast dinner at a more than reasonable price. Thank you!

Lovely Sunday lunch beautifully cooked lovely staff value for money will definitely be back

Excellent, food, service and price thoroughly recommend

We were in a large group for a birthday party. The service was poor/borderline rude, e.g. just dumping a pile of napkins/knives/forks on the one table. One of our party came back from the loo and had to wrap cutlery in napkins herself and hand them out to everyone. Husband and I had fish and chips special and a dessert which was a very nice meal. However, when my husband went to pay they tried to charge him £10 more than our bill (we worked it out before he went up to pay), he had to insist they check it again as it was wrong, which they did eventually and admitted the error. We left the main group as had a long drive home, when we got home had a text from my brother in law saying the pub told them we left without paying for one of our desserts so he had to pay! I had our receipt and proof we had paid. I called the manager, seemed apologetic but nothing came of it. We weren't out of pocket but our brother in law was and we were made to look dishonest by the pub when it was them. So, double check your bill at this place. We wouldn't return obviously.

Really loved this little pub. Steak and ale pie was a triumph, lovely golden crispy chunky chips and delicious rich pot of gravy on the side. 2 courses for £20 on a Sunday, bit of a bargain! Waitress was nice and good service to boot. All round good find, would recommend.

Booked Sunday lunch in the restaurant by email but needed to bring the reservation forward to Saturday (received cool, curt responses each time, which didn't bode well). The alteration was confirmed but we turned up to find that changing our booking in their reservation diary was sadly beyond their wit, so we happily went elsewhere.

Food is great but the service lets them down, unfortunately

Great value for money 💰 £ 18 for 3 course's Very friendly staff and a great set up very pleased

Fabulous meals, six of us all had different things off the menu, and we all said they were great!

Very good food, with good beer. Nice staff and friendly locals.

Absolutely amazing food yet again. We decided to bring our grandparents here for an early Christmas meal for their Christmas present as they didn’t want anything else from us. Everything was absolutely perfect. The starters, the mains and the puddings . Best tomato soup ever with warm crispy bread and butter. Lovely roast turkey and veggies and nice thick gravy. Puddings were beautiful too.

Surprisingly good food, in fact, excellent and not too bad prices.

Agret experianc and beitifull food. JO AND JACKIE were lovely. All in all I would recommend wickets. you try it. Needs bigger cups for coffee and tea after meal. Hopefully will be sorted when we go again. Thank you for a lovely lunchtime

Popped in for Sunday lunch yesterday! The food was great! Although super busy we were very well looked after by the 3 ladies that was working! The older lady was lovely getting a table available for us as we called in on the off chance.

Absolutely lovely meal, friendly atmosphere and great value for money. Been for drinks in here many times over the years but this was the first time eating here and was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of food. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Myself went for tea the food was amazing the service was good the best steak I have in ages. A good selection of drinks and ales

Amazing food, staff very friendly. Will definitely come again.

Just had our first amazing Sunday lunch here. We had pate and the mushrooms for starters both were outstanding then we had the slow cooked beef for our main the portion size was brilliant and the beef itself just melted in the mouth. Highly recommend, great staff very friendly and welcoming great value for money

Arrived yesterday evening at 5pm after pre booking a table for myself and 3 family member, when we arrived we were told our table wasn’t ready so we would have to wait, after half an hour I went and asked for a drink at the bar to be then told that it was table service only which I found bizarre as there was a group of men sat at the bar drinking. Anyway I asked how long our table would be and was asked how long is a peace of string? Rude right? Well it only got worse we finally got to our table and drinks order taken. After 10 minutes someone came and told us they had no vodka ! What pub has no vodka ?! Our food arrived and was cold when I approached the manager she stick her finger in my food and said no it’s not cold either eat it or pay and go. She then sucked her finger as she walked away! Anyway we decided we wasn’t going to pay for the food so offered to pay for the drinks before we left. By this time the male owner had arrived he was shouting at my partner and threatening to follow him home! We were distraught and left immediately without another word. Would I return? Absolutely not I wouldn’t even recommend this place to my worst enemy.

My partner and I went there on Monday 4th November. We had heard good reviews and was not disappointed. The waitress/barmaid was absolutely lovely. The food was good. My husband wasn't wellso he just had the steak and onion cabretta. I had the lunch time time steak, home made chips, mushroom,tomato. Tried my husbands coleslaw. Definitely home made and delicious. As was both our meals. Highly recommend 👌

Great food But service hit and miss.. We had ask for menus after 15 mins Asked for bill also after finished food Lovely staff I must say and great food. More staff training needed. May be a bit busy the day we visited but we will visit again. Thank you for good food and menu

Had lunch today which was excellent food and service. Would highly recommend. Staff lovely and friendly. Spotless clean and warm atmosphere xxx

Well, the food was a rarerity of new and old, all of which was of top quality. The service was beyond praise, and we so enjoyed our visit we certainly will be calling again, because we are easily satisfied with the best, and it was, 👌

Went here for a family member birthday gathering and meal but the food I ordered wasnt great, steak was tiny and didn't put on the peppercornSauce as requested for £20 meal was poor! I would say the worse part is getting told about my two deserts I was fine to pay at the end but then said another desert wasn't paid for when my brother paid his and misses in full before leaving! yet I paid in full before leaving to save any issue but I won't be coming back again as not wanting to be robbed like this again, shame but it is what it is

The food was very good - better than expected! The service was ok but not particularly friendly.

We brought our grandparents here for a Sunday dinner for their birthdays and we were all so impressed with the food, the service and even the prices. Absolutely amazing Sunday dinner and the staff were all so polite and friendly and we didn’t wait long for food and there was so much of it and all the meat and vegetables were cooked perfectly. Our grandparents cannot wait to come back again and try other food off the menu. In their words the food was ‘out of this world’ so I don’t think it’ll be long until we’re all back!

Had a lovely meal with the family. Couldn't fault any part of it

Went within a large group, my meal was disappointing fish full of oil and chips were cold and undercoooked.

Went for a 70th Birthday meal whilst I didn’t ask the rest of the table I found my meal of Fish & Chips to be a very plain piece of matter surrounded in batter not flakey and overall tasteless. My drink of Guinness was spilt by the server with very little care managed to drink 80% of it as the other 20% was on the table.

Been here this evening food was lovely no complaints there however the older waitress who served this evening needs to improve her personal hygiene as this impaired the experience slightly.

had a amazing meal. we have from the menu 3 course for £18 great value for money will definitely be going bk 🙂

Called in for a sit down and a beer. Friendly pub with decent ales. Large garden area and an inner courtyard. Could have stayed longer.

We visited The Wickets on a Saturday afternoon for a meal with the family. There were 9 of us for lunch. The menu had something for everyone, including great value meals for the kids. In fact, every one of us had something different. Great mix of pub classics, steaks, and some excellent vegan options. The kids had chicken nuggets made fresh from chicken breast and breadcrumbs. They wolfed them down. Excellent choice of draught beers. Nice friendly atmosphere in a nicely decorated and light interior. The service was excellent despite the kitchen and service teams being very busy. Meals were served fresh, without a long wait and all at the same time. Price was good value, not expensive but not cheap either. For the quality and quality of the food, the comfortable interior, and the amazing service, it was priced perfectly. To Debbie and Lance, thank you for being perfect hosts, and congratulations on your team for great service.

4 adults went for an evening Dinner, 2 had sirloin steak which were returned because tough and full of gristle, these were replaced with better steaks. The other 2 meals were ok. Sitting waiting for deserts I looked at the vinegar bottle and to my absolute disgust the vinegar was full of floating dead flies, we brought this to the attention of the waitress and she was horrified and went to the table opposite checked the vinegar and that was full of dead flies. She reported it but there was no explanation or apology for this, in fact when we left I checked the vinegar on empty tables and they too were full of flies. How does this restaurant get a food hygiene certificate when they allow bad housekeeping like this. We emailed the restaurant with our complaint but they didn't respond , Check the vinegar bottles before you use it.

Went at lunch time, the food was OK but the prices were really high especially for pub prices. Wouldn't go again for food at those prices

We were over in Telford today and had planned to have a pub lunch at somewhere that was dog friendly. A quick Google search and the Wickets Inn seemed to fit the bill. We were not disappointed! Nice clean friendly pub with a good selection on the menu. The food we ordered was tasty and well presented. Our dogs were especially happy with the free treats. We'll definitely go back there next time we're in the area.

Easy car park, dog friendly, gluten free options, good food, friendly staff and very clean. The steak was delicious. The perfect stop over on the way to Wales. Many thanks.

What a fantastic find!. We stopped at this lovely pub restaurant for lunch on our way to Wales on holiday. We were warmly welcomed on arrival and our 12 year old Australian catrle dog, Biscuit, was fussed and given treats by the Landlords family. The interior is smart and clean. The service was excellent. The menu catered for Coeliacs (Gluten free) and a great selection was available for all pallates. There was even a doggy menu for the pooch!. I had a lovely sirloin steak medium rare. Delicious and cooked perfectly. We also ordered lamb burgers, Southern fried chicken on Ciabatta and fries. All came well presented and tasting delicious! We will definitely be back our.our return journey. Excellent!

We searched for a dog friendly pub in Telford for lunch today and the Wickets Inn seemed to fit the bill. Nice clean friendly pub with a good selection on the menu. Tasty food that was well presented. Our dogs loved the complimentary treats on offer. We'll definitely go back there next time we're in the area.

Nice clean pub with a good size beer garden and play area

Very nice food, good quality and portion sizes, served by very friendly staff. Very accommodating for dietary requirements. Dogs also welcomed

We had a great meal. Catered for all of our tastes. Food was fabulous. Great service too. Will visit again. My husband said the rump steak with the blue cheese sauce was the best he had ever had - and he likes his steak!

Staff was very friendly. food a bit disappointing, the huntsman chicken consisted of small pieces instead of one piece, felt like a childs dish, also the tangy sauce was not very nice too and potatoes a little hard. Pub quiz was going on and there was a full house with a nice atmosphere and it was good to see a pub being so well supported.

Very attentive staff, great portion sizes, delicious food and fantastic value for money! I haven’t been for years after a bad experience but we have had a fantastic time. Highly recommended.

My husband is not one to be overwhelmed when eating out. We have had meals as a couple meals out with our grandkids and with our family. at various pubs in Telford Today it was me and hubby out for lunch we had not been here for a few years. We had the set menu 2 courses and OMG both were amazing. We both had the pate starter 5 stars fresh crunch bread outside moist on the inside and warm with a good portion of pate salad and pickle in a container. Quality all round then we had the beef mash carrots peas with peppercorn sauce. We thought the 1st course was fab but the main meal was exceptional beef cooked and tender mash traditional which was nice carrots peas with the peppercorn sauce in a tine pan to put where you wanted to go. All the chefs kitchen staff well done amazing food amazing taste. But also the staff that were behind the bar and serving fantastic service all round. I honestly would say if you have not tried this pub for meals please do try it as the quality taste re food was really fantastic. So next week we taking our grandkids as they have a good variety set menu for them to Again all I can say is thank you to all staff members in kitchen and serving all we amazing x

Very nice place. Very friendly staff. A very nice garden area with the option to sit in the shade or in the sun. Can't comment on the food I didn't eat here .

Was surprised at the quality of the food, nice clean pub, when dining expect to go to the bar for your drinks

Just had a refurbishment, great food and drink.

It wasn't that bad only where we was put to sit they had an 80th birthday party and there was kids messing about

Been to the wickets now twice, the first time the meal was absolutely amazing.. tonight I would say not as nice, the carbonara was swimming in butter, my husbands sauce with the cod loin was quite greasy also, the apple crumble I left most of it as it wasn’t as nice either, the waiting on/ bar staff was as lovely & helpful, cannot fault the waiting on/ bar staff. Must of been a different chef on tonight, from last time. Did not enjoy my meal at all.

This place has been refurbished and done very well. The lady serving us was run off her feet and coped extremely well. She was brilliant, very attentive. The food for me was spot on. We chose of the specials menu (2 courses £15). Our friends said their food was slightly over cooked.

Came in late to a busy pub and they made me welcome. Cleared a table for me. Very friendly service and an absolutely terrific lamb shank meal. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Fairly local pub for us - but had not been for a while & recently under new management. We were impressed - decent menu & nice quality pub food. There was a small wait to be served but they told us in advance & all was good. Will return

Awful Sunday lunch, half the things on the menu not available,needed a saw to cut the meat. I like aldenti veg but this was nearly raw! A bar made needs a note pad (at the bar) because she can’t take a drink order for 4 people? Seriously not a good experience

Pretty awful Sunday lunch, weird thick slices of very tough meat, sad looking vegetables, soggy potato's that had been drowned in gravy. Ate here last year and it was great, don't know what's changed but won't be back.

Great night. Food was amazing, 14 of us and all ate together and it was all hot. Highly recommend

Visiting the pub in normal kitchen hours 13:00 was told they weren't serving food because they had large bookings from 1430 I was with a small group and wanted some snacks nothing big. Basically refused food based on the basis that they were pending to be busy. It's was very empty by the was. Beer was very expensive and the tall lad behind the bar, made a very unusual statement, that I won't go Into. Nothing derogatory just unusual Me or the team won't visit again

Food and service was wonderful!

Put off by finding that the courtyard hadn't been cleaned from the night before. Ashtrays full dog poo.

Lovely afternoon tea and hot sandwiches. Staff friendly and helpful, good atmosphere. Would recommend.

Great food at a vert reasonable cost.

Had the most amazing meal, there was 11 of us in total, service was spot on, the meals were absolutely beautiful could not fault a thing at all, (compliments to the chef & staff) Donna, Sasha & the chef were very helpful they are a credit to the wickets, amazing value for money 3 course meal for £18 pp was impeccable, nothing was not to much trouble ,will definitely be returning.

We happened to be passing on the M54 , looking for a place for a late lunch. Full of football supporters when we got there, a local Derby. They were leaving and we had a great meal. Ham hock terrine followed by sausage n mash and raised liver. It was all very tasty with cheerful service and a sensible cost

Only popped in as we were passing from a walk, but the food was absolutely stunning & great prices too! The staff were so lovely and welcoming. Definitely recommend!

Haven been to The Wickets Inn for a few years, but had recently noticed it had changed hands so we thought we would give it a go! Very presently surprised by the inside of the pub, clean and tidy, staff well presented. Ordered drinks and asked for a table for food. Ordered their home cooked option from the menu from the 2 courses. The food was piping hot, well presented and very tasty! Well done The Wickets Inn, we will bee back!

Our favourite local pub has been ruined. Between 2006 and 2013 it was great. But Heineken decided to sell the pub. We felt that the then current tenants had been shafted because they did such a brilliant job for 17 years. Now it is so different. Many people like that it's different now but many of the old customers have left in their droves. They now have live music which does not interest us. There are many other pubs in our town that have live entertainment. Today, on a bank holiday, they were closed before 9pm! So we have to guess when they open and close. They also close at 6pm every Sunday. Hence why we rarely ever visit this pub nowadays.

Came for Sunday lunch very disappointing. The roast beef was chewy and looked like it had been microwaved veg were nice but not enough for 3 and I'm guessing the parsnips are roasted with the potatoes as only had 1 potato but lots of parsnips. Pleasant staff and nice to see the decor refreshed but sadly we won't be returning

We went on a recommendation. Very good recommendation, lovely food and staff were welcoming and friendly

We've been for a Friday night experience twice now, the six of us enjoyed the steaks and thought it was a great price on the menu! It's been changed to Saturday night now, so be mindful of what's being served - we can only recommend the steaks so far which we know are bought locally ! We'll be going again in May, so if you're there, give us 6 a wave 😄👋

Excellent two course dinner at very reasonable price.

Steak night special on a Saturday night Really great service lovely staff Onion rings to die for Really good will be back

Delicious afternoon tea, very nice and friendly atmosphere to meet up with close friends

First time at this pub since under new management. Absolutely first class service and food was fantastic. Special reference to the lad who brought our food out, he had such a lovely manner and smile . Clearly loved his job and that transferred to us the customer and made us feel happy to be there too

£12 for a VERY small portion of liver was disappointing. Either reduce price or increase portion size.

The food was lovely lots of it , but the drinks selection was very limited and really disappointing, not much choice at all , some of them were not very nice at all. One one photos two sandwiches were taken off.

Friendly team, attention to detail all good was beautifully presented and one of the best Sunday roasts we’ve all had! Would highly recommend! Debbie, Lance and the team shine xx

Lovely food and great service.
