The Woodbridge Inn in Shropshire

My Family went for a meal to celebrate my Brother in law's Birthday meal , his Birthday meal was completely ruined by the Woodbridge Inn, meals was paid separately but all on same table number , 2 main meals was brought out at same time of starters no customer service was asked at time of paying or waitress who served starters asked if we wanted main meals at same time as starters as some of us did not have starters due to them been out of stock, long wait after for the remaining meals to come out and we then had to sit watch them eat there food as we has eaten ours , my Brother in Law who still had not had his food and was still waiting whilst 4 of us had already been given meals at this point had to go in 3 times to be told on its way , after still not receiving his meal we asked for a refund due to the upset it caused and the fact it ruined the whole night 4 of us had not eaten a meal together and my Brother in Law had not gotten one to be told his order had not gone through to chef , yet they had took his money for steak, Manager banned us from pub including my 12 year old Niece because we asked for money back and was annoyed at the awful customer service we received , yet not one of the staff checked where my Brother in Laws steak was even after he went in 3 times to ask , only when I asked to speak to Manager did they investigate, I have also put complaint in with brewery and had no response back from them on this matter either as they was at fault and we was the ones banned for complaining. so putting a review on here to say both the pub and the Brewery who own this pub do not care about there customers or ruining someone's Birthday , my Brother in Law did not get his meal in end he ended up having a takeaway when he got home.

Excellent lunch with friends celebrating our wedding anniversary Good choice of gluten free including the steak & kidney pudding Bacon chop also excellent one small issue chips could have been a little hotter Service was also good Overall great lunch time meal

Walking the Monarch’s Way on a two day (at 20 miles a day) burst and staying at the nearby Youth Hostel (as Septuagenarians) we didn’t expect to dine here. But two nearer pubs were either shut for refurb or closed on Tuesdays. So we wandered down (another half mile to add to 20 already) with wet outer coats from heavy rain. What a warm welcome in both thermal and social terms. The manager and team were superb, supplying drinks and taking coats for drying in the back room. The food was fabulously presented, we had two courses, with the small dessert and coffee option to finish with all great value. Yes it was a quiet Tuesday evening but we observed all there were treated with great respect and sublime service. Thank you team!

A very nice welcome as i walked in, sat down and had my order taken, staff were very helpful, friendly and attentive, food came in good time. My pigeon starter was amazing, i then ordered the cod loin, that too was very good, all in all a very nice place to visit with wonderful views, good food and lovely staff,would recommend it to anyone.

I was alittle apprehensive about visiting Woodbridge after reading recent reviews. However service and food were excellent. Staff friendly and efficient and not over attentive. I would love to visit in in the daytime and try one of their walks then enjoy the hospitality.

Due to its picturesque setting this has always been a favourite choice of ours to dine at but I’m afraid we will have second thoughts after our latest meal . Have to agree with recent reviews about the decline in quantity and quality of the food now . 3 of us had fish and chips and all the fish were smaller than on previous occasions , with measly servings of mushy peas , annoyingly another example of pay more and get less . Will just stick to drinks in the future . Oh and good luck getting through on the phone , tried 3 times and it rang out each time.

Great food and drinks,wonderful setting over looking the river. The staff are very friendly and helpful big shout out for Josh.

My wife and I have visited the Woodbridge many times in the past and enjoy the run out and the ambiance of the place. The meals we have had in the past have been excellent value, however, today I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the fish and chips. In comparison with our previous visits the fish seems now to be a cheaper cut built up with batter to look good. Previously the fish was reasonably thick cut and succulent, today's was very thin, amazed also that no Mushy peas were available. I am really annoyed that nowadays the price of most things are going up with a constant drop in quality. This used to be our favourite venue, but sadly no more.

Overpriced for tiny portions. Came away hungry. They had run out of some food.. burgers? Prawns? Bizarre The only good thing about this place is the location. Very disappointing. Won't be returning.

Lovely venue but poor service. Booked a month ago and booked for 8pm got served at 9pm . The table was not in the main restaurant so they don’t lay it up, but even in the time we had drinks no one came to lay the table , we were ignored by all staff. Food was ok . Finished our meal at 10.30 ! Ridiculous, will not be going back .

Came here for a nice Sunday dinner with my family. On arrival, the girl behind the bar looked at me opened mouthed like why was I here ! She asked if we had a table booked and went to see if it was ready. When we got to our table, it wasn’t even ready ( no cutlery and unclean) I ordered sausages and mash ( should say smash ) which cost £16 ! Such as shame as it’s a lovely location and when I have visited in years past the quality of the food was better ! Won’t be visiting again !

This is a lovely pub in a stunning location. Two of us had pies and they were delicious. The best thing about them was that the pastry was proper shortcrust pastry which had not just a top but the base as well which was really well cooked and this included the vegan one. This was so much better than the puff pastry topping which you usually get served in a lot of pubs and restaurants these days. I was very impressed. The other two of us had lamb which was also delicious. The service was also very good and we will definitely be returning.

The pub is fantastic, the staff are great. The service is woeful. Booked a table for 1:15 pm at 2:15 still waiting for the meal. Ordered a drink and 30 minutes later still waiting. Could not recommend this pub to others.

Excellent meal , 8 oz bacon steak , beef burger , open prawn sandwich all very tasty , waited a little time for meal Otherwise great lunchtime meal

Good food and service at this nice pub situated alongside the river Severn.There was a good choice of drinks and food at reasonable price. The waitresses were very pleasant and helpful. It is a large pub but has a good atmosphere.

Lovely pub with warm and welcoming atmosphere. Great food. Fantastic service. Not cheap so probably best for a special occasion.

Visited this evening with 2 of our oldest friends who were visiting from Portugal. Beautiful venue, fantastic menu choices, the food was cooked to perfection and great staff We are so often disappointed when going for a meal but this place was brilliant will certainly go back Thank you to everyone working tonight great team

I eat at The Woodbridge fairly often. The location is perfect. Went for Saturday lunch with friends it was unbelievably busy. Waited in a long queue for several minutes then seated in the 1st part of the building by the entrance door. Drinks and menu arrived quickly, starters took about 15 minutes then a long wait for our main meals. Because of where we were seated we were surrounded the whole time by the customer queue and their barking dogs. Conversation virtually impossible it was so noisy. Main meals finally arrived, all 4 different choices were very good and enjoyed .our server was very pleasant and worked very hard but there were just far too few staff working for the number of diners. Felt very let down by this totally unacceptable experience.

What a beautiful place. Lovely atmosphere, staff were polite and efficient. Plenty of choice on the menu. Competitively priced and I doubt many places could offer a better view. Can recommend the burger and the quiche.

The interior of this restaurant is absolutely stunning we loved it. The staff seemed really helpful and friendly. The food was nice but nothing stood out as particularly special. This is a pricer pub in the area.

Stopped here, had a sandwich and two drinks, and felt we were very overcharged . Nearly £30 . I don't think service was particularly friendly either. We shall not be returning

Paid £ 29.65. For a medium size sauvignon,half a Trappist beer and one beef wrap, tapped on card and didn't ask for receipt but trusted them to calculate correctly . This seems very over priced to me. We will not be returning .

We booked a table for dinner on a Friday night, we were greeted on arrival by front of house, we chose to go to the bar first and order drinks, as my husband likes to sample the local ales, the Barman was happy to oblige and to chat about local beers. We were then shown to our table for two, We ordered 1 starter of Squid, which was delicious, if I was being really picky, maybe a larger size plate would have been better for the larger portion supplied. We then ordered fish and chips and a crispy beef salad, My fish and chips were really tasty and the batter was lovely. The crispy beef salad also went down well, we finished off the meal with the chocolate brownie and ice cream and a serving of 2 scoops of ice cream, there's an array of flavours of ice cream and sorbets to choose from. My husband had, chocolate and Marmalade, the second was definitely his favourite flavour. All our courses were served quickly and all of the hot dishes were just that. Our waitress Sophie, was very friendly and helpful. Thank you to the Woodbridge, we will definitely return.

Visited last night, had booked for a table of seven people. Was shown to a really nice table in a room towards the back of the pub which was quiet. This meant that we could actually talk to each other and hear conversation. Ordered drinks and then was left for plenty of time to peruse the menu. Ordered our food, my son and his girlfriend had steaks, my husband had a burger, I had the chicken ham and leek pie, my cousin also had the burger, his son had the fish and chips and cousins wife had fish, but not battered. All of the meals came out piping hot and were very nice. It’s not cheap, the steaks are around the £30 mark, but this is to be expected given its location. I couldn’t actually manage a pudding, but some did, having waffles with caramel sauce, a cheeseboard and a damson sponge with custard. All looked really nice and were very much enjoyed. Service was good, we weren’t constantly hassled but if we needed something there were staff there to ask. A very enjoyable night and I’m sure that if we came during the summer, the views would be stunning but of course, the pub would be much busier. I’m sure we will be back during the summer months as we had a very pleasant night at this pub.

My fiend and I cycled to this pub along the river path. We were famished and looking forward to lunch. We arrived and decided that as we were very muddy, we'd sit outside. All the tables were covered with empty glasses. We chose one and I popped inside to order drinks and ask if the table could be cleared. The girl I asked on the way on simple grunted and walked off. I then asked the man who served me at the bar if the table could be cleared. His response was a curt, " We need to clear the tables inside first." My friend and I never ordered lunch. We sat waiting outside for our table to be cleared for over an hour. When they finally came to clear it, not a single apology was muttered. Shockingly poor service. I will never return.

Booked a table to celebrate my grandsons 12th birthday. We all had food off the Sunday lunch menu and all 5 of our meals were well presented and tasted delicious. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We will be visiting again

This was such a shame as I had taken my son for lunch to celebrate his birthday. Many years ago, we used to come here for the annual river raft race, so it felt special. Decor and staff were great. Roast beef lunch however, was...

The Restaurant was full that Wednesday night, the food and service was once again superb. On that dark and rainy night it was impossible to see the riverside view, so a daytime visit is well worth the trouble. Top food, best service and cracking view......

Yes, it’s out of town, so you need a nominated driver or taxi (we were lucky, with a team member that doesn’t drink!) so factor that in when booking here, but do book, as it’s a little gem. The welcome at this traditional country pub...

No complaints about the food. 4 of us made different choices all happy. Restaurant was extremely busy, we were seated next to a group of 10 who were so loud and shrill it made our conversation virtually impossible and ruined our experience. The restaurant is...

This is a stunning building in a beautiful spot. The staff are lovely. The menu is top heavy on gluten free and, unfortunately, leave nothing for me. I can't eat nightshades. Potatoes are the worsed, for me. Mast cell activation syndrome. It's generally easy. There's...

I went here for supper with my wife and sons while visiting the Ironbridge area. Everything was going well until my wife mentioned to the waitress that she was lactose intolerant. At that point the waitress refused to serve her *anything* on the menu that...

New year eve meal with friends & family Sunday.roast was excellent plenty of variety for one diner with gluten free diet Desserts were great

Its lovely to cater for vegans, gluten sufferers and those who prefer not to eat dairy products but there needs to be choices on the menu as well that contain traditional full flavour ingredents and are cooked to traditional recipes. Food cooked to satisfy the...

We often eat here when visiting family in Telford, relaxed atmostphere, dog friendly, good food and friendly staff. Lovely setting

Went on Thursday night with some friends and are children. What a fantastic night we all had. The steaks were all cooked beautifully and my wife's Fish and Chips she said was delicious. My daughter ate pretty much all her fish fingers - which is...

The Woodbridge Inn has beautiful views across the River Severn, the warm open fires were welcoming and the service was super. We came as a family of 4 adults and 2 children. The Christmas roast was okay but the potatoes were nearly inedible, what a...

Although breakfast menu isn't as extensive as the Mytton. The location, atmosphere and attentiveness of staff more than makes up for it. A big thank you to Olly and especially Kirsty who always goes the extra mile to make our trips to the Woodbridge memorable

Although a Beautiful location, thats as far as I would go, long wait to order our food & then a further hour before it arrived. below average quality of food. Part of the meal was hardly warm & over cooked. No staff available to raise...

Lovely pub, lovely atmosphere. Sally served and seated us and she was lovely and couldn’t do enough to ensure we enjoyed our time in the pub. The food was excellent. A thoroughly enjoyable evening all round. Thank you

Visited with friends for an early lunch. I am a regular visitor, always consistently good. A beautiful location on the riverside.

When we arrived, it was a Saturday afternoon, and it was fairly busy. There were plenty of staff about, as we waited at the bar. However, no one even acknowledged us for at least 10 minutes. We were about to walk out when a man...

Disappointing to see all woodburners were NOT in use during these very cold eveings , very cold unwelcoming feeling. Hopefully next time they’ll be on!

Have you ever wanted to find a place that is beautiful to look at, the staff are amazing, the food is on another level and the place itself is just perfect? Look no further!!! Here it is, genuinely. Kids loved it, food was spot on....

Always look forward to coming here. Food is always perfect. The staffs attitude is fantastic helpful friendly and courtesy are the foremost The chefs do a fab job The setting is wonderful can't wait to come back..

The location is really beautiful. Unfortunately the food was average. I had the roasted tomato and red pepper soup as a starter. Not as zesty as one would expect. For main course I ordered the Shropshire blue, spring onion, broccoli quiche. This too had very...

My son and his family came over from Canada and we chose this Inn primarily due to the fact that it was pet friendly and also roughly half way for other members of the family to travel to. We made a booking back in July...

A lovely place to come for a drink, meal or a light bite. Absolutely stunning food, great atmosphere & great staff.

What a lovely restaurant. Unfortunately didn't really get a chance to see the grounds or sit outside as the weather was awful. For a Monday night, the restaurant was very busy however, we were attended to and shown our table very quickly. Our waitress was...

The Woodbridge is delightfully located on the banks of the Servern in Coalport. Inside it has lots of old-world charm. The inn is owned by Brunning and Price and delvrfde a good quality menu at reasonable prices. it would be over stating it to say...

Having visited for Father’s Day this year and let without eating to do the excessive wait time for food, I did leave a previous negative review however I only think it’s fair to leave a positive one to highlight that sometimes delays happen but it’s how the situation is rectified. We contacted Ollie who went the extra mile and welcomed us back today for Sunday lunch with fantastic service. The food was lovely, the wait time was short and the staff went the extra mile to accommodate us and ensure we had a better experience, which we did. We will definitely visit again soon and thankyou again for the great service

What makes a good pub great , the staff. My wife and I went here at least four times whilst we were on holiday in the area. The staff were so friendly and helpful you just wanted to keep going back. The food was excellent and they didn't mind small changes to the menu for example chips instead of mash or skinny fried instead of chunky chips. Good beers and wine , what's not to like ?

My second review!!! I recently left a negative review due to a father's day meal that didn't go as well as planned but my experience this time was fantastic. After speaking to Ollie the manager at the Woodbridge we revisited today, same family of four, busy Saturday late afternoon and we had the most fantastic time. Staff excellent, service excellent and food beautiful. We want to thank everyone today for making our time so relaxed and enjoyable and we will be returning again. Thank you to Ollie for encouraging us to return and see what a wonderful team and place you really do have.

Great meal in a really nice pub. The service was good, and the staff were very pleasant and friendly and they didn’t rush you at all. The main courses were excellent- the lamb was very tender and flavourful and the chicken pie was delicious. The desserts were also good. There is a good choice of beers & wines and, as an added bonus you also got a free square of bread pudding with your coffee. Overall, it was a really good evening and I would certainly go to the Woodbridge again

Beautiful location, disappointed with the food and service. The roast beef however was perfect and very delicious. Vegetables not good, cabbage not prepared correctly and parts hard and raw, roast potatoes!! dreadful, I left them. Sticky toffee pudding very good but not at enough custard...

Went midweek for a birthday celebration, the service was amazing despite it being busy as it was a warm night a lot of guests ate outside. The food we all had was exceptional and special attention for the ham hock and cider tart. Thank you...

Last minute decision to go out for a bite to eat. Busy night at The Woodbridge but Sally still managed to squeeze us in on a table in the bar area. Lovely welcome and a fab food as always.. The whole team can’t do enough...

Great food Good service Beautiful scenic location and lovely atmosphere in a comfortable pub / restaurant Interesting interiors and views of river

Have been popping into here for a meal whenever we pass through Ironbridge/Telford for a few years now, and every time have been welcomed with the friendliest service and the most delicious and beautifully presented meals. Comfortable family atmosphere and gorgeous views. The Appleby’s cheese...

Catch up lunch with my busy busy sister. She had been here before and wanted me to share her positive experience. It was a gloriously sunny day (rare this summer!) and it was a perfect place for lunch. Great views, great food and good service....

The food: the food tasted nice, and. No complaints on that. The price: ridiculous. Prices have increased significantly beyond other similar places. £16 for a pie and vegetables. £29 for a small ribeye. And the drinks! Oh my goodness. 9.50 for a 250ml glass of...

Thank you so much for our beautiful food today. It really was top notch to prompt me to review, and complements to your chef. We also had fantastic warm service and left looking forward to returning in September for a special family celebration meal. Thanks...

My husband and I visited here after rafting down the river (see Shropshire raft tours) and were absolutely delighted - we sat outside with beautiful views of the river. Service was friendly and fast and the menu was creative and interesting but with some high...

A disappointing experience from start to finish. Staff were not attentive and had to be prompted to provide menus and clear tables. 30 minute wait to order our food from time of being seated. Starters were generally ok (table of 5) and to be fair...

Lovely riverside pub with views over the river Severn. Called in on our walk and enjoyed a cold glass of Lucky Saint, which they had on tap. Which is very rare for a low/non alcoholic drink. Garden and flowers look beautiful. Enjoyed very much. Highly...

We visited with friends of my late father for lunch, it was a lovey sunny afternoon! Very dear friends of mine who can’t wait for me to bring them back! Fabulous!

We went as a family for Father’s Day as we come to the Woodbridge for the past 4 years on this day myself, husband and 2 children …. As always the food was amazing … it was busy without a doubt but staff were friendly...

I came in on Father’s Day for a meal absolutely delicious. The staff were lovely they were rushed off their feet but continued to have a smile and give a positive vibe, will be back again.

Really lovely setting. Food was fabulous and the staff were really attentive. Will definitely be visiting again.

Great place, great food and excellent service. Always made to feel welcome, hence its a favourite of ours. 5 stars!

We came here for a drink on Father’s Day. We had just started our second drink when a waitress came over. She asked if we’d booked the table for food (which was by the door and not in the restaurant),we said we were just having...

2 minutes ago NEW Having booked weeks ago in preparation for Father’s Day, sadly we turned up today with our two young children and waited over an hour for the food we ordered. We appreciate it was busy and expected a short wait however it...

Honestly I don't know where to start. We booked to come today (Father's day meal) and from the off it was a bad experience. We arrived just before our time so expected to wait for the table but was seated straight away but was then...

We had a large group of 19 so we had pre-ordered. The management had been excellent as the numbers had changed in the build up. The pub was full but despite this we had great service. The main course did take a little while to...

Had two meals here in last week, both were very nice, good service,good price and lovely river side location. Cannot fault anything. Easy booking,welcoming staff and enjoyable

Lovely food, lovely place and surroundings but …oh dear ! Some of the staff could at least pretend to be welcoming. What I presume to be a manageress ( blond middle aged woman) shouted at us as we were about to walk through to the...

What a rip off overcharged. Medium Pinot and 1/2pt of draught beer £10.50 No wonder they can afford to dinner ticket away when they charge that much for drinks.

Beautiful location by the river with stunning views. Really great choice of food and all very tasty and cooked to perfection. Staff very friendly and made us feel really welcome. Would highly recommend.

I've been 3 times in total, an absolutely stunning location and very beautiful interior. Once I came for my Xmas works do and the vegan option was a delicious Indian dish, can't fault it. Unfortunately the next 2 times my only option was a £15...

Went to Woodbridge today and asked if we can sit to have drinks was told there’s no availability to walk in but seats were given to others for drinks We were the only Asians that walked in so felt very offended

Solo work trip, pregnant and uncomfortable…. Finding a beautiful pub won the river with the BEST food I could have dreamed for. A simple Salad: feta, orange and pomegranate combination- perfectly balanced. I could have ended after my main course and been happy; but the...

Called in to the Woodbridge on the off chance we could get a meal, the waitress was lovely and very helpful. We had a lovely meal all freshly made and delicious, the food is quality rather than quantity but worth every penny. We look forward...

Couldn’t believe the way I was spoken to by a waitress who didn’t stop even when the manager and another employee tried to intervene. Never experienced anything like it in my 60 years on the planet

The staff are nice and the food and atmosphere is great. Toilets VERY hygienic (amazing soap). Lovely view from the windows. (The amazing title is inspired by a one-star review on this site).

Great service! Greeted and shown to our pre booked table overlooking the river. Wonderful atmospheric restaurant with several waiting staff. Only complaint was, mix up with our ice cream and spoons, which was quickly and easily remedied. Amaretto ice cream - delicious! We both had...

My wife and I eat here a lot. The food is always good as are the staff. It's a lovely location too with some tables having a great view of the bridge. It gets busy bit never feels too busy. Ample parking too
