Wharf Tavern in Shropshire

One of the best places to eat in Shropshire, food always excellent, surrounding countryside just adds to the ambience of this beautiful place. I've been going there for twenty years and it's always excellent, the only place I would recommend 👌

First time in about 45 years but we will be back in the near future,we had the Salmon and vegetables and it was plentiful and delicious,the staff were very nice especially the lad behind the bar who was very friendly and informative,if you haven’t tried it before then you must make an effort and try this excellent establishment.

Popped in for lunch when passing on the boat, a very picturesque setting. Excellent ales on sale and both had a light lunch of ham and tomato sandwiches and a bowl of chips, they came with side salads and were very nice indeed

Upon arrival to the Wharf Tavern camping site we were greeted by smiling front of house . We set up caravan and went over to the pub for dinner . Food was lovely and we were greeted again with pleasant welcoming atmosphere and real log burning fire. A front of house man called Fred suggested I try the T-bone steak which was to die for . This pub is a really lovely relaxing place and everyone genuinely pleased to see us and thankful for the business I brought to them . Finally we had Sunday lunch with Three meat choice . I had Turkey and trimmings . It was so tasty and home cooked you could tell . I thoroughly enjoyed this weekend and therefore recommend 100%

We called in for lunch and on the whole the food was lovely. My ploughman’s wasn’t as good as normal, salad was mainly lettuce and filled half the plate. Draught ale was spot on as normal.

What a lovely pub? I'm usually quite fussy when it comes to Pubs & Restaurants. I can safely say that the Wharf Tavern pleased me. 😀 The food was lovely and filling. The staff were all friendly and pleasant. The Pub was clean and tidy. Sure it's a tad pricey, but you definitely get your money's worth. 😀 We'll definitely consider visiting again sometime in the future! 😀

We have been coming to the Wharf for many years and have never been disappointed with the service and excellent food! It seems no sooner you have ordered and the meals are being served to you! Generous portions and presented attractively. Keep up the good work folks!

We come here regularly to bring our caravan it’s so friendly, clean and quiet, we always book for evening meals and Sunday lunch, it’s the best place to eat food/staff and atmosphere is always the best, I’ve recommended to lots and they all feel the same, definitely 5*****

Ladies that lunch arrived at the Wharf Tavern in full sunshine. Beautifully kept grounds & peaceful surroundings. Everyone chose a different main - Lasagne, Prawn Sandwich & Salmon. All delicious & prompt service by the waitresses. Will definitely be back with hubby as noticed his fav ale Butty Bach is on draft. Minus one point because the toilets are quite small & did not prove easy to manoeuvre around the facilities.

One of the best Sunday lunches you will get. We've been coming here regularly for the last 12 months, and the food is first class. A good selection of beers, and friendly staff. Well worth a visit, especially in summer as a great canal setting.

Great meal will definitely go to the wharf again.will definitely recommend to friends and family. Nice friendly atmosphere.

Best pub roast dinner we had ever! super tasty & fresh food, service was friendly and will definately re-visit.. Thanks for a lovely Sunday dinner 😍

excellent location had a sunday lunch in the garden the food and service was excellent even though they were extremely busy if they could accomodate dogs in the pub then im sure it would be even busier im going to stay on their touring pitch and if they would allow dog owning caravanners to take food to their caravans it would be really attractive to stay

We have been here a few times now and always enjoy it. In a lovely spot next to the canal which is great to sit outside when the weather is good. The food is simple, but consistently fresh and well presented. Hence why we return.

Great restaurant fabulous food and brilliant service. Adam always has a warm welcome as soon as you walk through the door. All the staff are lovely and go out of their way to make sure you are happy with everything. We had the steak and kidney pie as always it's the best we've ever had. My son had the scampi fantastic all home made!!

Visited today with our walking group. Very organised serving our meals (29 of us) within a matter of minutes of each other. I had the ploughmans which was excellent and didn't skimp on quantity or quality. Others around me all seemed to enjoy their meal. Really nice pub in lovely location. Have been before and will go again although some distance from our home.

Fantastic food, well worth a visit. Friendly helpful staff. We went for a meal after my son and his new wife were married, we were so pleased we chose here it was lovely.

Four of us recently had Sunday lunch. None of us were disappointed…… There’s quite a varied menu for lunch. We all chose one of the roasts. Between us we had lamb and beef. They come with roasted and boiled potatoes and Yorkshire puddings on the plate and a dish of vegetables to share. We ordered cauliflower cheese as an extra. We left nothing; everything was cooked to order and was delicious. There was just the right amount for four hungry people. We shouldn’t have but we couldn’t say no to a pudding. The bread and butter pudding was delicious. If you want an honest, traditional no fuss Sunday lunch with fresh, well cooked delicious food The Wharf is the place for you. With the great service and delicious meals you’ll do well to find somewhere better.

Made a booking for Sunday roast. Good job, as it was very busy. Very helpful staff, our table was waiting for us. Quick and cheerful staff took our orders and the meals were delivered quickly. And they were excellent, I had roast beef, my Wife roast turkey. Supplied with fresh vegetables. The meals were delicious! For sweet we both had the honeycomb and chocolate cheesecake with ice cream. That too was equally delicious! Highly recommended!! One small niggle tho' very poor wifi! ( tho' rather nice to not keep looking at our mobiles and savour our food! )

Lovely pub right by the canal, nice beer garden where you can sit and watch the barges going past. Meals are of a high standard so can be busy on weekends. Be careful when coming out of the car park due to traffic coming over the nearby Bridge.

Excellent friendly staff Sharron and her team couldn’t be more helpful we have just had a vw camping weekend to celebrate Halloween 26 meals all came out piping hot all at the same time (I’m unsure how they manage this) all meals 100% right what more could you ask for? Caravan park facilities even in the bad weather always clean - this is how pubs and campsites should all be Hope to see you again Mark

Went with friends for Sunday dinner. Very busy, but no problem being served. We had the Sunday roast, and between us ordered beef, turkey, and lamb. The meals came with generous servings of vegetables, including bowls of cauliflower cheese, and Yorkshire puddings. The meat was lovely, with plenty of it. Our plates were very full, and so were we! Good puddings, and coffee afterwards. We will return soon!

SUNDAY LUNCH for a meat eater and a vegetarian. As a veggie, I wanted the full roast - roasties, vegetables, yorkshire pud but wanted to substitute the Beef for Cauliflower Cheese, which is a side order. I would have thought that was an easy thing to do, but no, it appeared not to be the case. “We can’t substitute”. Why is it difficult to leave the meat off the plate and add the cauliflower cheese instead. So I ended up ordering a roast beef meal, giving my husband my Beef and ordering a side of cauliflower cheese for £4.50. Quite unnecessary. The roast beef was good according to my husband, as was everything else it was served with. Just please cater for those of us who want a roast without the meat.

Went for dinner as moored our boat nearby for the night. Decent food, if a little expensive. Tried to go back for a drink in the afternoon a few days later - however the pub shuts mid-afternoon so we were disappointed. Lovely setting by the canal, and lots of outdoor seating so great for the summer.

Over priced, poorly conceived and average at very best. Distinctly average welcome, less than average service and poor food - but expensive. And - the only restaurant we have ever been in that does not offer starters - at all. For the No starters - we will never return and would advise anyone else to give it a miss as very poor. Gammon - you have to pay 75p extra if you want an egg on it - really. Lazy cooks as everything seems to Come with cheap onion rings, cheap coleslaw and a dreadfully presented salad.

A really well run pub that is always busy whenever we call. Worth booking. The staff here deserve a special mention, genuinely warm and interested with some banter on hand as required. Meals were great, well cooked. Good gluten free options clearly laid out on menu. Nice well kept range of interesting real ales.

A very friendly place great food attentive staff all service comes with a free smile our family always looks forward to dining there

Had lunch today and the food was so bland and dire. Steak was overcooked (medium ordered, but came as nearly well done), and lacking flavour and seasoning, and to be served with the most rubbish chips and packet onion rings for a hefty 24 pounds, inc the most un-tasty side salad - it's not much effort nowadays to have homemade onion rings and twice cooked thick chips, but that hasn't come to this establishment yet. Salmon was also overcooked and came with five boulder potatoes and some very overcooked vegetables. Seems to be a favourite for old people whom like the setting, but the food and menu could have a lot of improvement

We came for Sunday lunch with our children and grandchildren and had a wonderful time. The staff were plentiful, helpful and attentive. The food came quickly, was lovely and hot and tasted delicious. We had a toddler and a baby and were put on a large table which was so helpful as we had room to move around. We don't usually like eating out as service these days is usually so awful but we came because it was our ruby wedding anniversary celebration and had such a positive experience we will definitely be returning every time family visit. We will also be recommending you to everyone we know as good places to eat around here are few and far between. Added bonus was our grandson loved watching the barges chug by! Thank you to all the team.

We visited the pub today for drinks only to be told we had to sit outside because we weren't dining. Within five minutes it started raining. There was no shelter so we had to drink our drinks in the car. Not impressed. Some shelter or brollies could be provided especially for dog walkers.

Visited for lunch when in the area again. Still a good pub/restaurant. Had steak again! This place has a good butcher, steak was well cooked as ordered.

Had dinner one night whilst visiting area,Delightfully situated but hard to find only saw one small sign.Place quickly filled up even on a midweek night so obviously popular. Food was excellent,best gammon i have ever had and salmon went down well with wife.I wondered initially why there were no starters but having enjoyed the generous portions i now know why, 3 real ales but not dog friendly in pub itself which is unusual in this day and age

Lovey location on the edge of the canal which makes a perfect setting for lunch and drinks whilst enjoying the sunshine and watching the boats go by. Lunch was promptly served and was fresh and well presented. Service was good too. Will definitely be returning.

Visited for a midweek lunch with friends. Pleasant dining room overlooking the canal. We had very fresh scampi with light batter, excellent home-cooked steak and kidney pie with fresh veg and a stupendous burger. Accompanied by copious crisp, well-cooked chips. Plenty of other choices. We only managed a shared cheesecake after that, but it was home-made and very good.All served promptly by friendly and efficient staff, and reasonably priced.We will return: highly recommended.

We came her on bank holiday Monday at the beginning of May 2022 and we’re given a warm welcome and a great table and lovely service immediately.We both coded local ham and eggs and fries and I had a pint of Butty Back too. Simply excellent. Thank you. We will be back for sure after another Cheswardine walk.

Stopped here in the way north on the Shroppie for an overnight stop - made a booking thankfully as a busy place so would advise anyone else doing the same-the food is excellent surroundings beautiful and staff very attentive and helpful. Sharon-landlady- is fab. We enjoyed our food so much going north we booked ahead a few days later for our return south. Again busy and glad we booked -it was a Tuesday in April so not peak season. We were not disappointed the food and service was EXCELLENT again as were the staff. Sharon was very generous of her time chatting to us considering how busy the place is making us all feel VERY welcome even though we were not regulars!! Cannot fault the Wharf just fabThanks to Sharon and team

Stopped here for lunch, did not have a booking. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Hearty lunch had at very good prices. This stop is marked on my canal diary as an excellent stop over for narrowboat users

Moored our boat just across from this pub as we happened to be passing at lunch time. Walked in to lovely warm welcome from Adam behind the bar who didn’t seem bothered by our slightly dishevelled boating attire. This place must be good as it was busy on a Thursday lunchtime!We opted for sandwiches which were very good value for the size and absolutely delicious washed down with two halves of ale. Would definitely recommend this super place.

Been going to the Wharf Tavern for many years, generally for an evening meal, never been disappointed. Moored our narrowboat, rang for a booking for Sunday lunch, got the last available table. As always the tavern didn’t let us down, the roast lamb was beautifully cooked, gravy as good as “Mum makes”, copious amounts of vegetables to squeeze onto an already full plate. Don’t forget to choose a side order of cauliflower cheese! Fairly young staff very polite and efficient despite the restaurant being very busy.

The Wharf is a unique hidden gem.Delicious home cooked pub food with plenty of choice and generous portions The staff are so friendly with a special mention to Izzie who is very attentive and loves her job and of course Eddie who always gives you a special welcome.

Really busy service but the staff were attentive and welcoming. An excellent choice of beers and gins to suit everyone. Sunday lunch was brilliant and the vegetarian (me) who wanted a 'no meat' Sunday lunch was catered for with no dramas. Cannot recommend enough, great job team Wharf!! We will be back again.

Booked after seeing reviews. Not disappointed. Staff were very helpful food was served quickly and hot. Went on a Sunday so most of our family of 6 had the toast option it was absolutely yummy lots of choice and extras if wanted. We just about managed their delicious deserts and all went away happy and full. Does get busy due to their service food and location so book if you can. Worth every penny and more

This is how pub lunches should be - simple but good quality well presented food - good beers - excellent friendly service and good value for money. Add a great location with plenty of parking and you have the perfect formula - I just wish there were more places like this - Well done Wharf Tavern

We are just back from a fabulous 4 nights staying in the Boathouse cottage that is in the grounds of the pub. You cannot beat the location of this holiday let and the pub. All on one level, the view from every window is of the canal and boats going past. We caught some great fish and sat for hours relaxing. The pub does excellent home cooked food with great fresh veg. Sharon, her husband and all the staff are really Friendly and helpful. I must say it is essential to book a table as even in November it is really busy.We will definitely be back to the cottage, but would also like to have a touring caravan on the site belonging to them.If you want to chill in an unbeatable location then this is the place.

I stopped yesterday for lunch whilst my parents had come across to visit for a few days. The bar is absolutely stunning, warm and friendly. The food was really nice with very generous portion sizes. The bar quickly filled up with diners and it wasn’t hard to understand why. A beautiful hidden gem in the the Shropshire union canal I will definitely be returning again and would highly recommend to any one be it locals or people passing through.

We’ve visited many rated restaurants in the area but always return to The Wharf as it’s reliably fantastic food with brilliant service in a very scenic setting. Great variety of menus for lunches and dinners and sublime desserts-difficult to choose! We’ve never been let down with a booking and it’s a great meeting place for families and friends with a wonderful outside area near the canal in the warmer weather. Caravan and camping site with facilities for those who’d like to stay over. I can’t believe some of the negative reviews as in years of coming here, we’ve never, ever had disappointing meal or service.

Lovely clean quiet campsite and lovely pub serving great food all staff really polite and helpful would definitely go again

Stopped for lunch, sat outside lawn goes right down to the canal. Good service. Mum and I shared a ciabatta sweet chili chicken between us which comes with chips coleslaw and salad and was ample for us. Tasty.

Amazing food and service by Sharon and her wonderful team. Steaks and sides plus desserts were excellent. I didn’t phone until Saturday lunchtime as we planned to stay in to celebrate a birthday and at the time it was explained they were full but within ten minutes Sharon rang back to say they could fit us in. What wonderful service and how grateful we were. Thankyou so much for a wonderful evening. Everything was first class. X

Brilliant food. great garden right on the canal . Staff very nice great campsite can’t wait to return

A great place to stop coming off the motor travelling North from London. The menu was really interesting, totally suitable for a light meal and as a party of 6 so varied. We loved it.

We arrived at the wharf tavern Campsite on Friday 30th July for the weekend. What an absolutely lovely setting. Lovely walks along the canal many narrow boats to see. We ate in the pub both nights the food was absolutely amazing all homemade fresh and Hot fabulous staff fabulous clean and so friendly. The campsite is very nice and spacious pitches. Toilets and showers were clean.We will definitely return to such a lovely setting for a relaxing weekend.

Booked a Sunday lunch whilst in our caravan over the road….all the staff were very friendly and welcoming in spite of the ridiculous hot weather!! Did not wait long for our lovely dinner..😋👍

£17-50 for 2 very ordinary sandwiches made with very average boil in the bag bread, that came with a tiny ramekin of lettuce, a bit of coleslaw and a cherry tomato plus 2 black coffees (we ordered white!)Someone’s taking the mickey Do yourself a favour - go somewhere else

Excellent service by a young lad on arrival and table service was fab. food was amazing . The only down fall was the lady who cleared our plates was very miserable and rude with her attitude. we was on table 21 and had a 17.30 booking! other than that the rest of the staff was fab and very nice.

Lovely canalside pub for a family meal. Excellent value pub grub, no starters on the menu but not required due to large main sizes. Excellent side salads served too.

Honestly, it is the service that tainted our anniversary meal at the Wharf Tavern. The main woman (short brown hair, glasses) was one of the rudest people I've ever been served by, something must have been bothering her because absolutely everything seemed like an inconvenience to her. It was pretty busy, but she was acting as if it was the end of the world. She was even being rude to the other staff. My partner and I have both worked in very fast paced restaurants before so we know that it can be stressful, but this is never an excuse to rain on everyone's parade! The lad at the bar was absolutely lovely and his friendliness really made our experience better. Despite the poor service, the food is really lovely. I really enjoyed the burger, it is probably one of the best burgers I've had. Really good portion size with chips and salad. My partner ordered a medium-rare steak and it was definitely more on the well-done side, but no issue as he enjoyed his food too.Overall, I'm not sure if we would return to the Wharf Tavern. The food and location are great, but it's just a real shame that some of the service and attitude we received really let it down. It's not cheap either, so unless you want a dent in your pocket and an unhappy face waiting to see you, maybe find somewhere else.

We arrived at 2.20 pm on a Thursday lunchtime looking for food. We were told food finishes at 2 pm. but we could have drinks for another hour. However as we had two whippets we would have to sit outside in the wind and rain. I don’t think so. In the post- Covid world, pubs like this really do deserve to go out of business.

We enjoyed a fabulous lunch yesterday at our favourite pub by the canal. The staff have clearly worked so hard to make the pub COVID ready. The booking system was easy, the welcome was warm and efficient. Sitting in the immaculate beer garden in the sunshine was bliss. The staff are all so friendly. We had an excellent lunch and as ever the service was quick. So glad you are open again, thank you all for a lovely few hours.

We stayed at the campsite here in our campervan for one night. Sharon was amazing in fitting us in for lunch despite it being very busy. The food was so amazing that we went back for dinner!! This has to be the loveliest outdoor space that we have ever eaten in within the UK. The campsite is stunning too. Hard to beat this one and cheaper than most.The staff team are faultless...obviously highly selected and trained.Can’t wait to come back!!

At the last minute me and my partner decided to try to go out for lunch. Turned up at the last minute as they were finished serving food and they still managed to get us in. Amazing food, good portions excellent value for money. Although we turned up late still no pressure and no rushing from the staff. Beautiful area by the canal would be even more amazing in the summer 100% will return

We were in the area and referred to faithful Trip Advisor to find a restaurant! Impressed by the reviews we called and made a booking. As we drove down the country lane and over the humpback bridge we realised this pub would not get passing trade! It’s next to the canal and close to a camping site which looked cozy in the early evening light! We were made welcome and shown to our table next to a log fire! Orders were taken at the table! There are no starters and when the main courses arrived we could see why! I had breaded plaice and my wife had an enormous home made burger. Both were served with fresh salad and homemade coleslaw! Fries were served in a big bowl to share! We followed with cheese and biscuits to share! Plenty of cheese but could have done with more crackers! By the time we left the pub was buzzing. Lovely atmosphere, great service, covid safe including toilets, good value. A great dining experience that we could not have done without Trip Advisor!Highly recommended! If we’re in the area we will be back!

Went here last night with my wife and daughter for my first visitI can honestly say it was the best pub food we’ve ever had Everything was absolutely fantastic for all three of our main meals and our sweetsThe pub interior was so clean and welcoming and the staff were faultlessWill be visiting many more times due to our daughter moving to the area Thank you so much to everyone at the Wharf

I have been here many many times and never been disappointed. The place has a great atmosphere and friendly staff who rush effortlessly from table to table bringing fantastic food and drinks with a smile. I normally have the splendid scampi, home made and I can describe them as fluffy pillows of heaven. Meals are served with large portions of chips, vegetables or salad. The vegetables are particularly wonderful, normally with a delicious portion of cauliflower cheese. I can also recommend the Wharf burger, huge and tasty Puddings are to die for, a favourite is the strawberry meringue served with more cream or ice cream . My celiac partner is particularly impressed with the choice of gluten free offerings including more than one pudding, a real bonus for a celiac. Bakewell tart being a favourite My only wish is that the chips can be one day,more of a chunky size, maybe skins on? Not a fan of the skinny fries but alway happy to swap for a huge plate of potatoes dripping in butter.

Me, my husband, my mum and dad visited Wharf Tavern Friday till Monday. Campsite not suitable for children as it is very small and nothing for children on site. Nothing is in walking distance except the camp pub. We came for a quiet weekend with no children so suitable for us. Public toilet is very very clean. The food in the local pib is outstanding, from freshly dressed salad to the full Sunday lunch. Dogs are welcome on camp but not in the pub. Under covid rules you have book in advance your dining times. Highly recommend for couples for a break away. Excellent service and very friendly helpful professional staff. Very happy customers, will defiantly be back.

Always great quality service and price and large portions, all covid compliant with segregated seats and track and trace in place

Just had Sunday Lunch at the Wharf. Friendly atmosphere, good service, clean and SUPERB VALUE for money. To my mind the best place for a warm welcome and great food. So good we’ve reserved the same table for next Sunday. Thanks

We booked for lunch on Monday and with it being a lovely day we sat outside.What a beautiful setting the Wharf Tavern has, canal side, with countryside views and lots of wildlife. The portions were huge and the food was very tasty. Will definitely return.

During a 2-day canal boat training course, we moored by the Wharf Tavern and had an evening meal.The selection of beer is great, especially Butty Bach from my native land of Wales, a delicious brew.The owners son, who served us, was chatty, attentive and friendly.The food was very good. Perhaps a touch expensive but plentiful and fresh so I would suggest worth the money.The setting is gorgeous, especially is the weather allows you to sit outside.A friendly, welcoming pub with quality food and friendly staff. Don't hesitate to pop in for a visit.

Moored up across the canal and went here for dinner. Really really good. I had the scampi - not your usual frozen stuff, homemade and really tasty. It came with chips, a huge salad, and coleslaw. My wife had the veggie lasagna, also homemade and came with chips, coleslaw and a huge salad. The service was good and they were Covid aware too. Great food and good value.

Great welcoming by Sharon & the Team we had a little group meet up in the rally field followed by a meal in the beer garden on the Saturday evening, food as always was great and not an empty plate was left by anyone, all food was eaten came (due to social distancing) with 20 odd meals & extras all came out together and all piping hot - would recommend this place both for friendliness atmosphere and best of all great food

We had a delicious lunch with the family at the Wharf. We were out on a day boat from Norbury wharf and were able to moor up directly by the pub. Our food was ready in no time - large portions, delicious. Will come again!

Nice canal side pub with good camping facilities. V good food, a bit pricey but big portions. The hand battered scampi was the best we’ve had and the T-bone steak was excellent.

We booked in as a group of 8 with two children and were given a booth area which was fab - staff were very good with new rules in place and were very friendly. Menu looked great - many in our group went for a roast as it was a Sunday. The food was very plentiful and portions were great! Super tasty and all enjoyed their meal including the children. We look forward to a return visit next time we are that way on the canal!

The food is excellent and plenty to eat. Steak is a must cooked to perfection. The service and staff are fantastic nothing is any trouble so efficient. Highly recommend. Well done to the kitchen staff excellent top quality food. Well done to the Management Sharon and Paul Great establishment,location by the canel. Excellent team work. 10 out of 10

We visited The Wharf on a very, pre booked, busy night. A little unsure of what to expect, as this was our first eat out since the release of the lockdown.I was immediately put at my ease on entering the pub.All the staff were wearing masks, there was a hand sanitising station for use on entrance.The bar was shielded with perspex, although we did not need to go to the bar as we were promptly shown to our table. Drinks and food orders was taken there.The food was fast, efficient and catered well for our vegetarian needs. I visited the loos and they were spotless. Social distancing signs, were everywhere. Tables were labelled with max amount of people allowed to occupy each table.I watched as staff cleaned tables down between dinners, and they cleaned every part of the table, chairs and condiments. The menu was cleaned before handed to us too.This has to be a flag ship example ( pardon the pun, it is canal side) of exactly how it should be done. I assumed that EHO visited public houses to ensure all measures displayed here, so efficiently, had been their direction.But no, this has all been done by the owners and team of staff . Full marks all round.Will 100% be back soon. Thank you for making our apprehensive visit a totally relaxed one.J & K Boaters .

We visited the Wharf Tavern on Wed 19th August. Sharon and the team we’re fantastic, fitted us in short notice as we moored up close by and service all night was great. Food was lovely, scampi was tasty, lasagne’s freshly cooked to mention just a couple of the dishes we had. Loads of tasty sides with fries, salad and coleslaw. Lovely setting and lively atmosphere together with the tasty food made it a perfect evening...thanks Sharon & team!!

We had a lovely lunch with friends here today. The portions were absolutely huge, however the food was tasty. I enjoyed a ploughman’s lunch followed by Bakewell tart, my husband had a roast beef dinner followed by ice cream. Good pub grub in a traditional pub environment and reasonably priced. We will definitely return during our next canal boat adventure!

Basic pub food and an understandably limited menu so soon after pubs reopened in the UK after lockdown. Decent PubGrub, however, and huge portions. Social distancing measures in place but they seemed to be doing a roaring trade throughout the day and into the night. You'd be well advised to book ahead.

A great find! We stopped here on our narrow boat for a lunch break. We were a party of 9 and during these covid times they had offered us a nice separate ‘room’ for us. Portions were huge! Service was good. Great place for ‘pub grub’ with a lovely garden and view of the canal.

Very friendly staff , wonderful food 🥘 huge portions definitely recommend one meal would well feed 2.

Was a bit apprehensive as this my first time out for a meal since lockdown, top marks to Sharon and all her staff for making us welcome,relaxed and safe. See you next weds when we will be there with friends. Thanks, Sally P.

Cannot fault this pub for food. We all had something different and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Extensive menu with something for everyone. We even had puddings and the warm Bakewell tart was well worth the calories. Reasonably priced with great food.

Arrived at 2.30pm after service had finished but the staff still made us feel very welcoming and taking our lunch order. Food served piping hot and plentiful. Superb service. Sat outside by the canal with mum in her wheelchair watching the world go by. Summing up.. Peaceful

We ventured out to meet 2 friends, all very apprehensive ,In these strange times. But to get ready to go out, dress and all , we were thrilled, the girls made us feel very welcome and took all precautions to keep us safe and the Steak Just delicious . The gammon, and scampi , all just amazing, lots of veg.Thank you , just what we needed.

We have missed the Wharf and so were delighted to go back for lunch when it reopened. I have to say we were not disappointed as the food was its normal high standard and every precaution had been taken to ensure everyone stays safe with hand sanitiser, tables well space and staff earing masks to serve the food. Well done and we shall return soon.

Thanks to Sharon, Paul and ALL staff for all your hard work in making sure everyone is safe when visiting The Wharf. Everyone is making sure all who visit are looked after (maintaining social distancing, track and trace, table service and thorough cleaning) not only in the pub, but the caravan park too. You are all stars.

We came today with friends and had the Turkey and Beef sunday lunch which was amazing! The portion sizes were very good and the Yorkshire puddings were very tasty. The staff were all lovely and polite and service was great too. The puddings were amazing also.

I’ve just visited The Wharf and had a meal the service from staff was very welcoming and the food was fresh cooked lovely and even had a pudding sticky toffee absolutely amazing

Great food and brilliant service, we had table for 8 on Boxing Day and was fantastic. Everybody enjoyed the food and service is really good and friendly.

Took family for lunch & they all enjoyed it. Service very good & food local & fresh.Lovely venue by the canal.Will certainly go again.

It has been 5 years since we last visited The Wharf and we wondered after why it has taken us so long to do so. We arrived for lunch and were warmly welcomed being served by friendly staff. There were a good number of customers and a warm friendly atmosphere throughout.Our order arrived swiftly and we were presented with some great food and full plates. Sometimes when presented with a full plate of food the quality suffers BUT this was not the case here. We ordered scampi, steak & kidney pie, ham, egg and chips and a ploughmans. With the ploughmans they were also happy to swap one of the cheeses for another.Chips and veg that accompanied our meals arrived separately and were plentiful too.At the end of it we were too full for a dessert of which again there appeared plenty of choice.We had had a great family meal and I certainly recommend it for a visit. We will not be leaving it as long for our next visit.

Not been here before but thought we'd give it a go for a Tuesday lunch get together with a work colleague. Service at the bar was excellent as was the service at the table. Good choice of food and wht we had was nicely cooked and presented. Given that this was a Tuesday visit I was amazed at how many people were there - a sign of its popularity I guess.Would I go here again? A definite yes but just need to make sure I have a better satnav than the crappy one in my BMW given the remote location!

We go the the Wharf Tavern on a regular basis. The food is always excellent and the service is too. The staff are really lovely and can't do enough for you. The Sunday lunch is the best in Shropshire - it is so tasty - as good as you would do yourself at home! Even when they are really busy (which is all the time) you never have to wait long for your meals. Keep on doing what you do so well!

We go to the Wharf when we are staying in Market Drayton.This place is always great. Fabulous food but remember to book or you could be disappointed. The food and service are great and there is plenty of choice on the menu. Whatever you choose you will not be disappointed

We stayed on the wharf's caravan site with our tourer for three nights. Excellent site, could do with a shower, but the toilet block is clean and very well kept and with hot water. The Wharf Tavern itself is excellent, lovely meals and excellent prices and executed to perfection. I rarely order fish at "pubs" as tends to be overcooked and or over held - However the chef at the Wharf Tavern clearly knows what he's doing - Faultless - And I am picky. On the whole the bar staff were okay, most were friendly, it was only on the Saturday night that we were asked to queue at the bar by a member of staff for a drink top up during our meal. All other times we were supplied top ups at the table whilst we ate. The Salmon, Steak and even the Burgers are incredible value for money and of a high standard - Very pleased and will return

We all like Sunday roast and we always remember our grandmothers huge Sunday lunch but l swear that the wharf tavern comes very very close. No skimping on anything you leave fuller than a butchers dog. The place is a bit hard to find but it’s packed so early booking essential. Right by Shropshire Union canal lovely day out.

We had a very good Sunday lunch the food was excellent the service was also very good fitting us in at short notice

11 of us visited for Sunday Lunch. It was extremely busy, but this did not effect the service or food in anyway. We pre-ordered our choice of meat in advance, which meant there was no long waits for menus, order taking etc. Food was served promptly after seating. Everything was fresh, delicious and great portion sizes. Our party chose mainly beef and lamb and all commented on how tender the meat was and were all very impressed. Great quantity of veggies (broccoli, carrots, sprouts) served. Beautiful cauliflower cheese and Yorkshire puds!!! Excellent choice of desserts. Again all served promptly and got great reviews from all our party. Would definitely recommend and re visit. Make sure to book in advance.

Another great meal at the wharf with our parents. Lovely service with staff helpful but not overly in your face. All 6 meals arrived together and all hot, well apart from the ploughman’s luckily. This really is a great place to visit for good quality reasonably priced food.
