The best restaurants in Bishop's Castle Shropshire West Midlands

We arrived at Bishops Castle on a Wednesday, the first day of our walking/hiking holiday. Not many things were open on Wednesday between lunch and dinner, but The Six Bells was open and the perfect place for an afternoon beer or cider with lots of outdoor seating. The weather was beautiful and it was a lovely way to enjoy the outdoors with a drink.

Another nice meal at The Tuns, steak and moussaka, all staff lovely. Like Castle Resident, I find the 2 star reviewer’s comments somewhat harsh. Having been given a replacement meal, why expect to get it free if the replacement was good? No complaints from them about the food, which is always good in our experience. Wobbly table? Come on - the pub is almost 400 years old, with wooden flooring, put a beer mat under the table leg. I don’t leave bad reviews, only 5 stars based on what the venue is trying to achieve. The Tuns isn’t aiming for gastro pub status but it is a good pub and the food is good, with staff always aiming to please, and we have rated 5 stars on this basis. Come on everyone - if you have had a nice meal at The Tuns please leave a review accordingly. The hospitality industry in general needs all the help it can get, not uncalled for negativity.
