The best restaurants in Church Stretton and Craven Arms Shropshire West Midlands

Great place to study and staff are super nice, but needs to be warmer - cold makes me leave even though I don't want to and I'm keeping all my layers on

Beautiful old pub dating back to 1593. Good beers and ales. Solid pub food , portions hearty. One point about the service, it is genuinely friendly, on the day suffered from some kitchen meltdown so food taken 45 minutes to arrive but we were told about it and went ahead so no complaints

Really great place for church stretton. Bring the only Thai restaurant, thank goodness it is so good! Booking recommended but they made space for us always.... friendly family atmosphere by the owners. Courteous as you can get..

Great food and service here. Plus you didn't have to sit in traffic to get to other restaurants near Ft Meyers Beach

Love this place. Proper home cooked food. You might have to wait a bit longer but everything is cooked fresh and it shows. The staff are lovely and welcoming and always seem to enjoy working there.

Completed online booking form to book a table for a birthday meal to never receive any confirmation. Attempted to phone… phone number not in use. Used the online WhatsApp system… my message was read and never replied to!!! Awful customer service and have booked elsewhere instead.

Great pub, Great atmosphere, Excellent owners 😀

Lovely pub. Staff are very helpful and friendly and a truly wonderful atmosphere here. Excellent food and very reasonably priced with a varied menu. The pub is dog friendly and definitely one of our firm favourites in the area! Very popular pub and it is not hard to see why.

Used to be excellent Gone downhill since brewery took it over and George left. A shadow of its former self.

Wow. Popped into here on a Thursday night on my own, super cheery and polite. Walked up the bar with my wallet open ready to buy a pint and the old fella behind the bar gives me a smile. Before buying my pint I said: "Hello mate! I've parked my van in the little car park over the road, do you think I'll be alright for the night?" His face turns from ruddy friendliness to the suppresed rage of the Shropshire elderly gentleman. "You're not sleeping there?". "I was thinking to, yeah". "You're not sleeping there, no." "Oh OK not to worry I'll move it". I cross the road and jump in my van and drive up the road to park up (totally legally) at the kerbside. At this point the old fella comes out of the pub, red faced with fury. "you're not parking there." "Mate, with respect you don't own this bit of road, if I want to park here I can" "Well you're not coming in my pub". A staggeringly hostile interaction with an unbelievably unpleasant man. Do yourself a favour and spend your money somewhere less disgustingly aggressive.

11 of us visited on a Monday evening for a family get together. The menu choice was extensive and everything we ordered was tasty, full of flavour and generous size portions. It was served in very good time and piping hot. One of our party had pizza and that was delicious too. The waitress was respectful and friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Possibly some of the best curries we have had!

Mid walk my husband had factored in this pub. Food lovely, warm and welcoming atmosphere. Absolute value for money £14.50 for a main and dessert off of the specials

Passing Craven Arms on my way back home to Wales, I popped in for haddock & chips to take home. Knowing it would take me a while to get home, they paper-wrapped everything, and then very kindly wrapped everything in foil to help keep it warm! The food was absolutely delicious. Thanks Freemans! I was tired out after a long journey, didn't feel like cooking, and this hit the spot 10/10. Although I don't pass that way very often at dinner time, when I do, I make a point of popping in.

I booked this for my 50th birthday - firstly because I used to play golf at Church Stretton and so have many fond memories of being there as a kid, and secondly because we'd been there for a tapas evening previously and the food was fantastic. Everything that Rita made for the grazing table/buffet was amazing (especially the home-made scotch eggs). It also looked amazing and the birthday cake was delicious. Ben and his team gave great friendly service from behind the bar and ensured that all of our guests had a great time. There was a large screen TV, so we also managed to have the Word Cup rugby on. Nothing was too much trouble. We hired a local singer, who they managed to make room for in addition to the 75+ guests. Highly recommended as a venue. It was so much cozier/nicer than a village hall, and it was great to have the whole place to ourselves which you don't get at a pub/restaurant. This was in winter and so it was dark outside, but in summer it has lovely views over the town

Lovely hosts. The food and location are excellent. Couldn't be more welcoming. Thank you folks!!!!
