The best restaurants in Ellesmere Urban Shropshire West Midlands

Stopped here for dinner on a Friday evening as was staying in the area. Very friendly welcome and great service. Food was amazing fresh and tasty. Great atmosphere and would highly recommend booking before hand as was very busy

Visited following a recommendation and needed to cool down after a long day in the heat. Great selection of ice cream and sorbet. We had the sorbet and was very tasty and refreshing. Service was friendly and price was reasonable

Ordered a takeaway tonight for me and the family. It was amazing, the quality of the food was outstanding. Very happy definitely will be ordering again soon 😊

We had been to another cafe for a coffee, popped in to Moolah as I was curious to see what it was like . Wish we had came here first. Such a lovely feel to this place, the staff are so friendly. I had a look around , lovely fresh produce and lots of things to look at, the cafe area was so welcoming , I promptly called my husband in to have tea and cake, our dog Dolly was also made welcome with free treats. The loose leaf tea and apple cake were delicious. Chatted to friendly locals. This was such a lovely experience , we will definitely be back and highly recommend .

Such a nice place for fresh drinks, coffees. You can find some snacks, cakes and tasty desserts. You can seat or you can take away

Such a friendly and fun pub. We were visiting Ellesmere and needed a dog friendly place with food and good beer. I cannot rate this place highly enough. The staff went out of their way to ensure we were able to move inside to eat as our outside table’s heater wasn’t working. Despite the pub being super busy on a Saturday night they made this work. Such a friendly bunch of people. Wish we lived close by.

We visit regularly this restaurant, and we always feel very satisfied with the food, service and whole experience. Today we visit for the Halloween and my daughter loved it. Pumpkin carving, games, and as always delicious food. Thank you. We be back soon.

The online booking system via ‘Open Table‘ works and we were greeted and shown to our table on arrival. The room was nice and warm and we received menus swiftly. When we were asked for our drinks choice, we decided on 2 cocktails and a bottle of red Greek wine. I chose the most expensive wine and was told that they didn’t have any left. So I asked for the next best Greek red wine to be told that they don’t have any because they were waiting for a delivery. As we were about to order the Meat Meze for 4 people (a Tapas-style menu with a variety of dishes), we did not want white wine with it and also did not want to order any non-Greek wine, which would have defeated the object. Since the only one left now was the Greek house red, we went for that. The cocktails, according to our 2 ladies at the table, were delicious but small but the house red was in a bottle without any label and tasted thin and instantly forgettable. The first course of the Meze arrived promptly and comprised of Greek salad, pitta breads and dips (hummus, tzatziki and tahini), which all looked nice and seemed freshly made. The pitta bread was nice, warm and fluffy. This was followed by a course of dolmades (rice-filled vine leaves), meatballs and butterbeans in tomato sauce. So far, so good but unfortunately this is where the positives ended for me. By that time the Greek music blaring from the loudspeaker was loud enough to compete with our conversation. The music had also switched from melodic instrumental Greek music to some woman and man singing songs in an agitated voice that suggested to us that some tragedy must have happened!! Then a bowl of chips arrived but nothing else, so we were waiting for the main meat dish of chicken and pork skewers and sausages. Time to contemplate the decoration in the room: If we were looking forward to some nice Greek-style décor, we had clearly chosen the wrong time to go, as the room was full of Halloween stuff mixed with leftover decoration from (brace yourselves) the Munich Oktoberfest (beer festival in Germany)!! The first ‘thing’ to arrive (before the meat dish) was the house cat, which would have been a nice authentic touch to the evening (if you have ever been to Greece, you will appreciate my sentiment) if it wasn’t in conflict with any restaurant hygiene 101. In anticipation of the meat course, the cat took up its position under our table begging for attention. The meat did arrive once we had eaten 3⁄4 of the chips (which were nice) but having eaten pork & chicken skewers in Greece many times, the chicken was on the dry side and the pork tough and hard to cut. By the time we had eaten and finished the bottle of red wine (which has zero effect on us) I was pleading with our table guests to pay up and go before my ears started bleeding due to the relentless yodelling coming from the loudspeaker. In summary: There are certain things that makes me reluctant to recommend this place. • They allow dogs as well as their own cat to roam the place. • Nobody asked if we had ever set foot into a Greek restaurant or have ever been to Greece and therefore know, how a ‘Meze’ works. • Not being able to serve Greek wine in a Greek restaurant even though, if a delivery has been delayed, they could have sourced Greek wine in the many supermarkets and wine outlets in Shrewsbury, is quite simply unforgivable!! • The décor needed to shout GREECE, not Halloween, not Germany, not . . . ! and the music needed to be BACKGROUND music and not shout at all. • The food was neither bad nor exceptional but throughout our visit nobody ever asked what we thought of it. I say ‘nobody’ . . . the reason for which might lie in the fact that we only ever saw the waitress who served us. No owner, no other staff, no cook, no Greeks!!

A great locals pub, its full of characters, staff included. It may not be for you if you're under 45.

Lush salads for the troop - To take into work to keep us healthy order at 8am ready to collect! We have the sandwiches and picky tray cakes for home! Absolutely wonderful very very fresh and tasty 😋. Thankyou petes cafe !

We moored in Ellesmere on our narrowboat holiday and went in search of something to eat. Not wanting a full-blown restaurant meal we dicovered the Coco Coffee Bar. We made the right choice. The jacket potatoes are simply gorgeous. With a large enough variety of fillings to suit most tastes. Accompanied by a nice, crisp, fresh salad. As it was a really hot day we all had soft drinks so, unfortunately, can't comment on the coffee. However, the lady owner was really friendly and chatted with us for quite a while, which was lovely. (We were the ones enquiring about the drop peppers). If you are in the area, don't walk past this little gem.

Food in here is bang on never had a bad meal always full of flavour and good portions

We gave this place a try, as it was recommended by our campsite owner. Top notch breakfast, value for money, and friendly also easy parking nearby.😁👍

Good place and an amazing memory.
