The best restaurants in Much Wenlock Shropshire West Midlands

Visited the Gaskell Arms with a group of friends for a Christmas meal. We have had quite a few nice meals there previously so we were looking forward to it We had booked our table quite a few weeks previously and one of our party rang the day before to confirm the booking. We were eating our main courses when we were approached by a member of staff and told the kitchen was closing which was a bit of a surprise as it was only 8.30pm. She said that if we wanted desserts we needed to order them straight away. As we were the only table left in the dining room we felt very rushed at this point, quickly finished our meals, did not order dessert and had coffee in the bar. Whilst we appreciated we were the only table left in the dining room, this was not our fault. Maybe when the member of our party had rung to confirm the booking the previous day, we could have been asked to arrive earlier which we would have done. One of our party had arranged to be picked up from the venue at 10.30pm but we were approached just before this and told the place was closing. Not a good end to what was a disappointing evening.
