The best restaurants in Prees Shropshire West Midlands

Very disappointed meal in several ways, started off with Pate on the menu said was with a toasted bloomer and it came with toast slices. Soup was ok Within 30 seconds of our starters being taken off the table the mains turned up, without doubt these had been sitting under lamps, the Salmon was warm at best and the vegetables were cold for £20.95 shocking as was the response of the waitress, very little care or remorse, very disappointed as we have had good experiences here in the past. May not be calling or recommending anytime soon .

Stopped off at the Midway Truck Stop enroute to Devon for an All Day Breakfast, of which fully met our expectations, having stop here before a number of years ago.

Dropped in for a spot of lunch as we were passing through. Friendly staff. Decent menu at reasonable prices. Freshly produced food with decent portions. No WiFi.

Great food and lovely staff especially moey very helpful :)

Absolutely delicious home made food. We met friends for a walk around the beautiful farm and fields before a light lunch in the cafe. The Welsh rarebit was the best we’ve ever had (and we’ve had a lot!) and the reason for writing this review - everyone should try it! Sausage rolls were fantastic too. Really lovely cafe and great farm shop too!

Visited Prees fish & chip restaurant on a busy Friday evening in early August. The restaurant does eat in & takeaway. The place was busy. Good selection of food available. Nice open space with wooden table & chairs, clean and tidy. Tables also available outside. Drinks available at the bar where you order. A short wait and food was delivered to the table. We both had fish, chips & mushy peas. Food was fresh, hot and good quality. I know there has been historically some poor reviews, be have to say based on this visit, we had no complaints, and would definitely visit again.

Was really looking forward to eating here after reading the reviews but unfortunately it was disappointing. It was busy but the wait for the food seemed a long time. The beef was very fatty which was a shame, the veg and the Yorkshire pudding were ok. I had a crumble for pudding and expected some nice stewed fruit and a lovely crumble covering it but it was big lumps of fruit and some crumble on the top, the waiter didn’t tell me the dish was hot and it was extremely hot when I pushed the bowl to move it slightly. The staff were all very nice but the food maybe just wants a bit of refining and I think it would be a lot better. It wasn’t horrendous just could’ve been better.

We had a Sunday lunch and the meat was not good, the veg was terrible! The chicken seemed like a boiled breast and not roast, the veg on the plate was creamed celery, boiled courgettes and some very pale red cabbage (a seperate bowl with carrots, cauliflower was brought out for us all. The pic on their Facebook of roast beef is unfortunately not what you get. We didn’t complain on the day as we just wanted to leave. I’m writing a review now as I think you should be aware of what you’re going to get and there should be photos of the food they serve on Facebook etc. There also wasn’t a menu we were just told what meat was available. If we’d been asked about the veg that came with it we all would have asked for it not to be added. The two men who served us were absolutely lovely and it was a real shame the food let them down.

First time visit to the Gingerbread Man. Nice looking venue with plenty of parking. Lovely friendly staff. Not a lot of customers or staff. Ordered two lattes, one served in a chipped mug, changed without any problem. Ordered fish and chips. Chips ok, fish on the small side and dry. Ordered vegan burger with chips. Chips ok, burger rock hard. Complained, meal was changed without any problem. The kitchen manager described the burger as being like an ice hockey puck. We were offered complimentary dessert as compensation. Staff very apologetic. Very disappointed with the meal, will not eat here again. Can understand why there were very few customers.

Excellent clean old style pub top class pool and 3 snooker tables, friendly and good prices cheers Rob

I called into this establishment three years ago with my elderly father whilst on-route to Ludlow. I had often passed this Cafe and that day I decided to try the food. In retrospect, wished that I hadn't stopped. And judging from the current reviews from others, I can clearly see that nothing has improved. There wasn't anyone in when I entered and the lady behind the counter (presumably the owner) wasn't of the welcoming ilk. Her 'froideur' didn't run well with the cafe and she made us feel downright unwelcome. Her whole 'being' seemed to generate an awkward atmosphere that made you feel more like a minor inconvenience than a customer. That aside, I stayed and ordered. Our order was taken by a man who I assumed was the husband. He was more personable and approachable and we ordered a breakfast. I made the profound 'faux-pas' by asking for scrambled eggs which earned me the almost shocked response of 'I'm sorry, but Debs doesn't do that'. (Cue the distinctly awkward moment that makes you feel that you're in a bad Terry and June BBC comedy sketch from the 1980s.) The whole dining experience there was a farce. The meal wasn't the best nor was it enjoyable in such drab and unwelcoming surroundings. The greatest comedy value for me were the signs dotted about saying, 'Ask Debs' if you require anything. Oh, the sheer irony of it! Ask a woman who doesn't want to make even a modicum of conversation with you. My only conclusion to this absolute travesty that attempts to pass for a 'cafe' is simply to avoid it. When on the A49, please divert your eyes away from 'Debs Cafe' and drive on. I'm sure that other establishments will give you a far better welcome than this miserable place.
