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

Fish and chips with a difference… a prime piece of haddock. The crispest batter… the chips are amazing… and oh those crushed peas. Shame it’s only on a Thursday. Wonderful. Thanks to Chef Blaine and th inimitable Michelle front of house.

We visited on February 2nd 2025 as an early birthday meal. We were greeted as we entered and got drinks to take through to our table. The service was very organised and polite. The food itself was incredible! Honestly blown away and so glad we took the 30 minute car journey from Shrewsbury to visit. It did not disappoint and we will 100% be back with our dogs since it’s dog friendly. We forgot to ask for their music playlist as it was playing music by artists such as Bing Crosby. Rosemary Connnelly and Nat King Cole. That kinda vibe and it was just perfect. We had the 8oz Welsh rump steak, with chips and the blue cheese sauce and a double steak burger with fries. For starters I had the chicken liver pate and the buffalo hot wings. Very good portion sizes too!

My partner and I, along with 2 other couples, visited this pub after walking carding Mill Valley. We were shown to our table after only a 5 min wait on a busy Sunday and provided with the Sunday lunch menu. There were multiple things out of stock, which wasn't really much of an issue as there were lots of alternatives to choose from (even for our veggies in the group). The waiting staff were friendly, helpful, and obviously apologetic about the missing menu items. The food came quickly and was well portioned among the sharing items for the Sunday lunches . There was also live music within the venue at the time if visiting, which was a very nice surprise! The pricing was also mid range as we all spent about 15-20 pounds per person. Would 100% come again to try their weekday menu when we are back in the area walking/hiking the valley.

Mary ann was an amazing server. I got the lemon drop martini, scallops, & the oysters. Everything came in a timely manner and the service was even better :) Definitely worth it to dine here and great bartenders as well.

First visit here to meet family on a Sunday morning. Quirky is an understatement as I wasn't sure I had the right place. Breakfast choice and quality is good along with excellent coffee...fresh cake choice is also on the money as some of our party participated...overall the young staff here run an excellent cafe and I would definitely visit again.

My friend and I visited Heather and Batch today and we had a lovely piece of cake and drink. The staff were genuinely lovely and really helpful.

Just been out for a wonderful meal. Service was friendly. Ambience was relaxed. Food was delicious - especially the deep fried plum tart. Will definately be back

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

If I could I'd eat the corn bread every day Mmmmmm. Huge sandwich's I can't eat a whole one. So I leave the gooey brownies till the next day. xXx

The cafe is efficiently run and we enjoyed the rooftop seating in the sun today. Unfortunately the scone was stale. Quite a shocker for me! What a shame :(

Went for Valentine’s Day lunch. So impressed, had the nut roast followed by crème brûlée, absolutely delicious. Feels like there’s real care involved with everything on the plate! The complimentary glass of cava for me was a lovely touch ❤️. Great service and atmosphere and we will be back for more!

Staying local so booked in for Sunday Lunch today. Certainly not disappointed, we had an amazing Sunday roast dinner beef and pork. Really well presented with side dishes of wonderful fresh vegetables, cabbage carrots and beans, you rarely get fresh vegetables now a days. We also had gorgeous Dauphinoise potatoes. We shared a huge Aston Mess their take on Eaton mess, so much fruit and cream yummy. The couple running the pub are so very nice, sad that it was so quiet but guess late in season. We did go back later for their Open Mike evening which was very well attended such a great community atmosphere. We will definitely be back and wish you both good things. P.S. Thank you for finding my bracelet too.
