The best restaurants serving British food in Telford and Wrekin West Midlands

Visited with friends for mid week lunch. Comprehensive menu, nice small plates a bit short on vegetarian options Drinks orders taken and filled quickly, 40 minutes for service of food. All our options were tasty, nicely presented and of a good size. Service friendly and professional. Lost a star because 17 diners on 6 tabl3s were all crammed into a very small area - very noisy conversation almost impossible. The rest of the large restaurant was completely empty so this was not necessary

Superb hotel. Very clean and tidy. Staff are very pleasant to deal with. Excellent all round. I would be very happy to stay here again.

Awful. I can appreciate that they were busy but the service from start to finish was dire. Had a table booked. Sat us at a table that was only half set up. Asked staff to make up the rest. Ignored. Waited ages for a menu with staff just walking past us not giving a toss. O service of any kind. Had to repeatedly ask for a menu. Food came. All burnt. I've never seen such cremated veg. You could have used it for charcoal. At nearly £17 a pop it was horrendous. They gave 3 of us the same sized veg bowl as tables for two were getting. Hardly any veg. I hadn't asked for anything at all and I asked a member of staff for some horseradish sauce. Some girl covered head to foot in tattoos. She widened her eyes at me in a way she must have thought was threatening and was so rude to me and told me to wait. I've literally never seen such a rude waitress. She will do that to someone one day and get knocked out. Had to go to bar to pay. No one came to see how our food was. My partner told them all the food was burned. Staff didn't care. Don't waste your money on anything but a drink here. Beautiful location shame about the rest.

We stayed in the Travelodge next door, so decided to eat here as so convenient. It looked quite rundown from the outside, so were a bit worried what it would be like on the inside. It looked a little better on the inside, but it was very dirty, especially the floor all around the table we were directed to sit at. Obviously a family with young children had been there before us, but no attempt of sweeping up all. What a shame as the food was decent, the best roast lamb I've had in ages and the vegetables were nicely cooked. We went back for breakfast the following morning, again the food was fine, the service was ok, I asked for scrambled eggs, I was told it would take a few minutes, duly arrived perfectly cooked. We decided to use the toilets before we left, really, really dirty and in desperate need of redecorating. Sad to say but it has put us off Toby carvery restaurants. There is no excuse for such poor standards of cleanliness.

Very expensive at the restaurant, pity they didn't do special offers Sometimes for members, !! It was also expensive in the garden centre. I don't know what it is with these garden centres they are so overpriced with everything.

Genuinely don’t understand the negative comments about this lovely establishment. My daughter and I travel from Shrewsbury regularly for their superb carvery… never ever had a disappointing visit. The staff are very welcoming and helpful… I must mention NATHAN the carver in Particular, he is always very helpful and greets everyone with a huge smile and lovely humour there is absolutely no doubt that he is a huge asset to Toby Carvery. Thank you again Apley team for another delicious lunch.

Stopped by for a coffee whilst walking in the area. Lovely garden seating area. The coffee was average but it is a great place to stop at and enjoy the scenery. They have a few snacks and also ice cream. I was told it has been taken over by a charity helping ex-convicts so it deserves some patronage if you are passing.

Only Sunday roast is available but it’s amazing! friendly staff and locals, felt welcome considering I’m not from around these parts

We have experienced some poor meals out this year but lunch today at The Grazing Cow[ was possibly the worst to date. No welcome at all. Immediately noticed that staff looked as if they had collectively received bad news. If the quality of the food served today is their usual standard, then bad news re redundancy should be in the offing. My wife had the Sunday roast, with dried out turkey and - God help us, mange tout. Really - a pathetic veg at its best, a few peas, small pieces of potato [no sign of roast ones]. Dreadful. My Hunters chicken schnitzel may be the worst meal I have ever had out.. I thought I was chewing a re-fried bagel. There was an awful sauce - well a dab of it. And even my wife, a practiced exponent of constructive feedback, could not face what might have been the Massacre of the Innocents. I'm not going to add any positive feedback now. Except to say that the manager and owner should take action.

Ordered a delivery, then cancelled 20 mins later as they had not started preparing the food and thought we would go there in the car instead but they do not refund the money. Lost over £20x won’t ever use again

Management stick 100% with staff but REFUSE to hear anyone else’s opinion on what happened. Even though they have cameras.
