The best restaurants serving Default food in Cleobury Mortimer Shropshire West Midlands

Just had a family meal (9 of us) and I have to say the food was second to none, with exceptional service. The beer is pretty damn good too. Well done to Dean, Jo, Charlotte and Ollie and thank you.

Polite staff, enjoyed our breakfast, priced really well

Everything you need in a pub, friendly welcome, great service, good food, nice setting, outside area and a good cider at reasonable prices. Highly recommend!

Easter Sunday lunch. We have lived in the area several years now and have tried the pub a few times. The positives are they have a lovely open fire place and sell local ales which is lovely to sit in front of with a pint. The staff are friendly and welcoming on the whole. Been a few times for normal lunch (burger and fries) and has generally been ok. We booked for Easter Sunday lunch. Aware the pub has now been bought by a group that own several other pubs so think the number calls through to a central location. Took a week of calling through each day to eventually be able to book. Expected it to be busy but it was only us and a few other tables having sit down meals. Starters were nice, although took a while to arrive. We ordered 1 chicken and 3 beef for our main meals. £25 per head for 2 courses. Chicken was ok, although when we asked for more gravy we were told there was no more (booked for 3:15). The beef (sold as Herefordshire beef) was completely inedible, really odd powdery texture, tough, really hard to cut and, far too chewy. Potatoes were described as cooked in duck fat. They were also tough to cut through, dried out as if they had been reheated a number of times. The chicken came with stuffing which was claggy and tasteless. Rest of the vegetables were ok. None of the party that ate the beef had more than several bites and then informed the waitress it was completely inedible. She apologised and took the plates away. We ordered another round of drinks and one of the party had a dessert which was nice. On leaving we asked for the bill and the waitress asked if our meal was ok (the same waitress we informed our meal was pretty much inedible), apart from our main?! She did tell us that she had informed the chef that we were not happy with our meal and that he had apologised. Unfortunately this didn’t come across as very genuine given she had her back to us when passing on this apology. We were then initially over charged for our meal (charged us for 3 courses each) and had to scrutinise the bill further before paying. Overall the experience was very poor. We weren’t looking for reductions or freebies. We were honest and upfront about the poor quality of our food without causing a fuss or deliberate embarrassment to the pub. We felt like we were treated with contempt by the place. Not a genuine apology, no chef or management that had the thought or care to come and either find out more about what was wrong or apologise in person. It’s a shame for the business most of all though because had that of happened this public review probably wouldn’t have needed to be written. Bill paid in full (over £150) for substandard meals and a few drinks for 4. Go elsewhere, plenty of nice pubs nearby with quality food.

Our family party of 18 people celebrated a joint 18th and 60th birthday on Saturday 8th February 2025. Huge compliments to the chef for our meals… the food was fresh, tasty, well presented and good portion sizes too! Great value. We had a variety of meals including some starters. Also, thanks to our wonderful waitress who took our drink orders and looked after 18 of us all evening. Thank you for the birthday banner, 18 and 60 cards, which was thoughtful and much appreciated. I know the beer drinkers in the family would want me to mention the real ale was a big hit too!

Super fish and chips, staff very friendly would not hesitate to recommend, I have been several times as local and always great quality with lots of choice

Not nice food, BBQ spare ribs were awful and ended up in the bin. Salt n pepper Chips were soggy and loads of raw onions. Beef in the curry was like chewing rubber, not a pleasant curry at all. Just wish we had read the reviews before ordering. Will deffinately not go there again, total waste of money.

Pathetic service, food turned up cold and inedible, when I contacted the online bot I was told to supply the food back to them for a refund. Simply appalling service
