Dog And Bull - Shropshire

I made a reservation for Christmas lunch at this restaurant and I am so glad I did. The food was absolutely fantastic - the roasted turkey with all the traditional accompaniments was delicious, and the vegetable dish was an amazing array of fresh options. There was so much food that we couldn't finish it all. Despite the pub being busy, the service from just one waitress and the manager was impressive. It was clear that the restaurant is well-managed. It was definitely worth the money spent.

We were recommended this pub in the area by the visitors book and decided to make a reservation for a table for two with our dog. Upon arriving, it was very busy with large parties and we couldn't locate our reserved table. We asked at the bar but no one seemed to be seating people. It appeared that our booking was not written down, so we were given an unreserved table and menus. We had to order at the bar due to a shortage of waiting staff. Despite waiting 45 minutes for our meal, no one came to update us on the delay. The wait was so long that a nearby couple had finished their meal, ordered dessert, and left before we were served. When our food finally arrived, it was lukewarm, especially the vegetables, and the beef was very rare, even though we weren't asked how we wanted it cooked. It seemed like the restaurant had taken on too many bookings and the staff appeared disorganized.

A truly lovely and down to earth pub. Dog friendly, good range of real ale and good delicious menu. We were drawn to the pub as it was closest to where we were staying and with the awful weather we thought it best not to travel to far. A good result all round. Great food, great atmosphere and good evening

We enjoy the ambiance of this restaurant and often come with our family. However, during our visit last night, there was an issue with the cream in our dessert. After bringing it to the attention of the bartender, she displayed a terrible attitude, stormed into the kitchen without saying a word, and later returned to our table to slam the dessert down, claiming she had tasted it and it was fine. She angrily told us to eat it, mentioning that it was vanilla added by the chef the day before. This behavior is unacceptable in a customer-facing role. Despite this, the manager handled the situation well. It was disappointing to experience such rude behavior from a member of the staff, leaving a negative impression on our overall dining experience.

I came on today at lunch time and absolutely loved it. I walked in and no one was there but the man out front was going above and beyond for me, my mum and my sister. Excellent service.
