Valentines Special

It’s a very special eaterie indeed that gets the 5* seal of approval from our panel of reviewers, so we’ve rounded up our highest scoring restaurants to give you inspiration for a romantic meal out.

If you’re planning a jaunt to Ironbridge, how about the Chez Maw restaurant at the Valley Hotel, which uses local ingredients to conjour up dishes like Wenlock Edge tenderloin of pork and oak-smoked salmon with wasabi ice-cream. It’s All About Me was another Ironbridge favourite, with a fun pink exterior and a warm welcome inside.

If you live near Shrewsbury, the stately Albrighton Hall is a real treat, while Mid Wales visitors should try cosy eaterie The Corn Store in Welshpool.

South Shropshire diners should make a date with the legendary Mr Underhills at Dinham Weir, where our reviewer found “everything is made in-house, from the breakfast croissant and sour dough bread to petits fours and chocolates.”
