Charlton Arms Hotel, Ludford Bridge

Star rating: *** This is a very difficult food review to write - because I had a bad experience with two courses and my partner had three very good courses.

The Prince of Wales, Shrewsbury

Star rating: ***
It’s been a difficult time for local boozers. Credit crunches mean people pull punches when it’s time to get a round in. Pubs that aren’t all-singing, all-dancing purveyors of round-the-clock thrills are seeing their profits fall faster than house prices.

La Trattoria, Shrewsbury

Inside La Trattoria, Shrewsbury

Star rating: *** Just this once, I’ll start with an apology, writes reviewer Andy Richardson. In recent years, diners at La Trattoria, in Shrewsbury, have been greeted by printed table mats featuring photocopies of Shropshire Star reviews.

Albion Inn, Wem

Star rating: **** These days, you almost take it for granted that pubs will serve some kind of food. But it’s not an assumption you’re wise to make in the north Shropshire market town of Wem, writes carl Jones.

The Swan Inn, Knowle Sands

Star rating: ***** ReX M Key is mightily impressed with an unusual boiled egg, as well as the rest of the food, at a restaurant overlooking the Severn Valley just outside of Bridgnorth.

The Station Grill, Llansantffraid

Star rating: **** Abigail Bates and a friend were impressed by the efficient and friendly service at The Station Grill in Llansantffraid, but harboured a few qualms about the food. 

The Bulls Head, Rodington

Star rating: **** It’s not often you come across a country pub that ticks all the right boxes, when it comes to food, service and surroundings, but The Bulls Head at Rodington does just that, writes Cathy Stanworth.

The Shropshire, Muxton

Star rating: ** Over previous years, The Shropshire at Muxton has always been one of my favourite haunts, writes James Shaw. But a return visit ends in disappointment.

Curshaws at the Park, Whitchurch

Star Rating: *** Ian Harvey discovers a smart and lively place to eat on the edge of a normally sleepy north Shropshire town.

The Clock Tower, Donnington

Star Rating: **** James Shaw and his wife find The Clock Tower ticks all the right boxes and are very satisfied with the standard of the meals and professional service.
