1. The Station Inn - Church Stretton
Rated 4.7 stars by 553 reviews. Top review: 'We love this place. Never had a bad meal, service is always wonderful, and it’s the first place we think of whenever we want a nice meal out. Has really ruined steak for us anywhere else though! Hope no one reads this review… really want to keep it all to ourselves.' | Google Maps

3. The Church Inn - Ludlow
Rated 4.6 stars by 906 reviews. Top review: 'The food was absolutely delicious and we all enjoyed what we ordered, especially the black pudding scotch egg. We ate in the restaurant which provided a nice atmosphere. We will be back soon.' | Local Library

4. Abbey Shrewsbury - Vik's
Rated 4.6 stars by 108 reviews. Top review: 'The service was second to none, you feel you are a valued customer from the moment you walk through the door. Food on both menus is excellent but this visit the Saag Chicken was sublime and even items such as the poppadoms are served in interesting ways with special dips & to a high standard. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed. The dining experience and service exceed expectations, being taken to your table is a lovely touch - thank you.' | Google Maps
