The Castle - Shropshire

The restaurant had a nice atmosphere with clean tables. The food was good overall, but there were a few things that could have been better. The hummus came with focaccia, which was hard and there wasn't much of it. It would have been better with flatbreads or pita. The texture of the hummus was also too smooth for my liking. The bouillabaisse was tasty, but I had requested no mussels if possible. The waitress said the chef could pick them out, but most of what I received was mussels with very little fish. The rest of the meal was enjoyable and the staff were polite and professional. The restaurant was dog-friendly and they even provided biscuits for them. However, our three courses were rushed through and we were finished within 45 minutes of arriving, which was disappointing.

We dined at this restaurant for two evenings during our stay in the area. We enjoyed the appetizers, but I was not impressed with the burger as I felt the quality of the meat could have been better considering the price. While it is not the most affordable option, I would still consider returning. Additionally, they offer gluten-free options.

We had a fantastic lunch at a charming restaurant. The Shropshire fidget sausage and mash, as well as the fish and chips, were both nicely presented and a generous portion. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and highly recommend this place!

Arrived for a late lunch and to try the acclaimed local beer XXX (Three Tuns Brewery). Friendly staff served up a quality meal for us both (Halloumi orzo bake with olive salad and Halloumi burger). Our lunch was tasty if a tad expensive for a lunch time meal. However, the local beer was kept in really good order and went down extremely well. The attached gardens are lovely for that al fresco and quiet drink experience, as we returned for refreshment later in the week. A quality venue with good food and well kept beer.

We were staying in Bishop's Castle for our Golden Wedding celebration and had booked lunch at the Castle for a multi generational group of family and old friends. I had booked lunch outside in their stunning garden overlooking the Shropshire Hills but literally half an hour before lunch the heavens opened. The hotel staff were superb, bringing decorations inside and creating a wonderfully arranged table for us in their wood panelled restaurant. The food, which we pre ordered was excellent, beautifully presented and everyone got what they expected. We even had champagne from the local Kerry Vale vineyard. After lunch, the sun came out and we had our coffee and tea out in the garden a perfect end to an excellent lunch. I can't thank the staff too much for making our day.
