Old Vicarage - Shropshire

Great food, they use a local butcher with a good reputation, the beef was particularly good, the whole meal and drinks were excellent value for money. The staff are friendly and natural, the surroundings idyllic. Highly recommend.

My partner and I visited The Old Vicarage restaurant today for Sunday lunch. We are due to marry here in February and wanted to try the Sunday lunch menu beforehand as it had been recommended to us by friends. What can I say, the restaurant truly lives up to its claim as ‘Exquisite Cuisine in Beautiful Surroundings’. The quality and value of the food far exceeded our excpectations; 3 courses for £27, absolute bargain. My partner opted for the haddock starter and pork main, and I went for the pate and beef all delicious. For dessert we both had the baileys cheesecake fully recommend this, best cheesecake I’ve ever had. We finished with a coffee. The venue and its surroundings are truly stunning. The orangery is light and airy with uninterrupted views of the rolling countryside. Bliss! But the jewel in the crown at the Old Vicarage is the warmness of its staff. The staff are professional and incredibly friendly. Clearly a great team. Sarah, the hotel owner takes time to chat and always makes you feel as if you are being welcomed home. Fully recommend visiting if in the Shropshire area. We’ve already booked our next Sunday lunch in a few weeks time.

We went to The Old Vicarage for a family Sunday lunch today.The food was really good but unfortunately the occasion was ruined by poor service.We arrived at one o’clock and all ordered the same starter but it took over an hour for these to arrive by which time we were starving-no bread was offered.The main courses(again all the same) and desserts also took an excessively slow time to arrive which spoiled the whole experience.There was no atmosphere as the restaurant only had three other tables.A disappointing experience.

We had a 3 course lunch here today and the food was excellent. It was all prepared and cooked to perfection the chef obviously knows how to balance flavours resulting in a superb lunch. The lunch was only surpassed by the outstanding service that we received from Caitlin thank you!

Although we were the only diners in the delightful restaurant, we were made to feel very welcome and looked after in a professional and friendly manner. The food was delicious and we had a memorable evening.
