The Shropshire, Haughton

Service slow and snail like despite not being busy, food okay, grumpy owner/waiter who was dressed scruffily!

Been for a Sunday car very very nice and good service.

So; Newfs can swim in any sea to rescue pelope, guard and play with children with no supervision, scare invading armies to death, and... thatch a roof.Settles just which dog is best, doesn't it?Also; love that thatching is still a regular practice in Jolly Ol'. Nothing interesting like that on this side of the pond.

First impression, WOW, How beautiful the restaurant is decorated and furnished to very high standard.

It is a pity the food does not reflect the same high standard.

It is overpriced and poor quality, 2 slivers of liver,( we all know this is CHEAPEST MEAT IN BUTCHERS) 2 Spoons of mash surrounded in gravy,NO vegetables,supposed to be bacon in the mash!!!! £12.95p. left hungry and went to local pub to fill up.

Lasagne, about 2inches square with a couple of rocket leaves and a slice tomato, oh did get 2 garlic bread. £9.95p

Steak and Kidney pudding, with about 6 chips, they were chunky though £12.95p 'Unbelievable'

Last meal consumed by Lasagne eater, had bad stomach since.

Would not go again obviously, and certainly would not recommend, much nicer food to be found in surrounding area of Gnosall and Stafford, WITH VERY REASONABLE PRICES.

My companion & I dined at The Shropshire last night (17/7/12) & had a wonderful time there. A warm welcome awaited us from the friendly & helpful waiter, who was happy to answer all our questions about the variety of menus they have on offer & the evening menu, which we were presented with. The venue was tastefully decorated, clean, light & airy & in a lovely rural setting.

The choice was substantial & although one of the specials was no longer available, this was down to them using fresh, locally sourced produce & not something, therefore, I consider a cause for complaint. We were comfortably seated whilst we ordered, then shown promptly to our table, where the food was also quick to arrive. Little details impressed me, such as the sparkling cutlery & the waiter wearing gloves as he delivered the food.

The wine & 'fizz' list gave good choice & the food could not have been better. Our starter of artisan breads & olives was easily enough for two to share & substantial main course portions, meant we sadly had no room for dessert. The quality of the food was excellent & the meats were tender & fell off the fork. Homemade chips were delicious.

Prices were very reasonable & there was also a children's menu, which my autistic daughter (who has very delicate tastes) would easily be able to select from. We will definitely return here.

Went to celebrate two birthdays. Table was not properly cleaned before we sat down. Choice was the most limited that I have ever seen. Sunday roast was the only option. I had yorkshire pudding which was taste less and over cooked, unlike the potatoes which were under cooked. All the food was very dull. Service poor.

Really nice place menu really good just don't believe it !!! Seabass over cooked parsnip purée like a sauce yuk !!

langoustine just horrible. Roast potatoes under Seabass just not right awful ,

Meal just really awful just don't go there fear factor 4 sure !!!!

Like - having choice in all aspects. Now Stuart and Janet own The Shropshire, they source everything to their own high standards.

Like - The Shropshire options of bar food and restaurant menus. Also opportunities for speciality nights, eg gastronomic, fresh fish/seafood dishes.

Like - The Shropshire Menu range which reflects quality in food sourcing, cooking and presentation. The Shropshire staff, chef and his team consistently deliver to the highest standards. They continuously review their own performance to improve what is offered to their customers.

Like - spaciously laid out tables in the comfortable classy restaurant or in the bar where there is an open log fire. Whichever you choose everything in the Shropshire is immaculate. The Shropshire restaurant set up is flexible and can provide for both parties and intimate meals.

Like - excellent range of real ales and selected wine bins. The Shropshire owner, Stuart, is very particular about the quality of his beers, if there's a problem he'll sort it out, pdq.

Like - the classy decor furnishings and the TLC touches in the Shropshire. These are definately down to Janet's skill and flare for such things.

Like - The Shropshire garden in summer watching the flowers and shrubs growing throughout the year, having a few beers sitting on the benches on the lawn when the sun is getting lower and lower - a settling and rewarding experience.

Me and my family have been eating at the shropshire in on a regular basis for the past 12 months and we absolutly love it! Everything about it makes my every visit extra special. Starting with the food, its just delicious! Fantastic value for money, perfect portions and always a beautiful meal from an exciting menu with a wide range of choices and specials. Next, the service can't be put to fault, the bar and waiting on staff are all brilliant, friendly and hard working! I will contine to use the shropshire and highly recomend it. Its very clear why they're winning awards for such outstanding efforts! Thank you to all of the team! See you soon!
