The Haughmond

Popped into The Haughmond on a whim for Sunday lunch and was so glad I did! The beef roast was tender and melted in the mouth, with seasonal veg cooked to perfection and generous portions. Lovely countryside setting, great value, and Amanda and the team were friendly and attentive. Easily one of the best Sunday roasts I’ve had near Shrewsbury – highly recommend!

We were met with a warm welcome at The Haughmond when visiting for an evening meal. The people serving us were lovely with our young children. We enjoyed drinks in the garden before going inside to enjoy delicious and beautifully cooked food. I had a the cod which was very enjoyable. The children meals were well received, we all especially enjoyed the chunky chips. Welcoming, pleasant surroundings, great food and beautiful location. We look forward to visiting again.

We were at The Haughmond for Sunday Lunch. Superb find as its in a great location, very pretty surroundings and good roads to get there. We enjoyed the Asparagus foam starter and Venison starter followed by the John Dory fish fillets and I had the Sunday Roast Beef. All delicious but especially my Roast Beef dinner, the vegetables were the best I've tasted in a long time and the roast beef was cooked just on rare, which was perfect. We had the (deconstructed) cheesecake for desert, which was beautiful. We shall certainly be back. The only slight issue I had was that the female Cyclists who were using the cafe next door (part of The Haughmond) were clip clopping their way through the restaurant in their lycra to use the toilet. As a cyclist myself and someone who likes to enjoy a meal out on a Sunday, a separate toilet needs to be provided on the cafe side, then it would feel like fine dining.

We needed a night away as we were in the middle of a relocation nightmare. This place looked ideal to get away from the chaos for 24 hours. Our room (the Red Room) was spacious and yet cosy, with a lovely view of the Wrekin. We had a wander around the tiny village (photo) followed by drinks in the bar and dinner. The food was excellent, with great service and a good wine list. Breakfast the following morning was equally good. Highly recommended for a night away from the madding crowd.

Fabulous country hotel with wonderful views. Accommodation was comfortable and quiet and everything worked. The breakfasts were indeed outstanding and the John Dory I had was perfect. My partner’s pie he did say the meat was however was tough and dry. During our 2 night stay the only reason I couldn’t give 5 stars was mainly due to the constant sewage smell up the stairs and the corridors to the accommodation and secondly the mojito cocktail, this drink should not have been served if Ingredients were not in stock such as sparkling water, lime, and mint. I just got tap water and lime cordial for £7.50.

The food is a touch expensive, but it's definitely reflected in the quality of the food. Amanda, Mike and especially Poppy are all incredible hosts at The Haughmond and I cannot recommend booking a room high enough! The views are incredible, it's peaceful and in the countryside, and it's a tranquil area to go for a peaceful walk. Also, it's dog friendly which always gets 5* from me. P.S. - get the cheeseboard.

One of the best meals we have eaten. The menu catered for everyone. The only problem was choosing what to eat as it all sounded delicious. When the food arrived the attention to detail was amazing, but when you ate it surpassed all expectations, everything was delicious The waiting staff were friendly and attentive.

Set menu lunch menu served to six people was superb across starter and mains with excellent desserts extra to set charge. Friendly service, good beer, well worth detour off beaten track and, for cyclists, good access to several cycling routes.
