"we wanted to visit the midlands and family for the first time since Christmas and in the frame of the visit I decided that we would take my mother for a nice Sunday dinner. she lives in telford and I am not familiar with the contrary so that I am on tripadvisor for ideas. I mean, I was looking for restaurants in Telford and sorted by rating; clays of broseley was the best from the list and that was what I booked. it is about a minute drive from my mother place through a beautiful shropshire landscape. we arrived in broseley a little early and found a parking space right in front of the restaurant. we were invited to take place on the terrace while they opened and had some drinks. I had a fantastic homemade limonade with glittering water, my mother had a Rhabarb juice that was so delicious that we were strolling home with us and my wife had a very nice pot tee. we had booked a table that had been placed in the restaurant for us, but we were offered the table on the terrace for lunch, which we liked to accept as the weather was perfect. we all ordered from the midday card, which for two courses and for three courses was a fantastic bargain. I ordered salmon and hake meatcakes with delicate brokolli, spargas and a white wine sauce and my wife and mother both ordered the beef Sirloin roast dinner. I was so impressed with eating. honestly, this restaurant lives up to all reviews. the ingredients were fresh and tasty and not refined as they get some places. to dessert my mother and I both had the rhubarb and custard' and playful plate that rhubarb compott, gelee, vanilla cream and small mygues combined crazy. the perfect end for every afternoon. during the meal were the employees (I'm sorry to say that I didn't get their names) attentive and friendly. our month old sohn, henry, has a stinking cold and has teethed, so was not on his best behavior, but the staff was fantastic with him. They even went so far that they broke out one of their dogs, a beautiful, huge dog called barney, for henry's entertainment. to cover everything, and this is great for parents of small children, they had a full baby change unit, complete with diapers, wipes and unhappy bags! I can honestly say I've never seen this before. all in all, for three nets, two desserts and drinks, the bill came less than unnecessary to say, I intend to visit again when we are close. I really can't wait."

"Travelled from Spain for a Family birthday , six of us, we booked the private dining room upstairs. Parking is a little difficult on a Sunday afternoon so allow a little extra time We had to wait a little before being shown upstairs but the...room was perfect for us to enjoy family time in an exclusive environment Service was excellent, discrete but perfectly attentive. Food menu was presented informatively and honestly the beef delivered to the kitchen was Below their usual standard so came with a caution) The food was excellent and presented beautifully. A perfect cauliflower soup, smoked mackerel, croquettes were amongst the starter, we all had perfectly cooked pork and all went for a delicious Brad and butter pudding. Great wine menu which we indulged as befitting the occasion Thank you all for making an important occasion perfect Special mention to Deb who ensured that we left happy and replete. Would definitely recommend the restaurant and, if we were back living in the Uk, would be a regular customer"

"A friend of mine was visiting Ironbridge from North Wales, and wanted to meet up to explore the town and a walk along the River Severn. I looked on TripAdvisor for cafes with good vegan options for him and found Eighty Six'd. The cafe is small and intimate; it's like a converted maisonette. The loo is downstairs by the front door, there's a few steps up to the main cafe floor (which has lovely big bay windows , and the kitchen and till are in an adjoining room. Staff were polite and gave us time to peruse the menu and chat. There's art and poetry from local creators on the walls exhibited like a mini museum; it's for sale too for the curators amongst you, but worth having a wander around to just look. Maggie Cameron's bird themed art is beautiful! I didn't have food, just an Earl Grey tea, but my friend ordered a vegan chickpea and sweet potato salad, along with a vegan scone with coconut cream and preserve. Everything was beautifully presented (very colourful! and he was impressed with the quality of the food so next time I find myself in Ironbridge, I'll try something vegan myself! I did sneak a bit of the coconut cream out of curiosity, and it was pretty moreish... Thanks, folks great to drop by, hopefully we can do so again sometime."

"A really disappointing experience. When I arrived all the staff were busy, so I took a seat. I got essentially told off by a waitress for this. My mistake, I thought, so just forgot about it. I arrived at Noon at it took 20 minutes to take my drinks order and I didn’t get order any food until gone 12.45pm. Again though, they had warned that the kitchen was a little behind (they said 10 minutes) and a large group arrived just after me so no big deal. Then, as one of our group went to the toilet a waitress grabbed the empty chair (without asking) to give to another group. We very politely informed them that there was in fact someone sitting there. “You should have put a bag there, then” came the reply. Very unpleasant totally unreasonable. I won’t be returning I certainly wouldn’t recommend it to anyone Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £10–20 Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 4"

"Had a strange experience here this week. On arrival it was very busy which is usually a good sign, the area and Cafe itself look lovely. The wife and I took up seats inside and were looking for prices on the menu for their coffee and cakes but couldn 't find them anywhere. I went and asked and the staff wanted to know what we wanted, I explained that we didn 't know yet but wanted to know prices before we order so we know what we 're paying. Pretty normal cafe or shop procedure I thought! The staff explained they don 't have their coffee prices on their menus but that they 're all about £3.30 and the cakes are all about £3.80 I asked how they operate like that, do they just guess at the time or give different prices to different people? I wouldn 't know if I was spending a fiver or 20 quid! Most odd and we ended up walking out without ordering as it just seemed a bit chaotic and disorganised. I don 't think I 've ever been to a cafe/coffee shop that doesn 't have their prices displayed. Seemed like a nice place though but you just have to guess what you 're spending."
