It was very pleasant to have stop-by lunch - Nice outside seating, delicious food, very polite and attentive waiter and free parking space. The fish and chip was surprisingly delicious, that the batter was thin and crispy with crunchy chips and mushy peas. The chicken sandwiches was amazing too. The blueberry tart with custard was very special and tasty.

We stopped by the Bull & Dod whilst travelling on a day trip. We had a meal in the pub and it was very good indeed. We all had the Steak Pie, Chunky Chips with garden pea's, (small option) and it was still a very good size and very enjoyable, we also had the Onion Rings which were amazing Dog friendly pub with a good atmosphere and food.

Moderately busy as we arrived around 2pm without booking. Greeted with warm service from waiters and the barman. Very formative and were given menus as we were seated. Ordered at bar and kids enjoyed nice play area while waiting for food. We came for the Sunday roasts so we ordered beef roast, two pork loin roasts and two children's meals. The beef roast I had was beautifully presented and tasted great. The others enjoyed their meals too. Vegetables came separate for the three dishes of roasts ordered so it gave it a homely feel dishing it out. We ordered two desserts. The crumble and the choc brownie. I had the brownie and thought this was delicious. Usually brownies can get too sweet and too stodgy but this was just right. My cousin enjoyed his rhubarb crumble. Tasty and finished off beautifully with cream. Overall recommend the food and staff were informative and happy. I would definitely go again especially for the brownie!!! 😊😊😊👍

Fantastic , spur of the moment visit. They were fully booked but still took the time to see if they could fit us in (thank you chef). Great atmosphere, great location FANTASTIC FOOD. Best steak and ale pie I've had in a long time. Full of large chunks of quality beef, great gravy (plus extra on the side). I asked for the large pie, should of asked for the medium, it was huge (see photo). Staff lovely, great value for money...thanks all

Context of this review: Sunday, mid December 2023. The pub was very busy with several large groups already in situ. We had booked a table the day before but when we arrived there was no reservation for us. We ordered at the bar promptly but had to wait 45 minutes for our meals (roast beef) to arrive. When it did arrive the meal was barely warm. There was no communication as to why there was a delay but we assume that they were short of staff in the kitchen or just overwhelmed by the number of people having meals in the pub. The support staff were courteous and even got a bowl of water for our dog. As this was a recommendation our expectations were quite high but ultimately were not met on this visit. I suspect that on a different day the visit would have attracted a five star review.

We had lunch here after visiting Hawkstone Hall for a Wedding Fayre. We phoned ahead and booked a table, which we were apparently lucky to get, it seems this place is very popular! I met a beautiful dog called Bruce, which made my entire visit worthwhile. ♥️ The food was good, it was a bit slow coming out, but they were quite busy. I had the fish and chips, it was okay. My friends had the roast dinner, one of which was the nut roast. She wasn't too keen on this and asked to swap her meal. The staff were absolutely incredible, they got her new meal out in excellent time, and they didn't even charge her for her meal and gave her a free drink! None of which was expected. The staff here are amazing, very attentive and sweet. We're back down this way for my friends wedding next year so we'll have to come back. I hope Bruce will be there again!

Just had Sunday lunch what a treat food service everything was delicious. Will definitely be returning

We visited here on our last day of a holiday to Shropshire and enjoyed a very nice meal. The food was delicious and everyone really appreciated the amazing tasting dishes we had. The pub is extremely comfortable and welcoming with some great seating areas inside plus a very spacious beer garden and children's play area. As we had our dog with us it was nice to find a dog friendly place to eat. The only minor issue we had whilst visiting was that one item ordered never arrived and even after asking a second time once everyone had their food it still didn't come, although they did remove it from our bill. Would definitely be happy to visit again when back in the area.
