The Salwey Arms Reviews

The main course was ok but the puddings were very small,and therefore not good value for money. Service although very friendly was incredibly slow.

Really nice food, great service and a cracking pint of Gold (I think it was from the local Ludlow brewery). I had the seabass off the Sunday menu with dauphinois potatoes, very nice! The seabass was on point. lovely place with alot of space both inside and out!!

Excellent food and very nice staff and surroundings.

Loved it here lovely garden and interior decor brilliant staff very friendly

Lovely food and friendly service.Highly recommend for families

Great for a Sunday lunch but we also celebrated NY Eve here. Really fun place. Lovely service and food.

Loving pub, just stopped for a drink but food looked and smelt amazing

Visited this place on Sunday evening. It was not very busy and the service was fairly quick. The sad part was the food on that day was not as good as we expected. We ordered beef and pork roasts served with gravy and vegetables. The gravy was way too salty. The waitress tried to get us an alternative. In the end, we had a new order without gravy as there wasn't any option for it to be less salty.

Best food in a long time,highly recommended..superb

Always a very good meal. Staff excellent. Nice interior / Character...

Good food. Pleasant ambience and friendly staff.Well worth a visit

Very welcoming & food was very nice, though service could have been quicker. Will go again

Lovely beer garden that gets sun until late and has a good children's play area. I didn't eat.

The staff are really good and the meals as well as the deserts I believe are prepared to the best of their abilities..... top marks for effort

Lovely menu with the exception of excessive amount of sourdough starters (not sure why). Any way all had Garlic Prawns, lovely. Good selection of main course dishes battered fish and gammon excellent. Nice selection of desserts, but Baileys Cheesecake was..... ummmm? Very little Baileys and a strange base, lovely ice cream though. Service as usual excellent.

Lovely place staff are fantastic aswell xx food is fabulous

Great meal, lovely staff and excellent value for money. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Great food and service and the food is excellent. A nice venue to visit in a busy road.

One star is generous!!!
Absolutely dreadful service, rude owner, the food boil in the bag rubbish!
Such a shame it used to be so much better!

Lovely venue, friendly staff, great food and plenty of space for a couple of hundred people. Shame that the selection of drinks for the function bar is much more limited than the main bar, but otherwise no complaints

Lovely country pub but not off the beaten track - on the A49 a few miles out of Ludlow south bound.

Great food. Great ales. Great service.

Very nice surroundings, served by friendly staff.. and good food.

I have been before and had a great time but was very disappointed with the lunch today. I had a ham hock terrine for starter which was nice but the roast beef I had for main was not good at all. The plate was hot when it came out but the food on it was barely warm. Of our party of five, three of us had roast dinners but had only one bowl of veg to share between us with about 3 pieces of carrot, a couple of bits of cauliflower and broccoli and a shed load of beans. We also had a bowl of cauliflower cheese which was the highlight. The other two in the party had the 'homemade' cheeseburger which seemed more likely to be a frozen bought in burger, the medium burger came more like well done. We were then asked by three members of staff if we wanted a desert menu despite refusing each time.

Fantastic range on the menu. Steak was awesome. Service was great. Breakfast was really good. Docked a star because of prices which we a little on the high side.

What a beautiful place! Staff were really friendly Nd food was great

Really good food, good service, a little expensive but good quality.

Went as a couple.
Food was both bland and cold. Very interesting flavours presented beautifully.
Ambiance was Ok with large impressive chandlers and hard wood flooring.
However chairs as much as they matched the room were rather uncomfortable and I left with awful back ache.
Everything was on the menu seemed reasonably priced including drinks for which the had a wide selection to choose from including house wines.
Staff in general were polite but we're in no way seemed enthusiastic.
Overall not the best of evenings in the Salway arms. But will return to give them another shot in the future.

Went to meet family who had stayed there for breakfast. Anything we asked for seemed to be done with a lot of trouble and food arrived very slowly. Staff seemed very friendly but not terribly competent. Breakfast was ok at best.

Very nice place, service was great and the food was excellent.
Me (& my dog) had steak and my partner had gammon (dog also enjoyed her portion!)
Oh yeah, the place is dog friendly.

Had a great meal at The Sawley Arms tonight. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Definitely coming again.

The drinks are nice they have a good choice and the staff are friendly. It has a pleasant atmosphere.

Went for a pint tonight, lovely staff and a very cosy country pub

We called in for an evening meal whilst on holiday in the area. The meal was superb and we thoroughly enjoyed it in pleasant and quiet surroundings until however, we were unfortunately invaded by a very noisy group of which presumably were locals. As we had almost finished our meal we decided that it was time to leave I did mention the reason that we were leaving to a member of Staff and whilst we received an apology, it was not their fault and I did make it clear that we had very much enjoyed the food it was the first day of our holiday but that we shall not be returning as a result

Atmosphere, staff and food are great. Highly recommended.

Lack of menu choices. Small portions. Bland food. Staff didn't make us feel welcome, followed us with a dustpan & brush!

Located beside hotel and Starbucks in wooferton, good access from the road. Not much else around. I went for dinner and the food was delicious, big portions and the staff were lovely. Only thing that could have been better was that it was a bit chilly.

Popped

here last Sunday evening to meet up with friends who were having a meal, decided to eat with them although they had already got their food, which was fine! Food was lovely. Paid tab but then decided to have another drink, to be told they had stopped serving drinks and were about to close. This was 9. O'clock. I understand there was no one else in, but we had eaten and had several rounds of drinks. The barmaid was very polite, We left and went to The Temeside where we had another 2 rounds of drinks with no pressure to leave. We won't be rushing back any time soon.

Stayed at the Salwey Arms for just one night (Saturday) to celebrate my partner's birthday. A very warm lunchtime welcome from the staff was followed by a pleasant afternoon in Ludlow (which is just a relatively short 10 minute car drive away), before we returned to the 'pub with rooms' to enjoy a tasty, well-presented, no-nonsense evening meal (although it's worth reserving a table as the newly-renovated establishment is seemingly very popular with the locals, etc.).
Finally, although the bedroom was a touch on the small side (the room called 'Onny'), the overall decor and presentation of the establishment has been well thought-through and can only be described as 'very tasteful'. Would stay again. Would recommend.

Mixed experience. Very good starter but slow service. Staff are friendly and didn't seem overly busy. Sunday roast beef took 40 mins to arrive and second drink arrived after the meal was finished. Meal barely average...warm, barely cooked broccoli and very crisp veg. Disappointing.

Just excellent. Food is spectacular, cellar kept very well, always enough room to find a quieter spot, excellent staff. Love it.

Brilliant

Good food
Good beer

Comfotable

Easy to find
Easy to park

The mains weren't big enough portions we had the duck breast and the salmon filet. The duck was like having a starter. The deserts were ok on the other hand. I'm going to stick to other local pubs that I know well.

Went for a Sunday dinner - "it's alright, nothing particularly special."

Food was warm ( needed to have been hotter ). Bread was chilled (straight out of fridge?).

Couldn't tell what the starter soup was.

Mains - fish and chips looked good. Sunday roast beef was lacking (potatoes were barely warm, needed another vegetable. Meat tough)

Dessert portions could have been a bit larger.
Service was good and efficient.

Poor baby changing facilities.

Since refurbished it is more open and light, always good food and a nice choice of menu, great as a venue

Popped in for a coffee. Beautiful place. Very friendly and helpful staff. If I'm ever in the area I will certainly visit again.

Welcoming staff good food reasonably priced and we took our dog

Lovely outdoor area to sit and have evening drinks!

Overpriced small portions, bland pasta dish, burnt soggy lasagna, no bread no salad no water nothing. Servers never came back and asked how dinner was or if we needed anything not even a desert menu. How any can anyone invest this much money in a pub hotel and be okay with providing this level of service is beyond me, Chef needs to be sacked. Extra star for the descent beer. Had to stop at a chippy on the way home just to get full.

Called in for breakfast on Bank holiday weekend. The quality of the food was good. Pleasant surroundings nice waitress. Food prices average. X

Great full English breakfast after starting at the Travelodge across the road. Lovely outdoor play area for small children.

Starter's very good staff very pleasant Beef plenty of it and tasty but vegetables tasteless and not very hot gravy thin

Very friendly staff and very affordable food. The proprietors made a real effort and offered some good suggestions for good walks in the Shropshire hills.
A real nice change of pace from the London grind!

Outstanding service and the food was delicious as always.
Had there amazing Xmas turkey lunch yesterday and WOW it was absolutely mouthwatering delicious washed down with a hot mulled wine yummy.
Anyone worried about the distancing, sanitize rules and regulations then i am happy to say that the Salwey Arms exceeded all area's.
Well done the owners, waitresses and kitchen staff for a pleasurable experience here today.

Wonderful meal staff most helpfull a place to visit again

Outstanding meal the service was very good. Would recommend.

Attending a wedding there and the staff, food and premises were to a very high standard. Would defo return.
