The Last Inn - Shropshire

I visited The Last Inn on June 15th, 2023. The food was top-notch for a local pub. I tried their homemade steak pie and it was absolutely delicious! The prices were reasonable, and despite the slow service (due to 3 staff members being off sick), the staff were apologetic and attentive. I will definitely be returning.

We called ahead to inquire about staying in our T4 camper van in the restaurant's car park. We were told that it was allowed. Upon arrival with our dog, we were greeted warmly and made to feel very welcome. The bar staff was friendly, and we enjoyed a delicious meal at a great price, accompanied by a bottle of wine. Everyone we interacted with was extremely friendly. We will definitely be returning for a meal and overnight stay when in the area.

We were travelling in our campervan from a trip to Northumberland and needed a place to stop over and have something to eat. We checked online and found a great review and of The Last Inn and decided to check the place out. We asked a member of staff if we could stay in the car park and before we could even offer some sort of recompense for letting us stay, they agreed and welcomed us in the pub. They had stopped serving food as it was 9 o'clock on a Sunday evening, but Karen Jeremy offered and ordered us a curry, then had it delivered, and let us use their plates and cutlery. We then spent the next couple of hours chatting and drinking with the locals, meeting their highly entertaining and very cute dogs (especially Murphy! and after all that, appreciated a very good night's sleep. I can't recommended enough, look forward to our next visit and wish Karen and Jeremy good luck for the future. Stu and EJ x

During Jim Heaton's time, The Last Inn in Hengoed was a traditional village pub known for its excellent beer, delicious food, and inviting atmosphere. While the new owners have made some changes over the years, they have managed to maintain the pub's original charm, with the unfortunate exception of removing the real fire. Recently, the pub underwent renovations, swapping out the cozy wood panels for a brighter sage green and white color scheme. However, this change has altered the atmosphere drastically, making it feel empty and lacking warmth. Service was subpar, with a new and inexperienced waiter who made mistakes with our orders. The food was hit or miss, with some dishes being acceptable while others, like the Sunday roast, were bland and disappointing. The atmosphere has also taken a hit, with the pub now frequented by unsavory characters in tracksuits glued to the Sky Sports TV. Overall, I hope the new management can work on improving the atmosphere, service, and food quality to restore The Last Inn to its former glory. However, until then, I will not be returning.

Food was amazing! Homemade chips!! Something for everyone. I booked beforehand and discussed my pain in the bum dietary restrictions and Jeremy made me salmon, not on the menu at all! The best salmon I’ve ever had. Lovely warm atmosphere. Kids were welcomed. Beer garden looks fab- must come back when it’s not a rainy October night! Thank you
