Hundred House Dining In Telford And Wrek

Once upon a time Shropshire had a reputation for fine dining, something that sadly is not the case now; however, we are lucky to have the Hundred House, which has maintained its excellence over many years. I recently enjoyed a delicious Saturday lunch with two friends, the menu is a joy to read as every dish is a temptation for your taste-buds. My tart of smoked haddock was made with proper smoked haddock, not that awful yellow dyed haddock that masquerades as smoked haddock in too many places these days. My friends and I were delighted with every single dish we had, and the Chilean Sauvignon Blanc generated high praise, a quality wine at a sensible price. The bill came as a pleasant surprise, as it was reasonable for the superb meal that we had enjoyed so much. We were delighted to see Henry Phillips, he and his sons are to be congratulated on the success of the Hundred House, a deservedly popular venue with high standards. I will be returning soon.

Had Sunday lunch at Hundred House last 2 Sundays, it’s a charming venue, characterful, comfortable and delicious food, great roast beef, my favourite Sunday lunch haunt currently, very nice and highly recommend

Called in on way back from a day in Bridgnorth. 330pm Sunday. Was busy inside but made a selection of drinks at the bar whilst my wife looked for somewhere to sit. Young man at bar took my order then said sorry I am just going to help a girl with a tray of drinks, and he disappeared. No sign of the lad three minutes later. My wife meanwhile asked a member of staff where we could sit and was told that we couldn’t sit at any of the reserved tables and there might be somewhere in the lobby near the toilets. Not the sort of service you expect from a “top” place asking a fortune for a pint of ale. Why they couldn’t say “use this table but it is reserved from 6pm so you will need to vacate it by 530”, I guess clearing away our empties would be too much. Car park also jammed with badly parked Mercedes and Land Rovers as if they owned the place, which no doubt they do. Rating on service as we never even got to taste a beer.

This was a very enjoyable visit which I think would be a good venue for important events from birthdays to weddings. The food was at the top end of fine dining almost all the dishes have multiple complicated elements. The building is rich in history.

This is supposed to be one of the best in Shropshire,so we decided to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with a family meal (party of 10). We informed them that one of the party had two broken ankles,and was on crutches. We arrived,and because there was a wedding reception on we had to have our meal in the bar. We were shown to the table which was up two worn steps and so made it very difficult for the person on the crutches,who had to have help every time he went to the toilet. There was only one person serving,so instead of table service we had to go to the bar to order our drinks.the food when it arrived was at best below average. All the food was lukewarm,and look like it been standing a while,the vegetation option was inedible and cold,we were not asked if the meal was alright, there was a total lack of service right down to having to ask for our table to be cleared. I know that the excuse will be we had a wedding reception on and we were short staffed, but that is not my problem,you should make sure that you are capable of giving a normal service before taken bookings When we booked this there was no mention that we would be eating in the bar, which turned a special occasion into a below of over priced pub meal
