Reviews Wild Shropshire Restaurant

Absolutely amazing experience! Never had a tasting menu where we've enjoyed every single course until coming here. James seems to really care about the customer experience and is obviously very passionate about the food that he cooks - understandably so! Jo was also amazing and really helped to make our evening worth remembering with some great wine recommendations. Can't wait to come back and would recommend to anyone!

Relaxed dining with very exceptional food. James Sherwin has built a tasting menu with an abundance of local ingredients which is lovely to experience.
James is super friendly and passionate about food and you can get a real taste of that in the Wild Shropshire. Set in a building that looks like it could have been an office or shop building previously with a relatively small looking kitchen it does not look to be a place to experience the level of food it delivers. Should easily be deserving more praise from places like the Michelin guide. Haute cuisine without the faff. No overbearing wait staff at something like Restaurant Gordon Ramsay or dress codes like The Ritz. Feels homely and British, but with a level of finesse much higher than a gastropub. It is definitely worth a stop (if you’re able to get a table!) Food was ever so slightly heavy with the oniony flavours, but it was brilliant nonetheless.
My only concern on sustainability is the price. I think this place might be too cheap! I hope they are able to stay profitable with the pricing as in 2023 the UK’s top restaurants are well past £100 a head (plus drinks and service, eg >£10 a course). Wild Shropshire charges £45 a head for a 7/8 course lunch and only about £20 more for dinner. Their drinks are very moderately priced as well as being super tasty. Will love to go back and gladly pay more for the privilege again. As a side note make sure you figure out where to park before heading up if you are driving. There is a public car park before the restaurant and if you miss it you have to go in a bit of a circle on a one way route to get back.

A great restaurant and had the pleasure of meeting James. No menu, and it was a guessing game to work what you had, very different. At the end of the meal we were given the menu. I won't spoil what we had but photos show the quality. Next time we're in Shropshire we will definitely be back

Wasn't sure what to expect, as from my experience of taster menus this is very reasonably priced. I was pleasantly surprised ! There's no menu or clue as to what you are about the eat, which I really enjoy. The flavours and textures were interesting and enjoyable. The wine list was good and the Sommelier knowledgeable. Service was efficient but not too formal. We will be returning !

What a fabulous find! Wild Shropshire is a unique and very enjoyable experience. From the moment you enter the restaurant, James and his colleagues make you feel welcome. Their attention to detail is superb. My husband and I had the Taster menu with accompanying wines, each of which was explained and, I must say, went very well with the dishes. We had a great time trying to guess our menu, the food being exceptional, and was finally explained to us by James at the end of the evening. I fully recommend Wild Shropshire as a wonderful experience.
