Excellent accomodation and welcoming, polite and helpful staff. Facilities in Wet Room excellent for any people with mobility issues. Bar and Restaurant ambience very lively and well patronised. A monumental Breakfast to set you up for the day. Would like to think that we'll pass this way again.

Lovely Carvery but the management are rude, very busy pub but the owner needs to sort out the staff if they want my custom again.

My friend and I visited the Down Inn,after a recommendation from a friend, on a Thursday lunchtime we were made to feel very welcome by all the staff we saw.We were very impressed by the Views we had from our table.
The Carvery is probably the best we have had,the meat was cooked perfectly and we were given plenty.The range of Vegatables was excellent, 8 in total I think, and they were all cooked perfectly.
All in all I couldn't think of a better place in the area to go for Lunch.
We can't recommend the place highly enough!!!

I came with my family on Sunday 10th January 2010 and first impressions were a lot to be desired and the car park was terrible. On entering the premises and inside does compensate for the exterior looks & car park, looks like the owners have ran out of money or something?
We were went to the bar to be greeted by a rude man it surprised me how busy it was but we were recommended and were going to give it a try we were shown to our table and went to the carvery around the back of the bar. The carvery was ok but room for improvement.
Overall I was disappointed and I did express my views to a waitress but no manager came.
Please don’t think I am look for compensation as a general patron the whole experience and attitude of the management lets the venue down.
I have decided to leave my email blank as I not looking for an apology as I didn’t get one on the day, I wont be returning nor will I be recommending this venue to any friends, I do recommend the management dine at Punchbowl the next pub down as they know what customer service is about and care for their clientele its a great pity they don’t open on Sunday evenings as a lot of your custom I believe would think twice.

I had a very warm welcome from the Deputy Manager and, as a lady on her own, did not feel out of place or awkward. The room was superb; clean, warm and comfortable. The cravery was execellent and the local people very sociable. I would certainly recommend anyone to stay here in such a beautiful part of the country.

We stayed in the excellent accommodation at the Down Inn and can thoroughly recommend it. The food and service were first class and will definatley return if we are looking to stay in the area again. We used this as a base for a canoeing trip on the River Severn,and enjoyed the lovely views of the Shropshire countryside from our room.

This is my 4th visit to this fantastic eatery and it just never disappoints. Today I took twelve family members for our annual Boxing Day meal and it was superb. What a choice of meats and veg,and all piping hot too,and the sweets are a treat you have to make room for.
The service is second to none,staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Believe me you will not want to miss out on this wonderful family orientated inn.
Well done Steve and all your staff .
Happy New Year and long may you prosper.

it must be the best most consistant eat as much as you like carvery ever. The meats and choice of veg is good with real roasted potatoes with crispy edges abd fluffy inside and home made yorkies not to mention the range of gravies. So many so called carverys only give you a set ammount, not so at the Down, congratulations to Steve his wife and their staff for several excellent meals long may it last

The meal was extremely good, the carvery was excellently cooked and with a good variety of vegetables. My only gripe was the greeting by the bar staff,well one in particular, sullen and unwelcoming and as we bid our farewells was returned with a grunt. If it was not for the customers, the owner would not have anyone to cook for, maybe a smile and a warm greeting and an amenable farewell wave, as people leave, (as he is counting the pound notes we have put behind the bar), would go down well with all, and a return visit could be on the cards.

This must be the best carvery in Shropshire. We went to a Christmas dance and carvery at the Down and the night was a roaring succes. Well done to the owner, his wife and their staff,
ps. What a pleasure to find a genuine family run pub/restaurant these days!
