New review Suree’s Kitchen – Ironbridge

Craving authentic Thai? We couldn’t think of a better choice than Surees Kitchen in Ironbridge. This quaint, warm, and inviting little spot may be small in size, but it hits big on flavour! 🌶️🍜

⭐️5/5
Recommended👍🏻
Price 💸💸/💸

🥢 Starters

Why settle for one when, for just £6 extra per couple, you can feast on everything? The platter was a dream — chunky, crispy prawn toasts, nutty chicken satay skewers, and dipping sauces that took things to the next level. That chilli vinaigrette… wow 🙌

🍛 Mains

• Beef Massaman Curry – a Surees staple, rich, soft, and decadent.
• Cod Fillet & Prawn Coconut Red Curry – perfectly cooked prawns, tender cod, and a sauce with huge depth.

Every dish felt like a masterclass in flavour and balance.

With set prices of £35 for 2 courses or £38 for 3 (if you’ve got room for dessert 🍨), it’s not the cheapest Thai around — but honestly, you’d struggle to find better.

Amazing food, buzzing atmosphere, and 5-star service. Is this the best Thai in Shropshire? For us… it’s hard to beat. 🏆🇹🇭

The Smokey Cow Beckbury – Sunday Roast Review 🍴

🥩 The brisket was the clear winner: tender, subtly smoked, and packed with flavour.

🥦 Veg came firm and well‑seasoned (the thyme‑heavy cabbage stood out), though edging on too hard.

🐖 Pork loin replaced the promised pork belly — a swap that left crackling fans wanting more.

🧀 Cauliflower cheese lacked cheesy richness or oven‑baked crispiness, so it didn’t quite hit the mark.

Stuffing was initially forgotten, but when it arrived, it was a highlight: crispy, sausage‑meat perfection.

Extras like pigs in blankets and cheese bake add fun variety, but small slips — gravy drowning the crackling, missing elements — kept the roast from reaching its full potential.

🌿 Countryside charm, smokey scent, and standout brisket made it enjoyable overall, though not flawless.

👉 worth visiting for the brisket, but expect a few bumps along the way.

Sunday Roast Royalty The Golden Ball Inn 1728

Ironbridge’s oldest pub, The Golden Ball delivers a Sunday lunch that’s hard to beat in the Telford area.

We went all in on the sharing platter - every roast meat imaginable, plus all the trimmings: golden Yorkies, crisp pigs in blankets, and a stuffing - no need to compromise here! The cauliflower cheese deserves its own fan club - rich, velvety, and utterly addictive. And the roasties? Chef Tracey nailed it: crisp outside, fluffy inside, and served piping hot even during peak service.

With Trudy and Leighton at the helm, this is proper pub fare in a setting that oozes warmth - roaring fire, hearty portions, and a welcome that feels like home. If you’re craving comfort and tradition, this is your spot. Make sure you arrive hungry 😉

Baker & Cook: A Culinary Love Letter from the Heart of Shropshire

Oh Sarah Jane Baker and Cook How did we let time slip by before returning to your lunch menu? Nestled in a delightfully quirky corner of Much Wenlock, this gem doesn’t just serve food, it orchestrates edible theatre. And no photo could ever capture the soul of what’s plated here.

Let’s start with the Peruvian chicken: a crisp-skinned marvel, seasoned with a symphony of herbs and spices that danced across the palate. The garlic and lime sauce didn’t just complement - it elevated, adding a citrusy zing that made each bite feel like a celebration. Juicy tomatoes played supporting roles with gusto, bursting with sunshine and sweetness.

Meanwhile, one half of our Shropshire foodie duo, though happily nibbling his cod croquettes - couldn’t help but cast longing glances at the chicken. Food envy? Absolutely. But who could blame him?

The croquettes themselves were no wallflowers: golden parcels perched on top of a rich chorizo ragù, flanked by a verdant pesto and a punchy Kalamata olive tapenade. Salty, vibrant, and unapologetically bold.

Everything here is homemade with the kind of skill that makes you want to hug the chef. And the value? Genuinely good. For the quality of the food, the thoughtful plating, and the lovely atmosphere, it feels like a treat that doesn’t break the bank.

We won’t be leaving it so long next time. In fact, Baker & Cook may just become our regular indulgence. Because never has it been truer: this place serves good food and gives good mood.

The Red Lion Myddle – A Feast of Flavour and Flair

From the very first bite, The Red Lion in Myddle delivers a masterclass in bold, balanced cooking. The Scotch egg arrived with a gloriously oozy yolk, venison meat and paired with a tangy brown sauce that cut through beautifully. The citrus-dressed salad leaves added a zingy lift - fresh, vibrant, and far from an afterthought.

The venison? Sublime. Cooked to perfection, it melted in the mouth, nestled among rich autumnal berries and beetroot that sang with earthy sweetness. Even the kale got a glow-up creamy, and unexpectedly indulgent. Everything on the plate was absolutely delicious.

A last-minute switch from cod to stone bass turned out to be a welcome surprise. The fillet was meaty, flavourful, and finished with a crisp skin that crackled just right. Mussels were soft, tender, and easy to eat - no fuss, just freshness.

There’s also a tempting range of more traditional pub classics on offer. From what we saw no plate leaves the kitchen without intention. Every element felt thoughtful, seasonal, and quietly confident. We’ll be back, forks in hand and appetites ready.
