Food very average would not want to go again until they get a real chief 
Boring taste not enjoyable no wonder not that busy midweek, we had a Sunday lunch there and it was quite good but weekdays poor quality and boring taste.

Boring Poor food 

I visited the Shakespeare Inn last Saturday for a family celebration. I ordered a duck sizzler which came with a huge quantity of chips so I had to hunt for what was allegedly duck. I found six small pieces of meat which was unrecognisable due to the fact that it was smothered in burnt sauce. I did not find any stir fried vegetables which should have been included. The other meals were acceptable. However, everyone left substantial quantities of food due to the over sized portions of chips. In other words, quantity over quality.
At £16.95 I have never paid so much for a plate of chips. Oh, I nearly forgot the 'duck'? There are other value for money venues in the locality serving good food, so why suffer. My advice is to go elsewhere.

Duck out of this one.

Stopped here for dinner during our stay in Telford. We booked for a Monday evening and the pub was relatively busy. Menu was great and the portions were huge. Food was delicious in this lovely cosy pub. Waitress was friendly and her service really added to the experience.

Lovely cosy pub

The Shakespeare is a beautiful homely pub set in the lovely Ironbridge, Coalport area.
We have visited more times than I can count and every meal has been exceptional.

The Sunday lunches are my favourite of anywhere.
Delicious meats and great selection of vegetables, fabulous service.
The staff are all so lovely.

The menu is extensive and a lovely outside area to have a nice wine and admire the beautiful scenery

Our favourite restaurant

Visited Shakespeare for family birthday meal, what a treat. It was exceptional & we are quite fussy where we eat out. Give it a go!

Starters: king prawn, mushroom, salt & chilli chicken, all were amazing, big portions & absolutely delicious & piping hot. 

Mains: hunter’s chicken, surf & turf, salmon & steak. All presented beautifully & tasted amazing. 
The food was top notch, can’t believe this was our first visit, we will be back. 

Environment very cosy & comfortable. Service was very good. Really good value for money. 

All 5 of us loved the food/quality & we will be back. 
Thank you.

Superb food - loved it

booked in for a quiet meal.
shown to our table and then it seems we were forgotten about for what seemed an age.
totally table service so tried several times to catch waitress eye but to no avail.
eventually service came ordered drinks... and when we asked what cider fruit was available was told bluntly which one and that it.
so rather than wait any further we placed our food order.
it came and it was absolutely lovely. 
nice big portions well cooked and presented.
i would have give 5 stars but the abruptness of the two ladies serving was a little disappointing.
may it was because they were busy i dont know.
i was looking at planning a family booking of 14 for a birthday... but not so sure now.

superb food but

We were staying down the road at Blackbird Cottage and thought we'd go for a drink. The pub is lovely outside and in. The bar tenders were very welcoming and friendly. The pub is dog friendly which we loved (seeing the dogs happy with their owners made us happy) the bar was well stocked and full. They had local telford pork scratchings which we enjoyed. The food looked amazing even though we didn't eat there. Definitely be back soon.

LOVELY COSY PUB

Spent two enjoyable nights at this establishment whilst in the area. Ample free and secure parking. Excellent ensuite room with comfortable bed, good plumbing and nice refreshments tray. Downstairs in the pub excellent choice of wine and beer. Food and service with  friendly staff exceptional. Very good value. I will return and would certainly recommend.

Very good

We enjoyed a beautifully cooked Sunday Lunch at the Shakespeare, portions were generous and well presented, pudding was a delight and the staff were very attentive -we will definitely be returning - I would highly recommend booking ahead.

Lovely Sunday Lunch

For an old building rooms are of course small, but that is what you would expect. The pub does play loud music which is very audible throughout as are the sounds of drinkers - so do not expect to go to bed before closing time.

Food served is okay and passable but I wouldn't rate it higher than that. Parking can be a lottery at busy times as the car park seems to be used by everyone visiting the area not just the Inn, the road is normally very quiet but does seem to attract the odd speeding sports cars and leisure motorcyclists so beware.

Overall though - a charming place to stay to enjoy the location.
