The Swan is a well maintained traditional type pub that has a reputation for good food…read more I've been in there many times and have always been impressed with the quality of food coming out of the kitchen. Recently i've been finally able to eat there and although acceptable it wasn't really that stunning. The price is slightly higher than normal - at around £10 per main course. I ordered mushrooms to start which were very well done, and then for my main course i had vegetarian lasagne with a side order of chips. The lasagne was microwaved with some fresh cheese melted on top to hide the crunchy bits, and the ingredients really didn't justify cost of the item. The chips were not that crisp, and were a little soggy and stuck together. The service was friendly enough, and when asked about the meal when i paid i did say that the lasagne wasn't stunning and the person did look a little guilty. I wouldn't not go there again, but i'd certainly investigate some of the other offerings ironbridge has to make.

We just happened upon it looking for a place for lunch in Ironbridge. Staff was very nice, good beer selection. I got the Black Pudding & Chorizo Beef Burger and my wife got the rump steak. Her steak was excellent: cooked perfectly with a delicious black pepper sauce. The burger I had was one of the best I've ever had. I would have never thought of putting black pudding in a burger, but it really does work! I've never stayed the night here, so I can't speak to that, but everything about lunch was wonderful!

The staff were great, and although there are a couple of stepped areas and high chairs that I wouldn't want my ankles to argue with in a merry state, it's a good joint. Whilst drinking brambles and other gin based lovelies, the pizzas wafting past us caught our eyes and looked pretty good- As well as this, there's a reasonable sized menu with your decnt looking pub standards. Friendly owner to boot too, seriously varied clientele so you won't feel out of place and I totally intend on going back for the quiz sometime.

We freuquently use this place for work outings because we can all afford to eat out and have a great night at the same time. I hear that it is closed for refurbishment in early 2009 but will be well worth a look when it re-opens. Food here has always been tasty, the do two menus, one of bar food etc and a more expensive one in the restaurant. Chillis, curries, lasagnes etc all taste home cooked rather than microwaved. Some nights live music or comedy makes for a lively, noisy crowd atmosphere.

Russian Roulette in Telford…read more This is a very nicely decorated bar/restaurant with a traditional part, and a very contemporary new part. Good selection of beers and drinks, and the crockery and cutlery is Villeroy & Boch. Service has been excellent to poor, and that unfortunately runs to the food as well. I've had two really good meals there, and two really poor ones. When it is good you get well cooked, well presented meals with decent ingredients, when it is bad then you get poorly presented, over/under cooked food that you could have done better at home. Unfortunately due to the variability i can't really recommend it a the prices that they charge. This is a shame and i hope that someone will let me know if things improve there.
