The Water Rat Ironbridge

Amazing Sunday lunch yesterday. Cooked to perfection and excellent portions!!! The whole team is fantastic. Stayed in our motor home. Also had a full English breakfast on the Saturday. Cereals , orange juice, tea, yogurt and toast, all for £15 a head. Will definitely return!!!!!

Stayed for one night. Ground floor room on back was spacious with view of gardens and seating area. Good parking. Room was very clean. Bathroom big but bit unkempt in places, bad tiling and grout but clean. Shame they stopped serving food at 4pm, weren't told this on booking so forced to go elsewhere. Stayed here as thought would be quiet. Sadly not due to other inconsiderate guests who cane back after midnight with no thought for downstairs guests. Believe the male was Matt as his partner repeatedly shouted his name in the corridor. They were noisey in room above till gone 0100. No surprise they were last down for bfast. The best part was the bfast. The website had said continental so we loved finding out it was full English which was lovely. Good quality produce and lovely lady serving. Good end to the stay.

We were guided to the Water Rat by a friend who said the location, food and staff were spot on and to top it off you can overnight in your camper van. So we thought we would give it a go. So our opinion, well location is fantastic directly on the banks of the Severn and a river path straight into Ironbridge, perfect. Food cannot complain about the food it was home made and delicious. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and even though we were last ones to leave they did not rush us which was so kind of them. Peaceful nights sleep in the camper and great to hear the owls. We were offered breakfast for £15 a head which sounded good value for what was being offered though we were still full from the evening meal so did not take up the offer. All in all brilliant and we will be back.

Visited on 5th March having seen an advert in the local freebie magazine (WhatsOn). We are regular visitors to Ironbridge but this is the first time we've tried The Water Rat, probably on account of it being a short walk from the town centre (about 10 minutes) so not obvious to the casual visitor. Well worth the walk! Lovely staff who will engage in conversation whilst taking your order etc. Great value, good quality food and plenty of it. Will definately return.

The building resembles a swish cottage with pretty fairy lights outside, it used to be called the Meadow years ago. the tables are all candle lit which gives the place a lovely cosy feel. I tied a pizza which was really tasty. the staff are all very friendly. service was prompt. the premises tidy and spotless. We will most definitley come again

Service excellent, food outstanding great value for money. We went to the water rat for a Sunday dinner it was absolutely gorgeous the plate of food was huge definitely worth the money. I would definitely recommend booking a table for Sundays
