Very cramped.Seemed to be alot of staff and at one point five members where setting up one table rather than seating customers. Lovely food though.
Have been many times with my family and friends, Highly recommend the cavery on Sunday, Lovely location, Excellant food, Piping hot with so much choice.
We used Ye Olde Punchbowl as a halfway point to meet up with friends last Tuesday night and I looked for pubs in and around Bridgnorth - we couldn't have found a better place to visit! The service was excellent, both friendly and helpful and the food was spot on and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend (and have already!) this pub, and we will be returning!
Always the best carvery ever!! The Punchbowl serves amazing food whatever your choice. Our daughter held her wedding reception here 31.3.18, again they did us proud thank you so much!
Great pub in a great location. Carvery was super with a choice of 4 meats and my daughter was happy you could help yourself to Yorkshire puddings. Only request would have been mash potatoes.
We visit the Punchbowl regularly and have always been pleased with the food and the service. Whilst visiting on Easter Sunday the food was as always, beautiful, however the service was really poor which surprised us. We waited half an hr for a dessert menu, but appreciated that they were very busy so we were patient and asked again. Shortly after this Gareth quite abruptly told us we only had 10 minutes left on the table. We left shortly after, a few of us waited outside whilst whilst the bill was settled, a few people were coming and going and someone had left the door open , Gareth then came to the door and slammed it shut in anger without saying anything. Usually we are always happy with our visits here however the service has now put us off.
Lovely hot food. Portions of meat not as good today. Pleasant calm atmosphere. Pity the queue at the bar was so long because a barrel needed changing. No non-alcoholic beer available but ginger beer was excellent. Thank you.
As always the food and service was excellent . The staff are very poilte and extremely helpful. Overall can’t fault the place and we eat here regularly on a sunday.
Great food and hospitality !!! Great as always!!! We visit here a few times a year and never seem to be disappointed !!! !!! !!!
Lovely setting and atmospehere, fantastic food with a good selection on the carvery and helpful, friendly staff. Lovely way to spend Easter Sunday as a family.
This is the best car very we have ever had. The beef was very tasty and the selection of vegetables was superb. First visit but not the last.
First time visit and very impressed. The carvery was enjoyed by all, reasonably priced and of a high quality. A lovely location for our family celebration meal.
Food was delicious and what a stunning location with a lovely back setting with a small back area which is purely beautiful. Highly reccomend and will be returning customers!
Lovely surroundings. Excellent carvery with huge choice of veg and everything piping hot as it should be. Can see why it was so busy and you needed to book to make sure of a table.
Lovely meal, but slow service which does not accord with previous experiences. Staff were polite & knowledgeable but service was slow when the restaurant was not massively busy.
Lovely meal great value for money, lovely surrounding. Highly recommend
Fantastic food, will defiantly come here again. Well done .
First time here and wasn’t disappointed, really lovely food - great Carvery! Great value and service. Shame about the 2 hr table limit.... will definitely be returning and recommending.
Food was lovely waitress staff not so good forgot coffee had to ask twice was told we didn’t have to get ticket for carvery after queuing for 15 minuets to find we did need on from the bar
Excellent as always. Food hot and well cooked. Good selection of vegetables and meat. Food always appears to be fresh and not left hanging around like some carveries. Great value for money.
Welcoming staff showed us to our table. Staff at bar friendly and a jug of water sent to table before we had made it back from ordering drinks. Carvery looked good, plenty of choice in both meat and vegetables. Food was delicious. Staff friendly throughout all of the visit.
We were greeted by a warm welcome. The atmosphere was very nice - just the right balance of quaint and traditional, but with all the amenities. The carvery was excellent.
Good food, good service, good seating and value for money.
Absolutely excellent food and service. Very good value for money the best carvery I have ever eaten at. Could not fault it will definitely be going again.
A quaint well established country pub that spans back centurys,the punch bowl oozes comfort and tradition with well mannered friendly informative staff...,it has good quality affordable food with a heartily prepared carvery to 'die for' thats cooked on a traditional agar oven viewable in the lounge/bar area..good wines are available as are traditional well poured beers,ales n ciders..the punch bowl appears to be a much loved historical pub,full of tradition, nostalgia and friendliness thats well worth a visit for whatever takes your fancy.
Good service and lovely atmosphere. building is lovely too the food is average to good. Poor stuffing & Yorkshire puddings. Meat was ok but nothing special for an “Aga carvery”
Lovely carvery. Good value for money and helpful staff. The meat was cooked to perfection and there was plenty of choice of vegetables and potatoes etc.
Enjoyable meal taken at lunch-time - staff friendly; food near end of serving, but still good to eat. and plenty of it. Nice warm and comfortable atmosphere with snow falling outside.
Looked forward to going to this place as we have heard such good reviews. The fact there were not many cars on the carpark on a saturday lunch seemed strange, but it turned out after we had our meal, we learned the owner was away and the chef that was on was dissappointing. We were left waiting 10 mins at the carvery before the chef came out of the kitchen, and the Roast beef, which we were looking forward to having, was small and looked dry. So we had Turkey, which was one slice and Ham which we were given plenty. The vegs needed to be topped up as there were not many of some and no Yorkshires, which came out half way through our meal. What we had was nice, it was just a shame the beef was not, for us to have tried it.
Very quiet lunch with my elderly Mother at the Punch Bowl / never been before presumably a quiet day due to the weather though and it was Wednesday lunch time. We had chicken gojons ( probably spelt incorrectly ) with salad to start followed by the carvery which was hot and delicious. Coffee to finish - drinks with our meal. Pleasant staff provided efficient service. Total bill 37 pounds which I thought was excellent - thank you Punch Bowl Inn we will come again!!!
Great friendly staff and helpful chef as my wife has allergies but it makes a change she could have everything offered even the yorkshire puds , The food was first class we will be returning soon.
We all had an amazing carvery, great choice of vegetables and four choices of meat. Staff were all friendly and helpful, definitely going to return as soon as possible
Excellent, my wife's diatry requirements were met with ease and all was as it should be. Very impressed as usual with service and staff. Quality of food is first rate.
Excellent food. my wife is a coeliac sufferer and comes here regularly, they will point out what you can eat from the carvery and make gluten free gravy for you. Thank you

Good service and lovely food. The atmosphere and setting was lovely for a meal whether it be with family or friends. The staff are friendly.
Good quality food, speed of service was excellent, staff were friendly and polite and would make every effort to answer any questions you may have
Went on a Thurdsay lunchtime and had excellent food in a great location. Carvery is the best I have had. Plently of choice. I would recommend to all.
Our meal was booked for the 4pm Sunday sitting and the restaurant was fully booked. There was plenty of food on offer, especially as there was a lot of people in front of us in the queue. Staff were re-filling the great selection of vegetables as the dishes were emptied and all the meats on offer were very tender. Staff were very friendly and helpful even though the restaurant was busy. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic carvery. We will be returning. Great service and wonderful food. We were booked in before Christmas but due the deep snow the Restaurant had to close.
Excellent food at a price which is unbeatable. The carvery is second to none and the puddings are to die for. Friendly staff too :-)
