The Water Rat Ironbridge

NOT wheelchair accessible. The room we were given had a step up that is 4 inches high. The UPVC door frame has a lip out, a ridge up and a lip in so not possible for any sort of manual or electric wheelchair user to manage independently. Any AB assistants should wear a hernia belt! It was very difficult. The room was at the bottom of a sloped car park. The parking spot allocated for WC users was at the top of the slope, and the parking space itself was sloped. Because the slope between our room and the pub itself was so steep, the WC user didn't go in. I did. If we had wanted to eat a meal there we would have had to sit just outside the main restaurant. Very isolating. Such a shame. The Pub seemed to be nicely decorated. The beer garden looked nice (another place we couldn't get to) The staff seemed very pleasant (but they didn't have a clue what to do when I told them their "wheelchair room" wasn't accessible) And the final indignation. . . The bar shut just as we arrived at 6pm on Sunday.

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!!!!!

Very disappointed with their sunday lunch to much to put on here. We should have complained while there we certainly won't be visiting again in a hurry. Poor starters and main meal veg dried through being under heat to long sweets was no better

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.

Brilliant place. Delicious food too Stayed two nights in our camper an. Far end of car park is flatter. Walk from car park along river to town. Do breakfast too - dogs ok inside. They have a few rooms so open for toilets early and late. Very friendly staff too. Had issue with our water and they kindly let us fill up from their hose. Thank you Water Rat. 10/10

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
