Our second visit to Jup Jup and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. We took friends who were visiting for who Thai is their favourite cuisine and they were really impressed with the menu and the food. Nice wine list as well.

Church Stretton

About the restaurant

Leonard Wilfred Davies, born 19 December 1906, started a butcher's dynasty now four generations old. His butchers typical cheeky sense of humour now lives on through his grandchildren along with his knowledge of butchery.

In 1997 Leonard’s grandson Richard opened The Station Inn, which quickly generated a great reputation for quality steak. With Richard’s son, Ben’s passion and expertise as Head Chef and Butcher, The Station’s dining experience is a true reflection of the families deep passion for serving amazing steak.

20 years on from opening The Station a major upgrade has taken place, which at its core aims to celebrate the families heritage and knowledge of meat. In order to identify your exact preferences the chefs help you choose the best cut of beef to cook for dinner. It makes for an unforgettable ‘butchery and dining’ experience.

Bridgnorth

About the restaurant

Ye Olde Punchbowl Inn is certainly Ye Olde, even by the standards of British country pubs. The building has been there for at least 700 years – nobody knows exactly how long it has stood on what is now Ludlow Road – and has been a pub since 1740, serving the traveller, the public of Bridgnorth and all others who entered their doors. The menu now is classically British, with a full AGA carvery, a gastro menu and a full wine list that takes in the best of local ingredients. Reserve a table and gather up your whole crew for a meal that has stood the test of time.

Take a trip down Ludlow Road just outside Bridgnorth – south of Telford and east of Wolverhampton – and experience something that applies new methods to classically British cuisine and the famous AGA Carvery. Proud to be the official first innovator of the AGA carvery. – so book a table now.

We all know what makes a good pub - decent drinks, good food and lovely people.

We believe that we've taken all of those things and put them in to The Lord Combermere.

Head Chef Tom and team have created a menu to entice!

Visit us and see for yourselves!

You can expect a warm welcome, wonderful wine and fine food.

The Lord Combermere is my local but I haven’t eaten here for a long time. The food and service were excellent and Laura and Clare were really good at attending to us. I am here on NYE and so will look forward to eating here again. Thank you.
