The Woodman

Village farms, butcher and baker supply much of the produce used in the well-respected dishes here at this sibling-run, three-storey Victorian inn. Outside a picturesque settlement deep in the east Shropshire countryside, the beer, too, comes from just down the lane in Enville, whilst the notable wine list spreads its wings worldwide to source some bins unique in England to The Woodman. The contemporary interior is a comfy mix of village local and bistro, where breast of Shropshire pheasant with chestnuts and smoked bacon, sautéed scallops, or the very popular honeycomb ice cream show the quality of the fare here. Alfresco dining is a popular summer option, indulging in grand rural views to the ridge of Abbot's Castle Hill.
