Although we were unable to hold the event due to Covid – 19 this would have been the third time the Drapers Company had come to Origins due entirely to the fact that on the previous two occasions we had an excellent time , lovely food , great service and a warm welcome from all the staff and students. We hope to return in October if the situation permits .
It was great, loved it. I can be quite a fuzzy eater so being limited to a taster menu encourages me to try so many different dishes that I might not always choose, all of which turned out great, kitchen catered well for a pescatarian as well. Fab service. Thanks and see you again.
As always an excellent meal, the dessert was exceptional,
I didn't know what to expect with Irish night but the food presented was an absolute delight. I liked the choice of pearl barley and whilst stout ice cream with apple and oats didn't sound promising the actual combination was fabulous. Overall an excellent homage to the country
The food was delicious 😋
Amazing value, amazing quality food and service and a privilege to be helping students in there up and coming career.
Excellent service,good food and value for money.
This has got to be one of the best restaurants in the area. Food was excellently prepared and served with unusual themes-full of surprises. Where we can we try to meet friends there once a month as value for money is second to none. Apart from this it is great to see students getting the expertise for their future careers. Well done staff and students alike.
The food was all well cooked and beautifully presented and the youngsters serving were very polite and eager to please. Will definitely come again, a very relaxed lunch in a bright airy restaurant, perfect.
Thank you. A delightful lunch
Excellent. One of the best for a while.
The entire menu was excellent but the stand out items were: Fish cake Little blue coconut cubes (reminded me of the exquisite passionfruit jellies from the Moroccan night) Vegetable curry which was, happily, appropriately very spicy
Wonderful young people working here. They were all really trying their best. Excellent food and service. Definitely one of our favourites in Shrewsbury.
Many thanks. My wife and I really enjoyed our lunch, the guys and girls going the extra mile to make it a memorable experience.
As always I was most impressed with the food and service. The students are always polite and everyone made us feel welcome. I will be booking another meal very soon
We loved the experience and the attentive service. I would recommend to anyone.
Cannot fault this restaurant. It's a training restaurant but you would never have thought it from the standard of food - most definitely recommend.
Very small point but if you are training need to realise that Gin and tonic, tonic should be served separately. Also, Hendricks gin should be served with cucumber not lime. Otherwise fabulous.
Thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Origins for the first time. Lovely food, good service and a nice quiet, relaxed atmosphere. We'll definitely book again
Excellent service. Good very good. Venue ideal for a party of 50. Would certainly use again.
Always brilliant! We love to eat here and recommend it to lots of people. The food is outstanding. Cannot fault anything of the food or service. Many thanks.
It’s a lovely idea to help the trainees. It lacked a little atmosphere. The setting I mean. The way the Big tables were left empty. I think the lady running it was fabulous and the girl that fronted the table and poured the Prosecco has a great future. Other than that. Too many bodies. Makes you feel overwhelmed. Food was nice. But could be improved. Thank you for the experience.
We had a fabulous lunch yesterday. Value for money it's amazing and the students try so hard to be professional. They are a credit to the college.
We had an absolutely delicious meal and were looked after extremely well. The students are a credit to the College. Thank you very much!
The meal was excellent. Food presented to a very high standard, excellent flavours. The students were efficient and worked very well as a team. We were given a very warm welcome.
