We had a good time, and I would recommend for others to come - the view is amazing and the food was delicious, just wish accompaniments came with the main dish rather tan sold separately - it does make it an expensive meal out with family and not one I would be able to repeat regularly despite wanting to which is a shame - perhaps frequently visitors would be more income without loosing its high end feel!!??
Amazing views, service and food excellent, shall definitely return
The experience made my birthday! Thank you!
Thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Good food, would like to have been told beforehand the rump steak would be served raw when i asked for pink as opposed to week done but that didn’t detract from the meal and tenderness of the steak. Lovely atmosphere with no push for us to leave the table which was fabulous. Will be going back !
Fabulous, 2nd visit love it
We visited one lunchtime and had the set menu. The food was very good, well cooked in the main but not as adventurous as the menu, designed to impress rather than express, made out. We tried a Hencote white wine, but found it rather bland so had an Italian red with the mains, much better. The restaurant area was not cozy or intimate, and reminded us more of an airport departure lounge, and the almost intrusive musak would appeal more to the staff (mostly young) rather than the diners (mostly senior). The service was friendly, but in a formulaic rather than genuine way. We felt our bill was reasonable for what we had and may come again in the evening to try the a la carte. Oh, and the view really is spectacular.
A Wonderful place to enjoy Lunch. Beautiful views, delicious food and excellent service. A new favourite.
Superb food from the set lunch menu. The service is also first class. A very relaxed and enjoyable experience.
Lovely setting with nice views. Friendly, attentive staff. Set lunch was great value for money with interesting choices. Granola with beef rump was a bit of a surprise !
The staff always go above and beyond to make sure we are comfortable and catered for. We have a wonderful time every time we visit and shall be returning soon, I am sure.
Fantastic afternoon. Wine tour was really interesting as well. Food, staff and everything was first class.
A most enjoyable day. The sommelier was superb, very knowledgable and entertaining. The food was very good and the setting fantastic with its views over Shrewsbury. The only slight setback was the wind, but at least it kept off the rain. Many thanks
First class venue with excellent staff and service.
Food, location and wine all lovely. Service was very slow and required prompting for taking of our order (twice).
We had an absolutely fabulous family visit which started with a vineyard tour with Sahara, who was an absolute delight! Everything was fabulous! The setting and the design of the restaurant is just perfect! The view just has to be seen. We realised that we should have ordered vegetable side dishes to go with the set lunch menu, but the absence of these did not deter from an all round fantastic day out. Various members of the family are considering the attractive membership packages. I think it highly likely we will be back.
Four of us had a very lovely relaxed lunch last Friday. We found the atmosphere very conducive to a relaxed, quiet time. The tables were la good size for four, spaces between tables were good and the baffles in the ceiling cut down all the other noise. The food was very good and the service friendly and not rushed. The best bit of course is the view even on a rainy day like us. I would recommend the View to anyone.
We had a lovely afternoon . Tbh I was a bit worried as not heard good reports but I must say service and food was lovely . The place is outstanding . The only thing I would say the food could have been a tad warmer . But apart from that it’s 5 stars from us .
How did I not know about this place before how ? Wow
Our meals were well presented and very tasty. Our only minor criticism would be that our main meal could have been a bit hotter (vegetables were only warm). However, this will not stop us returning soon.
An excellent Wine Tour by Gavin, followed by a great 3 course Sunday lunch. The view is amazing!
Startling value for money compared to my usual London haunts. Excellent fare served by charming staff in a totally relaxed atmosphere. Couldn't be better.
Superb food,substandard service! This establishment is purporting to be a fine dining experience but although you definitely won’t eat the quality of food at a ‘greasy café’ you’ll certainly receive that service!! Unless ‘The Hencote’ drastically improves it’s front of house service, it’ll probably go the same way as ‘Harveys’ and close; ‘The Hencote’ is fast gaining a local reputation for being very expensive with abysmal service. Such a shame for the excellent chefs to be so badly let down!!
The vineyard and winery tour was very Interesting as was the wine tasting. We only had 6 people on our tour so felt very involved. The Sunday lunch was great, 3 courses all of which we thoroughly enjoyed, and accompanied by a fantastic rose. The staff were great, very courteous and helpful.
Really excellent evening. Helpful, informative staff, lovely ambience, amazing view and great food. Second visit in 3 weeks!
we did the Vineyard tour which was hosted by the sommelier which was very informative and the wine tasting afterwards was most enjoyable, followed by a light lunch with excellent service and wonderful views.
