Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We went here for an evening meal. The service by the staff was most welcoming and professional. We chose a three course meal which filled us both up .For the main meal, we chose a sirloin steak cooked medium rare, which when it arrived was cooked to perfection our compliments go to the chef.
We would definitely recommend this restaurant for a really nice evening for friends or family..

There is plenty of choice on the menu, with everything cooked to absolute perfection, our thanks to the Chef who is obviously very talented!
The staff are attentive and engaging, Thank you to Chris and the rest of the team for a memorable Dinner.

In a tourist pocket, you're lucky if you can find a place that has truly good food. The cuisine at Chez Maw, was outstanding! Not really British. Perhaps New Brit. Exceptional presentation and well prepared meals.
For starters, we had the arancini. The aioli under it was a bit overdone, but the arancini themselves were delicious. We had the chicken wrapped in pancetta, the sea bass, and a wonderful stewed lamb served with a mint yogurt, and a cold couscous medley.
The afters menu featured a few nice treats, including a peach creme brûlée and a sticky toffee pudding.
They have a good bar, like most in England, not big on craft cocktails,but serviceable enough on everything else.
Service was first rate. You can book it on OpenTable.
Parking is the hotel's lot.

We ate dinner here two evenings whist staying at The Valley hotel. The menu had a good selection, food was delicious, nicely presented with good size portions. Service by the friendly team was very good. The restaurant looks newly decorated and is attractively furnished and comfortable. In addition the ladies toilets are very striking, certainly worth a mention!
Both the Continental and cooked buffet breakfasts were well prepared and replenished promptly. Again serving staff were very friendly and helpful.

We visited the Chez Maw Restaurant to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary, having booked a Table beforehand.
Upon arrival we were welcomed by friendly staff and after a pre-dinner drink we were shown to our table.
We selected a Starter, Main Course and Dessert from the Menu, which was not extensive. At the same time we ordered a glass of wine to complement the food.
The Food was well prepared and attractively placed on heated plates, served by attentive and helpful staff. All courses were delicious.
All in all the Dining Experience at the Chez Maw Restaurant was one of the best we have experienced for some time.
We most definitely would recommend the restaurant to family members and/or friends and we have no hesitation in coming back in the future.

The food was delicicious.
Everything else was disastrous.
Greeted? Well, sort of.
Welcomed? Absolutely not.
The service was worse than poor. At each stage we had to remind staff of requests, four times for the bill! However, the chef provided the lovely food at a good, comfortable pace.
Usually there are two young men, twins who weren’t on shift that evening. What a shame as they are superb in their welcome, engaging and pleasant. Other staff need a shake.
This restaurant has been special to our family for a long time. My daughter’s Wedding reception was held in the restaurant and we have been regulars for over 25 years, so I think we can make a fair judgment.
Despite the pandemic, there were provisions made for safe eating but to eat at tables that resembled those of an old transport cafe, in a dreary atmosphere with appalling choices of music, namely divas yelling, was not conducive to a calm, relaxing first time out after Covid shutdown. There was not a pleasant atmosphere although it wasn’t busy that evening, but staff seemed to have little training.
Chez Maw has changed hands.....please come back Lesley Casson and Hubby.
Disappointing. Add to all this that the bill took ages to come because it was handwritten’(although I fail to understand why that should make it a 20 minute wait, I don’t know. When it came they had overcharged us by £15.50 for two items we hadn’t ordered. We were offered a fleeting apology. ☹️

booked a table for 8pm we waited for quite a while for service. We only ordered a starter of melon, which in fairness was very nicely presented. My friend ordered a creme brulee and a latte. But again very slow service despite the restaurant being half empty. have never been to a restaurant and not left a tip but this is what we did here.

Lovely restaurant but a bit lacking in atmosphere. Menus very good but need a change of choices after several days stay or introduction of specials. As good as other local restaurants. Service excellent

We booked at the Valley Hotel for a couple of days with friends on a very acceptable deal that included Dinner. The bedroom was OK , small (very)but sufficientI perhaps what you might expect for a cheap 'deal'
I rather expected a limitation on what might be on the menu and a reasonably good Hotel Restaurant. Firstly thewhole a la carte menu was available, Secondly, the menu looked very attractive and varied.
Thirdly, and best of all the food was excellent far better that many much higher starred hotel Restaurants I have visited. There were 4 of us and each of us declared their choice of menu over 2 days to be of a very high standard. The service was equally as good , friendly and helpful without being overbearing. The breakfast was excellent and cooked to order.
Between us we had a variety of options that included sea bass, risotto, a lovely pulled lamb dish, steak, a trio of pork and a particularly well considered duck dish as mains.
My Ham hock starter was also very tasty
It was my first visitto the Valley Hotel and it will not be my last. Ironbridge is wonderful with much to visit (we could have done a day in the Victorian village ) and the welcome and in particular the Dinner and Breakfast made for a lovely few days.

We were looking for somewhere a little bit special for an all-too-rare meal out, and we were not disappointed. The food was outstanding (try the mackerel pate and the chicken with pancetta), the service was prompt and friendly, and the price was very reasonable. My only gripe is that one or two more veggie options would have been nice.

We were staying in the hotel so decided to have dinner in Chez Maw and had a thoroughly enjoyable time, even allowing for the inevitable covid precautions, which were well-managed.
It seemed to be popular, and I am not surprised. There was a good menu and wine list at a reasonable price and the food was well-presented and delicious. The staff were welcoming and determined to ensure that everyone had an enjoyable evening.
Enjoyable, and excellent value for money. I look forward to returning in the future when the world return to normal.

Excellent wine choice and a decent menu.
The three courses we had were exceptional.
My beef croquettes to start unusual but lovely.
Pulled lamb for main again so moist and succulent could have eaten it twice.
Chocolate tart with hazelnut ice cream a nice way to finnish.
My only small criticism is it lacks a good atmosphere but apart from that it's a big 5 from the oakly56.

We have been to the Valley Hotel for many Christmas Day meals and want to say once again how fabulous it was. The food and service were top class and it has such a lovely feel and makes Christmas Day very special for us all. Special mention to Lee who always looks after us brilliantly and the staff are always very accomodating with food changes which we very much appreciate.
Thank you for another brilliant Christmas day...we enjoy it that much we have booked again for 2020.

As we were staying at the BW Valley View Hotel on site, decided to eat at this well recommended award winning restaurant. We were not disappointed had some lovely meals including a succulent steak with a unique peppercorn sauce. The staff & food were excellent and will return to both Hotel & restaurant

We stayed in the Valley Hotel and ate in their Chez Maw Restaurant on the first night.
The meal was very good with plenty of choice on the menu. The service was polite and efficient, and the quality of the food was very good.
Sadly, due to Covid measures the amount of seating in the restaurant was reduced and the restaurant was fully booked during the rest of our stay, which was a shame as we would have loved to have eaten there again!
