Courtyard Cafe — Restaurant in England

Late review as I visited in June as my friend from Kent was staying with me and I had brought her to see the Ironbridge. We were lucky to get the last available table outside. I have Coeliac disease and I ordered a gluten free scone with jam and clotted cream. My friend had a normal fruit scone with jam and cream. I had low expectations to be honest - anyone with Coeliac disease will understand the disappointment of the food coming out and the gluten free offering being half the size of ordinary food, and tasting like cardboard. But my scone looked amazing. Well risen. I took a bite and waited for the let down, but again I was surprised. It was delicious. Fresh and moist and an absolute delight.

A part from this unpleasant experience, location wise absolutely amazing place to have your regular café, meet-up etc, you lucky if you get it on time! I visited this place on my day to visit Ironbridge for the...

We have had a couple of trips to the Courtyard Cafe for lunch in the last year or so. A great ploughmans on offer with generous cheeses, some great teas and coffee on offer, both times we were really pleased to sit, enjoy a comfortable atmosphere and a hearty lunch. Plus, it's pretty decent value for eating out today.

What also really stands out is the service - friendly, welcoming, not pretentious, just spot on. And on one visit a young boy stacked his luxurious looking hot chocolate, followed by a wall of understandable tears. The staff (owner maybe?) made no qualms, a quick tidy up AND replacement hot chocolate arrived within minutes. If that's not a sign of the kind of place you ought go to and support I don't...
