The Last Inn - Shropshire

I visited The Last Inn on June 15th, 2023. The food was top-notch for a local pub. I tried their homemade steak pie and it was absolutely delicious! The prices were reasonable, and despite the slow service (due to 3 staff members being off sick), the staff were apologetic and attentive. I will definitely be returning.

We called ahead to inquire about staying in our T4 camper van in the restaurant's car park. We were told that it was allowed. Upon arrival with our dog, we were greeted warmly and made to feel very welcome. The bar staff was friendly, and we enjoyed a delicious meal at a great price, accompanied by a bottle of wine. Everyone we interacted with was extremely friendly. We will definitely be returning for a meal and overnight stay when in the area.

During Jim Heaton's time, The Last Inn in Hengoed was a traditional village pub known for its excellent beer, delicious food, and inviting atmosphere. While the new owners have made some changes over the years, they have managed to maintain the pub's original charm, with the unfortunate exception of removing the real fire. Recently, the pub underwent renovations, swapping out the cozy wood panels for a brighter sage green and white color scheme. However, this change has altered the atmosphere drastically, making it feel empty and lacking warmth. Service was subpar, with a new and inexperienced waiter who made mistakes with our orders. The food was hit or miss, with some dishes being acceptable while others, like the Sunday roast, were bland and disappointing. The atmosphere has also taken a hit, with the pub now frequented by unsavory characters in tracksuits glued to the Sky Sports TV. Overall, I hope the new management can work on improving the atmosphere, service, and food quality to restore The Last Inn to its former glory. However, until then, I will not be returning.

Food was amazing! Homemade chips!! Something for everyone. I booked beforehand and discussed my pain in the bum dietary restrictions and Jeremy made me salmon, not on the menu at all! The best salmon I’ve ever had. Lovely warm atmosphere. Kids were welcomed. Beer garden looks fab- must come back when it’s not a rainy October night! Thank you
