The Golden Ball Inn

What a find. My self & my wife booked the holiday cottage round the corner & the management were good enough to let us use their car park. We visited for lunch which was great & decided to return for an evening meal the next day. Really great traditional pub grub. I had the steak & ale pie & my wife enjoyed a goats cheese pizza. The HPA was kept to perfection. A great find & superb location for Ironbridge & its local attractions. We are looking forward to returning next spring.

A fabulous old traditional pub with delicious pub grub, highly recommend the light bite ham egg & chips for lunch. The newly refurbished b&b rooms are lovely. Real fires in the pub help to make the whole place cosy & welcoming. What a hidden gem of a place.

Stayed in the “self contained” flat 30/04/2023 for a relaxing break. Room was not cleaned to post Covid requirements (used coffee pod in coffee machine, used dental flosser on floor of bathroom). Frequent noise from the pub toilets heard in the flat. WiFi not working, but kept being told it’s fine, and we could use their one in the bar area (not convenient for working and having a relaxing stay). Loud voices in the courtyard directly under the bedroom window before 08:30 on both Sunday and bank holiday Monday mornings (before pub opening times). Trudy was very rude, just kept saying a voice Mail had been left & refusing to accept responsibility for the issues experienced. Will definitely not recommend staying here.

They love dogs in this pub. A happy place with a good mix of locals. I particularly liked the 'old soak' drinking wine at the bar. Good real ale but very poor food. Great to see local partridge on the menu but it was poorly cooked. Smoked haddock gratin was insipid, meagre and decidedly lacking in fish!
