10/10 for everything! I hired Barrow St Cafe to do catering for my wedding. From the first interaction everything was very smooth. We had delicious quiches, couscous salads and scrumptious scones! The guests absolutely loved everything and went back for seconds. The food was healthy, used local ingredients and was delightfully presented. Emma was the best person for the job. Thank you so much and I would recommend to everyone!

Popped in here after visiting Wenlock Priory, and it was the most delicious decision with a lovely atmosphere! We received the best, most friendly service here out of anywhere we've been on our trip, and they make the best oat chai latte I've had in awhile. Would love to visit if in the area again!

Beautifully friendly cafe with homemade cakes and breakfast and lunch options I work just around the corner , this is my go to stop for the best coffee in Much Wenlock I decided to have lunch today and my gosh I was not disappointed! Smoked salmon and Dill cream cheese on homemade Malt-Rye with pickled cucumber and red onion The balance of sweet and fresh flavours with the rich salty smokiness of the stunning MacNeils smoked salmon just taste like perfection. Thank you Barrow St Cafe

As a cafe should be. Well-roasted coffee in pretty ware; a range of bright and healthy brunch items to cater for many persuasions; sweet treats on display for delectation; and a steady walk of customers inside and out on the garden terrace. Serving staff were friendly and outgoing. I recommend the sandwiches and soups, and the apple frangi cake.

Very friendly service, food came quickly and the salmon and eggs on sourdough are delicious. A good portion of the salmon too, which is always nice.
