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.

Fantastic Sunday lunch a few days ago with our family. The food was superb and the service just right. It was our first time back since new ownership and they appear to be doing a terrific job. Well recommended.

We stayed near Much Wenlock for 3 nights in September. We are a family of sisters brother and our spouses. We ate at the Raven hotel for 2 of the 3 nights first of all in the lounge bar and then in the restaurant. What...a fabulous experience , both nights were different but the food was excellent. The first night was essentially good pub food Burger, sea bass battered hake and pork stroganoff. All great. The next night was as fine dining as you could find in big cities. An amuse Bouche with caviar and cod, starters ranging from delightful chicken liver pâté with a chicken skin water,scallops, trout and beetroot . The mains ranged from corn fed chicken to sea bass and a fillet steak( like butter my brother said,) and Prawn risotto, so many delicious prawns. The food was excellent, fabulous service and atmosphere. Very well priced for fine dining like this. We so wished we didn’t live so far awayMore

We are regular visitors to this outstanding hotel, for lunch, dinner and overnight stays. A beautiful old building full of character. 2 menus, the fine dining and the informal lounge. Both change with the seasons and both give excellent choices. Vegans and vegetarians have good...choices and the fresh fish - 8, 9, 10 different types - is a real pleasure. Excellent choice of wine, sommelier Nuno very experienced, i have his wine pairings a number of times a real treat. The taster experience is exceptional. Staff are lovely, knowledgeable friendly and always professional. We have stayed overnight in a number of the hotel rooms, all spacious with big comfortable beds, Egyptian cotton bedding and soft fluffy towels with a powerful shower. Breakfast also super,particularly enjoy chefs own granola. A wonderful hotel which we visit regularly and is always a real pleasureMore

Stayed a night for a school reunion. It was absolutely wonderful. Polite, friendly but also relaxed. Felt very well looked after. Breakfast was delicious. I normally dread eating bfast in a dining area but for the first time ever I loved it because the atmosphere...was stress free and relaxed. Nothing was too much trouble for the lovely staff. The room was gorgeous and the bed was very comfortable. It was a genuine treat to stay at the Raven. Thanks to all those involved for an exceptionally lovely stay.More

The Raven Hotel was an excellent find for a family visit to the area. We booked 2 rooms and were very happy with the friendly greeting and assistance we had from Chloe. It continued when she made contact to check on which of us had...a Garlic intolerance. When i explained my situation she recommended that we spoke to Chef Lee. How fantastic was he, so very helpful and knowledgable about all the food he was cooking from fresh that could be adjusted for me. When the meal arrived it did not dissapoint. The whole ambience in the restaurant from the superb food and friendly, efficent staff and for breakfast next morning was superb. It made for a very enjoyable evening and complete visit. We also told Chef that my husband was intolerant of Aubergines and he and Lee came to a mutual decision that they were an awful vegetable! Imagine how much we laughed when an Aubergine dish was presented to my husband as his starter - see photo - great fun from Lee which we all appreciated. The room too, was very comfortable, our only complaint being the overbath shower taps were a nightmare to adjust to get a decent temperature to stand under, we were either almost scalded or frozen - something that really ought to be addressed as it could be dangerous. We shall certainly stay again when in the area. Thank you Raven staff for looking after us so well.More

Sunday lunch. It is quite large and was full. It is oak beamed and the interior is a delight, with wonderful paintings on sale from a local artist (at great prices). Nice and warm. A forty minute wait for starters, which were great. The roast...beef was nice and pink sirloin ( 2 thick slices) and was "best ever". Superb veg ... but the yorkie was stone cold and lumpen. The staff didn't react calmly to a constructive criticism. They gave us a substantial discount, which was not what we were seeking, but was appreciated. The ice cream (mint choc chip) was another "best ever". Overall a good memorable meal. We will definitely return.More

This is our first time staying in lovely much wenlock. After reading the reviews on her for the Raven Hotel we decided to eat here in that lounge. The food was amazing, probably the best food we have eaten and we eat out a lot,...and it is very reasonably priced We are looking at coming back to much wenlock and bring our parents so we can eat here again. The place itself is tastefully decorated, all the staff were very friendly an nothing was to much trouble. Well done to all of you and thank you for a lovely night.More

Ive been to the Raven Sunday Lunch on the 20th February with my Mother and my Wife, i can only say what an outstanding service, very well managed team, we were in the main restaurant but they had people in the other restaurant too for...the number of people having lunch and 3 members of staff they have done an outstanding job. The young Lad was the star of the day he was in the bar doing drinks serving food and still going to every table checking if it was everything ok with the meal👏👏. The two young ladies always polite and with a smile on their face, very professional, will be our new restaurant for sunday lunch. Food 5stars the chicken roast was brilliant the fish cakes amazing and the desserts was the best of our meal. Hands up to the Raven.More
