Housmans

Housmans sits on the High Street in Church Stretton, run by the Housmans family with head chef Rita in the kitchen. The restaurant serves a daily tapas and grazing menu alongside an a la carte selection that changes several times a week, plus a dedicated pizza menu and Sunday lunch. A wine list runs alongside a choice of twenty gins and a small cocktail menu, and the bar hosts regular live music evenings. The room is informal rather than starched, with tables turned over for both quick lunches and longer evening sittings. Church Stretton's High Street location puts it within walking distance of the Shropshire Hills, and the kitchen leans on regional produce for its changing specials. Booking ahead is advised at weekends, when tables fill quickly.
