ザ ゴールデン ボール イン(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.

We did not stay in this pub but with did visit it on several occasions during our stay for The World War 2 weekend and had meals and drinks. The beer was well kept and made for a lovely pint. The food was awesome pub grub. My friend had fish and chips and he can not remember having better fish and chips anywhere he was very impressed as we all were with the quality of the food. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I can not recommend a visit to this pub highly enough it will not disappoint

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.

Very good stay with friendly and helpful staff. Interesting history of the Inn - the staff explained when we asked lots of questions. Comfortable beds.

the golden ball was a great place to stay, if i go back to the area i would stay again.

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!

Lovely staff and beautiful location

This Inn was close to most of the Ironbridge museums yet set in a quiet area just out of town. About 20 mins walk down steps and beautifully trellised walkways. The staff were very friendly and the food was great, nicely presented, tasty and well priced. Room 4 was a lovely twin room, separate bathroom and a sitting area looking down onto the courtyard. Would definitely stay again, though the beds were overly hard:(
