Old Passage, The Description
Standing remotely on the banks of the tidal River Severn The Inn marks the site of an ancient ford or passage, across this, the longest river in Britain. St Augustine the first Archbishop or Canterbury is recorded as crossing at Arlingham, in 604AD to meet Welsh Christians at the Synod of the Oak, a few hundred yards upstream. What a pity he missed the splendid food and accommodation of today.
This history together with the tranquil setting and broad vistas of river and forest are now complemented by an excellent Restaurant, with rooms, offering the highest standards of welcome, the freshest and most delicious foods, the finest wines. Everything in fact that makes top English Inns the envy of the world.
Samuel Johnson once said "There is nothing which has been contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as a Good Inn." The Old Passage is run by Sally and David Pearce and they are supported by a young, skilled and enthusiastic team.

Your Reviews of Old Passage, The
Don Cuthbert (13 December 2008)
This place is a real gem with outstanding food and excellent shellfish. I will go back. This is how fish should be cooked.
Melanie E (8 April 2008)
My partner and I had been there a few times and though we felt it did not quite live up to its reputation, we enjoyed the freshness of the seafood on offer. Therefore we decided to take my mother for her birthday. The cold shellfish starters were very fresh, but the selection was less varied and imaginative than we had enjoyed previously. For main courses, those who chose the various fillets of fish fared better; people who chose things outside this 'comfort zone' were disappointed. I chose hot baked shellfish and my mother chose lobster, which were disappointing. What upset us even more was that the staff were not open to the friendly feedback we gave after we paid the bill.
