Jenko's Mongolian Barbecue

As a faithful follower of the Mongolian Steamboat method of cooking my nose twitched when I heard that Jenko's Mongolian Barbecue had set up, in all unlikely places, at Ketley, an offshoot of the Industrial Revolution at Ironbridge, and now intersected by the dual carriageways of Telford, one of which narrowly misses the Compasses Inn.

Malthouse, The

The place is definitely more restaurant than pub these days, the atmosphere is comfortable, rather than stunning, fitting with the décor of the rough plaster finished walls, decorated in ochre and dining room red, with resplendent check curtains, natural wove Wilton carpeting on the floor and a cream ceiling.
