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.

Lime Kiln, The

The Lime Kiln is a re-invention of the very successful French restaurant formerly run by Ian and Jane Whyte in Brighton; it was taken over by John and Chris Hanby in 2004. The lines have been loosened and the Gallic format which prevailed is now relaxed and easy-going, more suited perhaps to the clientele, though boules in the beer garden feature strongly and children are positively welcomed.
