The Furnace Kitchen

The Furnace Kitchen is pretty much on my doorstep. It's tucked away by The Museum of Iron.

We walked into a bright, airy and cool industrial café. The furniture is funky and comfy. My son and I chose a table. We were directed to where we could get water and menus.

I chose the croque Monsieur which came with salad and skin on yummy fries. Not really a traditional croque but still very tasty. My son had the pulled teriyaki beef flatbread with chips, he said it was really good. Great selection of teas, coffees and cold drinks.

Well priced, cool on a hot summer's day but I can see that it would be a lovely place to come when it's cold outside.

This is a well lit roomy restaurant. The food was great, and there were gluten-free free cakes, too. They have good tea options. The coffee has milk alternatives, and I chose oat milk for my latte. Staff were really nice, and the lady who served me was really happy to help, and that added yo the experience.
They do hot food, and the piźa looked amazing.
It's not cheap, but I'd say the price reflects the quality.
Great way to make the experience at the museum more enjoyable

Delicious lunch, cakes and coffee. Not cheap but worth spending a bit more for the quality of food. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. I will be back.

What wonderful place... So peaceful, hidden gem.
The food was outstanding so tasty, its hard to make Gluten Free bread taste that nice - Thank you, I can't wait to come back

Father's Day set lunch was superb scran, nice pink beef and didn't hold back on the veg! Cauliflower cheese was top draw

Lovely friendly place.
(menu a little on the pricey side) but the salmon salad that I had got my taste buds working overtime. Such a combination of different flavours that all went together.
Went down well with the pot of mint tea.
ANPR pay as you leave car park.

Great friendly and welcoming service. Lovely breakfast menu. Quality ingredients make the simple menu taste amazing.

First visit here a lovely environment from the moment you walk through the door to the moment you leave. Staff friendly and welcoming, nothing too much trouble. Food excellent good quality produce.

What a wonderful venue! We arrived for brunch on a Sunday, the menu was full of options. The food and coffee were very good and enjoyed by all. The atmosphere is great with great decor and attentive, happy waiting staff.

The venue is very disabled friendly with a flat entrance with no steps, an electronic door and plenty of room between tables. Parking is right outside and although chargeable, can be paid via a website without having to get to the payment machine.

Highly recommend and will certainly be visiting again.

Lovely building. Great gluten free options, including all the pizza.
Staff aware of allergens and able to assist.
Good food, nice setting. Free WiFi.

Perfect place for coffee or lunch. My mushrooms were delicious. Certainly a cut above the usual cafe fayre.

Really helpful, friendly service.
Fantastic coffee and dog friendly, fantastic! that meant I could wait for my family sitting with a coffee, thank you.

Great spot for breakfast, lunch or early dinner. Today I opted for the Curried Lentil Dhal from the specials and it was delicious.

Staff are lovely, friendly and helpful. Food is cooked to perfection, hot and tasty. Large room, high ceiling, clean, beautiful ladies toilet. Only downside on this occasion, kids being allowed to run around the restaurant spoils it for those who just want breakfast in a chilled atmosphere.

Great place to stop for lunch whilst visiting the iron museum, the burger is amazing as is the pizza.

We are localish, and its our go to cafe for a number of years . it has easy to access (with a wheelchair on occasions) and is pooch friendly too. we seam to mainly have breakfast but pizza good also. Car parking could be offered free with food purchase but that the gorge museums parking issue all over ! Great staff and most importantly for me "good coffee".... well done.

Great location. Lovely cafe, comfortable seating great coffee.

Great place, good food and atmosphere

Excellent food full of flavours good vegetarian selection too.
Lovely atmosphere great coffee ☕ and milk shakes.

One of the best dining experiences I've had in Shropshire. Will now try to plan a party here, and come back with many friends and family: it would be a great day out to plan a family trip to the museum, and a meal at the Furnace Kitchen.

The Chocolate brownie is insanely good.
