Mighty M’s - Bacon Baps & Jerk Chicken On The A49

Mighty M’s is situated in a lay-by on the A49 between Shrewsbury & Ludlow, they serve English and Jamaican food. Proper hospitality, proper flavours from real people cooking with love. It’s a flavour packed experience, redefining lay-by food. This is how I got on!

Churchill’s Cafe, Shrewsbury

I’m roaming around Shrewsbury searching for the perfect breakfast! Proper caffs, not cafes! Churchill’s Cafe in Shrewsbury is incredible value and just about ticks all the right boxes for a proper old school breakfast close to the centre of town!
