Anywhere near Wolverhampton or Shrewsbury?

[HolyheadBound]

Posting in here for traffic. I'm looking for decent lunch (pub is fine) where relatively well-behaved children are acceptable within minutes (and I mean minutes) of the M54/A5 tomorrow.

Any ideas? I don't want to drive into the centre of a big town/city and faff about trying to find parking so in Shrewsbury or Wolverhampton themsleves is out. Some little village with a decent pub would be ideal. This is a stop off on the way to somewhere else, and I'm trying to avoid services.

Thank you!

PS: I have googled and tripadvisored but am not getting anything. We stopped at Northycote Farm last year which was good, but would rather not do it again.

I went to high school in Lancashire so I don't know any of you from there.

notoafternoontea I'll agree on the friendliness, I'd been living in London for a couple of years before moving here, it was a nice surprise when I made my first visit to a supermarket and the cashier showed me pics of her grand children.

I had lunch at the Shrewsbury Arms yesterday!
