The Acton at Morville, near Bridgnorth, closed in 2018 and was branded an eyesore.

But last year, the pub reopened under new management and was fully refurbished.

Now the Acton has become the only restaurant in the Bridgnorth area to be awarded two AA Rosette's for its food after a visit by inspectors.

General manager at the Acton at Morville, Marcio Reis, said the acknowledgement followed a change in the menu at the restaurant from pub grub to fine dining.

He said: “When the pub reopened we were doing just fish and chips but that wasn't working for us, so myself and the head chef decided to change the concept.”
