Wrekin Giant in short
The Wrekin Giant is a Hungry Horse pub and restaurant on Southwater Square, open daily with food served through the day, according to its own pub page. The spread runs from breakfasts to burgers, fish and chips and desserts, with family facilities including disabled access and a car park, and the kitchen holds the top hygiene rating [1] [2].
Customers rate the Wrekin Giant at 4.2 on Google across a base running into the thousands [3]. This review reads it as the family sit-down option in a takeaway table: somewhere the whole party can eat at any hour. What counts against it is the average itself, below most of the round and pointing to patchy experiences across a huge base of visits.
Our verdict
Our judgement: the Wrekin Giant suits you if you want a sit-down pub meal by the water rather than a takeaway counter — somewhere the whole family can eat at any hour of the day [1]. The 5 hygiene rating from July 2026 is reassuring [2]. What counts against it is the review average: 4.2 across nearly 3,000 ratings points to patchy experiences [3].
