We’ve visited many times now for lunch and every time all the food is very good. There are always three choices for each course and we have not been disappointed with any of our choices. We meet up there two or three times a year and the service is always friendly and perfectly pitched. Would not go anywhere else in Ludlow.

His natural ability meant it wasn't long before he was starting to cook and his career soon blossomed. He moved away from Ludlow to gather experience which took him to France, where he cooked for 2 Michelin starred Jean-Luc Rabanel.

We had a lovely meal and evening. One of our guests was very delayed, but the staff went above and beyond to make sure food was available on arrival, even kept the kitchen open an extra hour! Super friendly, lovely food and great atmosphere. Thank you to our lovely waiter.
