Oooh this pub is looovely, especially on sunny days when you can sit outside in their garden…read more They seem to cater to both locals (lots of old folks) and people like us who were driving though. The staff were all very welcoming, and we were all really impressed with the friendly, efficient service. The menu was full of English comfort foods...and they executed everything beautifully. Just look at my photos to get an idea...I tried the goats cheese and caramelised onion strudel, which came balanced on potatoes and perfect ratatouille. If you ever find yourself in this part of the country, it is definitely worth popping in here for some lunch! *Pro tip: It sounded like they get very booked up in the evening, so ring ahead to ensure you get a table!!

When ordering the staff were very friendly & helpful, they were also wonderful with my daughter who had some four-year old questions about some of the meals & offered to make adjustments to the dishes if required. The food was delicious, we were visiting mid-week & chose a selection of the sandwiches which were all generously sized (despite being from the 'light' menu) & very fresh. We were sat on the second floor & so had an enjoyable view over the rest of the square, the entire bar was well laid & tastefully decorated, with a relaxed atmosphere - certainly somewhere we'd eat again on a return visit to Ludlow.

Downstairs has a bar area, plus tables and chairs, while upstairs has a smaller number of tables, two of which have great views over the square into the town centre. This is the place to come for an industrial sized vat of cappuccino and a sticky bun (the ginger cake is just fabulous) to warm up before you finish your shopping. Equally, there are some fine lunches to be had here. We've been coming here for about 5 years now, and I've docked a star because the lunches seem to be getting disproportionately more expensive over time. Food is of the rib-sticking variety (such as savoury pancakes, stuffed with roasted vegetables and topped with cheese sauce, sausage and mash, lamb cutlets etc). Finally a few words: prune and bitter chocolate tart. Just do it.

The Clive is a restaurant and hotel in Bromfield, just outside of Ludlow. Making use of the produce…read morefrom the nearby Ludlow Food Centre, it has an interesting and varied menu. Probably a good idea to book in advance though, the restaurant filled quickly, particularly with people staying at the hotel. The main dining room was modern in décor, with well-spaced tables to suit all party sizes, and some impressive artwork on the walls. The room itself perhaps needed a little more natural light, it felt a little on the dark side. Skipping a starter, we went straight for the main courses, a decent array of different dishes from duck breast to beef, sea bass to cannelloni. I went for the rolled confit of Gloucester Old Spot Pork, with dauphinoise potatoes and black pudding in a jus, with black cabbage salsa. Great rich flavours; a little fatty perhaps, but that is the nature of the dish. The spicy black cabbage salsa cut through the fattiness perfectly, but I couldn't have eaten too much of it, very spicy! My wife had the Bromfield rump of lamb with minted peas and broad beans, with a celeriac and potato gratin; again rich, bold and flavoursome, a good hearty meal. We also shared a portion of seasonal vegetables, which accompanied both dishes nicely. After such rich flavours, I chose a dessert with contrasting flavours, chocolate and salted caramel served in a glass, a match made in heaven! But only when I'd used a teaspoon to chisel through the inch depth of solid chocolate to get to the caramel, a very strange way to serve such a dessert. Wonderful flavours yes, but many times the glass nearly ended up on the floor, as I tried to get through the chocolate! A post meal flavoursome coffee rounded off the meal nicely, as was the voucher we were given to encourage us to return. The staff were knowledgeable, and unobtrusive, but looked a little flustered as the restaurant filled.

The Rake & Riddle caters for everyone with a tidy sized restaurant, sports bar and cafe. There is an outdoor seating area and play area for the kids. With a tidy sized car park to the rear.

The chips that came with both are cooked just like regular chip shop chips, which is a major plus from us. The price is comparable with similar restaurants and I felt the portions were good value for the money.

We'd been…read morestopping over here in Ludlow on our way to Snowdonia in Norther Wales and my radar for low-key, no-fuss, down-to-earth food was triggered when I saw the Olive Branch from the outside. Seriously, it's not a stylish restaurant, but the concept, the food and the overall atmosphere is absolutely lovely. I loved ordering at the counter cafeteria-style and then taking your trays to one of the wooden cubicles. The food was just as I expected: wholesomely tasty! We took some cheese scones for the ride and had them later for tea when we arrived at our cottage! Definitely recommend this place!

We eventually managed to find The Olive Branch and even though they were very busy and had lots of reserved tables we managed to get a table "laid up" for us. This place has lots of past Egon Roney awards and has a very laid back, Bohemian menu. The staff, if a little young, were very enthusiastic and full of energy. The menu wasn't extensive but there was a very good selection of dishes all of which were cooked wonderfully and the portion control was perfect. Amongst the four covers (Chicken stuffed with Shropshire blue cheese and wrapped in smoked bacon, Lamb and Apricot pie and Vegetable tarts) we were served a selection of salads (bean, fruit and nut and traditional green leaf) as well as a selection of stir fried vegetables. This was very novel and ensured we could pick and choose our accompaniments. The wine selection was also very nice - the Pinot Grigo went down far too well and we managed to consume a couple bottled with ease. It would be too easy to over look The Olive Branch but if you're in town do yourself a favour and drop in as you'll be pleasantly surprised.
