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!!

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 bar serves excellent cask ales and craft beers and an impressive drinks menu - 3 pages of speciality gins, Monkey 47 a particular fave of mine - this alone is worth the 5 stars!!

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. I had the mixed grill, which was cooked perfectly, and my wife had the Gammon which she thoroughly enjoyed. 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.

There are three parts to it, the central pub, a small cafe as you enter and the restaurant in the rear. None of it is large, and all quite cozy. Since the restaurant seemed fairly full of patrons were opted for seats in the pub area. It was fun to watch all the locals enjoying a beer and having some fun. An occasional dog added some energy and involvement too. I ordered a burger and oh my goodness, as is usual in England the beef was incredibly fresh and tasty, and the entirety delicious. They heap cheese and lettuce, tomato, onion and with a double patty it is burger heaven! Of course it comes with fries. Having a local beer was great and the service was friendly and top notch. We absolutely enjoyed the meal. The only downside was the level of noise, but hey it's a pub.

Smaller lounge off to the side as well. It opens up in the back to quite a large room with high ceilings and natural oak. Decent selection of local ales and lagers. A few wines by the glass as well as gin, whiskey and such. Good was very good. Generous portions. Chips were excellent, crispy on the outside. We have ham, pulled pork, a bacon and Brie sandwich and a burger - everyone cleaned their plate. I would definitely recommend it.
