    Lovely hot, tasty roast dinner but had to pay extra for cauliflower cheese. Husband had whitebait followed by houlimi burger. Both courses for him were quite small. Drinks choice was good and reasonably priced but we felt the food was a little expensive. Waiting staff were very friendly and polite and service was good.

    Really good fish and chips with minty peas. My partner had the roast beef and cauliflower cheese, both excellent. They even did apple and rhubarb crumble for a dessert. What more could we want?! Great to be able to eat in Ludlow on a Sunday evening. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

    We have eaten here several times before, and never been disappointed. They even spontaneously served the dog a bowl of water! We will be back.
