testimonials


“Popped in for lunch on a long journey home. Wow wow. Rarely do I find excellent food in England. The staff the scenery and the food outstanding. Fish soup yum yum. Loved the free sparkling water. Great team great food. Thank you! And the dog allowed in too”

Denny Langridge, July 25

“Sit sipping wine or beer (or whatever else takes your fancy) and watch the River Teme slip by. Summer or winter this is one of Ludlow’s must go to pubs and restaurants. Never disappoints.”

Richard Uridge, July 25

“Spent a couple of days here, perfect for a birthday celebration. Great location with views over the river from the Othello Suite. The food was delicious, and the service was efficient. All staff were friendly and welcoming. If you don’t stay overnight, then you must try the restaurant here. You won’t be disappointed”

Neil Williams - July 25

“Met up with friends after many years and the haddock and chips was to die for. Best in a long time. Easy parking, lovely surroundings and great staff. Would highly recommend ten out of ten.”
