   Always something new and tasty. The pulled bbq pork sandwich has just the right amount of zing. Thank you!

   Too noisy for us. Too many loud non diners just having drinks. Wouldn't eat here again as felt a bit self conscious. Maybe one area for diners and another for just drinks would work.

   Excellent cross section of delights on the menu to suit all tastes and portions were well judged. Lovely atmosphere and service was good with staff allowing plenty of time between courses. Maybe tap water on the table without having to ask and follow up on drinks more proactive but these are minor niggles and in no way detracted from enjoyable evening.

   During our stay in Ludlow we enjoyed our first meal so much we returned later in the week. An added bonus was 3 choices of gluten free food for starters - main course and sweets - good selection of beers and ciders.

   Good food, attentive staff and a lovely pub atmosphere. We had pre-concert dinner and went back there afterwards, for a last drink.

   Three meals were ordered, two of which would have achieved 5 Stars, one meal was dreadful. I ordered a greek salad with heritage tomatoes as a main course, it arrived as a starter. OK so a miscommunication. The dish was returned to the kitchen and reappeared with more tomatoes. The olives in the salad tasted of vinegar (presumably from a jar) the beef tomatoes were overripe and the sprinkling of crumbled feta cheese was minimal. Suggest you review this dish or take it off the menu. The only nice thing about the dish was the heritage tomatoes - deeply disappointed .

    Good to have a vegan choice that wasn't a beyond burger ! [aside that a bought in burger is lazy, I am not a vegan that is not looking to replace the taste of meat ] Husband was disappointed by his Corden Bleu Chicken [ he is a chef ] Veg was a little too al dente also potatoes were not cooked enough, great chips though. We didn't have a starter or dessert so can't comment . We however could not fault the service or ambience.

    Personally I couldn't fault the food. Delicious. Service was quite slow. An hour and a quarter for mains to arrive (OK for me as I had a starter) Haddock scotch egg was lovely, my steak was cooked to perfection (medium rare) and dessert super tasty. My friends steak was not so great. Generally would recommend but needs to improve service

    As always everything about the Church Inn Ludlow is first class, just one small moan I couldn’t get onto the guest Wi-Fi as it wouldn’t accept my email address. But it didn’t spoil the time I spent there so thanks very much

    We always visit The Church when we are in Ludlow. The staff are always great and the food excellent, although on this visit we had to pass one of our main courses back. The meal was fairly cold and when returned the staff were very apologetic, the kitchen produced a complete new plate of food so the only complaint was that I had nearly finished my meal when my wife’s new plate of food arrived. The only reason I scored “value for money” a bit low is that I had cod supreme with tiger prawns, it was absolutely fabulous but I thought £21 was pricey when the fish was a piece of cod and there was only 2 prawns. It was a bit noisy this visit mainly down to some loud locals standing at the bar, they should have been told to tone it down a bit. All in all a great place to visit and eat, and we will certainly be back the next time we are in Ludlow, we have never had any issues of any description in the past and these small issues this trip does not change our views.

    We were blow-ins so this was a late booking but all went well invluding the choice of table. Beef and ale pie was up to scratch as was the sweet potato, and the landlord's info on his selection of ales was spot on.

    Really enjoyed the eating experience here. Ambiance was good and it was clean, friendly & welcoming. The menu was varied and the beer poured well. Service was excellent the girls were so lovely. We had one of the steak pies and the cod. Extra gravy asked for and it arrived straight away. Plates were hot and food delicious. Cannot fault it. Highly recommend a meal here - it’s dog friendly too in one area.
