Bill's Kitchen - Ludlow in Shropshire

We were a party of 7 who popped in for breakfast. Absolutely extortionist prices. 4 English breakfast and 4 coffees = £59. My order was scrambled egg or toast and an English breakfast with 2 coffees = £28!!! Most of the English breakfasts were uneaten, swimming in sloppy eggs and water from the mushrooms. No taste, poor quality. Very limited choices. No thank you never again!

Really tasty, appetizing lunch on a miserably, rainy Sunday. Reasonable value, atmosphere was welcoming and staff were really friendly and helpful.

Great food and service. Very pleasant staff. Ludlow has so many great restaurants and coffee shops. This one was a great experience.

An unexpected find. We happened to have Bill's dinner, which I believe you have to book for. It was lovely. Just a lot better than run of the mill pub grub. Or at least a very pleasant change. Great value. And the man was there himself. Just a very refreshing format for an eatery. Pity there aren't more like it. Very common and successful format in Italy, I think, so very welcome in Blighty. Thanks, Bill.

What a fab little restaurant. I had the roast butternut squash, spinach and blue cheese quiche. It was so creamy and a big portion to boot. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area again.

This place has become too expensive and the quality of the coffee has gone down. My coffee today was barely warm and very weak. The person making the coffee was far too slow. Sorry but you had my custom for the last time. Fortunately there are a lot of other cafes in the town to choose from

Excellent breakfast on our last morning in Ludlow. Wonderful sourdough bread and excellent crispy bacon. Delightful service and more than happy to pay the price for such wonderful ingredients.

Visited Ludlow on a Tuesday afternoon, which turned out to be unwise as a lot of places were shut on Tuesdays. But not Bill's Kitchen! Lots of different cakes / sandwiches, the Breakfast Tea was lovely. Very traditional feel to it, e.g. provided a jug of hot water with the Teapots, which had giant tea bags protruding from their lids! Best of all on a personal note, they had a loaf of Bara Brith, something I had not tasted in around 30 years - it was delicious. Service was very friendly.

Lovely coffee and tea and very friendly staff. Food very well prepared and reasonably priced. Situated near the Castle and opposite the market. Great place to visit

Meal deal before Panto. My Pork dish, few pieces of pork was fine but my daughters & my grandson was just like soup, only couple potatoes & liquid. They should say run out and say another choice. Really poor.

Our first visit here and probably our last. My husband had the full English breakfast. The bacon was terribly overdone to the extent that it broke into pieces when trying to cut it. It was quite greasy as well. I just had a piece of toast which tasted like it had been deep fried in butter which also made this very greasy. The little pot of raspberry jam was nice. I do prefer to have my butter on the side and spread it myself. The coffee was okay and the pot of tea was very nice. Very impersonal restaurant and very noisy.

We booked for breakfast…well it was Christmas Eve🙂 and we were so glad that we did. A great breakfast menu with lots of choices including for a vegetarian who doesn’t like avocado, honestly that’s more tricky than you might think. Our breakfasts were well cooked, well presented and served with a smile. Great food, friendly, professional staff what’s not to like.

A nice cafe, but very expensive if you’re gluten free!! We popped in for a cuppa and decided to have a snack. We ordered a gluten free ham sandwich and a mince pie with two pots of tea. This cost £16.50. The gluten free small roll carried a 70p surcharge, contained 1 slice of ham, and too much English mustard. The salad leaf garnish was thrown on the plate. Cost just under £9!! Won’t be doing this again, very disappointing.

The food was amazing, very kind people, good sized portions, great for vegetarians, lots of choice and in a really nice place.

Had a Soup of the Day to take away which was very good. Would like to return to try the restaurant properly.

Just fabulous tasty honest food and super staff.😃 Plenty of choice for veggies, lush salads and very tempting desserts Great coffee, just all round great quality food and service. Casual relaxed dining .

Delicious food, lovely staff, super convenient for the market and the cinema. We had amazing carrot cake and delicious fish's pie and sandwiches. Thoroughly recommend

Called in for a mid morning coffee while my car was in a local shop being sorted. This kitchen makes the best smoked bacon roll that you will get anywhere. Literally to die for ! I will be back folks.

Visited to have breakfast, ordered 2 full English and asked for poached eggs to be told NO ! They only do scrambled eggs! I have eaten breakfasts all over the country but never been told they will not do a choice of egg Not sure why this is, it could be as simple as Bill can’t poach an egg! Left without ordering and went across the square to a long established cafe and had a wonderful breakfast which included perfect poached eggs

Had coffee and came back for lunch. Says it all. We were in Ludlow for the day, had a cuppa while we planned our day. Utterly delicious cakes and biscuits plus a lunch menu that looked great. Came straight back from the Castle for lunch. Stunningly good food, superbly fresh ingredients and we left with some of Bills Sesame and Ginger dressing. Owners and staff were also the epitome of friendly, efficient service

Visotors to Ludlow and we had a lovely pot of tea in this friendly cafe/restaurant. Food looked delicious. All home cooked and local sourced. The chap infront of us was very rude, but the lovely lady who served him explained why there were no vegetables on the menu and was very patient and accommodating. I would highly recommend this place for visitors to the area.

Enjoyed the food, a little bit different, although the menu was limited the dishes we had were great. Would definitely go again.

Extremely engaging, helpful staff, especially Lizzie, who let me taste the soup of the day first, which meant I was happy to order it; delicious Moroccan style soup. FABULOUS vast cheese scones too!

We came checked out the menu for lunch, not much selection especially for vegetarian/ vegan, and well over priced so walked out.

Great food. Clean cafe . Pleasant staff Breakfast granola was superb As was the scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. Tables well spaced out.

We arrived late for breakfast and our usual 'go to' was fully booked so called into Bill's for a late breakfast. The menu was ok, not a huge amount of choice but enough. We both ordered a breakfast however asked for the scrambled eggs on...

We called in for Lunch and placed our order quickly. We waited so long for all of our food order. Not many people waiting on tables and not much food coming out of the kitchen. Not much choice on lunch menu either cooked breakfast, quiche...

Called in for breakfast before a Sunday walk, wish now I'd done more research. Firstly the menu, just said "Full English", no further description of what was on the plate.... Prices, high, two breakfasts + 2 coffees > £30. Service poor, for the price, it...

Ordered a bacon sandwich and a sausage sandwich with side salad, they arrived but were rolls not sandwiches at a cost of £19 . The side salad consisted of green leaves no other ingredients. Not really worth the cost. Disappointing

Visited here for breakfast during Ludlow's Spring Festival. I've been here previously, but it's not as good as it used to be. Ordered the full English. Unfortunately, the sausages could have been cooked for longer and maybe turned over in the pan occasionally? The bacon...

Well we had the full English. Was very poor toast really soggy as over cooked wet scrambled egg on top no seasonings in it. The menu just says full English. So you have to guess what’s included. No choice of how you would like your...

Visited Ludlow whilst the May fair was in full swing.. which meant many "recommended" places were already fully booked for Sunday lunch. Chanced upon Bill's kitchen handily located on the market Square. Mainly serving Sunday brunches, so we had a good, tasty fish pie and...

Long queue to be served, had to clear our own table, no scones, ordered 2 ham sandwiches which arrived as 2 baps. £18! Thin ham with a bit of green salad. Not bad but no where near with £18, disgracefully overpriced.

I’ve been going to bills for quite some time… It’s bustling in the day and they do excellent coffee and cakes… The staff are also very good and always pleasant. However… Beware if you go to one of the jazz nights. Before it starts they...

Great service and very friendly. Central to Ludlow opposite the Market Square. Lovely food. All cooked from scratch. Particularly liked the cheese scones!

The food was not as described on the menu - the sandwich as ordered arrived looking like a burger and very overpriced The soup was unappetising

I visited this week with my husband, i ordered fish pie and he had a quiche. Both were very tasty but the fish pie especially was in a tiny dish. It came with just a few salad leaves. The quiche was more a small lunch...

Limited range of food, much of which seemed unavailable by 2pm. Fairly disappointing selection of teas with little if any fruit teas. Quality of what food was available was fairly good. Average experience at best. Wouldn’t rush back.

You can now find Bills Kitchen in a new location. Coffee great, food very good; Bill’s Kitchen Ludlow​ Ludlow Assembly Rooms 1 Mill Street, Ludlow SY8 1AZ​

We are regular visitors to Ludlow and over the years we have used most restaurants, tea shops and pubs. Until yesterday we had only enjoyed drinks at Bill's which are consistently good quality . We decided to try a cooked meal and while it was...

Excellent food, actually served by ‘Bill’, visited the Hereford one many times before, the first visit to Ludlow branch, will be returning again.

We had a Sunday lunch. The food that we had was lovely BUT to say that the vegetables were minimal is an understatement. For the £15 price tag pretty appalling. This was exacerbated when we went to pay and saw what was presumably the staff...

We had breakfast and the food was very good quality ingredients and well cooked. The coffee was the best we found in Ludlow, and we tried loads. Its odd having to fetch your own cutlery and condiments and the staff, although polite, were hard to...

Two drinks plus toast resulted in 23 minute wait, place was only half full. Not really acceptable, no apology given for wait

This is one of our go to places when visiting Ludlow. The staff are always so friendly and the food is great.

Came to visit Ludlow and was so lucky to go to Bill's Kitchen. Food was amazing and my service was so friendly. If the Tandoori marinated chicken thigh is on don't hesitate just buy eat and enjoy. It was delicious 😋

The food was very good, tasty and fresh however the lady that served me was clearly having a bad day, and the other lady who brought out my food almost threw it at me. A smile costs nothing.

This Sunday lunch was very tasty. I had roast beef and my husband had pork. A traditional dish nicely done. The restaurant was very clean and decorated in neutral colours.

Absolutely delightful food & lovely service. The warm halloumi sandwich was really nice - but the ‘top-hat’ on it was when the kitchen brought it out, cut in two & on separate plates, each with its own garnish… because we told the counter my wife...

Selected this cafe , based on previous trip advisor reviews. Our first visit and we would certainly return. We had the cheese, leek and lentil bake ( with potatoes and leaves) and the savoury flan with salad. Absolutely delicious! The place is well run, relaxed,clean...

I have eaten several times in this restaurant in Ludlow & Hereford. Consistently great tasting food every time. Locally sourced where possible so wins lots of brownie points for me. Makes me come back every time.

Popped in this evening and had Moussaka with salad… absolutely gorgeous. Staff are so helpful and always have a smile… food NEVER disappoints. Love Bill, his staff and his food!!

We arrived in Ludlow for an early bite for dinner only to discover that most places were closed on a Monday. We came across this unassuming restaurant and were pleasantly surprised that the food was delicious, the staff were warm and helpful, and the premises...

We visited for lunch on a Wednesday. The food was freshly cooked and delicious, the staff were friendly and helpful. Bill was there and was very happy to have a chat and sign the copy of his cookbook that I bought. We will definitely visit...

My boys booked a table for Sunday lunch to celebrate Mother's Day. Fantastic food, fantastic staff, fantastic Mother's Day. Thank you Bill's Kitchen

A welcome addition to the many eating options in Ludlow. Clean, stylish, and unpretentious Bill's looked to be a good place for coffee & cake or lunch. We stopped in for tea & cake but were tempted into a late lunch/ early supper. Great range...

Visited on a Saturday morning. Had eggy bread with fruit compote which was obviously frozen so made my teeth ache, it would have been a lot better a bit warmer. The full English that my husband had was nice.

We visit Ludlow a few times each year and came across this restaurant. One of our regular watering holes didn't serve lunches now so we tried this. The food was obviously freshly prepared and very tasty. We shall certainly visit here in the future

We had an early morning trip to Ludlow and had a few hours to kill so though we would have breakfast somewhere nice. Walking through Ludlow, everywhere was closed until we came across Bill's which had opened at 8am. We are very familiar with Bill's...

First visit to Bill’s kitchen in Ludlow. Lovely place, friendly staff and the sausage sandwich on home made Italian bread was delicious.

Came here for breakfast with family. Loved the coffee. Food was really nice and staff were very polite and friendly. Highly recommend.

I had a health issue on my visit. I was shown real kindness and reassurance from the staff and other diners. On my following visit i bad a great bacon butty. Lovely staff.

Great sandwiches with good fresh salad with wonderful dressing. Coffee also very good. Service quick and efficient. Highly recommended.

This cafe states it's open 08.0 to 20.00 which isn't really being honest. Hot food is only served up until 3pm and if you get there at 2.30pm then you get the dry leftovers. Not one of the staff who were on duty on the...

Warm welcome on a Saturday evening - despite not having booked. We were after a quick warming meal before a concert in Ludlow - very tasty beef stew, good wine and gave into temptation for a slice of orange & almond torte. Definitely will return...

Lovely cafe/restaurant. Went for lunch today - some great options. Tasty homemade quiche and salad but was equally tempted by soup and cheese scone. Good range with healthy choices.

Excellent food and drink quick and efficient service and very clean, especially polite ladies at the till and congratulations to the chef, I will definitely return.

Visited here twice during a few days stay in Ludlow. On both occasions we had wonderful food. Home made pumpkin curried soup and cheese scone is to die for ! The date flapjack is divine. Lovely staff. Super welcome. A really wonderful place. Will be...

Lovely salads and quiche. Arrived in Ludlow late Sunday PM and stumbled upon this gem. Service after 3pm resulted in half price on the remaining fresh food. Great food and worthy of the full price!

Popped in for lunch last week with no previous knowledge of Cafe/Restaurant. What a lovely surprise, the food was excellent, There was home made soups available of which I chose the curry flavoured spinach & lentil. Not normally what I would eat, it was delicious....

Lovely to find this restaurant today, we used to live in Ludlow and were let down today by a planned Sunday lunch at The Charlton Arms. So we walked back into town and saw Bill’s Kitchen. Lovely renovated light and airy building, good range of...

Visited with friends for coffee and a chat. Spotlessly clean surroundings in this new restaurant. Staff were helpful and served us promptly. Excellent quality coffees, and tempting looking cakes/food. Hoping the venture is a success and that you will expand into evening operations soon.

Went in just for a coffee and something light. But I was nearly convinced to get a full lunch because of the unique sides on offer - quite a good range that is healthy and changes regularly from what I'm told. Not your usual run-of-the-mill...

Firstly, it's fantastic that no music is played, I can actually talk to my partner and the cafe is very chilled out. Had Cheese scones and great coffee for our lunch during the food festival. The scones were well made and the cheese had a...

I had scrambled egg on toast with sausage and bacon. My fiance had eggy bread with fruit compote. Then my fiance had a scone and I had a brownie. And not even exaggerating, nicest brownie I've ever had! 10/10 would eat again!

Really good coffee and nice breakfasts - I had a sausage bitty on great homemade bread and my wife had eggy bread with delicious compote. The only thing: when food arrives and the waitress tells you that cutlery can be found over on the other...

Met up with friends here for lunch. Staff very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious and a lovely fresh selection of salads.. will certainly be making a return visit.

Having paid over £14 for a breakfast and coffee, I will not be returning here soon. No wonder Full Breakfast doesn't appear on the Menu. You need a bank loan to pay for it.

This does not look that exciting from the outside but we were hungry and needed breakfast. The food was outstanding and good value for the quality. Very impressed

Friendly and relaxing place to sit down and relax over a coffee or enjoy a delicious freshly made lunch. Dishes are simple but so tasty. Set in a historic building that is also hone to the town's theatre, right in ghe centre of Ludlow. Plenty...

We come to Ludlow regularly and this is a great new addition. Accessible, clean and omg the best salted caramel brownie I have ever had and trust me I have had a few. Great place to rest and refuel

Coffee was lovely. Disappointing breakfasts, eggy bread was very expensive, £5 for 1 slice of bread! Tiny portion! Croissant was extremely greasy at the bottom. Won't be eating here again!

Nice spacious cafe on the main square in Ludlow. Counter service at end of cafe. Lovely apricot frangipane and teapigs peppermint tea. Friendly, smiley staff.

Great Breakfast, freshly cooked with local ingredients. Friendly helpful service in a very safe and clean environment. Everything we ate was fresh tasty and well presented a great start to the day.

Limited menu (we had breakfast) but excellent quality. They are opening another in Ludlow at the Assembly rooms this year which is more central - although the current one is literally 2 minutes from the Market Square. I would recommend and would visit again.

We've experienced Bill's food at All Saints in Hereford so knew we wouldn't be disappointed by our New Year lunch, delivered to the door. We had leek and cheddar quiches with salad of intriguing textures and flavours, with roast potatoes, plus excellent carrot cake. All...

Found this unassuming place by chance on our walk around Ludlow. Had checked on here looking for gluten-free cafes but this hadn’t come up, because it had only just opened!! Had coffee & cake, mine a lovely gf sticky lemon friand. Our waitress was friendly...

Had a great birthday lunch out today with friends. As B'sK is still working on BYO I took a bottle of Paso-Primero Rosado from Tom Holt to share. Food as always was lovely - fresh flavours and different textures and a lovely pud - who...

We parked our car, it was so hot. I was so hungry and we weren't sure how far we were from the town center. We came across this place. What a find. We sat outside as there was no room inside. Tells you something. Great...

This new cafe' in Ludlow is a hidden gem. Bill is an amazing chef, he was the owner and chef of the award winning "The Place Below" in London. Bill's Kitchen serves hearty, wholesome traditional food with a Mediterranean & International flare. We went for...
