The George in Shropshire

We was quite a large group but they fit us in no problems. The girl serving us was lovely and made sure everyone got their drinks even though they was asking for fiddly things. Couldn’t fault our meal it was just proper food done to a proper standard. Lovely central location and easy to get round town.

We are Ludlow locals, and have watched the full refurbishment of this previously public house, then pizza restaurant. The alterations are amazing, with a complete transition in style and focus on the clientele. This was our first visit, and we had heard of the inconsistent service and food delivery problems from friends since The George opened. Yet, as we believe in making up our own minds - here is our assessment. At the 'Please wait to be seated' notice, there was nobody, but a waitress arrived shortly. Even though we had booked previously, she permitted us to choose our table as there were several available. A second waitress arrived soon afterwards to take our drinks order. She was pleasant and smiled each time she attended to us. I advised her that I am a coeliac, and it was pleasing to see that a good proportion of the dishes on the menu were marked 'gf' (gluten-free). As with many restaurants these days, the dish descriptions don't quite tell the whole story, which may be a practical issue so that the kitchen can make slight adjustments without the need to refer back to the customer. My husband had to chase up the olive oil/ balsamic dip that was supposed to come with his flat bread. It arrived quickly with an apology. He enjoyed his steak dinner, and my pollo picante was very tasty. We did not have a dessert, just affogatos. Overall, a pleasant experience - we will go again. There were several families having a meal, suggesting it is a good venue for them, especially early in the evening, and that may support Ludlow's tourism. Only time will tell if the standards can be maintained.

Lovely airy and light restaurant. Well designed with tables far enough apart to have privacy. Open kitchen so you see the chefs at work. Menu caters for all, with a very good, varied choice, for coeliac and gluten free. Very efficient and friendly staff and excellent food. Felt very welcome and comfortable in this very pleasant efficiently run restaurant. Highly recommend.

Wonderful food Staff helpful and ideal for disabled person. For the quality and freshly cooked food price reasonable. surroundings great

We visited The George twice this week while on vacation locally. Our first was on a sunny afternoon/evening and we sat on the veranda terrace for drinks and food a very enjoyable experience spoilt only by the morons smoking on the lower terrace "Larger No Smoking Signs might help but only if they can read" On our second visit we chose to sit inside and was welcomed by the delightful Charlotte's, informative efficient and friendly service with a smile. Food was excellent once again.

Absolutely incredible meal. Both my wife and I really enjoyed it. The staff are really friendly and very attentive. Would definitely recommend. Very good value for money

Nicely renovated throughout. Extremely quiet, only 3 occupied tables on mid week lunch time. Service slow when entering. Pasta was lovely but for a small meat free portion for lunch at £16 its rather pricey. £3.30 for a small diet coke!! Was not informed of the 10% service charge automatically added, even to drinks!

Sunday night in Ludlow is not exactly rocking and with our chosen restaurant unexpectedly closed we entered the George worried by the three star review. We were pleasantly surprised. Okay the service is not great, it is not clear whether you are getting waiter service or you order yourself. The menu is not quickly forthcoming and there are signs that things are falling apart (so the soap containers in the loos were left half filled and with the tops off and the signage for them is terrible - you literally have to go in the opposite direction unless you want the “accessible” toilet) but with all that we had a really wholesome well balanced nourishing Sunday roast. Well cooked a decent selection of vegetables and juicy roast meat. The Yorkshire pudding was pretty good too and all at a decent price. If you like crispy roast potatoes in duck fat and garlic, it is well worth a visit. Guests around also seemed pretty satisfied. Just take the initiative.

Had Sunday lunch at the George. It was excellent. Beef was tender and plentiful. Veg was nice and I particularly enjoyed the Yorkshire pudding. It wasn’t all over risen air. It was flatter and more flavour some. I would recommend this restaurant. It puts an Italian twist on the roast dinner which I liked.

We visited this place several times during our recent stay in Ludlow. Friendly, welcoming staff, very helpful. Extremely large menu, indicative of mass produced, reheated food, which meant we didn't choose to eat there. But lovely place to sit and have a drink.

I’m surprised this place doesn’t have better reviews. It was a Pizza Express & while it’s not a chain, it’s still got a bit of a chain restaurant feel inside. It’s nice though and pretty cavernous inside. The menu has plenty of options from traditional pub food through to pizza’s & burgers. It is perhaps comparatively expensive compared to some of the local Ludlow pubs but I guess I’m used to paying South East/London food prices and it’s pretty standard to what I’d pay at home. The service was great - our waiting staff were friendly and fast and the food was all good. It feels a bit petty and whiny to mention it but the only lowish point was the Portuguese custard tarts which could have been more caramelised and have some nutmeg or cinnamon on them. The rest of the food was tasty and well prepared though. We had a really nice lunch and I’d definitely come here again.

We had the full English which was perfect - tasty, quality ingredients, cooked well & friendly efficient service. We will be back for dinner.

Took ages to be asked for a drink, staff were stood talking! Friend had a cocktail which when was made the waitress spilled it so had to make another for her! I had a pint of cider that I couldn’t even drink it’s tasted disgusting like the pipes weren’t cleaned for ages! Tasted more like vinegar! I only had a 1/4 of my pint and I couldn’t drink it, made me have a bad migraine the next day and I was also sick, which ruined my day!! The food was really good which was great I recalling enjoyed the pork and my friend had the sausage and Mash! Wouldn’t go back for food but I will say to the waitress next time if I don’t like the drink!

Excellent food! Very friendly staff. Service was efficient and overall a great experience. Would recommend the spaghetti bolognese and the pizzas 🍕

Good food, great service, lovely decor. We met friends for a pre concert meal and were a little apprehensive after reading some reviews, especially about the long wait for food. To our delight, everything arrived swiftly without any delay. The food was good and the service was first class. This pub used to be one to avoid, what a fabulous transformation. Well done! We’ll be back.

Really disappointed with our meal tonight, no Lobster and Squid and the Seafood Platter we did have had shell in the crab! Actually felt sorry for your staff who looked embarrassed. I did get half price on the platter which still felt over priced for some mussels, crab and sides. Will I recommend to friends not a chance!

Brilliant food , great staff. From the front of the building it looks like a small local pub , we went for a drink , then on the next day we looked down the side and saw an amazing restaurant. The restaurant has great decor . And I bet I is even better in summer , as the outside seating area is very contemporary and undercover .

Great fresh food,amazing atmosphere, best service from the beginning, can't wait to come back. Recommend oven fire pizza the best we ever had.

What a fabulous change to a blot on the market square landscape!! A transformation from what was a drab old wet pub to a sophisticated spot to enjoy fine food, cooked to perfection. Will definitely be visiting again five ⭐️ for me

The restaurant boasts a charming decor, yet my experience was dampened by notably slow service. Despite a limited crowd of only 6 occupied tables, it took 15 minutes to have our drink order taken. Surprisingly, a table arriving 20 minutes later received immediate service, seemingly due to a connection with the staff. It's disheartening when service doesn't align with the appealing decor – hoping for better consistency in the future.

Terrible service taking forever just to get a drink. Food was over an hour. Restaurant was not busy. It looks nice inside, but I would never go back

Terrible, service took over an hour for sausage and mash. Taken 25 minutes to even get a drink, it wasn’t busy. Perhaps more staff are needed.

We went here for a Sunday dinner and we were very impressed. Food was lovely and there was plenty of it. Staff were really attentive and we enjoyed our visit very much. Also dog friendly which is plus.

Never been here before but glad we tried it, food and drinks were excellent, very clean and tidy, staff were very good. One point the food took a while to arrive but overall excellent.

This is our second visit to the George. The transformation of the space is brilliant and it provides a great place to eat in ludlow. we had excellent cocktails to start - made by very helpful and cheery bar staff followed by delicious specials from...

Table booked 4.15pm long wait for staff to take order for drinks and long wait for them to arrive Another wait for staff to come to table to take food order Then very long wait for food to arrive During this wait we again had...

Only had drinks which were well kept ludlow gold! Friendly bar staff , chatty and attentive! We looked at food but thought it too expensive!

Really awful service could only describe as complete lack of service by rude, uninterested waitress. Overpriced over cooked food which took ages to arrive. 10% service added to the overpriced food and drink bill!

A really disappointing visit. We arrived and were shown our table, drinks and starters came quickly. Our main courses took over an hour to arrive which was difficult when our son was hungry. When we asked where the food was (after an hour) one member...

Love the way the place looks. Our second visit and the food was horrible. Pizza looked like a child’s menu offering and it all seems to be from the freezer. Really expensive for low quality pub grub. Service had improved but we were ignored totally...

We pre-booked here last Friday evening for a works Christmas meal (6 of us). We waited an hour after ordering mains for the food to arrive at our table. The turkey was dry, roast potatoes were hardly edible and there were no vegetables put onto...

We went to the bar for drinks on Saturday night and the restaurant for a Sunday roast. On both occasions we had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The drinks selection is very good and reasonably priced and the var staff were particularly helpful and friendly. The...

We ate here on Saturday for our Christmas party. The setting is stunning, the conversion has been well thought out. Everything else was dreadful. We skipped the starters and went straight to main course. After over an hour the main course arrived. The Turkey escalope...

A large group of us had Christmas Lunch there and I had the vegetarian option, which was very disappointing - 'Hassleback Butternut Squash' was meant to have a harissa glaze, which was non-existent; smoked applewood fondue was a very thick cheese sauce which hardly poured...

Starter issues, second starter came out still frozen. Made up with a refund and free drink which was fine, then they had lost our order for main course , and then the wrong tea came out after dessert ( ordered peppermint and got given Green...

The food at The George is fantastic, great quality and value. The down side was how long we waited for it, it was unbelievably slow. 2 children in our party ordered hallomi fries from the kids menu and they were bought out covered in chopped...

Good food served by polite and friendly staff in a nice atmosphere. Have a lift to dining area which is very useful for everyone with mobility problems.

I am not sure where to start here. This place although looks lovely is quite something let me tell you. We visited here late on Tuesday the 21st and were told they were closing early for Christmas decorating by a female member of staff when...

Very over priced, and pretty standard food. The biggest shock was the outside seating area which looks onto the public toilets 😳 not the best design really or sight as you eat your food….. many locals are saying the Christmas dinner is pricey at £95...

2 of the limited selection of main courses were not available. 2 of the limited selection of sides were not available. Ordered best bitter but guess what, it was off. Left and went to the Charlton Arms instead. Seems to be a recurring issue with...

As a group of 4 we chose this venue for an early dinner in Ludlow prior to watching the annual tractor run. The pub was fairly busy but no more than expected for a Friday evening in the town. The service was slow, long wait...

Warm and welcoming. I have now visited the George several times, both for business meetings and with friends. Dinner last night was fantastic, plenty of choices, with a great specials board and the service from the team was super professional and friendly. What Oakman have...

We have been to The George 4 times since it opened. First time food great; second time food good; third time food average; fourth time sent food back! Always takes an age for drinks to be served at the table. Staff very friendly lots at...

Went to the George in August for my birthday, the whole night was ruined by bad food and bad service, the deputy manager tried his best to apologise as customers all around us were complaining and refusing to pay the service charge on their bill,...

the best Sunday lunch I have had. a beautiful setting in a lovely extension with views of running river. the quality of the food matched the setting, roast beef was excellent , loads of meat and veggies and Yorkshire pud. lovely panacotta to finish. I...

Lovely tasty food. Good portions and excellent service! Great music too, gently in the background. I recommend!

Awful food, we had roast dinner it was only just warm and the potatoes were over cooked, hard and full of grease, the Yorkshire puddings were burnt and uneatable, the service was ok but we will not be going back

Lovely ambience. Tasty small plates ideal for lunch. Reasonable prices. Excellent staff - very friendly. Comfortable seats.Noticed what I believe to be acoustic panels which stopped it from being too noisy even though it was busy. The eating area is wheelchair accessible which is a...

Exquisite! A stormy day and needing a treat. Have just eaten the most exquisite, authentic Lebanese lamb. An absolute taste sensation. The spices - still dancing on my tongue. The environment, vibe, service and music … just perfect for that stormy day! Highly recommended!

Excellent service, Did not wait long for the excellent food. Helpful advice and information from staff.

Lovely place Laura was superb host. Had a super lunch. Menu had normal selection and ideas with a twist. Variety of different courses. Very worth a visit 😊

Last night we went to The George in Ludlow, with two friends. Our kitchen is being pulled apart, and we can't really use it to cook in comfortably, at the moment. There aren't many places serving food on a Monday night in Ludlow (apparently, you're...

my wife called to order a few bottles of champagne and snacks on a saturday late afternoon as it was my birthday......about 12 local friends were coming........my wife was told...."we don't do that".....they also said it was too busy.........we had a few drinks there anyway.......it...

PROBABLY THE WORST DINING EXPERIENCE IN LUDLOW. FOOD AVERAGE, OVER PRICED. UNDER STAFFED, WINE SELECTION SERIOUSLY UNDERSTOCKED .THIS CAN'T LAST. NEVER AGAIN.

Very nice and clean inside ,service was average, food was awful, hash browns were frozen inside ,these were replaced, but when served they were drowning in fat,and then ran out of pinot grigio,really!!!!!, very very disappointing, val of leominster

Very disappointing. Came for lunch and we all had sausage and has browns on brioche. Hash browns were covered in fat and still frozen in the middle. They ran out of pinot Grigio after two glasses and hadnt got any Sauvignon at all! Coffee was...

Wedding anniversary meal. First visit to this new venue in the middle of ludlow. Clearly a lot of money has gone into this venture. Menu is very limited for non meat eaters, especially if the fish of the day is salmon wrapped in chorizo. Shared...

Lovely to see this place refurbished and what a good job they've made of it. At the front it has a traditional pub feel, but at the back it's modern, light & airy with large windows & an open kitchen. I went with a friend...

Went for birthday celebration. Greeted as soon as we entered and shown immediately to pre-booked table. Waitress came along straightaway with menus, specials menu and drinks menu. Lovely dining room. Open kitchen so you can see food being made. Staff were all helpful and polite....

We had an excellent birthday lunch at The George. The drinks menu was great (recommend the Passiontini!....) Meals were very tasty - chef's special pizza and avocado, poached eggs, smoked salmon brunch. Service was quick, friendly, attentive and professional (a big thank you to Connor!).

Returning customer and absolutely glad for it. Excellent service once again, this time from Oli who looked after me wonderfully, was speedy and attentive to my needs. Excellent three course meal, cooked to perfection and tasted spectacular. The highlight of my evening was certainly the...

Wow, what an amazing dining experience. All the staff were smiling, attentive and the food was delicious. The portion sizes are great value for money and the atmosphere was relaxed. The room temperature was perfect, the tables were far enough apart that you couldn’t hear...

It took 2 1/2 hours to receive a pizza and two kids set menus for lunch during which our Al fresco experience was marred by other customers and staff traffic carrying chairs over our heads and moving tables/chairs about. We seem to had been forgotten...

Fantastic food, service and interior. Faultless service during a busy Friday night. The glazed cauliflower starter and Mediterranean lamb dish were delicious. My friend's both enjoyed their food as well. I loved the real plants which added to the elegant but comfortable interior design. My...

Decided to give the new place in Ludlow a try. We were greeted by a pleasant young man at the bar who explained the process. He was clearly new staff but efficient and friendly. Visits to him by the manager were very visible and seemed...

Had the most amazing half chicken Sunday lunch, Laura and her colleagues were amazing, the surroundings and atmosphere were incredible, thanks everyone (and keep up your patience with the “testing“customers 🙈😉😂

The venue has undergone a massive renovation and the work is impressive especially the restaurant. Eat lunch on our arrival for a mini -break. We booked for the following evening based on the food we had sampled but the evening’s dinner service didn’t live up...

Wow!! What a fabulous Sunday Lunch we had today. Nothing was too much trouble, extra Yorkies which were amazing. Staff really helpful and attentive and a truly lovely atmosphere. We WILL definitely be back! Well Done The George!!!

Super cocktails made by Kyle who excelled in both a mojito and a passiontini, so good we went back for more. Coupled together with excellent management skills of Laura who is an excellent front of house - made our evening super special. Lovely environment with...

Warned of the large fish and chips portions but all managed to finish. Tasty food, large choice and generous portions. Friendly attentive service. 2nd visit and both equally as good

We hadn't booked so had to wait a short while as this is clearly a popular restaurant. The service was excellent and the food was fabulous. I'm gluten intolerant and there was plenty for me to choose from. The bottle of wine we chose was...

Beautiful place, so quirky and can see a lot of money and time has been spent doing it all up. Food was amazing and staff were great! would definitely go again and recommend it. On the day however they were having an audit, this was...

What could be a great pub, let down by an unorganised kitchen and rude management. Ended up waiting two hours for food after ordering, when it arrived one dish was stone cold, and another, lactose intolerant was told as the dish was coming out that...

We popped in on a Thursday lunchtime and requested a table for 2. We were shown to our table and given menus. The George has only been open 3 weeks so we did expect a few issues … which we did experience. Our soft drinks...

My wife and I chose this newly refurbished restaurant during our 1-night stay in Ludlow. We were immediately struck by the 3-tiered dining areas. It was already fully booked for the evening by 3pm but the manager Michael kindly responded to our pressure and found...

Our first visit to The George and it won’t be our last Excellent front of house, excellent waitresses, polite and courteous And the food faultless

Really good addition to Ludlow. Very mode4n but welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. It’s open all day and offering everything from brunch through lunch to dinner while keeping the pub side of things going. We went for a late lunch but the place was still...

Lovely addition to our town. Great family get together in a relaxed and modern restaurant. Emily was lovely and all the staff were friendly and helpful. My only thoughts for improvement are you need to offer Parmesan with the pasta and the flat white coffee...

Popped in for a late lunch whilst on a few days away in Ludlow last week. One of the few pubs serving meals during the afternoon. Both opted for the Pork Belly for lunch - very tasty and succulent, and served quickly. Recommended.

The worst pizza i have ever hard the base was like sole on a shoe even the girl serving couldn’t get the pizza wheel though the base . So no hope for knife and fork .

Dined here a few times since opening and it’s a wonderful and very welcome addition to the town. Food has been faultless every time with a large varied menu. Service is great and the George has an amazing team! Special mentions to Charlotte, Lucy and...

Ir was gone two o'clock, the hour when according to most establishments in Britain one suddenly becomes no longer desirous of a midday meal, so we weren't optimistic when we looked in - but they were happy to serve us, despite being very busy. The...

We had a lovely meal in a vibrant atmosphere in this recently newly opened restaurant. On entering the immediate impression was how smart the bar area was with plenty of character. The friendly but efficient introduction was carried on through the evening, and when we...
