The George in Shropshire

This was our third time going to The George but unfortunately will not be going back. We sat in the bar area due to having a small dog with us. We stood waiting for a member of staff for over 5 minutes, before going and finding someone to ask for our table. She was very dismissive and seemed annoyed we were there. We were then sat at the wrong table. It took over 45 minutes for the food to arrive, with starters being forgotten, and dishes were luke warm. I felt quite sorry for the one member of staff on the bar who seemingly had to serve people drinks, take food orders, collect plates of food, clear the tables and sort out the bill without any help from other members of staff. It is a shame as the food itself is of a high quality, if a bit on the pricey side, and the restaurant caters well for various dietary requirements. We left feeling more of an inconvenience than a valued customer and won't be returning.

Holidaying for a week in Ludlow we spent 4 evenings here and the service/ food was exceptional. Served with a smile from a smiling knowledgeable waitress Charlotte. This place stood out from the other eateries in Ludlow, the steak was cooked to absolute perfection and the place is clean, bright and a pleasure to dine in. This business deserves to succeed it has all the ingredients in a tough competetive field. The service is outstanding without being over fussy. However any customers can leave 1 star reviews is beyond comprehension. Outstanding ! Thankyou.

Very good Sunday lunch with an excellent Yorkshire pudding. All the staff were friendly and professional; Kay looked after us very well.

The George were accommodating in fitting us in for dinner. Good food, good atmosphere and pleasantly warm. Great service from Grace.

Claudia is an extraordinary chef who makes the best fries in all of Ludlow! 😋 Can’t wait to have more with a cheesy garlic flatbread!!

Booked online- you have choice of inside or outside . Parked in castle square car park which is literally ten steps from side entrance straight into restaurant. Greeted by a lovely friendly lady. The restaurant inside is so well furnished. Service excellent. Food really good, meat balk sandwich was super. Really great addition to Ludlow

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.
