The Wheatsheaf Inn Restaurant in Shropshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We are three friends who used the pub/hotel as a central meeting point for a girly weekend away. The landlady and landlord were super friendly and helped to make our stay in Ludlow great. We didn’t get chance to try the food from the bar (a gig was on and they don’t serve a regular menu when this happens), but I believe it’s lovely. We did however get to enjoy the breakfast both mornings, which was really tasty and set us up for the day. The accommodation is dated, however it was clean and the beds comfy; not much to not like there. It’s not the Ritz, but you get a comfortable, friendly stay at a good price. We will be back to stay in this oldy-worldly pub in the future. Thank you to all the staff for your hard work.

Visited for drinks with two other girlies. Felt very awkward and we did not feel comfortable at all. The barman was very grumpy and looked like he did not care. Lots of local men at the bar who just stare at you. Left after one drink. Have emailed the owners to complain, am yet to receive a reply. Felt unsafe to us.

Quite a pretty pub. Bit of attitude from the staff. Slightly chippy. Would be fine for just a quick drink. Perhaps a pint of beer and some crisps. Cannot recommend the food as we did not enjoy our meals. Tasted like school dinners. Wine list incredibly basic.

Enjoyed a overnight stay at this lovely old pub in the heart of Ludlow. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Room was clean, facilities adequate. No thrills but worth the price. Breakfast was available at a extra cost, good heartie full English. Well worth the extra payment. Would definitely return for another vidit.

Welcoming and friendly and great pub food - the ham and eggs, lamb shank and steak and ale pie were delicious - good beers and leave room for the desserts as very tasty. Rooms are comfortable and clean and with a mix of accommodation available for our mixed group. Traditional breakfast which was made with local produce and butchers sausage - great stay.

The pub is lovely and run by lovely people and was only let down for me by the bedroom being so hot (no heating was on). Also, the noise as our room was directly above the bar (we could hear conversations clearly). The sleep we got was affected by this. Great location and lovely town.

Since the new management have taken over this pub has gone from strength to strength and is a great. welcoming local. Good, reasonably priced food is available every day except Tuesday. The ham and eggs are delicious and a generous portion. Sunday lunch is awesome. On cold days, the roaring log fire ensures a warm welcome The real ales are also well kept.

Perfectly pleasant one night stay. It’s an old pub and the furniture does need an update. The bed, towels and bathroom were very clean. Perfect location to explore.

Good atmosphere in this pub! Very busy but food came out in good time! Steaks were nice and food was hot! Met some nice people and enjoyed our night!

I live in Ludlow and there are many excellent pubs, but The Wheatsheaf is the best of them all if you like old-world cosy English pubs with lots of atmosphere, and good honest home-cooked food. The Wheatsheaf has been a pub for many hundreds of years, so if you’re looking for character and history this is the place for you. Along with a few friends we had the Christmas menu here last night and it could not be faulted. Superbly cooked, high quality meat and vegetables, generous portions and all served by friendly and attentive staff with a good sense of humour. Don’t come here expecting painted plates and Jenga chips – this is authentic home-cooking at its very best, all produced by the wonderful hosts Karen and Steve. My tipple is Guinness and this is, without doubt, the best place to drink Guinness anywhere outside of Dublin, and it’s the cheapest in Ludlow too. Happiness for me is sitting by the roaring fire at the end of the bar in the Wheatsheaf, with a pint of Guinness in my hand.

A lovely pub it said it was dog friendly but the barman wasn’t happy that my dog barked once when someone came in and said we should take the dog outside as he has people staying overnight and they would be disrupted by barking dogs this was lunch time not night time my dog makes less noise than a child crying and I would hope the guests were out enjoying themselves needless to say the barman got what he wanted we finished our drink and left

First visited and stayed here 4 years ago,decided to visit Ludlow again, and we stayed at this gem of a Inn, the owners have changed but the charm and friendliness hasn't. The Owners Steve and Karen made us feel so welcome as did the rest of the staff and regulars. The Sunday lunch was to die for. We stayed in Room 3 again, which has so much character. The Full English Breakfasts were delicious. We even took part in the monthly quiz which is on the last Sunday of the month. The Inn boasts a warm feel with a roaring fire which is most welcoming during the winter months. Great drinks selection at the bar aswell. Thoroughly recommended visiting and staying at this home from home.

Drank here quite a few times but stayed for the first time the weekend, room was lovely, breakfast was fabulous and the Sunday dinner was fantastic, definitely booking for next year no question.

We arrived in The Wheatsheaf between 7.50 and 7.55pm on a Monday evening (We were cutting it fine owing to a dreadful eight hour journey from Kent.), hoping to enjoy a meal in a pub that had attracted us through Tripadvisor and its website. I think a sign/board outside stated "Evening meals 6.00 to 8.00pm". I waited a few minutes at the bar, whilst the member of staff tended to a bill, and noted a couple being served a meal, so was hopeful we'd be in time. When the member of staff turned to me, I asked if we were in time to order food (I reckon it was about 7.56pm), she told me the kitchen had just closed. We were both surprised by, and disappointed with, with this rather inflexible and inhospitable approach. I think if I had been working there I would have obliged. Needless to say we did not return to the pub during the rest of our stay. I guess business is pretty good there, and there is no need to court custom.

No breakfast! We got up early as it said breakfast was 8 until 8.45. Early for a Sunday morning. We sat at a table. There was no one around but people in the kitchen. I went up to the bar and stood waiting for ages. Eventually after having to shout morning, someone came out. We were told we hadn’t booked breakfast and they had turned everything off. I understand it was my mistake that we didn’t book breakfast but the way we were told and there was no offer for us to pay extra for some breakfast. It isn’t clear on booking.com that breakfast isn’t included. Not the fault of The Wheatsheaf but maybe it is a good idea when you check in that they ask if you would like breakfast in the morning. We ended up with a bacon sandwich from Greggs!

Lovely steak and fantastic atmosphere! Highly recommend! The landlords are super friendly. Good selection of drinks!

A friendly landlady and landlord , and if you sit outside, a great view and a real sun trap. Spent a pleasant couple of hours there. Twice.

We had 1 night B&B, room provided everything we needed & was clean & comfortable. Very clean, large soft towels & quality bed linen. Tea& coffee facilities. Staff were all great, welcoming and friendly. Fantastic full English breakfast to send us on our way in the morning. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit.

Excellent food- lovely pies and burger! Highly recommended. We ate in a area that didn’t allow dogs which was great! The menu is hearty English food and fresh

Great Sunday Lunch, called in on off-chance not thinking we'd get a table . The roast beef was plentiful and so tender, a big dish of vegetables as well as new & roast potatoes, Yorkshire Pud and stuffing. An extra jug of gravy also accompanied our lunch,without having to ask ! Staff very welcoming & chatty . We also had apple crumble with custard & a syrup sponge with custard. Portion sizes are very generous, we could not fault it and will definitely return . Considering the publicans had only taken over in February this year they have definitely got the food right , lovely friendly atmosphere too. Could not find fault .

Me and my partner had Sunday lunch and pudding. Both was fantastic. My partner left to go home and I stayed to start a new job in the morning. I came down for tea and was told the kitchen wasn’t open for tea on a Sunday. I was told by someone that worked at the hotel that four undesirables had checked in and was opposite sides of me in my room. You could hear them downstairs in the bar being very loud. I fell asleep and was woken at 1am to one couple screaming at each other for three hours. I went down to breakfast at 8am to a full English breakfast which I think was poorly prepared and cooked, such a shame when the roast dinner was so lovely. The toast was white in colour and not really toasted. I have left a number of email complaining about the noise level but no reply.

Excellent Sunday roast with lovely friendly staff and treats for our dog. Nothing was too much trouble recommend this pub to anyone.

Visited yesterday and understandably for an Easter bank holiday Monday it was busy. The lady serving behind the bar advised that because it was busy they would be unable to take our order for an hour and this again we understood and had a drink whilst we waited. After an hour the lady took the food order of a group who had arrived at the same time as we had (she said they had booked but it was clear by the conversations we heard at the bar when they entered that this was not the case) and then proceeded to tell us that she could not take our order because they had another booking coming in. Overall very poor service - had she told us at the outset she could not take our order we would have accepted this and would have gone and sought an alternative pub, but to leave us an hour, take the order of someone who had arrived at the same time we had and then refuse to take our order was just poor service. We will not be returning.

Lovely lunchtime visit. Warm welcome to two feet and four paws alike . Lovely sandwiches , Bailey enjoyed dog biscuits and all food bade fresh - recommend

We had an excellent Sunday lunch at The Wheatsheaf recently and for value in Ludlow it’s hard to beat. We both chose the beef, which we requested to be just on the pink side of medium and it was delivered to us exactly as asked for. The meat was beautifully tender and flavoursome. To complement it there was a very generous dish of vegetables, both roast and steamed and a separate pot of creamed leeks - delicious. My husband likes his gravy and a large jug of this, piping hot, made him very happy!Well done and thank you. It’s wasn’t our first Sunday lunch here and it certainly won’t be our last.

3 visits during our week away. A great dog friendly pub. Met the landlord/chef who has a dry sense of humour that I got straight from the off ! Good drinks and pork pie. We got told he was an excellent chef by the man himself. Steak night came and indeed he was correct! In fact to die for!!! Thoroughly recommend a visit.

My wife ordered the fish and chips and found it not to her taste. When she was asked if everything was ok with the food, she said that did not like the batter and the fish was laking in flavour. This was relayed to the "chef", who proceeded to lecture her in the quality of the fish and the batter in a very passive/aggressive manner. This continued for what seemed like an age, but was more likely to have been 5 minutes. He insisted that the price be taken off the bill, despite us not having asked for this, giving us the impression that he was doing us a favour. He also insisted that this be noted on any review that we gave. We had booked 3 nights, but felt so uncomfortable that we left a day early rather than have to face him again.

We went here for a family lunch whilst visiting Ludlow. The food was amazing. It was one of the nicest burgers I’ve had and the children’s nuggets were homemade and delicious. The staff were very friendly and even gave our dog a chew! I’d highly recommend a visit.

we were staying at the Charlton Arms down the road and the real ale there was a bit ordinary so we wandered up to the Wheatsheaf. Having read about the history of the road and how they were the last pub to make their own beer, I was hoping for a great pint of real ale. At the bar they have an ale called Wheatsheaf. It would not be unreasonable to assume they either make this themselves or have it made for them by a local brewery. When I noticed that it was made in Bedford, the Landlady admitted that it was actually just Courage Best with a different pump sign. She wasn't best pleased when I said that misleading customers was probably the only way they could sell Courage Best, but this is not a beer loved by true real ale fans. The alternative was Hobgoblin which I would also put in the nasty category. Call me a beer snob, it's true, but if you love beer, I'd give this place a swerve.

Fantastic! Food and drinks had a brilliant selection to choose from, and everything was just incredible! Staff gave excellent service (big thank you to Sue and Neil the owners). Atmosphere was very friendly and relaxed. Highly recommend and will be returning everyday as local of Ludlow.

Visited Wheatsheaf Inn three times in our 2 day visit. A pleasant little inn with outside seating at the front looking down historic Lower Broad Street. Our dinner time visits were for a drink after a very warm walk. We were served on both occasions by a very pleasant young lady. We noticed a board saying Thursday night was steak night, two for the price of one and booked for the evening. Our meal was excellent and consisted of two sirloin steaks, a large cooked tomato, three onion rings, plenty of button mushrooms and real potato chips, not oven chips. The meal was cooked to perfection and full of flavour and at £19.99 for two meals was a real bargain. The inn was very clean and orderly and the manager and his wife were friendly and attentive. This would be our only 'port of call' whenever we visit Ludlow again. Thank you for a memorable visit.

We have just had a one night break staying at the wheatsheaf in Ludlow. The pub is a lovely friendly place and the rooms were lovely and quiet. We had two rooms a double overlooking the road and a twin at the back. These rooms were good value for the price paid. We had a full English breakfast freshly cooked in the morning which was very tasty. Thank you for your hospitality! We will be back soon!!

Hostility rather than hospitality! Maybe we caught this picturesque pub on a bad day but I wouldn’t waste your money or time here. We arrived for some drinks on a sunny Saturday evening as a ‘rule of six’ group. We asked if the bar was still serving the reply ‘serving what?’ I replied politely ‘drinks please’. We were interrogated about the number of people, we explained we were 6 and were complying with restrictions when the person did not wear a face covering. We waiting for around 15mins but nobody came to serve us. A friend approached the bar and was severely told to ‘sit down’ we were just trying to see the drink options and attraction some attention. We left and the miserable man shrugged.

Sat outside and had a very nice pint of cider. Freindly service and I would have 5here too if i hadn’t had a huge lunch. Smell from the kitchen was seductive.

Sunday lunch highly recommended , all home made and quality , large portions , advisable to book in advance. The landlady and chef very attentive and friendly but not too overbearing.

Landlord & Landlady, enjoy a laugh though it’s very dry humour.Had a lovely Thursday evening steak night, such good value. Landlord is also chef, he came out to see how we liked the steak cooked, he even made a lovely peppercorn sauce, from scratch ( though he said he wouldn’t make it)Lovely food & a good laugh

This pub has huge potential but it will not be fulfilled by the current owners. Its away from the market area so you need to know where it is to find it but having rooted it out a warm welcome is not guaranteed.

If you want a miserable welcome ( you would think they would want our custom!!!) and an owner who obviously doesn't enjoy engaging with his customers ..this is the place for you!!!! Such a charming pub with charmless owners !!!!

Great Sunday take away lunch, what a treat during lockdown. We just rang up and were given a time slot. The meal was piping hot and included a vast array of veg 😊

Would you like to be disappointed, offended, insulted and angry at the same time? Well, that’s what the newest landlords at the Wheatsheaf can muster up for you!My father, partner and myself walked in one evening for a drink. The blank-faced owner behind the bar looked over and told us to sit down. We waited for a few minutes while she and another barmaid chatted and dried glasses. We were about to get up and leave but luckily her husband was passing by us. Service had arrived! (He is the chef)He leant over and said “You don’t want food do you?”My partner replied “No, just a drink please”He replied “Good, cos you’re not getting any”Then he walked off, and so did we.

We were staying in Ludlow and less than 250 feet from this Pub so a visit was required. We booked in on a Thursday Night for the Steak and whilst making the booking was a tad officious (due to Covid19) we were welcomed in when we visited. Drink order was taken and the Chef came to chat and ask how we liked the steak cooked etc - that was much appreciated and the food was excellent. We were sio glad they are trying to keep going in these strange times and whilst there were a few unusual 'locals' in there we would certainly eat there again.

Fantastic value. We had the wild mushrooms as a starter really good. I had Sirloin steak cooked to perfection. My lady had the Steak and Ale pie which she enjoyed. Excellent hosts.

Call here whilst on our 2 night stop over. Firstly for a drink outside then we booked a meal for the second night. On our second night we got to meet the Chef Neil, who obviously has pride in what he cooks. We ordered off a blackboard which we thought was a good idea as lack of cross contamination on touching menu's. The menu was varied, and we chose Gammon and egg and sausage and mash. The meals were lovely and the the meat was bought local, but the frozen chips were a bit of a let down, but sometimes this reflects on the size of the kitchen and the preparation of them, but otherwise very nice food. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. All the Covid restrictions were in place and the place is very clean. Lovely little pub to visit.

Booked a table for 2 for my birthday, had to have a 6 o'clock slot as it was " fully booked", drinks ordered and shown to the table in what resembled a prison cell, after perusing the blackboard and hoping that a menu would be bought out to us we were disappointed when a person came to the table and said due to Covid 19 restrictions we cannot give out Menu's and could we chose from a very lack lustre selection on the blackboard, i told the person i think we'll pay for our drinks and leave, thank you, while paying i was greeted with a grumble and grunt, on leaving we went up to the Thai restaurant in the town where they had full menu (handed out) and were very welcoming

My husband and I were staying in Ludlow for 3 nights and we stopped here for drinks most days. Very friendly staff and locals. Food also looked good.

Me and my husband visited this beautiful pub and had the most enjoyable evening eating a home cooked dinner. I had the tika masala and my husband had the fish and chips which all tasted amazing as it was all home cooked. The chef was so friendly and enthusiastic about his cooking it made the evening. They also do bespoke meals if you give them at least a weeks notice x the chef kept coming to give us samples of his cooking! Brilliant x

Superb roast beef dinner, friendly helpful service excellent real ales, historic atmospheric pub , loved it

when I visited last year it was pleasant and I had a lovely meal there; prawn cocktail was amazing; but its changed hands along with the atmosphere. It is cold and unwelcoming . the meal i had there recently was not impressive. \ The landlord was very rude and upset us by being really surly and sharp and unfriendly. We were totally ignored for ages as the landlord talked to a local and we nearly left at this stage but we waited patiently don't know why really.. Its meant to be dog friendly but there were no dog treats offered and my tiny dog who is elderly and almost blind was made very unwelcome and frightened by the confrontational language of the landlord. There is unfortunately very little outside space and what there is doesn't social distance .Not my cup of tea at all. wasn't worth the walk down the hill from town

absolutely lovely time in this pub. had a meal and some drinks. the chef was a great guy, who actually spoke to his customers, which was a very nice, as you dont usually get to speak to the chef. all the other staff were very pleasant and id highly recommend.

Me and my missus thought we would pop in for a drink as it was a lovely day, went inside and straight away was greeted with rudeness and abrubtness, yes we understand there is a pandemic going on but I think the bar maid went to far by telling us "stand behind the white line" like we were naughty children as we stood at the empty bar while she took or details, she didn't seem to bother saying it to the people served before us, she wasnt wearing a face mask or gloves, so we should have been the cautious ones, I had to leave before I gave her a piece of my mind, as we left she shouted it's the policy in ALL the pubs in ludlow, strange that as we just came out of the Charlton arms just down the road who were very pleasant and respectful, avoid this place...

We had the Tapas really lovely tasty food,great value.Staff friendly and the Chef great.We look forward to returning.

We are staying just a few steps down the road from this lovely old pub. Ate there tomight. Tapas menu on tonight. Everything very delicious and at 50 quid for a lot of tapas for four of is plus wine and drinks for kids very good value for money. Owners very friendly and came over to chat. Highly recommended. ♥️

It was a cold night in October and it was so nice to walk into this lovely Inn. The fire ablaze, a friendly bartender to greet you, and a perfectly served drink. What could be nicer!

Ignore any criticism about the food. The Sunday roast is to die for. The pub has had a new owner from December, myself and my GF and son went for a Sunday roast. All I can say is wow! Very impressed, great food, service was good. Try the warm scotch egg for starter, very yummy. We will be returning and I can highly recommend the roast.

From the minute we walked through the door we loved it. The smell of the log fire and the ambience of the place was great, and we received a friendly welcome from the lady behind the bar. The food arrived and we weren't disappointed. I had a hot scotch egg accompanied by sweet potato fries, while my husband had the 10oz gammon, egg and chips. It was amazing, perfectly cooked and extremely tasty. After we had eaten the chef came out to talk to us. He was very informative, not only about the food, but the local area as well. We left very happy, after booking to come back for their Sunday roast.

This is one of those pubs that you are so glad you walked in the front door, greeted by a big open fire which instantly warmed you to the bones. We ordered food and was not disappointed, i ordered the 10oz gammon which was cooked to perfection. My wife had the Hot Scotch Egg which was amazing. Must say Hi to Sue as i said i would when i wrote this review. This is a pub you cannot walk by open that door and go in.

we used to live in Ludlow and enjoyed many nice Sunday lunches at the Wheatsheaf I also used to pop in for a pint and sit by the roaring fireplace

lovely place with friendly atmosphere stayed here after visiting family good food and helpful friendly staff, room had good comfortable bed. Great value

We went to this lovely old pub on our last night in Ludlow. The welcome , the atmosphere and the log fire were all warm and the food was excellent. This is a pub restaurant as it should be, cosy and unflashy with lots of period charm. The menu was extensive and interesting and portions were generous. Thank you Wheatsheaf, we will be back, hopefully to try one of your letting rooms!

What a lovely Sunday dinner and pudding we had there today , the staff are very polite and the table service is excellent, warm cosy atmosphere ale very nice and dog friendly

What a lovely little pub. We were out and about in Ludlow (horrible pouring rain too) but Hubby's car was having work done so we walked around a bit then came across this little pub. Unfortunately we had just missed out on the lunch service BUT the very kind man behind the bar (I think the owner) offered to make up a sandwich and salad for us...so we took him up on the offer and enjoyed a drink in this cozy, warm pub! We will definitely be returning as all the food on the menu sounded delicious. Thank you for going out of your way to make us feel welcome and for making us some sandwiches.

I have waited to write this review and have been reluctant as I am a local, but this pub needs to up its game. I honestly didn’t notice the food because after waiting over two hours in a near empty restaurant on a Monday night for it to arrive, we inhaled the food. The management/owner/staff did not seem to understand the rudiments of service: As the 6 of us are in hospitality, we expected apologies, an offer of drinks, desserts etc. But the dessert menu wasn’t even offered after our meal. I think the remaining staff had gone home. The place was deserted. I do hope that the staff do better with visitors to Ludlow. It was embarrassing for me to take my friends there.

Tradition old pub. We booked a table, but as it turned out it was not necessary. Our roast lamb with all the trimmings was good.

Great little pub On the edge of the town. Good food and friendly atmosphere. Our little dog was made very welcome with fresh water brought over without asking. Very happy with our meals, 4 empty plates!

Lovely little historic pub. Ideal location. Lots of history in the pub and area. It is at top of hill. Drink and food choice brill. Lovely . Recommend this place. Dog friendly . Lovely staff and decor

Historic Inn with excellent food and drink at reasonable prices served with a smile and large portions and well presented

Come here last night 15/8/2019 for the firsted time and got to say the food was outstanding....Good value for money...For was hot and well presented on the plate... The staff were happy and made us very welcome... We will definitely be coming back...

We ordered 2 chicken curry, rice and popadom. The service was attentive and when food arrived was very tasty, and we finished everything. Very good value and clean and pleasant environment.

A family evening meal in a traditional pub - no jukebox or (even worse) pool table. Just a very friendly welcome from the charming Zoe and her delightful waiting staff.

We enjoyed our meal in here. I had the asparagus soup and hubby had linguine with a lovely sauce. We shared the cheese board which was more than enough for us. Lovely old building with friendly locals and a good atmosphere. A nice casual meal was enjoyed.

As mentioned by a previous reviewer, the pub does not display any meal prices. Just a list of choices on a blackboard. More fool me for not asking the price before putting in the order.

Poor food for the money - Yorkshire pudding flat and soggy, vegetabled undercooked, so called roast potatoes seemed to have been fried so tasteless. Not good and I won't be going back

The pub is nicely situated, and is very nicely presented, the staff are really friendly. The menu is quite extensive, and caters for all tastes, but no prices are shown. We were quite surprised with the prices of some of our meals especially the starters, all in all a nice meal

We stopped here for lunch while traveling to northern Wales. It was a beautiful tavern in a lovely town. The food was excellent and the people very friendly. We had a delicious Roast beef with Yorkshire pudding and 2 different types of Tarts. The White Chocolate Mousse was also incredible. The chef came out to to check on our food. I wish we could have stayed in the area longer.

We went with family not expecting much, the service was good a fair selection of beer and a reasonable menu. We were all surprised by the food, it was good quality and served just as we ordered. I would certainly go back and that's a complimemnt.

My wife and I visited The Wheatsheaf pub twice when we visited Ludlow. We had an evening meal which was delicious and returned the next week with a couple of friends and ate outside. We all had fish and chips, which doesn't sound very grand or daring, but we again found the meal really delicious. As with our first meal, the chef came to our table for a chat which we thought was pleasant touch.

Spent a pleasant couple of days here. Smallish room but clean and comfortable. Not a big choice at breakfast but good size portions. Free parking available at a local business. Don't park by the pub! We got told off by a resident when dropping our bags off on arrival. A very pretty town with a lovely castle and local walks but unfortunately we picked a very wet few days to visit.

This establishment has awful customer service, average food and best avoided as there are far better places to eat in Ludlow. Accidents do happen but how you deal with them is a true reflection of good service. Will definitely not be returning.

4 of us had lunch on Saturday. Food was less than average and my pet hate, sharing one bowl of chips between guests instead of one each, cheap skating always let's pubs down, just to save a few chips!

My and a visiting friend had a delicious Sunday lunch...I mentioned that it was a bit scant on the veg (though they were very nicely prepared) so I appreciated that the cook provided us with an extra portion for free and had a chat...very good service and it was very well prepared. Superb pudding and good beer too in a cosy pub.

Very warm welcome from all staff and very understanding and helpful with our friend's puppy. The chef gave him a bone. Sausage sandwich was excellent as too was the fish sandwich. Will definitely return.

Popped in for a quick bite to eat . Welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. Had heard a new chef had started this week and after devouring the home made ‘fish finger’ sandwich ( comfort food at its best, and it is actually battered fish cooked on site , not your standard fish fingers!) ) I could not resist seeing if his puddings were any good, as I consider myself the ‘queen of puddings’. His home made bread and butter pudding was faultless , light, not stodgy like some, and absolutely delicious. He even shared the recipe! I also tried the new chocolate mousse , which was rich, airy and totally decadent. The quality of these puddings were truly outstanding and we shall return soon to see what else he can do as it’s a long time since I’ve been so impressed by ‘ pub grub’ . You could taste that quality ingredients had been used and therefore the lunch was excellent value.

Decided to have Saturday dinner in Ludlow. The menu at the Wheatsheaf looked appetising so we decided to give it a whirl. The meals were disappointing and we felt that we had to beg for potatoes and vegetables. What eventually appeared beggared belief - mash that tasted like it had come out of a packet, ratatouille instead of seasonal vegetables and dauphinoise potatoes that looked like slices of potatoes with butter or margarine. Considering what we paid for the meal, it was appalling. Please don't fall for it!

Lovely traditional pub, nice decor, clean tables ( too many tables in restaurants are still sticky!) Although we had wait a while for our meals to arrive, it was worth it. Quality food, cooked really well.

The Wheatsheaf is in Lower Broad Street, next to Broad Gate. There is no parking at the pub, but in the evenings free parking is available nearby. We were seated close to the bar, and the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. For starters we had the Whitebait and the Vegan Spring Roll - both were excellent. For the main course, I chose the Slow Cooked Pork Belly - this wasn't too fatty and came with excellent crackling, the helping of mashed potato was too large, but it was too good to leave any, a little apple sauce would have been welcome. My companion had the Chestnut and Blue Cheese Encroute, which she enjoyed. We had house wine, and I consider the £4.45 charged for a small (125ml) Shiraz was excessive.

We went for a meal here and the food was lovely! Very good staff we were well looked after, it just felt like it lacked a bit of atmosphere. The music was a bit low and it did feel a bit cold inside. We would still recommend to friends and family overall very good!

Called in for a half a pedigree and saw they did a Sunday day roast from 12 noon till 8pm( beef or pork with all trimmings) . It was about 3pm. I hadn’t eaten so ordered the beef.

Ate at Wheatsheaf 25th november 2018

Food was good however staff were very inexperienced which caused some confusion over the meal and poor service. Not much choice for vegetarians and waitress did not take the order correctly resulting in incorrect food being served.

Came for a meal on Saturday night and both courses were delicious. Proper home cooked food. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Loved it that much we came back the fillowing night and again the food was beautiful. Really surprised it's not busier. Good quality food at reasonable prices. Highly recommended

Nice little pub catering for locals. Very good menu, in fact the nicest meal we ate in Ludlow. Would recommend the three pork dish and the steaks were very good too. Selection of ale was a bit limited, but what they had was good.

I've visited the wheatsheaf on more than the one occasion and it never disappoints. The staff are lovely, owner brilliant, food fantastic, even when I'm full I manage to squeeze in pudding as I don't want to miss out. So thank you for all the wonderful meals :-) we really appreciate the hard work and effort. Relaxing, warm and tasty, my cup of tea.

We stumbled across this pub by chance on Sunday after a very busy day. We had tried several other pubs in town but everywhere had stopped serving food. We decided to go for a walk around as we had our dog with us and suddenly we saw the Wheatsheaf. Stepping through the door, the pub looked beautifully presented and there was a great atmosphere. The staff couldnt have been friendlier or more helpful. They found us a table, it was dog friendly (gravy biscuits on hand) and we ordered the Sunday lunch. The beef was meltingly tender, a great selection of veg, perfect roast potatos and plenty of very tasty gravy, which is a must for my husband! We then had apple and redcurrant crumble with custard. All plentiful and packed with flavour. There were a couple of local people in the pub that were extremely friendly and chatty which added to the occasion. It was beautifully clean, and very well decorated/presented. We will definitely be back, it was one of those lovely finds, and it was so much nicer than the places we had tried first to get food, but that had finished for the day. Thanks Wheatsheaf Inn for a great Sunday pit stop!

Went for lunch. I had the Sunday roast - the meat was OK but the vegetables were a big let down (tiny bit of broccoli, cauliflower and one carrot that had a very odd aftertaste). Not very many, not a good selection/variety. The gravy was like treacle. Had far far better roasts elsewhere.

This pub is just outside of the old town walls the back of the old gate house,it is full of old world charm and warmth.The food is of a good standard and service is ok,but you go there for the ambiance which is unique.

We decided to wander down as its off the main area and although the poor fella was all alone and trying to run bar and kitchen we didnt mind the wait. It was such a pleasant pub lovely atmosphere.

we stayed one night. This is a lovely old pub and our room was fine with quirky levels and a view down the hill to the bridge. We enjoyed real ale and the bar meals were plentiful. Breakfast was excellent and staff friendly and welcoming.

Cosy pub situated under the remaining gate in the town walls. Quiet area with little parking but this pub is worth the walk. Food was excellent.

Stayed here overnight. We decided to eat in the pub after a wander around the town centre. Ludlow was gearing up for its food festival and remarkable the town centre was very quiet on the evening of our visit.

We have been here during Christmas / new years previously, and also had a carvery here too previously.
