Wesleys Cafe in Shropshire

My wife and I visited Ludlow Tuesday 26th March, beautiful day, a few more shut down shops since our last visit, but a lovely stroll around the town was rewarded by the welcome and choice of Gluten Free food at the Wesleys Cafe, at a generour price.. Lovely volunteers helping, having a chat updating us on Ludlow activities. Well worth calling again on our next visit to Ludlow.

Wesley’s is part of the Methodist Church in Ludlow. It is manned by volunteers. The good is always excellent and at a price that is affordable for most people. Open between 10.00-14.00.

This little cafe is run and staffed by volunteers who clearly enjoy what they're doing and care about their customers. That's what sets it apart from the other cafes in town. The food is mostly homemade and the prices are reasonable.

This is a good place for a filling light-lunch (if that isn't too contradictory?). I had the delicious quiche which came with a small salad rather than just a garnish and crisps. The rest of the group had variety of sandwiches etc. which were all nicely presented, served with extras and with lots of suggestions from the staff. It was very good value for money and had a sign up saying they sourced their food locally. The staff are all volunteers it seems and are fun, lively and seem to get on well with each other. I am sure they will not be worried if I say that they are mostly from an age group who would normally be retired but who give the place a friendly atmosphere.

Popped in for a morning coffee. The staff are so friendly and welcoming it is a genuine pleasure to come here. Thoroughly recommend.

I came here with my wife for lunch while visiting Ludlow. Tea and coffee were served promptly, hot and delicious. The food took a little longer because it was heated (properly) in an oven not a microwave - which would have destroyed my delicious quiche. Good food friendly service - top notch.

Husband had the jacket potato with cheese. The potato was very small and the skin on the jacket was so over baked it couldn't be eaten. Only the inside could be consumed and the side salad was more of a garnish. All served up on a side plate rather than a dinner plate! When husband mentioned how overcooked the jacket was and how he could only eat the inside to one of the ladies there his complaint was dismissed and no apology given as if she couldn't care less..just said she'd mention it to the management. Would definitely not be recommending to anyone else!

Going to Wesleys you can always be assured of... Good food. Good service. Great people. What more can you ask form From a cup of tea to a lunch there is something for everyone..

We had a soup and sandwich lunch here in September. The soup was carrot and tomato and was utterly delicious. Such a happy place, thoroughly recommend it!

This is the place to meet friends in the middle of the day to have a chat and have coffee or tea and, if you like, a light lunch. It is not open on Sunday's nor later in the afternoon. The staff are all volunteers and very kind and friendly. The food is delicious as long as you like cake, soup, toasties, sandwiches and salads, nothing very heavy.

Wesleys is not 5* or cordon bleu but if you want a cheap and familiar lunch served in a Methodist Church this is the place. It's manned by volunteers and as they say on antique programmes - it is what it is. No pretensions just cheap (compared to everywhere else in Ludlow) simple food.

Wesley's is run by the churches of Ludlow and offers a very friendly welcome with extremely good but cheap food and drinks.

We regularly visit this cafe with my two year old. A fantastic place to eat on a budget, it's all run by the community and they are ever so welcoming. We always go for the soup and quiche of the day as they are so delicious. They cater for young children providing you with plastic cutlery and plates, nice fair trade juice cartons and home made healthy food. We recommend this place to just about anyone we can as it does not advertise much. We do have to mention, the service is not express fast food restaurant, but we always get a nice meal and a nice chat!

Friendly atmosphere in this cafe where you are served by cheerful people who clearly wish to please & make you feel welcome. good food at very reasonable prices. Great place to take young families too.

I have visited here frequently. When you consider that this place is run by volunteers. They make exceptional soup and quiches, lovely freshly made sandwiches, with fresh salads. Again the cakes are homemade by supporters and volunteers. The nice thing is they will try to do what ever you want. They make you so welcome and all at a fraction of the price of other outlets in Lidlow

Visit here regularly & have to say the food is great, the welcome marvellous with a listening ear if you want one, the surroundings clean & the price is the absolute bonus. Coffee & Tea cake for less than £2.... lunch, cake & drink for less than £6! Profits go to local "good causes" What's not to like? Would have to say that Wednesday is the Pick for me, but all the volunteers have their own personality with a cheery smile..... You should DEFINITELY GO

A lovely cafe in the Methodist church which is run by volunteers nice choice of cakes etc very reasonably priced and very clean

What a pleasant venue,all produce sourced locally, just make sure you get there early as it closes at 2.00pm.Wonderful friendly knowlegable staff, very reasonably priced menu, with Gluten Free on offer, situated in Broad Street, at the front of the beautiful Wesley Church, tastefully modified into the 21st Century, clean and bright -- a MUST on any visit to Ludlow.

Go here on a monday for a nice cup of tea with my friend,wonderful cup of tea and so happy a atmosphere. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly well worth a visit

Fantastic little café inside the Methodist chapel. Homemade soup was excellent. The place has a very happy ambience, we will definitely return.

I regularly meet friends at Wesley's in Ludlow. It is run by volunteers, serving delicious, homemade food, at a price that anyone can afford.All volunteers are endlessly patient and cheerful. There are even toys for the little ones to amuse themselves.Well done everyone!

This delightful cafe in the front of the Broad Street Methodist Church was a wonderful find. We popped in just to have a coffee and ended up staying for lunch. The welcome we received was second to none. Th cafe is run by volunteers whose priority is to look after their guests, to feed them second. Whilst we sat there, we noticed lots of single people coming in primarily for a chat. This is a church and the volunteers who run this business welcome everybody. We had homemade quiche and salad which was fresh and flavoursome. The place had a lovely "feel" about it, you felt special and part of a community. You were left on your own if you wanted and if you wanted to chat, that was available too. Completely unpretentious, a real find. We will be back.

Popped in for a quick lunch - bit of a secret amongst those in the know, Wesleys is part café part church. Opposite Lloyds bank in Broad Street. Staffed by volunteers (some happy, some not so.....) the café opens out into the beautiful Methodist church. The choice of food was excellent value, as always, well cooked and well presented. Tables limited to around 8, but fast turnaround and comfy waiting is provided. Proves you don't need to spend a fortune on decent food in Ludlow.

Very friendly welcome at Church cafe staffed by volunteers. Good quality excellent value home-made food. Quiche was the best I have ever experienced.

We stopped here to have a quick lunch, and thought it was excellent value. We both had quiche of the day, which was spinach and feta - lots of both, and with a really good crust. They came with a decent pile of freshly cut salad (not that horrible stuff that's brown at the edges like you so often get), coleslaw, and a few crisps. For £3.50 a pop, it was superb value. One cup of tea was as expected, though my coffee turned out to be instant rather than fresh. If it had cost me the same as at Costa I'd have balked, but it was so cheap I didn't even worry! The volunteers who staff the cafe were lovely and friendly, and the whole set-up is very quiet and calming. I'll be going back when I'm next in town.

Lovely venue and really helpful volunteers. Vety clean and tidy space. Very easy to find on Broard Street in Ludlow.Thank you for your support.

I have reviewed Wesley's before but just want to say I had yet again a lovely, friendly ,well cooked,baked meal here yesterday and want to encourage more people to seek it out.Run by the united Churches of Ludlow volunteers all profits go to local good causes. Fair Trade stuff for sale, a nice airy unpretentious little cafe, with real home-made soups, quiches and cakes, and locally sourced bread etcThe most expensive choice on the menu is a toasty with sald and a bowl of soup for £5 80 Baked taters at £3 80 filled is a real bargain too.I had a delicious mushroom, bacon, cheese and tomato quiche, with fresh salad followed by a delicious slab of Lemon Drizzle cake.Some days I have a toasted tea cake with butter and jam, and a pot of tea for £2. Tip well because it goes to the fund not the lovely volunteers OPEN 10 to 2pm CASH ONLY

Friendliness; quick service, simple food. Modern, with a view of the interior of the church (Methodist); a good atmosphere somehow; you can sit quietly with no noisy neighbours! Just a little walk down Broad Street.

We had a light lunch in this warm friendly cafe and found it really good value for money. All the food was home made, and they catered very well not only for adults, but also had a toddlers menu and toys to amuse them. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful, and when she said, 'do come again', we felt that she really meant it.

This is a cafe in a Methodist Church, run by volunteers from all the Churches in Ludlow, and profits go to support local groups. But that is not the reason you should go there. Great Home made (really home made!) quiches and soups at ridiculously low prices, in a bright and airy room, with bright and friendly service.

Its the ideal place for a cuppa while visiting Ludlow. The cakes are excellent, the coffee and tea are great, the volunteer staff are very friendly and welcoming and all the money goes to good causes.

Good cakes, soup and toasted sandwiches. Staffed by volunteers from all the different churches in Ludlow. Home cooked food made by some very dedicated and talented church members.

If you want to support a charity that provides a lot of money for local causes and also supplies its customers with a really warm and caring atmosphere as well as excellent cheap food, this is the place to go. It is ideally placed in the middle of Ludlow.

Went there after reading about it on the website, the cafe is very small and you may have to wait for a table to come free. The staff are all volunteers and very friendly and nothing was to much trouble. We thank the customers who made way for us to have their table. The home made food was delicious and the home made cakes looked delicious. the meal and pot of tea came to less than £5.

This place is one of the best places in Ludlow to get a quick snack be it a sandwich, salad, toasted sandwich, or simply a cup of coffee and cake. All the food is locally sourced and always the very best quality they can get.They do a nice variety of foods, from sandwiches to jacket potatoes (which are delicious!) all the way to a nice homemade warm scone or a tea-cake or piece of cake. They are good value for money and the money spent helps a good cause be it the church or other local organisations through their Wesleys Fund.My daughter loves their Toddler Lunch, where she gets a sandwich and some crisps for £1. Good value or what!The staff are always friendly and always there with an ear if you need a chat, they are good at listening and the venue is really calm and relaxing and such a good atmosphere. Highly recommended!

This is one of my favorite places to eat. The volunteers that work there are always friendly and really like to help. The food is always delicious and well presented. As soon as people see its in a church they turn away but I find it is actually one of the nicest places to go for a great tasting sandwich or jacket potato. Their coffee isnt bad and they have a choice of drinks for kids too. They do a toddler lunch for £1! I don't think I have actually found anywhere that does a child meal that cheap. You get 2 small sandwiches of dairylea or cheese a few plain crisps and salad if the kids like salad. The place is always clean. I absolutely love the cafe and the church here.
