Ye Olde Bull Ring Tavern in Shropshire

Had a decent pub meal here with friendly service from the staff. The chips were on the plate and did not have to be extracted from some kind of container!

We enjoyed a family meal here whilst passing through Ludlow. We received a very warm welcome and was quickly shown to our seats. Lots of delicious meal options to choose from! I had the fish and chips which was fantastic. Other member's of our family agreed we'd return again when in Ludlow!

Last review (10 months ago) was very positive. Not this time! Lasagne still £15.95 but quality has greatly deteriorated. Advertised as with bechemel sauce, not true. Very greasy and we couldn't finish it. Random pieces of pasta in bolognese sauce, some mushroom! some minced beef and cheddar cheese on top. 2 waitresses asked if everything was alright. Twice said no and explained why. Each time they apologised but took no further action! (Lack of training?) We will not return and would not recommend.

Popped in for lunch and was very impressed. Staff were friendly, attentive and welcoming. Ordered both veg and meat lasagnes that came with a generous portion of fantastic homemade chips, plus salad and garlic bread. Sensibly priced and good quality pub food.

what a fabulous lunch , I had the sausage and mash , the mash was blue cheese and served with onion gravy, local sausage and fantastic veg , what a plate full on a drizzly day ! proper comfort food

Food was amazing freshly cooked 5 out of 5 Staff all happy and helpful Was a busy day for them all and they kept everyone happy Nice that they serve food till 4pm and evenings too Thank you so much

The food was excellent, the 2 young ladies that served us were very pleasant Great pub with a good selection of beer and wine, we enjoyed our visit and will definitely return

Proper pub with great food and beer. Very surprised at some of the reviews as we found all staff friendly and helpful. If there’s a better place to go for good value traditional pub grub and ales inLudlow, we didn’t find it

Teriible got two drinks for me and my partner, ast if food was still being served anser was yes, said would be down to our table ina bit to take the order sat there 15/20mins nothing, so decided to go to bar as walked past numerous times barstaff coming out for vapes etc so knew where we was, when i approched the bar heard the young lad say ask the kitchen we didnt know two people was looking at menu.... Lie, lad come back and come up with cock and bull sorry we went really busy sorry we forgot and kitchen is unfortunatly closed, and pointed me in another pubs direct ion which is just a generic marstons............ Absolutly apauling

Staff were welcoming and friendly. Excellent choices of food ,reasonably priced. Food was delicious and ample portion sizes ,it was piping hot. A very popular place 👌 to eat .l would recommend when you are paying a visit to ludlow call in and have a meal.

The food here is average but not value for money, small portions of meat on Sunday roast, I don’t mind expensive meals if i enjoy and are value for money. service was also quite chaotic, having to ask for things twice. Have since been advised there are much much better places to eat in Ludlow. My advice would be to look around and not go to the first place you come across like we did.

We ate here on a quiet evening. The decor is tired, the staff were nice and we liked the music. I had the homemade lasagne and it was very poor - dry and lacking in taste and really anything except rather gloopy lasagne sheets. Fortunately it was a small portion. It was served with loads of chips, enough garlic bread to share and a salad garnish. The wine was below average pub quality but drinkable. My partner had sausages which he said were excellent with a cheesey mash. Hence the three stars. If you go, drink the ale and avoid the lasagne

Went here for Sunday lunch with friends. The pub was very full and although we booked we ate in the bar on very small tables. We waited ages for the food and eventually the vegetables arrived followed some time after by the plates with the meat, potatoes and rock hard inedible yorkshire it was served cold and served on cold plates. We told a member of staff but the just grunted and walked off ! The plate of veg was now cold and barely enough for one little known 4 and the plates were so big the food looked lost and the table was so small it was hard for everything to fit on it. The only redeeming item was the roast beef, which was a really tasty thick slice. Certainly not worth the money, and I hate cold food!

This had to be the WORST dining experience we have ever had - 'FAWLTY TOWERS ESQ' . We booked a table for five very early in the week for Friday afternoon , when we arrived we were told the table we had specifically selected had accidentally been given to someone else ! After a 30 minute wait outside (wish we hadn't bothered) the table was finally ready. We ordered the meals , and waited at least 45 minutes for them , when they arrived the had forgotten one of the children's meals. My ludlow sausage and mash was just a bowl of slop ! and the sausages were 100% NOT ludlow sausage , the mash was just like packet SMASH ! Nearly all the diners were complaining about length of time waiting for meals , missing meals and other problems. The young servers were totally out of their depth and the chef obviously not up to the job and the prices were ridiculous (£ 75 in total for utter rubbish) we could have eaten in the Queens or other good pubs for the same price ! AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!

OMG!! I cannot stress enough just how amazing these people were and the food was absolutely delicious. We were licking the plates!!! 12 booked in and we pre-booked our main food. They had quality beer, nice ambience and pleasant, kind staff. Loved this pub, would highly recommend

Nearly 5 Stars - Great food, atmosphere, value & excellent service - But make sure you get what you order. - For example; Cheeseburger with bacon -> No bacon ! Sunday Beef Roast with Yorkshire pudding & new potatoes -> No Yorks Pud. & no New pots ! Otherwise great

Dinner, steak pie served on a hot plate, excellent. It was a quiet night but the service was great. I can recommend. Will visit again when I'm in the area.

My partner and I visited Ludlow on a chilly Saturday lunchtime in November, we trekked through the Market and side streets perusing the menus outside the various eateries, most looked more like evening fayre, expensive, fine-dining type offerings, as you would expect from the culinary capital of Shropshire. But, at the very end of our walk we stumbled upon Ye Olde Bull ring Tavern, a beautiful Black and White building, befitting of the Town. It was only 11:40am but we had both skipped breakfast and were very hungry, we were given menus and found a table in an area to the left of the main bar. The area was completely empty when we arrived but was completely full when we left just over an hour later. The Menu consisted of several Classic Pub staples, with an extended Burger section, the prices seemed very reasonable. I chose the Bacon Cheese Burger and upgraded my thick Cut Chips to Fries for £1, my partner chose the Ham, egg and Chips. Both meals filled the gap perfectly, they were tasty, well-sized and good value. I had a good Pint of Cruzcampo Lager and my partner had a Coffee, and the total bill was less than £35, absolutely no complaints here.

Very old and traditional tavern with highly rated food. I had the steak pie and vegetables which was excellent.pie was enormous and the vegetables were freshly cooked and not out of a freezer bag

Fabulous old pub,we had slow roasted pork and faggots meals and both could not be faulted absolutely delicious 😋.Staff were lovely and went out of their way for you ... Absolutely 5 star ⭐

Clearly a locals pub. One of the few places in town serving evening food on a Tuesday, which didn't also have and event on. Good choices of food, well cooked, and large portions. We were all happy with our choices of food and drinks. Only disappointed that there was a shortage of dessert options, and nothing left which we wanted. Would be very happy to return. Very pleasant, welcoming and hard working staff.

We ate here on both nights of our stay in Ludlow and could not fault either the food or the service. The menu is varied and choice good. Portion size was very good and the was food tasty and of good quality. Would highly recommend.

Very impressed standing outside wondering about an evening meal. Especially seeing ‘Try Shropshire Faggots’. So we went away, to specially return for an evening meal. Yep, I ordered a pint of local ale, very acceptable. Then the faggots, while my wife ordered a Red Thai curry. Full marks for presentation. Less so for the actual meals. It was OK. Acceptable. Though my wife’s comment was that she had a somewhat basic curry, but certainly was not Red Thai. The staff were helpful. The prices reasonably. Probably a place for locals to use for a quick meal. Rather than a place to use for a celebration.

Spot on with the food, it was most enjoyable. Bar staff are all friendly and efficient. All in all a lovely relaxed atmosphere. I would highly recommend a visit here if you are in Ludlow.

Sunday lunch delicious but only just warm not hot,had to ask for gravy as every other table did. The gravy was piping hot. Didn’t complain as a lady on another table did and her plate took an age to come back. We are on holiday and always eat here usually in the week and have Faggots but I’m dubious about going back in the week and having the faggots we always look forward to.

I ordered belly pork and my wife scamp. After ordering the table behind me complained about their belly pork so I was dubious, however when it arrived it was delicious. Pity I could not say the same about my wife's meal. She had to send it back as her chips were still frozen. When the meal returned they were still hard and some of the peas were still frozen. Not good value at £16.95, at that price you expect proper prepared chips not frozen.

Disappointed with our visit. Food took a long time to arrive and when it did the battered fish and battered onion rings were soggy, chewy and rubbery. The mushy peas resembled that of dried out plasticine. Fish cost £15 and was really disappointed. It basically resembled a slightly larger fish finger. I was offered a replacement to be fair by the guy who was serving tables, however as I'd waited over half an hour for the food and was starving I'd already eaten it hence why I didn't ask for a refund.

My brother and I went here for lunch, on the spur of the moment, and thoroughly enjoyed the food served, the service and the general cleanliness and ambience of this historical pub/restaurant. The food, including the vegetarian dish (Halloumi Burger with side salad, onion rings...

Having read reviews decided to give it a go, if I had been on my own I would have walked straight out, carpet was really worn and dirty, toilets were debatable, cutlery also dirty on 2 out of 4, so had it changed, we did...

Great value food in a historic building very central in Ludlow . Staff helpful and welcoming . The menu is good pub grub and our choices steak pie and sausage and mash were well priced nicely cooked with good selection of veg and huge portions....

Very nice pub, but only one real ale available on hand pull. Plenty of lagers (if you like that sort of thing). We had a lunchtime meal and was really impressed with the chicken pie, mash, greens & gravy. As seems normal - it’s not...

Popped in for meal whilst visiting. Staff very pleasant, could not fault any of them. Table was filthy, smeary and sticky, did not bode well for our meal, but we were in a hurry so could not go anywhere else. Husbands burger yes looked o.k....

Popped in today for lunch. I had the sausage and red onion baguette which was served with chips and a side salad. The baguette was fabulous, I believe they get them from the bakery in the town. The sausage was meaty and tasty. Good portion...

Booked to eat here for last night whilst passing through town. The table was ready on arrival, and the service was quick. The food was well cooked and tasty and priced at a fair rate. Would visit again in the future. Would recommend the lamb...

Went for early evening dinner (food served from 6pm). Friendly and accommodating staff. Ordered chicken pie which was a huge portion and tasted great. Would recommend pie and the beef burger

Lovely old pub, very friendly and accommodating staff, good food at a reasonable price, most definitely worth a visit

Ludlow is a lovely market town, and is building a good reputation for food and drink. However, Ye Olde Bull Ring Tavern is letting the town down when it comes to customer service. We ordered and paid for our food - one Cheese & Bacon...

Booked table for 1pm for roast dinner. Went to bar to pay for food and drinks then sat down and waited for our food (1.15pm at this point) we were the only table that was waiting for food at the time. 20 minutes went by...

A classic picturesque old pub with great beers, excellent food, and brilliant service. Wandered in by chance and enjoyed it so much we came back the next night.

Sunday lunch 1 o'clock and the restaurant was empty. What more do I need to say..... No one came to give us a menu and when we asked we were told pork or beef that's it. The broccoli was overcooked mush, the roast potatoes were...

Came to Ludlow with my partner and stumbled upon this hidden gem, Ye Old Bullring Tavern. A dog friendly pub with a rustic Tudor style to the pub. A big thank you to the barman Matt, who made us feel welcome and was so helpful...

We called in for dinner as we were driving through. The town seemed quiet due to really poor weather. Our expectations weren't very high - but the service was attentive, the beer was well kept and the food was excellent and tasty. We both choose...

Good value pub meal in an historic venue. Good service, very attentive. Food wasn't the freshest or most imaginative, but we were full up with 3 courses each for a very fair bill 🙂

Obviously Ludlow isn't exactly heaving on a Tuesday night, but I had a nice pint and the bar staff were very friendly, telling me where I could go to watch the football.

Visiting Ludlow with 5 friends and decided to have lunch here. The service was excellent and the food was exceptionally good! I had the nut roast dinner and would highly recommend it! The gravy was delicious. My friend said it was the best lasagne she’s had in her entire life! Very reasonably priced too… worth a visit!

Attracted by the Friday Fish Special of 2 dishes for £14 we thought we would give this pub a tryout. Very friendly staff, but our table felt a bit sticky and dirty. We enjoyed our glass of wine but were a little disappointed in the batter on our fish. Although the fish itself was cooked perfectly the batter could definitely have been much crispier. The portion of chips could also have been a little larger. However, we both commented on how tasty the tartare sauce was and also the dressing on the little serving of salad.

As soon as we came in we where welcomed with our dog. We asked about vegan choices and where told straight away what they had. Food was lovely and staff very attentive. Definitely come again.

We hadnt planned to eat out but in Ludlow and felt like a roast dinner, we called in here the staff were great very quick and on the ball , we ordered 4 roast dinners they were lovely, tasty meat, massive yorkshire pud, and nice roasties and loads of veg (way too much especially swede not a fan, would be better mashed thank in chunks), the pub could do with refreshing, have a look at the Church (very nice), but its spacious we would come again but portion size needs reducing we were too full for puddings!

The place was fine. Just disappointed on the menu with no Roast Turkey on it. I ended up having a burger and chips. It was ok, but I thought something festive would be on the menu.

Looking for a quick lunch en route, found a cheery welcome and ready service. Excellent burgers, well presented, set us up for the day. Not overpriced. Would definitely return.

If you want some decent food in Ludlow this is not the place. Ambiance was fine, staff were very good but the food is terrible - especially for quite high prices.

What more can I say - pub was busy with locals, always a good sign. Roast beef , Yorkshire pud and accompanying veg were plentiful and very tasty. Apple crumble not too sweet and good portion size too. Very much enjoyed. 😁

Went for lunch, we both had a sandwich option with chips and side salad. Sandwiches arrived on plain white bread, cheese was processed slices, small amount of not chunky chips and lacklustre salad. You would probably get better sandwiches to takeaway from supermarkets.

Went in before they started serving food to look at menu. Fancied the steak and kidney pie. I asked if the pies were homemade or bought in. “Homemade” was the reply. We returned later when food was being served. I said to the waitress “I’m told your pies are homemade.” “Yes they are” she answered. When the pies came they looked very “chip shoppish.” Indeed the pastry was soggy and there was more gravy than meat. When the bill came I asked if the pies were made on the premises. “No we get them from the local butchers.” Non plussed with the whole meal. No evidence is culinary skills except the use of a microwave. I won’t go there again.

Just had an amazing Sunday lunch here. Could not fault a thing, the roast beef was amazing and came with an abundance of well cooked hot vegetables and a huge perfect Yorks pud with gravy. All for £12 and the desserts were just £3 extra if you could manage one! The service was excellent considering they were very busy. Will be returning soon

We had a lovely meal here. Good choice of food, service quick for main meal, which was delicious and good value for money. It is a very popular place to eat. The pub got quite hot as it got busier so we moved outside. Staff were very nice and chatty. Excellent value for money.

Fell upon this little gem of a pub, had a great selection of beers, wine and good old fashioned pub grub. Had great service and the staff are a credit to the place. PS best steak and kidney pie ever!! That’s a massive compliment as my husband is a pie connoisseur from Yorkshire!! Thank you to the team! We would definitely recommend a visit when in Ludlow.

We had no problems, we were seated and served quickly and efficiently. The food was well cooked the staff pleasant, it would be hard to find anything to complain about. Lovely old Public house.

This could very well be the worst run pun I've ever frequented. It was so bad it was almost entertaining! Constant stream of customers coming to the bar reporting eternal waits, appalling food and my personal favourite, a surly young waitress effing and blinding on being told that a colleague had reported sick!! Sausage sandwich would have been better described as an onion relish sandwich with a hint of banger!! I can only assume that the owner is set on some bizarre form of financial self destruct! Staff chatting with friends whilst customers waited at the bar!! For the sake of your sanity and digestion...avoid at all costs!!

Just finished a lovely meal while visiting the area. From entering the establishment met by a lovely lady who took us to our table. Plenty of choice in food with something for vegetarians like myself I opted for the tartlet which was very tasty and accompanied by salad and chips. My husband had the meat lasagna with salad, chips and garlic bread again very tasty. Good selection of both alcohol and non alcoholic beverages. Would definitely recommend a visit place was spotless clean.

Walked in for lunch whilst visiting Ludlow. Good choice of food, reasonably priced. Wanted the Fagots but they had run out so had sausage and mash instead. Lovely sausages, don't know if they are local ones. Quite busy, think we arrived at just the right time to get a table.Funnily enough, visited Ludlow a week later, walked in to ask if they had a table and was told they were closed for food and would be open again at 6. Maybe we were just lucky on our first visit.

After been booked in for several months,we got a phone call and given an hours warning that they wouldn't be able to sit me and my wife. Had to scramble to find somewhere else. Luckily the church Inn got us in.

Booked with group of friends on a Monday night. The pub was very busy which speaks volumes. Excellent pub food washed down with a couple of pints of excellent Butty Bach beer. Good choice and quality pub food served by the lovely Kell. Nothing not to like

Walked in hoping for a Sunday roast at 3pm and we were greeted by the friendly bar man and shown to a table he chatted us through the options on the menu. Starters of pate and followed with two roast beef lunches which were nicely presented with huge homemade Yorkshire puddings… a selection of lots of vegetables and tasty gravy! We are now ready for apple and berry crumble with ice cream… we will definitely be back!

We found this Pub while walking around Ludlow and we looked at the meals other people were having and they looked good so we booked in and had a few meals there and a couple of drinks as well the staff were very friendly and attentive and could not do enough for you making our stay memorable I had Beer battered Fish and chips and Cath my wife had homemade Lasagne which she enjoyed, the other meals looked good and well presented .

Sunday lunch, lovely meal and great friendly service. We had beef and the turkey, my son had sausage and homemade chips! Delicious!

Popped in here for lunch during our visit to the town.Place was okay with little atmosphere for a old place.Staff where nice and friendly but the food we had was a little disappointing to what the menu described.All in all a alright pub.

Excellent food. Lamb dinner, fights peas and chips followed by apple crumble and salted caramel roulade. Very reasonably priced and excellent service.

WE stopped for a Saturday evening meal and were very happy with the meal. The pub is very nice inside with old features in an old building. The menu was large enough and the food was well cooked and very tasty. Would go again.

Had Sunday lunch here, with three of and a dog in the party. We sat in the small ack yard which was nice and although actually backing onto the small street behind the Inn, we only saw one vehicle which was dleivering supplies to the Inn. We took advantage of the two course deal with the Roast dinners we had, we all had the Roast beef which was of a good size and very nice. Thre was also a side dish of cauliflower cheese which was freshly grilled as it was very hot!.The deserts on the page that were part of the two course deal were not available but we were able to choose from the main desert page instead which gae us more choice, The only small issue we had was the time it took for the desserts to come although we had rdered them when we ordered the main courses, Had to go and ask to speed them up. Other than that all was great. The staff were friendly and attentive and we felt the meal, particularly with the two course (or three course) options were of good value.Definately would go again if in Ludlow.

On arrival we received a lovely warm welcome and everyone was so chatty and friendly. The food was excellent with huge portions The faggots are definitely worth a try and the chips and mash are amazing. Topped of with great real ale and delicious coffee. Thoroughly recommended

Dropped in for lunch and was quite impressed with the quality of food. However, what the place needs is a system that works. The staff were friendly enough, but disorganised - always moving at top speed. Beers were good but could do with being a bit cooler and often left on the bar while waiting to be sent to the tables. Lots of potential in this pub / restaurant. Just needs managing.

Asked to sit at a table outside at the front of the pub. The barmaid asked us to check in on the NHS app, which we did, she would take the order after she'd dealt with the next table. 15 mins still no order. I ventured into the pub and spoke to a barman who came outside very apologetic and took our order. Drinks arrived and everything was good, great spot for people watching. Nice drinks and good value. Whilst we were sat there, the same thing happened to the people at the next table. Obviously and issue associated with the covid restrictions but needs to be addressed.

Excellent frontage but maybe inside needs a little attention. Perfectly clean and laid out as per specifications of Covid procedures. Friendly staff and great menu choices. We had chicken & mushroom pie and fish & chips, both large portions, hot and very tasty. Certainly visit again and would recommend.

First weekend of freedom following release from lockdown 2, so off to do xmas shopping. It was great to find the Bull ring open as we've eaten here many times. Not sure if it was the taste of freedom but the food & beer tasted better than usual. I had the chicken burger, real fillets of chicken, lightly battered, with real chips. My wife had the veg lasagne, really tasty. Great food, value, location & a happy xmas shopper.

We visited Ludlow for the first time and called in to Ye Olde Bull Ring Tavern for lunch. The building looks fantastic from the outside although slightly disappointing inside, it was perfectly clean and laid out well but didn't really do the outside of the historical pub justice with the rather plain decoration.The service was really good, very friendly staff and accommodating when we wanted something not on the menu. I can thoroughly recommend the Shropshire faggots and the chips were lovely, our only very slight issue with the food was that the fried eggs were a tad undercooked and had some runny white around the yoke (which may just be a personal preference). Local ale was very nice too.Overall we were very happy with our visit, and perfectly safe with the service and cleanliness during Covid. I feel for them having to close for 4 weeks now with the new lockdown in England but would go back again of we visit Ludlow again.

In Ludlow last week for a half day look round, we found ourselves a bit peckish mid afternoon, so popped in Y O B R T for a quick snack - and we're glad we did!Covid regulations not withstanding we were made to feel welcome and safe, our waitress even showed us how to use our Covid smartphone Track & Trace app!We had buffalo wings and pate to share along with a glass of wine and a fruit juice. Service was prompt and friendly, and the food was fine.I paid £22.50 (inc a tip) reasonable value, and we'd be happy to visit again.

Visited twice in our 3 night stay in Ludlow, once for a drink and the second time to eat in the restaurant. Staff were very welcoming and there was a nice warm feel to the pub. The food was excellent. Portions are generous and feature quite a lot of fine local produce from the surrounding area. Prices are very reasonable. Well worth a visit and would definitely return on our next visit to Ludlow. We visited during time when covid controls were in place and pub and restaurant were extremely well organised to cater for current circumstances.

Had a lovely lunch here good service and very tasty food outside tables out front for drinking only beer garden. Good choice on menu and drinks no problems at all fast efficient service.

This was only place we could get in, that was obviously for a reason. Menu outdated, food was cold and uninspiring. Place could and should be so much better. Serving food from the 80's, should have taken heed from other reviews

Staff were very attentive and the place was very busy as it seemed to be the only place open in Ludlow in a Monday. Unfortunately the place is knocking out basic pub grub from the 1980s and things have moved on, but needs must on a Monday in Ludlow

Dog friendly. Staff amazing. Toilet up and down a variety of steps. Food OK. The Cauliflower and blue cheese soup wow.

Made an unexpected visit to Ludlow, it was very busy and this was our third choice. Glad it was as we had a lovely lunch. Nothing to over the top, tuna baguette and ham baguette. Accompanied by chips and salad. Really good and good value, staff friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back for a more substantial meal. Good precautions in place for Covid. On a separate note just watch the step down 8n ladies loo, although it was signed on door I still missed it!!!

Dined here last night and would rate this one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Steak was cooked to perfection medium rare, portions were huge and service was warm, welcoming and friendly. Toilets were clean with lockable doors, soap and hot water. My burger and chips was juicy and tasty. Sadly we had no room for desert. Thanks to all staff for a lovely evening. Would highly recommend.

Great food, very welcoming, we were a family of 4 and 5 and didn't feel like we were lepers when we entered the pub! Food lovely,thanks

We arrived at five to twelve and we suspected lunch might be good as every table in the downstairs restaurant was occupied by quarter past. We were not disappointed.Friendly, attentive staff served great food. My wife’s lasagne was very nice, and my Inferno burger was great. All hot and freshly cooked with a homemade look.Recommended.

Booked a table based on this site's review. Quick drinks service, but then they seemed to forget us . Food was ok but nothing special

Hadn't booked but called in for dinner on our first night in Ludlow. Excellent service and food, although apricot crumble turned out to be apple, but who cares, crumble is crumble nice in any form !

Staying in Ludlow for the weekend, so made a beeline for this pub as they do two fish and chip meals for £12 on a Friday.The food was delicious, the only drawback was the "chips" were actually fries but lovely fish cooked in beer batter.Good selection of ales as well and very nice staff and surroundings.

We had a few days break just outside Ludlow and decided to take a look around the town. And what a beautiful place it is . We lost track of time and wanted something to eat and a good pint we settled on the ye old bull has it was the closest to us we was unsure we would get served as it was 14.50 and the kitchen closed at 15.00 we signed in while the lady went to ask and to our surprise they said yes know I was not expecting much as we were late but what service and the food was just amazing Kelly who looked after us made us feel like a regular would highly recommend thank you we hope to see you again soon and big thank you to Kelly

We came for Sunday lunch, we had to que at the door then we were shown how to do the track and trace however this didn't work so we was given a peice of paper to write our details down. We were shown to our table with menus and the waiter told us 2minutes and she'd be back to take our order. After 25 minutes she came and took the order off another table and continued to ignore us. After 30 minutes with no drinks or even an order taken we decided to leave. The waiter saw us leaving and said sorry and rushed off. She didn't even try to make us stay. Very gutting as menu was very good and it was our first time in ludlow. This would stop us making a return to this pub. More staff needed

I called in for a nite cap whilst staying in Ludlow. I was surprised to see how busy it still was at nearing closing time. The pub gave the impression of being very clean, considering it was nearly the end of service. The bartender was friendly and knew what they were doing when it came to serving drinks in the correct manner.Overall a pleasant visit, and yes I would return.

Clean pub toilets clean. Plenty of room and atmospheric pub too. I had a cheese and ham panini which was hot as were the chips. Wife had a starter of king prawns with a side order of chips. The prawns were were very tasty with a crispy coating chips and plates were hot. Nicely presented quickly by friendly staff.

Had walked past this place a few times over the preceding days and was looking forward to seeing inside but was disappointed when we stopped off for a beer on the way back to the hotel. We decided to give it a try for food and I must say, it was lovely. Couldn’t fault it at all. Just a shame they haven’t made to most of the interior but don’t let that put you off!

The Bull has a great classic pub grub menu to choose from. We went for homemade lasagne a whopping portion that came with chips (golden and crisp) garlic bread (half a baguette bit underdone/soft but not really necessary anyway as the portion was so big!) and a fresh salad. The lasagne itself was delicious, a cheesy top and rich tomato sauce obviously homemade which is good, it was very enjoyable. My husband ordered the chicken burger and the batter on the chicken was amazing, like something from the chip shop crunchy and tasty. We were both very full and satisfied with our meal and the staff on the bar were chatty and friendly. I would recommend visiting for a cheap cheerful and delicious lunch.

Lunch with friends. Service was ok. Food hit the spot. Nothing special but cooked well and all hot. Only complaint was that we were all very cold. There did not seem to be any heating on.

Excellent meal,super friendly lady behind the bar! Will certainly be back! Wonderful start to a great evening out in Ludlow!

Stayed up in beautiful Ludlow on Boxing Day and had lunch in the Tavern of Beef Stew with plenty of veg and it was really tasty and great value for money. Good decent NZ Sav Blanc too. Our table was a little messy when we sat down but was immediately cleaned and reset for us and overall the service was excellent. I can heartily recommend this pub for good value pub grub and a friendly atmosphere. Top Marks!

We came for Sunday lunch with our baby and two friends, it's such a bargain for the food you get! I had pork and my partner had beef. Both the meats were moist and super tasty. I've often had roasts that are dry but this topped many I've had at other pubs and for a better price! Massive yorkshire puddings and a great selection of veg which they bring out separately to your main plate which personally i appriciate as I don't eat much veg. I was absolutely stuffed afterwards and chef Lou is a gem. 100% recommend, great atmosphere and service as well. Thank you all at the tav. Will be making it a regular stop when in Ludlow.

Stopped her for a quick drink and to shelter from the rain and cold. Ended up staying for food as well. Service was friendly and attentive. Portions were huge and food really tasty - ribs fell apart. Beer was good too! High chairs for babies and lots of space for prams etc.
