    Such a friendly welcoming place to eat. Amazing vfm if you choose the set menu . Lots of choice on the menu and the drinks were inexpensive. There are games on some of the tables and a warm open fire it’s like being at home. The food portion size was just right loved the cauliflower veloute soup and pear with ice cream and hot chocolate sauce. Great service lovely food great place to dine

    Visited the Church Inn for a Sunday roast. Glad I had booked as it appeared to be very popular. Good selection of beers on tap, friendly and efficient staff. The food came out promptly and perfectly cooked. Roast beef was served medium rare (wonderful!) and came with all the trimmings, roast potatoes, veg and the all important Yorkshire that proudly towered over the plate. We also ordered desserts - the vanilla créme brûlée with cookies in particular was a delight. It was difficult to choose which pub to have Sunday lunch at in Ludlow - Church Inn didn’t disappoint.

    We’ve visited The Church a few times while visiting Ludlow and have never been disappointed. This time, however, they excelled themselves! They’re offering a set menu from Monday to Thursday which is fantastic value - three courses for £20. Unbelievably good value, so much so that we’ve booked again for tonight.

    I’m disappointed. My husband’s mashed potatoes were cold. My daughter and I ordered the pasta with aubergine and tomato sauce, the pasta was over cooked and the sauce had an unpleasant smell. If I’m being totally honest it tasted like it was off. Very expensive for what is. Staff are friendly though and they do the best they can, but the food is so bad, we won’t be going back.
