"During our first visit to lunch (14/2/2023) I couldn't find a mistake at the service or at lunch. The wine selection was good and the food (steak for main and smoked trout rillette for entree) was excellent so delicious and well presented. The waiting staff was also attentive. During our second visit to lunch (we would like to come back so much) I was very disappointed. I ordered the chicken with potato daphinoise (or similar). The chicken itself was good, but the main reason I ordered this item was actually for the potato accompaniment. What I received was a half of a roast potato and a plate full of mist cauliflowers. Very disappointing. This disappointment was also aggravated by the fact that none of the waiting staff were looking for how we enjoy the meal and if everything was satisfactory or not. The disappointment was even worse, as our expectations for a repetition experience of the first time we have been denounced here were very high. The main reason for my bad review is that the article I received does not match the description of the article on the menu and no waiting personnel checked with us to see if we were satisfied with the meal."

"We reserved a table for 2 accompanied by our dog. A table in the bar area was allocated and a very short Bar Menu| was offered. The server recommended the Butcher 's Steak which I found tough if moderately tasty. My wife had fish anf chips which was a basic plate of food. We were quite early starting our meal and the bar ares was relatively quiet. However by 8pm it had filled-up quite significantly and noise levels went up, and service quality quickly worsened. Not an experience to be repeated."

"My partner and I often visit Ludlow and like to discover new coffee and lunch venues. We were a little hesitant when finding this lovely looking cafe/ bistro was empty, whilst elsewhere coffee shops seemed quite busy. The interior was inviting and the waitress friendly so we decided to try it out. As a first impression, I think the extractors in the kitchen could benefit from an overhaul , as the smell of stale fat was noticeably in the air. Also, as is a trend in coffee shops recently, the place was a little chilly. Hot chocolate and coffee was ordered to sort that! These came quickly and were ok. My partner ordered a bacon sandwich (crispy bacon please! and a tea cake for me. The latter was unavailable so a scone was second choice. Sadly on arrival the bacon was definately not crispy and had gelatinous fat and rind. The bread was thick white sliced toasting bread (supermarket cheap and not fresh. My scone came with cream and jam but the scone was like a brick. Definitely not today 's or yesterday 's even. On paying my partner was asked if everything was OK with our food. He politely replied about the scone being stale and the response was simply Oh. And that was that. On leaving the smell of stale fat was in our clothes .... I think that the poor ratings on here are more recent and the average 4 star rating has been bolstered by better reviews earned historically. I do hope this isn 't a downward trend for this little business and things can be pulled back."

"book in advance for a meal in bistro 7. we were not disappointed. restaurant fully booked. we had a starter main thing. too full to eat a dessert. I order the pate for the starter and must admit that I would have eaten it again, it was so delicious. my man arranges the deaf for the starter and he enjoyed it. our main thing was the bark-dryganoff and the steak. a good portion and delicious food. a beautiful atmosphere in the restaurant. our only negative point would be too many tables in the restaurant, as their very close to other diners, plus no handsanitiser in the bathroom. we recommend you eat in this restaurant"

"this excellent and very busy michelin and good food guide listed caffe right next to the teme in dinham, below the burg in ludlow, just a few meters from the most famous, michelin played herr underhills nothing to reduce the culinary call of the city. eating everything is careful and in perfect condition. a hugely light confusion about what was up and what was out was soon overcome and my melt in mouth gravadlax came with dill and senf dressing and first-class fresh roggenbrot. also the pasta of my companions looked good. I followed with panacotta and a pfirsich. the wine is delivered as carefully as eating and comes from “small family-run independent vineyards” and a modest asatical white domaine leon boesch, la cabane 2011 – rounded off the whole. the green cafe has 30 seats inside with 25 on the terrace outside, of course only usable if the weather is good, so they have to book. it is a midday restaurant and operates 90 minutes sessions. but on a good day as it was for our visit, it is a total joy. children were sure to paddle in flat water of the river and the mood, supported by the friendly, busy, but unraveled worker, was like a party. the green credentials of the place are underlined by the careless with which everything is done, including the sanation. it is worth mentioning this – we use edward bulmers paintt pots of paints with seat in pembridge, herefordshire. our new tables have been made from retrieved wood by steve hodges by leominster – how brilliant is this? a walk over the Dinham bridge, led to the flow nature path on the right and the bad teme, which we on the way to the charlton arms, where, on the terrace overlooking the river, we did not sink a few pints from hobson."
