I have to agree with others here, the pub has definitely taken a turn for the worst. The place is a mess, and looking run down (the toilets are terrible!).
As for beer, a poor imitation of what used to be here. Wye Valley, Ludlow and Hobsons all very average.
Service was poor, with staff blind to some customers over others. Furthermore, some of whom would not have been served in better establishments in there intoxicated state!
Doubt I'll visit here again in a rush.
The Church Inn used to be such a pleasant place to visit, with good beer, surroundings and service.
Now you find what's becoming a grotty back street pub, looking very worn and in need of some serious TLC.
I sadly have to agree with others here and locally, the Church is going down the pan. Service is very indifferent, sometimes poor, with little if no management.
Groups of very drunk raucous individuals who appeared incapable of even getting to the bar spoit our last visit, as did the very average pint of Ludlow Boiling Well and Hobsons Town Crier.
Afraid we wouldn't recommend anymore, and will be looking elsewhere in Ludlow.

Pub is split into four rooms. On one side is the "dining" lounge on the other, the ever popular front bar leading to the central characterful snug and the extended timber framed glass sided dining room.
Decent service. Also doggy friendly!

Here and the Ludlow Brewery are becoming the two places in town for real ale.
Three beers (proudly promoted as all local) and really good. We tried the Hobsons Old Prickly first, and would say it was the best we'd had in Ludlow. We decided to also try the Ludlow Boiling Well, and again were impressed. Really well kept beer.
Service was friendly and it appears someone here is making an effort with the beer.
Bar is clean, tidy and comfortable. Service the evening was good - friendly and informative.
Three ales tried - Ludlow Best, Ludlow Boiling Well and Hobsons Old Prickly. ALL served at good temp, excellent clarity, and in good condition.
Very impressed. Definitely recommend.
