| Well, I do actually have to agree with all others that this really is a superb establishment, apart from it's Customer Service !!!! My wife and I have visited Ludlow on numerous occasions.... most recently over the Bank Holiday weekend, and we always like to stay in (as our friends would call it) 'up market' establishments. We always enjoy the dining in Pubs & Restaurants local to Ludlow to eat fresh and exciting produce, and above all, we always make a number of visits to The Church to sample an absolutely outstanding selection of Real Ales. We just cannot praise this establishment more, apart from the Customer Service that it provides, it is far, far, far, below the standards it sets for its Beer and its Food offering !! Our main 'gripe' is that staff behind the bar seem more interested in chatting between themselves and with friends, doing Crossword Puzzles, or discussing Jokes off their mobile phones than looking after the owners customers. We have frequently had to wait for service, and not because they were too busy. My wife actually over heard what appeared to be local customers moaning about this problem also. I do feel quite bad having to make my point in this manner, however, the owners of this establishment need to take the negatives with the positives, and address the negatives very urgently. The standard of the beer and the service, are equally important, and if one of them is not up to scratch...we will take our future business elsewhere. janga515 - 26 Aug 2008 10:53 |
| Great pub - good food, good ale and in an excellent location by the Buttercross and, obviously, the Church. dpaajones - 23 Aug 2008 10:42 |
| Can't really add much more to previous reviews of this superb pub other than to urge people to try the pork pie special and wash it down with Wye Valley Bitter. It's a great place to stay too. mousefan - 30 Jul 2008 20:34 |
| Super pub with a fabulous atmosphere. Great choice of ales and cider. I questioned the taste of a pint and without question the landlord replaced it, and brought it to my table to make sure it was okay. You dont get the in wetherspoons!!!! Badger350 - 6 Jul 2008 17:51 |
| I can only really endorse what has been said previously about the Church Inn. It did take a little bit of finding in the labyrinth of alleyways off Ludlow’s Castle Square, but it is well worth the effort because it is a real gem and certainly deserves its high rating. The eight hand-pumps include a good selection of beers from the local Ludlow and Hobson Breweries. Hobson’s Mild seems to be extremely popular. I had to smile at what at first appears to be a smooth-flow dispenser at one end of the bar … but on closer inspection the label reads “Severn Trent Brewery – Pure Filtered H2O – ABV 0.0%” The food, like the beer at the Church, is excellent. I can highly recommend the Sausage Baguette where you can choose the filling from a menu of several award winning sausages made by the town’s Master Butchers. Pubs don’t come any better than the Church Inn …10/10 steve2905 - 25 May 2008 01:14 |
