Oh boy, isn’t it great to be able to eat out again? How we have missed our pubs, bars and cafés.
Over the past weekend, it was great to see Ludlow buzzing and families enjoying a meal and a drink outdoors in the spring sunshine. The public gardens were full of (socially distanced) picnickers, queues at both The Ludlow Kitchen and CSONS at the Green Café. And, a little pub crawl on Saturday evening saw no empty tables.
Cafes and restaurants are doing a grand job of accommodating everyone after a long absence. If you can, try to make the most of this glorious sunshine but remember to book ahead to avoid disappointment.
We are very aware that not all of our eateries are open yet (roll on 17 May), and when they do we’ll let you know! In the meantime, we’re celebrating those that have been able to open and serve you in their patios, beer gardens and on pavements.
Opening days and times may vary from week to week, so please check individual websites or social media accounts before visiting. You can find also find a complete list of Ludlow shops that have re-opened at the bottom of our A-Z Delivery list .

Pretty setting at the Boot at Orleton
We have an amazing choice of cafés and pubs outside but not far from Ludlow, all offering outdoor dining. Many have made an amazing effort to add marquees, shelter and warmth. Below are those on LGL’s radar:
