    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.
