A traditional 18th century pub with a friendly atmosphere. Spoiled somewhat on our visit by prominent background music. There are lodges for overnight guests.
Beer:
2-3 ales available; Wye Valley HPA; Greene King Olde Trip. The HPA and
Olde Trip were O.K., but rather bland and it appeared some
top-pressure was being used on the beer and/or a tight sparkler on the tap,
making it too smooth and lacking in character.
Food: Good selection
- interesting menu (see website)

Brewery tap for the local Hobson's Brewery. The pub is of the hard floor / scrubbed tables style of which I'm not particularly keen (Note: in the 2010 Good Beer Guide, it says there is a lounge with comfy seating). An open fire in the fireplace between the two sections of the bar is used during the winter, but tends to be a bit smoky.
Beer:
Hobson's beers: Full range. The quality has improved greatly since I
reviewed the pub in March 2010. Last time I visited (autumn 2010), I
rated the beers as
excellent.
Good to see the full range as well.
Food: Lunchtime meals only.

Attractive old coaching inn. Comfortable and friendly with a peaceful garden area at the back. Perfect for a quiet drink and/or a tasty meal.

excellent
28-11-09: Ludlow Boiling Well & Ludlow Gold. I'd not tried Ludlow
beers before, but they are superb. The Gold is really moorish.
16-1-10: Ludlow Gold & Wye Valley Butty Bach.
Excellent as ever!
27-3-10: Wye Valley
Shropshire Lass & Butty Bach (I think).
Excellent as usual.
Food: Excellent home-cooked food at a really good price; generous
portions. Good selection of bar meals at 2 for £10.
Recommended.

Really welcoming pub, plenty of places to sit. Real fire in the winter.
Beer: Enville Ale; Banks's
Bitter; Wye Valley Butty Bach (guest ale). All kept very well.
27/12/09:
Tried the Banks's - didn't like it
- will avoid it in future, but I don't think it is this pub's fault,
rather the brewery.
Food: Not tried but a very tempting aroma!

A quiet comfortable country pub in idyllic surroundings. One of the few pubs left that feels like you are in a friend's house having a social drink. The landlord, landlady and regulars are friendly and chatty. The pub is so far away from any main road that it feels like another world.
Beer: One or two ales
available, varying all the time and always very well-kept.
Food: Good quality basic pub food, cooked to order by the
landlord.

Attractive and comfortable pub with the emphasis on food rather than drink. Seems to be a Marston's pub, based on the beer choice.
Beer:
Banks's bitter, Jennings Cumberland Ale. (bland, cold & frothy)
Food:
Food is expensive and rather
pretentious for a pub.

Nineteenth century Inn. The bar/lounge is comfortable and traditional. Two or three ales available usually.
Beer:
Batham's Bitter
(excellent)
Food:
As you'll see from the website,
food is an important part of the pub but it doesn't encroach on the
drinking area.

The sole pub in the village following the closure of The Fox and Hounds which brewed it's own excellent beer. The Fighting Cocks dates from the early 19th century and is a friendly cosy country pub with a real fire in the winter and serving excellent ales and filling meals. Attached to the pub is a tiny corner grocers/greengrocers run by the pub.
Beer:
Hobsons Bitter & Twisted Spire; Purity Mad Goose; Ludlow Dark Knight.
All tried and all
excellent.
Food: Blackboard of
interesting food, prices mainly £8-£11 for main courses; specials at
about £6; children's meals at about £4.
11/12/10: I had a special: pork, mushroom & vegetable "pot" (like
a mixture between a stew and a soup) with garlic bread & potato wedges.
It was very tasty, but needed a spoon (which was provided).
