“Interesting and well-prepared local food”“now with a Middle Eastern influence” – is on the menu at this idyllic spot from the four Crouch brothers, aka the CSONS. “The pleasure of dining here is derived not just from the good food but also the location at Dirham Weir, beside the River Teme, with wildlife to watch and even the chance of spotting an otter”.

A “stunning location” near the Teme, and beneath the walls of Ludlow Castle, marries with “some lovely Lebanese dishes” (but also other globally inspired fare) at this “great casual place” run by the Crouch brothers. As of October 2021, they were again set to open for dinner on Friday and Saturday nights, expanding their current offering of breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
