The Queens

Went for a drink at 21.00 on a Saturday night. Beer was probably best kept in Ludlow, however, poor staff attitude after enquiring whether could sit and drink in their empty restaurant given bar was full. Staff were negative verging on hostile. Customer service training needed here ! Won't eat here, albeit the menu looked good out of principle!

At the peak of Saturday night restaurant and bar custom the Manager and kitchen staff were incredibly accommodating and pleasant to fit us in. Wonderful sea bass and vegetables after very little wait, considering our lack of advance booking.

A friend of ours had a birthday and invited us to a lunch,we arrived at 12.30 and had looked at the menu on line.on being seated we where given a 2 course's for £12.50 menu. No mention of the menu on line.we ate of the £12.50 menu and off the lunch menu.although the food was very nice,where was the on line menu ?

What a find! We were initially only looking for an overnighter so this place did not show in the original search as it's a minimum of 2 nights. When our plans changed, and the original accommodation couldn't do the 2nd night, we found the Queens - and so glad we did! We visited Ludlow for the Food Festival - I won't be reviewing that but you really should go - It's amazing! We were met on our arrival and promptly taken to our room - The Lower Cottage. It was immaculately presented and extremely clean. First impressions were everything you'd hope for. We were then introduced to Jane the owner, she was brilliant. Really bubbly and enthusiastic and a hive of local knowledge down to where (and where not) to eat. The Queens itself is quite a busy pub so the garden can get a little noisy at times, however the double glazing is very efficient at masking 90% of any noise. The facilities were perfect for what we needed. We'd brought provisions for breakfast with us as it's not provided at the Queens, but that suited us as we were there for the foodie experience of Ludlow. The bed is comfortable, bathroom perfect and enough of a kitchenette to keep you fed and watered. Parking is offsite by the library. Free after 6pm and all day Sunday. £4.00 for the full day (8am-6pm) so very reasonable as we arrived after 6 on the Friday and left on the Sunday! Would I recommend the Queens - Absolutely. Would I stay again - Definitely. See you for the festival next year!

We stopped for lunch on our way to Chester. My husband ordered the Queens Salad with ham. It was EPIC. Lots of slices of thick cut home cooked ham - it was apparently delicious. I had a Brie and cranberry sandwich which was fantastic. Really good value for money. Friendly staff.

I stayed at the Queens for three months for work from March to April 2021. Jane was the most amazing host!! Incredibly lovely and thoughtful. I couldn’t have had a better experience. The room was warm and super comfortable, very quiet and the little kitchen area made it like a little home away from home. I couldn’t recommend it more if you’re in Ludlow!
