There are a wide variety of restaurants in Ludlow, but Clive Arms stands out if you want traditional British food that makes the most of Ludlow’s local ingredients.

Our food is inspired by the seasonal produce of Shropshire and our surrounding counties. Many of our ingredients are handmade at Ludlow Farmshop. Our meat is reared in the fields surrounding us on the Earl of Plymouth’s Oakly Park Estate and is prepared by the award winning butchers at Ludlow Farmshop

Please note, we do add a 12.5% discretionary service charge onto the bill for groups of six or more.

    Excellent Saturday lunch at The Clive. Definitely one of the best places to eat in the Ludlow area. Friendly service at just the right pace, good wine list, nice environment and menu has a good combination of traditional classics like haddock and chips to more unusual dishes such as miso roasted hispi cabbage or spiced mackerel with bombay potato salad. Would definitely recommend.

    Lovely atmosphere in the bar, roaring fire on a cold day. Food and service top quality. They had had a flood which meant that draught ales were not available but a good selection of bottled beers was on offer.

    The food was well presented and tasted good. The service was a little disorganised, culminating in ordering coffee and it not arriving. That said, we would go back.
