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.

    What a lovely and surprising find. We were shown to out table straight away. Food was beautiful and excellent value for money. Although there several diners it wasn't noisy. Service was prompt without being intrusive.

    Our first time at the Clive Arms. The staff are amazing, very efficient, friendly and attentive but not pushy. The food was first rate. We found it a little pricey. We would go again, but not as often as we would like to. It is definitely worth a visit

    We really enjoyed our dinner at The Clive Arms, as I am gluten intolerant it was really good to see so many options on the menu that I could have. The food and drink were delicious and the service excellent.
