Warwick Kidd started his career as a part time pot washer at Ludlow's Michelin starred La Becasse under Head Chef Will Holland. His natural ability meant it wasn't long before he was starting to cook and his career soon blossomed. He moved away from Ludlow to gather experience which took him to France, where he cooked for 2 Michelin starred Jean-Luc Rabanel.

Zach Hermon's career started at the age of 15.

About the restaurant

Overlooking the historic Ludford bridge, just a few minutes walk from the town centre of Ludlow, the Charlton Arms is the epitome of a charming Pub. The kitchen, headed up by Krizstian Balogh, focusses on great British food and features a wealth of local produce. Fantastic pub classics feature strongly alongside accomplished dishes. Real Ales and local Ciders sit proudly amidst the eclectic selection of wines to suit every budget. To make the most of a visit to the Charlton, there are nine comfortable en-suite bedrooms. The breakfast menu, from Clun Valley Eggs, locally cured bacon and Ludlows' famed sausages to the finest smoked salmon has something for everyone. Independently run by Cedric and Amy Bosi, a warm welcome is guaranteed. Children are welcome and are provided with a children's menu. For the dog lovers amongst you, well behaved dogs are allowed in, and with the beautiful walks around Ludlow and its Whitcliffe Common, muddy boots are always a feature of the pub!

Very good attentive service throughout. We had coffee by the roaring open fire in very comfortable seating area. The bright and vibrant dining room was lovely and our meal was delicious. Three courses for lunch, as well as sandwich options too. I've frequently been for lunch and will always come back as it is good service, delicious food and in beautiful surroundings. Thank you!

Persuaded husband to take me for Sunday lunch to give me a break from cooking Our table was reserved and reception friendly. We were just going to have mains as elderly so not so big portions any more, but we saw small plate option on the menu which was perfect for us. So ordered starters, mushrooms and whitebait, which were very good. Big portion of whitebait. Mains were good and service very good and friendly. We will definitely return.

2nd visit to the lamb (first time was a Sunday roast) and because Sunday dinner so good I thought I’d try a week day. Went Saturday evening and absolutely amazing yet AGAIN. Can’t fault the food or service.
