My wife and I booked a late mid-week trip to Ludlow. A bit of research prior to going narrowed down a few places to eat. As we are going touring in France later this year we decided to have a meal here. We managed to book a table and were more than impressed about the whole experience. The restaurant has... More

If you want fantastic food,ambience and service, then this is the place to eat ! It won't cost a fortune either, think 2 courses are about £19

I wasn't sure if I should go to the French Pantry or not. If I didn't like the food I was concerned that I would cop a salvo from the owners broadside when I wrote my TA review. I have to say; of all the owners responses I have read on TA, this particular owner delivers an articulate, seemingly accurate,... More

This lovely, intimate French restaurant is right in the heart of Ludlow so no need to drive! We were visiting Ludlow for the first time and so relied on Trip Advisor for choosing where to eat. I can't believe this place has any bad reviews and can only conclude that those who wrote them must just enjoy moaning! There was... More

Passing through Ludlow, the supposedly foodie centre of the country, so booked lunch here. Had Dariole of Cornish crab & saffron beurre blanc to start - consistency between a mousse and pâté, needs to be served with crusty bread to give a texture contrast, too rich and smooth otherwise. Had Gratin de Poisson to follow, mustard in fish pie? Would... More

A retro French restaurant in the heart of Ludlow's historic city centre, The French Pantry offers authentic provincial French cooking that will not break your budget . We have been eating there since TFP opened a few years ago and enjoy the intimate atmosphere (not the place to discuss anything confidential!) and friendly service. The food has always been good,...

Ludlow has a few expensive restaurants, one or two are very good, others are trading on being in Ludlow, and I think are poor value for what they offer. All could learn from the French Pantry. We were very lucky to get a table reservation for the Friday night we arrived in Ludlow. Having spotted the place on our last... More

My wife and I read some reviews and decided to go on a recent trip to Ludlow. We got a table on the day. All I can say is excellent. The food was sublime. The service was casual yet very professional. The ambiance and decor was comfortable. We tried to book for the following night as there was so much... More

Had lunch there today. Place is not special but food was way better than we expected. I had the chicken liver starter which was outstanding and could have come from a top flight kitchen. The pork casserole main was no less of a surprise. Presentation of the pork was not especially appealing and portion was way too big (!) but... More
