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.

Went here for Sunday lunch and have no complaints. Food, service and ambience perfect. My companion enjoyed her vegan nut roast but would have welcomed a vegan desert on the menu.

First visit to The Clive, for Sunday lunch. One of us had the beef, the other the nut roast. All excellent, tasty and plentiful. The starters were great too. Everyone who served us was very helpful and pleasant. We'll definitely make a return visit.

The menu was interesting, the food delicious and beautifully presented. Portions a little small but made up for this with the flavours. Staff were friendly and helpful. Decor of restaurant was pleasing and comfortable. Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and would definitely go again.
