This is a must stop place to call in for all us real ale fan,s proper pub food large pie,s scotch egg,s and very good Ludlow beer i had a very good Pint of Hobson,s best 4.2% pity we saved this place to the last or we would have had much more than a couple Train to catch

A former Victorian goods shed is now home to the Ludlow Brewery. There is an attached 'pub' which also has a patio area outside. The interior is an open plan room with a high trussed roof, which has a balcony level and a small stage area where local youngies were holding an all day music festival at our visit. The decor is brick, cream and red and there a mix of sofas and settles. As Oggy says, the mash tun is on full view. The service was friendly and the place rammed out with the performers and their families. They do large pork pies, too! Beer; the Ludlow range, Best, Blonde, Gold, Black Knight, Stairway and Boiling Well - and all i tried were very good - but then i am a fan of Ludlow's beers. A definite must if in the area.

This is Ludlow Breweries Tap and visitor centre , set in a restored Victorian engine shed only a few feet from the main Shrewsbury - Hereford railway line . You enter past a small outdoor drinking area and into the large airy bar area with comfortable seating and low tables , the first thing you notice is off to the far left , a large gleaming Mash Tun and matching Copper standing proud in the corner , a low wall lined with brewery merchandise(T-Shirts etc) surrounds them , opposite is more merchandise , this time bottled beer , the bar is at the far end . There is a mezanine floor , the stairs to reach it are right by the entrance . Six handpulls on the bar with the full range of Ludlow brews , Best , Gold , Boiling Well , Stairwell and Black Knight all in excellent nick , the other handpull is given over to Westons - Henry Weston Cider , there is one keg tap with rather unusualy Wrexham Lager . Service was very good , well worth popping into if in the area , or just passing through as its right by the station .

Ludlow breweries on site bar , open to all Monday to Saturday , daytime only . Not Sundays
