The Dog Hangs Well, Ludlow

As described above, this is a Parlour Pub in a gracious Georgian townhouse that doubles as a publisher's office.Only open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 5-9, the discreet lamp above the street door informs the world that the pub is open.To the rear, the taproom, with handpumps, a bar and a couple of tables. Across the corridor is your Edwardian Great Grandmother's Drawing Room, with wingback chairs and time honoured bric a brac. Initially, I thought that the Dog would be like an East Kent micropub, but in fact it is somewhat otherworldly,creating, what to me , is a lovely place for a drink. One beer and a cider are sold on the handpumps at any one time,the weekend's choice being posted on Twitter. On my mid October visits I had beers from Milk Street and Milton, both kept well ,and a change from the usual beers to be had in Ludlow. In many ways, this is my ideal pub,at least when I want to relax and enjoy a contemplative pint.

Newly opened Parlour Pub ,open Thursday -Saturday from 5pm -9pm , one real ale on at a time from usually smaller local breweries along with a cider and wine and thats it .
