Another striking half-timbered building, one of many in Ludlow with a grade II-listed 17th century façade to a pub dating from around 1385.
Recently well reviewed by ROB and therefore unchanged, with a rather stark interior but at least with two rooms displaying some old unpainted beams, pale grey colour scheme, a fine brick fireplace with décor in the form of eclectic prints and zero customers on my Sunday evening visit at 8.30.
A cask selection amounted to two unused pumps then Doom, Wye Valley’s Butty Bach and HPA, thereafter Three Tuns Bishop’s Castle, very nice at an expensive £2.20 a half, served by an understandably bored barman.
This place is ok for a beer, but as mentioned, it’s not in Ludlow’s top echelon of quality hostelries.

ROB Camra left this review about Ye Olde Bull Ring Tavern

Originally two buildings, this has been broken through into a large pub. The black and white timbered outside looks impressive, but not so much inside where it's been modernised, although it's still a good looking space. Very food led during the day, but we called in on a Sunday night when food service stops at 4. Down to 4 handpumps on the bar now with mainly local beers plus Doom Bar. My pint of Wye Valley HPA was in good nick and Ms CAMRA says the wine was fine. A decent enough pub, but not in the top echelons in Ludlow which is blessed with several gems.

A two room pub with a decent looking bar area as you enter and slightly noisier lounge, with families bringing their children in for lunch. Still they did have 6 handpumps serving Shropshire Gold, Hobsons Best, Three Tuns XXX, Wye Valley HPA, Butty Bach and Doombar. I went for the Hobsons, which was in good shape.
