Mortimers

About

Nestled in the historic market town of Ludlow, Mortimers offers an intimate fine‑dining experience that fuses modern British and French cuisine with local Shropshire produce. Chef‑owner Wayne Smith brings a pedigree that spans Michelin‑starred kitchens across the UK, France and Italy, ensuring each dish tells a story of seasonal craftsmanship and meticulous sourcing. From the elegant private dining room to the charming garden terrace, guests enjoy exceptional food, personalized service, and a curated wine list crafted by our dedicated sommelier. The restaurant’s tasting menus—five‑course and seven‑course—are the highlight of any visit, featuring dishes such as seared scallops with corn and pancetta, roast lamb with ratatouille, and signature dukkah‑spiced dessert. The menu changes seasonally, reflecting the abundance of local produce, and can be tailored to dietary preferences including vegetarian, vegan and gluten‑free options. Pre‑booking is highly recommended, especially for weekend dinners or private celebrations. Mortimers prides itself on local ingredients, delivering fresh game, fruit and vegetables that support Shropshire’s suppliers. The restaurant also offers gift vouchers and a small boutique of fine wines and spirits. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply seeking an exceptional culinary experience, Mortimers promises warmth, sophistication and memorable flavours.
