The Queens
About
The Queens, a family‑run freehold pub and restaurant nestled in the historic town of Ludlow, offers a warm and informal atmosphere set against the backdrop of charming stone streets and a vaulted‑ceiling dining room. The pub is renowned for its local ales and curated selection of real ales brewed within a 30‑mile radius. In the restaurant, chefs serve hearty, homemade dishes made from locally sourced ingredients—think roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, fish cakes, and an array of vegetarian options. Visitors can enjoy a relaxed meal by the garden deck or a quieter dinner amid the lofty interior. Beyond the food, The Queens boasts a unique architectural blend: a low‑beamed oak‑floor bar that seamlessly opens into a vaulted‑roof restaurant, creating an inviting “open‑plan” space that feels both cosy and spacious. The premises are dog friendly in the bar and garden areas, though the restaurant accepts only service dogs. For those looking to extend their stay, a small courtyard hosts three converted cottages—Upper, Lower, and The Stable—offering a tranquil retreat with modern comforts. Whether you’re looking for a friendly local pub for a pint, a hearty lunchtime meal, or a cozy bed and breakfast, The Queens delivers a genuine, community‑focused experience that showcases the culinary and cultural spirit of Ludlow.
