Description

A local forest gives this 16C townhouse restaurant its name. It has plenty of character, courtesy of exposed stone, sloping floors and lovely wood panelling. Concise set menus offer classically rooted dishes with a personal touch. Make sure you have a dessert – the cherry Bakewell tart is delicious!

Review summary

Mortimers offers Modern British cuisine in Ludlow with generally high ratings. The food, particularly the seven-course tasting menu, is praised for its intense flavors and creative presentation of ingredients like duck and beetroot, though some guests found it average for the price. Service is widely commended for being professional, attentive, and friendly, with staff recognizing regular visitors; however, isolated complaints mention poor greeting protocols and staff appearance. The atmosphere is described as charming and traditional, featuring wooden paneling. Value perceptions vary significantly: while many feel the experience justifies the cost, others criticize high wine markups and question whether the food quality matches the expense.

Best for

Suitable for diners seeking refined modern British cuisine and a traditional elegant atmosphere, but those sensitive to value may want to manage expectations.
