If you are looking for a vegetarian restaurant (that also serves meat!), then the simple rustic style the Olive Branch offers simply cannot be beaten! It was recommended to me by a friend and although I am not a "veggie" decided to give it a try. The quality of food and customer service could not be faulted. More

We decided to try the Olive Branch Bistro last evening and were pleasantly surprised. The greeting was warm and welcoming - several Ludlow eateries could take lessons in customer service from this young lady! The menu was varied and we were spoilt for choice, eventually choosing the pork dish. In the meantime we enjoyed the complimentary bread and olives, yummy.... More

Bland, overpriced food in a school-dinner style canteen. Not impressed! Especially not recommended (if that is acceptable English!) is the ploughmans lunch. More

Only the best quality, local ingredients and produce are used in our dishes which are all produced in our own kitchen. No mass produced,bought in meals here. The ploughmans lunch provides excellent value for money as with all our meals,with locally baked wholegrain, crusty bread, homemade apple and beetroot chutney,best quality cheeses, and Olive Branch salad of your choice.

An excellent venue, offering some of the best food we have enjoyed for a long time. The staff were friendly, attentive and very keen to give good service. The food on offer was superb, an the venue does offer it's recipes for sale. Although not the smartest restaurant you will vist, it is clean & simple. Well worth a visit More

We had sampled the scones (the black currant ones are excellent) on a number of occasions so thought we would try a Saturday night. We were not disappointed. The food was very tasty, nice atmosphere and the staff were super - one young lady was particularly good at her job. All in all a very civilised evening in pleasant surroundings... More
