Restaurant & bar
South Shropshire is a fantastic area for locally
sourced, sustainable produce, especially with foodie Ludlow just 20
minutes away, and the kitchen makes good use of the network of
artisan local growers and suppliers.
For example, rare breed pork, lamb and beef are reared at
Strawberry Fields Farm in Dorrington, eggs come from Ed Hall and
salads and vegetables are grown at Little Batch Market Garden, both
just outside Bishops Castle. On the eclectic daily menu, which
combines pub classics with more imaginative dishes, you may find
smoked haddock and cheese brulee with homemade bread, chicken,
smoked bacon and leek pie with hand-cut chips, and marmalade bread
and butter pudding with vanilla custard.
Wash down with tip-top local ales, including two beers brewed at
the Six Bells and Three Tuns in the town or quaff decent wines
supplied by Tanners of Shrewsbury. Dine alfresco on warm days in
the elevated south-facing gardens, replete with vine-hung pergola,
raised fish ponds and beautiful views.
