Bill's Kitchen Ludlow

Bill's Kitchen Ludlow is a friendly all-day café inside the Ludlow Assembly Rooms on Mill Street, right in the centre of town. Dogs are welcome inside, so you can settle in for breakfast, coffee and cake or a proper sit-down lunch without leaving anyone tied up outside. The menu runs from morning pastries and cooked breakfasts through to sandwiches, salads and hot mains at lunchtime.

Early suppers are served Thursday to Saturday evenings between 5:30 and 7:30pm. It's open Monday to Saturday from 8am to 4pm and Sunday from 9am to 3:30pm.

Whether you're refuelling after a morning round the castle or need a central pit stop before the next leg, Bill's makes a handy, dog-friendly base. The kind of place where your spaniel can supervise proceedings from under the table while you work your way through a pot of tea and a slice of something decent.
