   The restaurant, from the outside, looks like an unassuming building compared to some of the other places in Ludlow, but when you go through the front door, you are transformed into the past. The bar area has incredible wooden beams and doors which help build the atmosphere. There is an incredible piece of art of the castle which you can't help but look at. We had the Taster Menu and decided to pair each course with wine. It made the bill £150 a head but safe to it was well worth it. The highlights for us were the Sea Trout, Steak course and the Rhubarb dessert. The flavour across each course was superb and the wine paired perfectly. The New Zealand Sauv Blanc given with the Sea Trout and the Baron de Baussac with the Steak were both astonishing, I think we could easily have polished several bottles of them! The only problem, and I use that word very loosely, was the bread. We were given three different types of warm bread with the starters and informed they were for the whole meal. Obviously we had the bread throughout the meal, meaning the first one was lovely but by the last main course, it was cold. As far as problems go, it's not a big one (barely a small one!), maybe bring out the bread gradually through the meal? Overall, if you want to elevate your dining experience and go on an incredible flavour journey, you must pick Mortmers, it's awesome!

   What a lovely way to celebrate my wife's birthday. The food was excellent with nice sized portions for all course of the Tasting Menu. And a very nice little touch with the final course to mark the occasion. We'll be back!

   Strange evening, no atmosphere, we were the only diners booked in, food was only average considering the cost. Have dined here previously with family members, the quality was significantly better than this visit. Menu hasn't changed in over two years. They should have made contact to give option to cancel the booking. The staff (two very helpful ladies) are a big plus. Definitely need to change the menu and improve standards. Disappointed overall.

   Very welcoming staff, beautiful wood-panelled surroundings, gentle background music, superb food (tasting menu) and excellent paired wines. Look forward to a future visit!
