The Green Cafe - Shropshire

Our group of four visited Ludlow for their spring food festival without knowing what to expect. Feeling a bit greedy, we decided to try The Green Café, which was highly recommended by our B&B host. The café was charming with outdoor seating, but we chose to sit indoors due to the chilly weather. The space was small, seating about 25-30 people, and was always busy, so reservations are recommended. We shared 4 entrees: Gnocchi with Italian style pork sausage ragu and a green salad, a fantastic beet salad with avocado and caramelized onions, and Tagliatelle with asparagus, tomato, anchovy, chili, and green olive sauce. Everything was delicious. For dessert, we indulged in lemon polenta cake with Greek yogurt and pavlova, both light and tasty. The Green Café exceeded our expectations and set the tone for a fantastic food weekend in Ludlow. Despite the distance from London, I will definitely return and highly recommend this affordable and incredible restaurant to others.

The Green Cafe is situated in a beautiful location next to the River Teme, near Dinham Bridge and Ludlow Castle in the UK. During our visit, the sun was shining, and customers were enjoying snacks and drinks at the takeaway counter or relaxing on the patio. The small interior accommodates around 25 guests, so booking a table is recommended. The menu changes regularly to showcase seasonal ingredients. I ordered a delicious omelette with salad, accompanied by a refreshing rhubarb and apple drink. My wife tried the penne pasta with tomato sauce, which was slightly bitter. We also indulged in the lemon yoghurt polenta cake and the coffee cake, with mixed reviews - the polenta cake was light and flavorful, while the coffee cake was overly sweet. Overall, the restaurant offers some standout dishes in a picturesque setting next to the weir. We look forward to returning for lunch in the future.

I agree with the previous review: this restaurant may appear to be a regular cafe, but it is actually a hidden gem. The food is excellent, the staff is friendly, and the location is beautiful. Additionally, the prices are reasonable.

Terrific place. Don’t miss the amazing cinnamon buns!

Green room has gone a bit downhill since owner changed opening times its not as it use to be. Most of the nice staff have gone, sometimes you walk by and see produce for the cocktails outside in all weather until someone takes it in, who doesnt like tommys sneeze germs on your lime ‍.
