Kremlin Inn, Ludlowback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
One of Shropshire's best pubs, overlooking Herefordshire and Worcestershire below (it is after all Shropshire's highest pub). Just what a public house should be - a house open to the public serving decent beer and honest food. Staff and locals are a good bunch, and it's the sort of place you can turn up for a meal with the family, a few beers with mates or a quick sandwich and refreshment after a day's hiking in the hills. Very much "under the radar" in more than one sense.

Been 5 years since my last review of this place. No change basically: still a great pub in a great location. Beer choice is good too, with Hobsons, Three Tuns and other local ales always available. Friendly landlord and landlady. Opens lunchtimes Wed-Sun, and otherwise open in the evenings. Well priced and good food. You can park either by the main road in the village's car park (great views!) or drive up the lane to the pub and park there.

I can't believe there's been no reviews of this place for over two years. The beer is top notch, currently Hobsons (a local brewery) Best, Hobsons Mild and a regular guest beer. Owned and run by a friendly couple, Alan and Sue, who also serve excellent homemade food. As already mentioned, Shropshire's highest pub, so fantastic views. Very good quiz night on the first Wednesday of each month in aid of the Air Ambulance.

The Kremlin was the high spot (well, at 1400' or more above sea level it would be!) of a fortnight in and around Ludlow recently. The cider (Rich's) travels from Devon. The ales are brewed perhaps three miles away by Hobson's at Cleobury Mortimer, though they sometimes have a foreign import in the shape of Ludlow Gold, from six miles away. Try to time your visit to coincide with the monthly pensioners' lunch club on a Wednesday when Sue can spread her wings a bit in the kitchen, just because numbers are guaranteed. Never mind the spectacular location: forget the excellent ale. There's a food hero at work here, with almost everything home-made. It's good value, too. And if you thing �3.95 is a bit much for a slice of cheesecake, try it! It's pudding perfection: in fact I'm coming over all misty-eyed just remembering it!

Now in the hands of a pleasant couple who are gradually improving various aspects. Food and ale both excellent, and the location is well worth travelling for. It has great outside space including a play area for children. Accessible by the number 292 bus, as well.

Shropshire's highest pub.
Simply wonderful.

Friendly with good beer and cheap and cheerful food but very, very basic. Don't go expecting anything posh and you won't be disappointed.
Amazing views from the beer garden. A locals pub.
