On the square since 1987
Rare-breed meat and a proper cheese room
Rare-breed meat from farms we can name, cheeses that never saw a supermarket, and a deli counter that decides half of Ludlow's dinners. Hampers travel; the welcome doesn't.

How we buy
Named farms or nothing
Longhorn beef
From the Bury Farm herd, nine miles away — hung a full 28 days in our own ageing room.
The cheese wall
Forty-odd British and French cheeses, cut from the wheel, tasted before they're sold.
The deli counter
Pies, terrines and salads made in the back kitchen each morning. Recipes older than the staff.
