The Green Cafe

A really unexpected gem! I'd passed this place the day prior, and must admit I wasn't drawn to it from the outside, thinking it was just a generic coffee stop with not much character and just not my cup of tea (no pun intended). However, I passed again today and thought I'd stop in for a quick coffee as I was freezing, and was totally surprised by it in every way. The staff were really friendly, helpful, accommodating (fitting me in between bookings) and also super patient (with my stream of questions as to whether their oat milk was gluten free, whether they did decaf and also gluten free food), and with a nice vibe inside, I thought the menu was definitely worth a perusal. Not the type of menu I was expecting at all, with a lot of unusual and extremely tempting dishes. I opted for the small dish of the chicken shawarma with a side of gf flatbread, and wow! My taste buds were not expecting those flavours at all, it was divine, and I made sure to enjoy each mouthful fully. What started out as a potential stop for a quick coffee turned out to be one of the most enjoyable of hours of my trip. Fab service from people who genuinely seemed to care paired with good coffee, delicious food and a very enjoyable book for company! Thank you Emma and the rest of the team for a thoroughly enjoyable lunch! 😇

Wow! Incredible flavourful food and the best service of the year. The waiters really cared about their customers. Fabulous experience - hoping to return as many times as possible. It’s great to see an embracing of eating according to the seasons. Second visit, just stopped off for the vegan breakfast. Fabulously tasty! Returned a year later (8/23) - continued excellent food and service. Love it.

Mill on the Green. Fantastic location for breakfast. Interesting menu with lots of locally sourced products, eat-in or takeaway available. Watch cold water swimmers take the plunge as you enjoy a flat white in the warm! We opted for eggs on toasted porridege bread instead of the Full English or American pancakes. Both looked amazing, though. Friendly and speedy service.

Set right on the river, in the old mill. This place is ideal to take in the beautiful surroundings of Ludlow. We opted for a full breakfast. It was presented perfectly and could tell the chef is very talented at what he does. They bring a great fushion of English and exotic foods to all their dishes. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite to our taste for that time of day, as I had been looking forward to a traditional Welsh breakfast. We did, however, really enjoy our experience. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was great. All the food is homemade, down to the tomato sauce. The ingredients were fresh and locally sourced. We will be going back for a lunch or evening meal to savour the food, as the rest of the menu did look excellent.
