The story
Set within a charming Georgian country house on the edge of the Shropshire Hills, Forelles is the fine-dining restaurant at Fishmore Hall Hotel in Ludlow. The restaurant’s modern cuisine has earned a Michelin recommendation, reflecting the kitchen’s skill with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients.
Guests describe the tasting menu as exceptional – one recent visitor noted that “the chef knocked it out of the park,” while the waiting staff were praised for their enthusiasm and knowledge of both food and wine. The menu changes with the seasons, but the emphasis remains on clean, contemporary flavours. Afternoon tea is also a highlight, served with a selection of homemade treats.
The dining room itself echoes the building’s 18th-century heritage, with elegant proportions and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The hotel’s location, just outside Ludlow – a town renowned for its food scene – makes Forelles a natural destination for those seeking refined, unpretentious cooking in a rural setting.
Whether you’re staying overnight or visiting for a special meal, Forelles delivers a consistently polished experience, rooted in its surroundings and driven by a clear commitment to quality.
