Dining@fishmore Hall - Ludlow

On the hottest day of the year, we sat down for lunch at Forelles, a restaurant located in a spacious winter garden. Despite the heat, the many open windows and doors kept us cool. This was our first visit to Forelles, spurred by glowing recommendations from friends. Surprisingly, we were the only patrons for most of our meal, perhaps due to the scorching 35-degree weather. We opted for the tasting menu, which featured 8 courses, including generous canapés and petit fours. Each dish was beautifully presented and expertly prepared, with flavors that were exceptional across the board. The service, although a bit slow given the lack of other diners, was friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be returning to Forelles in the future.

I highly recommend this pleasant hotel for its excellent afternoon tea that offers a refreshing twist on the traditional menu. The service is friendly and top-notch.

I recently booked a bistro lunch at this restaurant for my friend's 60th birthday and was disappointed by the room and ambiance, despite being in such a beautiful building. The Formica tables did not contribute to the overall look of the place. The service was extremely slow and I had to search for the waitress twice between courses. However, the food itself was excellent and we enjoyed a wonderful three-course menu. A coworker assisted me in helping my friend with Parkinson's in and out of the building, which was very helpful. Unfortunately, the dining experience was not enough to make us want to return, as the other aspects of the restaurant fell short. It is unlikely that we will be coming back.

Excellent and tasty food with excellent service. Drinks in the garden and fine views from the restaurant over the xsalopian countryside. Idnt want to add more for 120 characters what a waste of my time

The food and service were excellent as always. What I do object to is receiving an email the day before my visit having already received a reminder stating A response is required for you booking at Dining@FishmoreHall, and threatening to cancel the booking if I do not respond. I was out all day and happened to check my messages in the evening. The whole tone of the email is inappropriate and offputting, and would make me think twice about booking in the future. This is not okay.
