Harp Lane Deli - Shropshire

Continuing our quest for a decent lunch, stopped at Harp Lane deli by chance. Choice of two different home made salads with lunch. Lunch choice, quiches, local ham, tartlets etc. Waitress very help about ingredients, my wife has a chilli allergy. Sat in the sun watching the busy local market.

During a mystery picnic, a clue led us to Harp Lane Deli. We decided to stop for tea and dessert. The service was exceptional, with a friendly and engaging lady serving us. I ordered Earl Grey tea and a fresh Portuguese tart hot out of the oven. The food and tea were both delicious as we enjoyed our treats outside overlooking the local produce market. Inside the deli, there was a variety of food items available for purchase, and I ended up taking more desserts home because they were so good. I would highly recommend this charming little deli to anyone.

Went for lunch today . Absolutely the worst lunch we’ve had in years. The Stilton tart was so stale, tasteless and dry is should have been thrown in the bin. The “ salad” which accompanied my awful tart consisted of a very vinegary carrot concoction and there was also a very mustardy thing what may have been grated turnip. The whole lot was disgusting. My partner had the same tart, and his was accompanied by a dollop of puy lentils plus a dollop of tasteless potatoes. These dishes cost £11.50 each! So in my opinion avoid this place . Highly over priced rubbish. Definitely not recommended.

We holiday in Shropshire annually and visit Ludlow frequently whilst there. Had coffee and cake at Harp Lane Deli previously and found it good. However last week we were terribly disappointed when having ordered coffee and a slice of cake, what we were served was coffee and half a slice of cake. Yes, that’s right, the cake at £4.50 a slice as display on the counter had very carefully been cut in half thus making it £9.00 per slice in real terms. Quite extraordinary.

A little gem of a place hidden in Ludlow. The food is delicious and a plentiful selection of drinks. The service is so so friendly and very attentive. I give credit to the manager Steve. What a lovely chap and I must say very dishy too!!!!! He should definitely be on the menu!!! Great place to try.
