What customers say?

“ Wow, we really enjoyed the Ledbury Big Breakfast at Shell House Kitchen. Great Atmosphere, attentive staff, fabulous coffee and wonderful food. This has become our regular weekend brunch place and always has a really lovely selection of homemade cakes & tasty specials all served in a warm relaxed atmosphere. Best to book a table as it does get busy. ”

The atmosphere was warm and relaxed, and the team were friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Every dish looked beautiful and tasted even better — you can tell there’s real passion behind everything they do. Whether you’re there for a proper brunch, a great coffee, or something a bit special, this place delivers. Can’t wait to go back. A real gem! ”

“ Caught up with our daughter and her partner over brunch today in this lovely cafe in Ledbury. The staff were very pleasant on our arrival. There is an excellent choice of food and beverages. We all enjoyed our brunch and the ambience there is lovely. My husband was very pleased to notice black pudding on his full English breakfast. Our daughter chose some halloumi on the side of her eggs Royalle which was delicious. The coffee, tea and orange juice was all of a high quality. It’s great that this venue is very dog friendly too. The walled garden is a beautiful space to enjoy food or a drink but it was exceptionally warm today so we dined in the conservatory area. ”

“ Great find. Walking about looking for somewhere to maybe get a coffee. almost missed it. Sat in the secret garden and had very a nice latte. Ser ice was friendly and effiecent. It was such an enjoyable atmosphere we decided to grab a quick snack as well. I would recommend the Sourdough mushrooms on toast. Perfect. Tasty mushrooms that leaves the toast almost creamy gooey in places after. ”

“ Such a nice venue made you feel like you'd walked into a home. Table service is available here too which is lovely. A beautiful out side seating area available, which also allows you to view the chef cooking. Toilets are up a flight of stairs not a problem for me personally but this could be a downside for others. Food was amazing!! cooked fresh, no grease!! (we had the breakfast). Good cup of coffee available too. I will definitely eat here when im next in town ”

“ Stopped for Sunday morning breakfast, what a feast, food was top quality, cooked perfectly. Black pudding and sausage were outstanding and the poached egg's perfect. Huge pot of tea, will be visiting again if we are in the area. No parking outside but there is a pay and display 2 mins walk away. ”

“ This place is a wonderful venue for wonderful food. My wife and i with a friend decided on a mid morning snack and a coffee here. Served by the very helpful Phoebe and picked the sausage sandwich for both of us. And what a sandwich it was, wonderful sausages filling the slices of bread to such an extent that the bread struggled to contain it together, with sauces it was indeed a feast which kept us going for hours and the coffee was lovely as well. Lovely laid back atmosphere in the old house which has been converted for food and drink needless to say we will be back on our next visit to Ledbury. ”
