SquareMeal Review of Mortimers

Bronze Award

This Ludlow address was once home to Claude Bosi’s original Hibiscus and later Michelin-starred La Bécasse, but it now houses Mortimers – a “gorgeous new restaurant” set up by Andrew Brookes and local chef Wayne Smith (a Bosi protégé). Expect “good company and a great atmosphere”, along with classily rendered food that’s “up there with the best” (according to one devotee). Attractively priced menus are in the modern idiom, with terse dish descriptions belying the kitchen’s highly skilled endeavours: hand-dived scallop with pumpkin and black truffle or duck with pastrami and celeriac might precede Mortimer Forest venison with baby leeks and roast shallots or halibut with white bean and crayfish ragoût. Desserts are also out to impress – think chocolate marquise with hazelnut brittle and caramel ice cream or a trio of rhubarb (poached, sorbet and pannacotta). “A great all-round dining experience” declares one fan, while another simply says “very special indeed”.

Delicious, good value tasting menu

Mortimers is centrally located in a beautiful room, which initially seemed potentially a little stuffy.  However, the friendly and welcoming staff soon dispelled that impression, and we were treated to a series of perfectly formed, varied dishes which made for a superb evening. Recommended.

Worst customer service I’ve ever seen

We planned to Goto Mortimer's and booked in error not
realising that by booking the staff, namely Wayne Smith,
takes your card number and keeps stealing money from your
account. They start with £1 then £10 then £100. I've
Contracted my credit company who are investigating and
advised me to Goto the police which I will.
BEWARE, staff here steal your card number and commit
fraud it seems.
Update as if 18th July, Mortimer's have just sent me this
message via private chat. Please see picture attached and on
the last line he's called me ibn il-matnaaka this is ARABIC for
a very rude phrase.!
This is what happens when you book with mortimers, can't
attend due to not being able to find a taxi, can't phone them
as they don't answer their phones (they request
communication by email) then when you email they charge
you 18 times random smaller amounts.
They've refused so far to refund me monies taken and I will
be looking at court action.
