Singing for his supper for the last time in Ludlow is Michelin starred chef Shaun Hill. He hung up his chef's whites for the last time at the award winning Merchant House restaurant earlier in the year.

He still lives in the town and is the guest speaker at the first annual birthday celebration to be held in Ludlow on Friday 6th May for the Friends of the Assembly Rooms.

Robin Bennett, Chairman of the Ludlow District Community Association, has invited Friends of the Assembly Rooms to join him at a three-course dinner with the world famous chef and raconteur. Hoping to learn some tricks of the trade is Jackie Miller owner of Colliers Hill the recently opened award-winning guest and conference centre near Ludlow.
