Dame Judi Dench stays at Dinham Weir House.

We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Dame Judi Dench to Dinham Weir House on 28th June 2023, as you can see by our excited faces! The Legendary Judi Dench came to Ludlow to support our Ludlow Fringe Festival, and we had the honour of ensuring her visit was comfortable and enjoyable. What a gorgeous lady she is. Our incredibly talented onsite chef Harry Bullock and his leading lady Ruby delivered a sensational dining experience. Along with Dame Judi, we welcomed Alistair McGowan and his lovely wife Charlotte Page, Brendan O’Hea actor and movie director and Dame Judi’s team Jenni and Kevin. To say Harry and Ruby delivered is an understatement. We believe the meal went down as the “best of her life” now that’s something to celebrate! We are so proud of the whole team here at Dinham Weir House and we recommend you book Harry for your own fine dining experience during your stay here, you won’t regret it.
