The Carpenters Arms

Lovely pub, friendly service, nice walks in the area. Dog friendly.
Food first class.

The menu for lunch apart from the fish and chips is a world away from standard pub fare. Excellent fusion food combining East and West. Our table was by a window, light and for once not layered in grease. The young staff were excellent. Cheerful and helpful in describing the unfamiliar food.

Nice pub in a nice location. Good range of drinks, but limited food menu. Checked out the menu online and it appears what is on offer differs to the photos posted on their website, as it seems the website was last updated in 2019, so don't be fooled by the photos (I'm sure this isn't intentional). Will definitely return for a drink.

Food was excellent but only informed of a potential 30 minute wait after ordering food and drinks. Also no mention of shortage of staff when booked table 2 hours before. A bit of honesty up front to allow customers to make a choice rather than leaving them feeling taken for granted..
We will return as the food was good but bit more honesty up front please..

This is such a lovely pub. There is a gorgeous garden with loads of seating, the front patio is lovely. The food is unbelievable, almost too pretty to eat. Compliments to all of the staff. It was a wonderful experience and I would return in a shot. Thank you.

Went here for a wedding buffet. Genuinely can say that it's the best buffet I've ever had. My entire table agreed with me. Compliments to the chef, everything was super gourmet tasting and in abundance. The waiting staff were also polite and professional throughout, despite the soaring heat and increased number of customers. Very impressive overall

The chestnut mushroom & sun dried tomato gnocchi with crispy kale is one of the best dishes I have had in a pub. It’s also vegan and you would never know it. The Parmesan cheese tastes just like the real thing. Excellent dish, great pub.

Great New Year meal after a muddy walk with the family and dog. Obviously busy but pleasant and efficient staff and the food (roasts) were excellent. Will definitely return.
