Farmers Arms

Had a fabulous birthday lunch for my mom today. The food was excellent, the staff were warm, smiley & helpful & for anyone with children there's a great play area. Well worth a visit.

It does not cease to amaze me how this place is so highly rated and has "won awards" which I suspect might have been a blue Peter badge back in the 90's for a drawing the owner did as a child - because I can't believe it would be for food, deco or vibe anyway. My family and I chose to come here based on said rating and we feel rather duped to be fair. Apon entry at lunch time loud and really rubbish music is playing which is not really what you want while eating. But we were there and the food was "said" to be good so we went ahead and made our orders. When the food started to arrive - to say I was shocked would be an understatement. This must be the only place on earth where it is acceptable to put the chips part of your meal into a small b and m bargains cat food bowl while the rest of your meal follows on a small child sized dinner plate. I noticed some other people receiving thier chips in a little chip frying basket - which I don't particularly like either but I did wonder what kind of special individual you would need to be to receive those as apposed to our cat bowls... Like did we need to belong to a secret club or something that we hadn't been told about? The chips within the b and m cat bowls could potentially have lessened my annoyance had they been actually decent chips... But alas - this dream was also crushed when I realised that they were just cheapy big chips like you get in the Chinese. I suspect they may have been par-fried previous to the final fry before they made thier way into said cat bowls and subsequently to our table and whoever did the final fry had even failed in that menial task as they were not particularly warm cheap, big, Chinese takeaway type, previously par-fried chips! Then... There is the rest of the meal on the separate child sized dinner plate.... Tiny steak which was also - bizzarely rather cold and was around 50% inedible (unless your a monster) fat. The rest of the meals were less than mediocre and they failed to get the orders completely right as well. All in all BIG waste of time and money. Won't be returning - and if your thinking of going there for the first time yourself - my advice - don't.

Can't fault this lovely community pub. Lovely locals, good drinks, quality food. Highly recommended

Very friendly and welcoming staff, used the pub regularly whilst in the area for work.

Unexpected little gem. Passed it a few times and never paid much attention to it but after sitting out in the sun I will definitely visit again

Good vibes. Also the owner is really cool.
