OMG, what a disappointment with the luncheon menu! Beautiful location with magnificent views. The food on the other hand was unforgettable and not in a good way! Bland, cheap ingredients, limited and boring menu, coupled with lack of imagination for taste and flair. What a wasted opportunity, this pub requires a skilled chef, who understands how a lunch menu should be delivered. A limited menu is fine but the quality and range should be varied! I can only hope the dinner menu is 100% better but I will not be returning! So sorry to deliver a bad review but the menu was really substandard and new customers need to be aware!

Jonathan and I got married at the Manor Arms 1st August 2022 and we couldn't have been happier with how everything went! Communication with Donna from the start up until the wedding day was spot on. The service and everything ran so smoothly on our day and the food was just incredible, so lovely! Thank you all so much for everything!

Went for Sunday lunch. Service and food both excellent. All three mains were superb and though the desserts were not (quite) to the same standard, they were still good.

Absolutely shocking! I have just came from a long lovely bike ride and stopped at my local pub i asked for a menu and i was told that food started at 4:00 pm being the right person i waited and when i returned at 4:00 pm they told me that food had stopped, we then checked with the website to check if this was the case. but then we saw it finished later at 4:30pm we then left in disgust !

Two of us went for a walk round part of the Abberley circular walk, including Abberley Ridge, and we parked in the pub’s car park, promising to come back for lunch. I’m so pleased we did! The food was sublime. Both of us were so surprised that a country pub would serve such brilliantly put together food. The flavours were so well put together - I never thought I would wax lyrically about fish cakes in a seaweed sauce, but I am! I can also wax lyrically about the duck and butternut squash main course - I’m not a fan of butternut squash, it’s even made me heave at times, but this, with the sauce and duck was… JUST - SO - BRILLIANTLY - PUT - TOGETHER. Not cheap, but worth every penny. Oh, and I’m reliably told that the cod was just as good, possibly even better. The chef has only been there three weeks, and today is the 12th November 2022. So, you might want to take some of the reviews prior to that date as out of date. As Arnie said - “I’ll be back!”

Best pub food we've ever had . Local produce and really well thought out menu with combinations of flavours we have never had before. So much creativity and forward thinking by the chef(s) and wonderful, friendly and accommodating staff. Will be highly recommending to all our foody friends.

Went for Sunday lunch today can honestly say it was the best pub food I've ever ate. Staff were fantastic and nothing was to much trouble. Highly recommend
