Had absolutely no idea such an incredible family oriented pub was right on our doorstep. Barmaid was so lovely, the garden is immense with what is EASILY the best children's play area I've ever seen. Will deffo be returning with the children!
Wonderful place! The people were really friendly. Everyone would smile at you. I went there for lunch and it really hit the spot. Delicious! Thank you, everyone. Wishing you pleasant days.
First time visiting this pub, as we looked for somewhere to eat on a Saturday evening, after a day spent walking in the area. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming as we settled into the back bar at the side of the splendid log fire. They have a good range of drinks, and the wines we chose hit the spot perfectly. The menu offered standard pub fare, alongside a variety of more unusual, home-prepared meals. The meat, in particular, is sourced from a small local butcher, and if my meal is any indication, the quality is superb. Even the slight delay in serving one of our party was handled so well by the staff that it failed to detract from the experience at all.
The evening was rounded off by a live singer, who proved to be so entertaining that we stayed far longer than we intended.
All in all, this is a lovely pub, and we will definitely be making a return visit.
Well done to all the staff and management (and customers) of the Royal Arms; thank you!
Really nice place with good options on food deals. Basket meals for £5!!!
Staff were really nice, and you're made to feel welcome.
I've just had the most amazing takeaway roast beef dinner. There was so much food; lots of juicy beef, carrots, green beans, cabbage, cauliflower, mashed swede, broccoli, parsnip, roast potatoes topped up with the best Yorkshire pudding I've had in ages and gallons of thick rich gravy.
Definitely worth the money in my opinion!
JP and the team make you feel really welcome. Great food wit an extensive menu, make it a destination for a family meal. Also has multiple screens showing different sports that caters for the most discerning enthusiast. Pool table and traditional quiz and fruit machines, means it’s always lively with a really good vibe
Great food and friendly staffs with atmosphere.
4 of us went walking in the nearby Caesar’s Camp and Rowhill Nature Reserve. We booked for lunch at The Royal Arms.
We were offered a choice of indoor or outdoor seating - as the temperature was in the twenties, we chose outside in the slightly unkempt garden - a fact which didn't bother any of us one little bit!
Service was very attentive, and the landlord happy to crack a joke or two, great choice of beers (well kept cellar obviously) and proper food....nothing pretentious just good food , very well cooked and massive portions.
Will be returning. 😎
Not from the area but drove past and decided to stop for food. So glad we did had the steak and ale home cooked pie was absolutely delicious. Staff very friendly. Kids had scampi/chicken fingers good size portions and kids happy. Was very reasonably priced as well. Would recommend and would go back if in the area again.
A warm and friendly greeting at this local pub. Generous portions of the Sunday roasts (and the kids servings), and a pool table. What’s not to like?
Excellent place for food. very large portions, friendly staff and with a big garden and large play area for the kids. Will return soon.
Food was amazing so many good flavours and portions, quality and value for money is amazing the service was also so friendly welcoming and so helpful would recommend
Took a Ramblers group here for Sunday lunch, excellent food, service & price & counted 9 different vegetables on my plate! Definitely recommended, thanks will come again
Came here for a roast on a sunny day, we sat outside under shelter , all the children were playing very nicely in the huge garden with trampoline, climbing frame, swings etc, the staff were very friendly and the food was amazing ! , especially the cheesecake!!
