Review The Carpenters Arms

Shubhaa

Thanks to Nelson and all his staff for an amazing wedding celebration. The room was perfect, the food excellent, the service impecable and all organised in a record time making all so easy for us! If you have something to celebrate or just want to enjoy an amazing meal, this is your place! Oh, amazing vegetarian and vegan food and also gluten free options, not forgetting the opportunity to taste the excellent Portuguese dishes!

Had a really lovely time at The Carpenters last night, attending an evening of Mediumship. (Definitely want to know when you are putting on the next one please Nelson!) Nelson & Neil are just the nicest landlords I've ever met. From the minute you walk in they make you feel right at home and like you've known each other for years. And not just me, they were the same to everyone. No matter how busy they were. Beautiful little nook, gorgeously done up, so clean, tidy & fresh. I can't speak for the food as I haven't had any yet, but it won't be long before I can as I already know this is a place I'll definitely be returning to!

Had my first roast meal here and absolutely fell in love with the place and food. The service is friendly and quick. I ordered the Vegan Wellington and it was fantastic. The gravy was delicious and the veggies were fresh. It was great to see some vegan options for dessert! The pub itself had a really cozy vibe and I really enjoyed my meal here :)

Went on Saturday the 30/04/22, despite being very very busy they got us a table with no reservation (although I'd advise booking to avoid disappointment). The food was beautiful, I had garlic mushrooms for starters, steak & ale pie for mains and apple pie for dessert, the food was beautiful & our server couldn't have been more polite despite being under a lot of pressure. I would highly recommend a visit if you're in the area.

The Francesinha (cheese, ham, beef & chorizo in a beautiful spicy sause) & the Bacalhau com Natas (cod & cream) we're delightful, some of the nicest food we've eaten in a long time. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the beers were excellent.
