The Carpenters Arms

The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The staff were very nice and helpful. We stayed at the pub campsite in the back and it was perfect. We will definitely be returning.

We camped overnight in the car park in the camper. We arrived later than planned but they managed to put in a feast. Homemade venison cottage pie was the star. Helpful warm welcoming and great value

Love this pub but….ordered a sirloin steak. It was grey. I’m sure it was just microwaved. Like rubber. Not one for complaints though….just needs a bit of care and attention….show it a griddle pan to start with. View menu

I was prepared to give the benefit of any doubt as the last roast meal was awful soggy veg and reheated potato. The pie I had today was raw and failed to even hold its shape it was disgusting with 5 tiny cubes of meat that I dug out from the soggy mess. I won’t be giving a third chance.

I want to extend a huge thank you to the wonderful staff who assisted me after I hit a pothole and damaged my tire! They truly went above and beyond to help me out. Not to mention, the restaurant serves delicious food in a charming atmosphere. I have visited several times while in town and will definitely be coming back again. Thank you and see you soon, Jacqui.

What a fabulous find, amazing staff, tasty food, great prices and fabulous facilities. All locals are friendly and welcoming. Beautiful pub with a roaring fire, large car park. Parked a motor home here for the night and got electric hook up if you want it for £10 a night, fresh water to fill motor home, toilet disposal and grey water disposal also available. We will definitely be back. View menu

Lovely pub but food and service were shocking. Waste of money. Thought the pub looked really lovely from the outside but once inside it all went down hill. Bar lady was not very welcoming. Looked at me gone out when i asked if we could get a table. When food arrived it was terrible. Dry jacket potatoe with a spoonful of topping. Tasteless runny homemade curry. More like a broth. I don't think the staff have any idea what they're doing. Hardly any customers but the two customers that did go to the bar had to wait an age to be served. Overall terrible, dissapointed and won't be going back or recommending to anyone.

Potentially a lovely pub. However not a nice experience. I was part of a walking group of 13 people. We stopped here for lunch. Some paid by card and some by cash for 13 meals in total. After a while it was obvious there were 2 meals missing. We asked at the bar and we were told that the requests for meals had gone to the kitchen. Therefore they had lost 2 of the meal requests. Although we all had proof of payment the staff refused to supply the meals and 2 of our group went hungry for the rest of the day and it was a long walk back to the cars. A good will gesture would have been to supply the missing meals but it was obvious by the attitude of the staff that this was not going to happen. I...

My partner and I recently dined at a buffet with a local Ramblers group, and we were highly disappointed with our experience. Upon arrival, we found a long line at the buffet table. Unfortunately, I was unable to get my own food due to being on crutches from a pelvic fracture, so I waited while my partner stood in line. When he finally returned with just one plate of food, it was a small amount of food that I wouldn't have chosen, and we had to share. He mentioned that there was no food left at the buffet. We paid a total of £19.00 for this disappointing meal. After sending an email expressing my dissatisfaction, I was ignored twice. The catering team had clearly underestimated the amount of...
