"Our third visit for a birthday dinner wasn’t as good as previous visits. The sweet potato soup was plain; the bread was actually toast which smacks of old bread being used. My main course of Sole was smothered with capers, which spoiled the flavour. The salad was amazing; I also ordered Savoy cabbage which may be unusual with the fish but I’d had it on two previous visits and it was delicious; but the savoy cabbage that I paid £3.50 for was absolutely dreadful, so dry, probably microwaved to death; it would not be a gross overstatement to suggest that wood shavings off the floor would have been better. The other disappointment was how tired the place is looking. When I went to the gents, the cistern cover was off showing a clear huge damp problem with mould, and the door cubicle wouldn’t close because it was swollen. I imagine they have been told to keep the cistern cover off to let the walls dry out; which they should do when the pub is closed, not during opening hours. It looked awful and the visible mould was worrying. Whilst in the cubicle the light suddenly went off within seconds of being in there which was disconcerting. For the price and the level where the Cat and Custard Pot is placed it should be immaculate with excellent food. I’m disappointed for them and for us, because this has been a goto dining place for birthdays at least once a year, but we won’t be repeating the experience. It’s worth saying that we have always experienced good service and this occasion was no exception, the waitress was excellent."

"Just needed to get away from the day to day and chill. Stumbled across the Bathurst Arms with a lucky google search. First impression, ‘wow,’ it’s big baby pink character rich building. Fair to say from the moment we walked through the door until the time we left, we had nothing other than an amazing time. Special thanks to Jasmine and every member of the team who all went above and beyond to make our stay as pleasant and stress free as possible. Food was great, you’ve got to try the Korean sesame-fried chicken burger, Asian slaw, skin-on chips, was definitely my go to dish and never disappointed. In fact, every dish we tried was superb. Thanks Gareth you certainly know how to knock up some great food, Chef being the unsung hero operating behind closed doors but your food certainly spoke for itself and it was obvious that you are passionate about what you do. Our room was a good size, bed was really comfortable and was a great place to spend the night. Also fair to say the beer was cracking so hats off to the cellar man, good selection of wines so the Mrs was very happy, at times maybe a little too happy :0) only playing but hey our plan was to chill to get away from the day to day, mission accomplished. We’ll definitely be back, Thank You to everyone that made us feel as though we were part of the extended Bathurst family. PS,, the locals are proper nuts but in a really good kind of way"
