Carpenters Arms - Menu

We stopped by for coffee and breakfast with our family. The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. We had a very enjoyable experience and will definitely be returning. It's also dog-friendly, which is a bonus.

My husband and I enjoyed two marvellous breakfasts at the Carpenters. The food and the service from Phil were exceptional. The breakfasts were filling and the ingredients all tasted exceptional. All for a reasonable price which included tea and coffee. We would definitely recommend and we will visit again soon.

We visited again tonight (6 adults) the meals were all different . All the meals were excellent, hot and well cooked with good sized portions . For puddings 3 had sweets which were all different again , no problems again .I would like to say how friendly the young staff and nothing is too much trouble for them . Will definitely be back .

Stayed a couple of nights as we were visiting friends in the area. Tried to email regarding my booking but got no response! Friendly welcome. Basic room in need of modernisation. No option of a double bed, only singles! Breakfast not included (was available as an extra, but not till 09.30) was nice We eat there one evening as well which was also fine.

We were told that all food would be freshly cooked to order. My starter was whitebait but was so over cooked I couldn’t taste the fish, it was like eating a bit of burnt batter the same goes for my scampi main. Steaks were also over cooked aswell although asked for medium rare. Young lad that served us was very polite and helpful but the lady in charge maybe needs some training in people skills. Will not be going back and I do not recommend.

Came here for breakfast for three of us including a sausage for the dog it was £30. Breakfast comes with a hot drink but it's a bit extra for a latte. The pub is a typical old English pub, it's got a nice home feel about it and it's fantastic that it is dog friendly, the dogs even have their own menu! The breakfast was good but what let it down for us is the sausages are the cheap ones you would find at your typical street cafe. We also found the latte very weak. Staff are friendly and helpful and overall was a nice experience.

Food was excellent but took a massive amount of time to come out, as did the drinks. We waited 45 minutes for our desserts and then when I chased was told there had been a “communication error” with the kitchen. When we arrived they had no record of our booking. There was one waitress who was racing about, loudly asking people to get out of her way. Twice she knocked my mums head as she raced past and didn’t apologise and she very nearly walked straight into my pregnant sister. Given this a Father’s Day dinner, it was pretty disappointing. I understand it’s a busy day for them, but that should come with preparation. Ie extra staff!

The food was decent and the prices were good at this restaurant. However, there were some downsides. The waiter who took our order forgot to tell us that two items were not available until after we had ordered. We also had to remind them about a missing starter and some missing parts of our main course. The night was not very enjoyable due to a female friend of the waiter who was making loud and annoying noises all evening. The landlady also seemed to be quite drunk. I would recommend this place for breakfast and lunch, but not for a quiet family dinner. It's a shame because it seems like the waiting staff are not very efficient or enthusiastic. I won't be returning.

Nine of us had dinner on a Thursday evening at this restaurant. We were greeted by Ethan, who was friendly and helpful. The dining area was clean and a large table was set up for us. Despite having some picky eaters in our group, the staff were accommodating and willing to meet our requests. The food was fresh and delicious, with generous portion sizes. I particularly enjoyed my spaghetti and meatball dish. The spinach and ricotta cannelloni was also outstanding. The "big boys" in our group loved their burgers and fries, which were satisfyingly large. We celebrated a birthday and Ethan kindly brought out the cake we had provided, complete with candles for the birthday boy. Other diners even...
