The Royal Arms - Menu

Attended a wedding here on Friday and everything from the organisation to the attitude of the staff was excellent. They pulled out every stop to make our friend’s wedding special.

I booked “the library” for an early evening meal with several children. It was fab! Food was delicious, slick service and enthusiasm towards the kids. They were even able to feed the fish in the fish tank. A really enjoyable experience I will definitely come again.

A pretty astonishingly poor (single) vegetarian option offered at Sunday lunch (despite the restaurant describing themselves as vegetarian friendly). Some re-heated gnocchi with an entire tin of tomatoes over it and what I can only assume was an entire jar of capers. For £14! Meanwhile everyone else at our table got full roasts (can't comment on how good they were as I didn't try them) for £16-18. Absolutely ridiculous that anyone could consider that gnocchi a viable option at all.

Confused. Are you a wedding venue, a local pub or a fine dining restaurant? Beautiful food served with paper napkins. Expensive wine served in heavy bar style wine glasses? Outdoor furniture designed for wedding guests, with no cushions. Lovely room but dated, miss matched furniture and scuffed paintwork. (The shower cubicle definitely doesn’t feature in any of your new glossy brochures, or your lovely website! You need to decide what you are. Unfortunately you will always be remembered by us as “the restaurant that served me 3 halves of new potatoes”

Very average, nice girls serving us, the beer I ordered was really poor definitely off, tasted awful and I changed for a bottle of beer so safe there, I ordered fish chips which I believe was £14.50 very expensive very very small piece of fish, had so much better at the local chip shop in Melton. 6 of us and a bill for £214, very expensive for what it is should have been more like £100 and even at that I wouldn’t go back … Sutton Cheney such a nice place, this place COULD be wonderful but the owner needs to be much friendlier, and the food needs to be bigger portions and much less cheaper …

This was booked for a small Family Wedding meal we were really looking forward to it, the menu choices seemed lovely price per head a bit over the top but, the area I suppose you’d expect this. However, on arrival the seating plan was not the best as people had their backs to each other, the Staff were extremely young and inexperienced to say the least the manager or head of service was quite rude not very helpful. Quite a few of the orders (that were pre ordered) were incorrect and, when challenged you were made to feel uncomfortable. All in all not a good place to celebrate especially after such a lovely wedding elsewhere.

This is my 2nd stay here and once again I can’t fault it in any way. Such a lovely rural location, spacious car park. Check in was super easy. Staff so friendly and attentive. Accommodation was very clean and spacious. The mattress was so soft and comfortable. Had food in the restaurant which was lovely, the staff were very attentive and the food was really enjoyable. I also added the breakfast onto the stay as well and I liked the fact everything was brought to me rather than having to go and find the cereal, juices, coffee etc. the full English was cooked how I like it and fresh. All in all I can honestly say I love this place and already have plans to stay again.. Thankyou royal arms for...

Booked the Royal Arms mainly for the fact they offer a Gluten Free Sunday roast dinner. I was bitterly disappointed when my food arrived to see a small stack of meat, around 3 small potatoes and a small pot of gravy… NO Yorkshire pudding, NO crackling and barely enough veg to feed a child in a small bowl… I don’t eat cauliflower cheese but wasn’t asked if I’d prefer another veg option. If they offer a GF dinner it needs to be a full dinner not half portions but for the full amount of £18:50! Other diners seemed to have what can only be described as meat platters filled with gigantic Sunday dinners! I left feeling hungry and disappointed and not happy being sat next to the toilet door. Won’t...

First impression of the restaurant was very good. Unfortunately a few simple things caused me to write this review. All three of us ordered a roast dinner which was served to us whilst we were still looking at the wine list, approximately 5 minutes. That was when a few things were reported to the waitress. 1. No crackling withe roast pork something that is shown as a main ingredient on the menu. 2. Gravy already poured all over the food, this should always be served separately. 3 . The cauliflower cheese was literally a bowl of mush, we reported this to the waitress who just said she would let someone know. The table next to us was served next with a large bowl of beautifully prepared caulif...
