The Bakers Arms - Carta

On arriving at the Baker's Arms, we were greeted by a very well mannered young man who was both friendly and helpful. As we were rather late, we feared that the chef might have finished for the day! Imagine our surprise, when he kindly agreed to cook our meal, which was absolutely delicious. In an age in which good service is hard to find, I highly recommend this establishment.

We recently visited this restaurant to celebrate my wife's birthday, the waitress showed us to our table and handed us menu's, which were varied but not overly varied. The restaurant was busy and had a good atmosphere, our food arrived which was well presented and hot. Overall the staff were friendly, the service and food was very good. One thing we need notice a number of fellow diner's brought there dogs with them.

This week, a group of eight of us had a wonderful lunch at The Baker's Arms. After days of cooking for ourselves in a nearby location, it was a real treat. The chicken pies were delicious and filling, and those who tried the fish pie were impressed by the generous amounts of fish. Initially, we were a bit let down by the lack of vegetables on our plates, but then some cauliflower cheese was brought out separately. In the end, only three of us had space for dessert. The crumble and custard were outstanding. Ver carta

Food overall was fine. My soup was cold and I politely asked a lovely waitress if it could be warmed up. I had the soup brought back out to me by another member of staff. They made it clear not to touch the now ‘hot’ bowl and as they placed it down in front of me they sarcastically said 'you wanted it hot, now it 's hot '. You 'd expect soup to be hot anyways so l 'm unsure why this request had rubbed them up the wrong way. Their attitude left a bitter taste in my mouth. Not to mention that we received the bill and were forgotten about, 25 mins later we managed to pay.

Having been here for lunch on several occasions and found it very good, we were so disappointed when we came for dinner with family to celebrate our Ruby Wedding, When the main course was served, they were only warm, one of us sent it back the others just decided to eat theirs even though the food was lukewarm. We were asked if we would like dessert, on ordering to be told that they didn't have the desserts we wanted so only 3 out of the 6 of us had dessert, why ask us if you didn't have any to offer. This was overall a disappointing evening which was a shame as previously our visits have been good. Sadly because of this I would now hesitate returning.

So, we were just looking for somewhere different to have lunch and my partner Simon came across this wonderful little gem. All we could say is Wow!! We sat by the fire for a bit of lunch on New Years Eve. Oh my goodness we were so well looked after. Bekka, the friendliest and most helpful of managers, couldn’t do enough for us. We had Joe, Carys and Amelia looking after us too. We both had the most delicious duck with red cabbage cooked in mulled wine (omg) with fondant potatoes and perfectly cooked veg, followed by apple and cranberry crumble and custard (yum) which we both shared. All washed down with exquisite wine and local beer… I cannot recommend this warming friendly restaurant enough... Ver carta

This pub has a nice atmosphere had a good menu, but they need to be careful with staff and pricing. We ordered soups only because we just wanted starters and when the barman said do you want them as a main course we said yes them just one portion of chips to share. However, when the bill came instead of being charged £9 the price on the menu we were charged £18 each. It’s not uncommon to just order starters in a pub instead of a main course, but when the waiter says do you want them as a main course we don’t expect them to be double the price because they certainly weren’t double the size ! Probably the most expensive soup I’ve ever had in the world. We decided to let it pass while we were t...

I usually try to avoid writing negative reviews as I'm not sure how helpful they are, but I feel compelled to share my experience at the Bakers Arms to prevent others from having a similar experience. My family and I visited this restaurant for their award-winning Sunday lunch, but unfortunately, it was a disaster from beginning to end. Our table was not ready at the reserved time, and once we were finally seated, we had to wait 30 minutes for someone to take our order. We had to keep chasing the staff or else it would have taken even longer. Another 30 minutes passed before our food was finally served, and when it arrived, the beef was tough, the Yorkshire pudding was soggy, and the side of...

To be frank, I stopped going out for Sunday pub roasts a long time ago.. partly because all that ever seemed to be on offer was pork, beef or lamb, (meats I don’t actually enjoy… not for any trendy reasons, I simply don’t like their tastes, alas , and I would never see my favourites of chicken or turkey roast ever on the menu, cuts of meat I greatly enjoy and can eat.. er, until the cows come home! The other reason was the fare I did opt for was often never really hot, always over-priced usually leaving me disappointed and wishing I’d chosen a simple burger or fish chips instead. But when two close friends invited me out to lunch this Sunday just passed, I jumped at the chance purely because... Ver carta
