Had a Sunday lunch here and I can't find anything wrong with it . Everything is looked at in fine detail . I asked for more gravy for my lamb chops which were delicious anyway . But I didn't get bisto , it was flavoured with wine spices and herbs . The veg was also covered in flavouring which meant if I had put mint sauce on the meal I would have ruined it ! And I love mint sauce . Dessert crumble was delicious as well . There were three or four staff always around and the place was packed for good reason . Atmosphere was vibrant which in my opinion is lovely . This is a notch above pub food which you would be happy with in a London restaurant , make no mistake . But half the price . Winner ! Winner ! Parking: Enough for twenty plus

Looks bit nondescript from front but inside is quite charming....old wooden beams, well decorated in a modern country style. Big car park, outside seating area. Lunch menu bit short but my toasted baguette was good. Friendly helpful service.

Never had a bad meal ! Not your average pub food , but can get that if you want it . A couple of pounds dearer than the average and rightly so . A small snug bar if you just want a drink but it's mainly geared as an eaterie. Staff are really well trained for a welcome change so if you ask about the food they can actually tell you in detail if necessary about it . Well worth a visit

Great food! The new management must have brought in a new kitchen team - excellent selection and tasty food. Good range of starters, snacks/bar food (burgers & pizza) and mains plus 7 different specials on the day we visited (a Monday) so something for everyone. The cauliflower bites were spectacular as a starter, closely followed by the baked camembert cheese and mushrooms on sourdough. The hake was our most popular main with creamy mash. The desserts were also impressive - especially the cheesecakes! Friendly staff made us (and our three well behaved dogs) feel welcome. Happy to recommend.

First time here, good menu selection, food was delicious and great atmosphere, staff really friendly will definitely be back

Have just been today outstanding food compliments to the chef presentation outstanding I can honestly say never tasted a better roast dinner beef was wonderful well done will definitely be back

Always love a trip to the carpenters arms. We hadn't reserved a table but we're lucky they were able to squeeze us in. We were thrilled to find Thai food on the menu. It was delicious. Best Thai of had in some time we hope that it becomes a permanent fixture on the menu. The chicken curry and the pad thai were both brilliant.
