| Ive visited this pub on numerous occaisions and have i never once been disapointed in the food there is a very varied menu with somthing to suit every taste good selection of fresh fish and good quality homemade pies which this pub is know for its steak pie. They do a good choice of sunday roasts with a good choice of meats and well cooked vegetables as well as a full menu. The pub has a cosy atmosphere with a conservatory which we have seen used for large parties and were still served very quickly all the staff are very friendly And allways seemed please to serve you they all ways seem busy enough when we have dined there.

| We visited on a Sunday afternoon in the hope of a good meal!! To start with it cost £5.75 for 5 pieces of poorly cooked breaded scampi. For mains We ordered the beef roast, I can truly say it was the worst meal ever ordered! There was 3 small cold dry roast potatoes, cold sliced carrots, 1 piece of over cooked mushy cold broccoli, 1 cardboard Aunt Bessie Yorkshire pudding and 3 small WAFER thin slices of beef costing just short of £10 each!! I can honestly say that the quality and portions of food sold here is worse than a frozen supermarket roast dinner! Save your money and disappointment and eat elsewhere that serve traditional quality roast dinners. This pub uses a system that requires the customer to order and pay for their food in advance and then listen for their order number to be announced on a intercom so that they can then collect the food from the bar. You would expect that due to having no waiting staff overheads, the quality of food would reflect this! Mohamid - 25 Jul 2011 10:17 |
| Used to be a fine real ale pub but the grey beards have taken over so I dont bother going there now and the Green Man up the road has closed down there is no choice. hogshead - 31 Aug 2009 07:43 |
| Went at 8pm on a weekday for a meal, got a drink whilst i browsed menu, went upto order and practically everything on the menu was not available. Had only a choice of pies or lasagne. That was dissapointing as if they had put a menu notice up saying 80% of their menu was not available i would not have ordered drinks and gone elsewhere as i was starving and wanted all the things not available. Apparently they had no delivery that day which is fair enough but would be good then to put a notice up as i said so you can make your decision whether to stay before sitting down and ordering drinks and choosing what you want. The tannoy system was a bit tacky and service at the till wasn't particularly warm but the food was well priced, nice and good portions. I suppose the self service and tannoy keeps the price down so not a complaint just a personal preference. rob30132 - 19 Aug 2009 09:39 |
| We visited the alma arms as a group of 6,the ladies chose steaks,all of which were cooked to their liking,the men chose various recipes of home made steak pies all of which were outstanding. The vegetables were well cooked and presented and piping hot. We found the ticket system practical and the self service aspect was reflected in the price. The men enjoyed several pints of real ale and noted that they were served at the correct temperature. The ladies enjoyed their wine,both red and white. We all fully intend to visit again and would not hesitate to reccomend it to anybody paulyf - 16 Apr 2009 18:50 |
