user reviews of Hatfeild Arms, Laughton

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Stopped here for lunch after hiking via the nearby interesting Roche Abbey site. This is a down to earth, honest and unpretentious locals pub with 1970s decor and an affable landlord. Expect whippets,pigeons and football to be the conversation around the bar in this ex mining area. The landlord was decorating the place for the Saturday night Halloween disco so one of the regular customers served our ale.
Standard beer at the pumps was John Smiths but this abysmal stuff was more than compensated for by the one cask ale sold, the superb Bradfield
Brewery Farmer's Brown Cow ale at a bargain �2.50 a pint.
As for the food, we were astonished when a beef and onion baguette, salad and chips was served up at �4.50. The baguette was overstuffed with tender beef and big enough to be used as a doorstop. the plentiful chips were home cut and cooked to perfection, the salad was a generous portion. The treacle sponge pudding was huge and overflowing with custard.The locals round here are inquisitive and friendly and one told me that the landlady was always generous with the food.
All you greedy Peak District tourist-trap landlords flogging your overpriced and "economically" portioned food. - please take note.

The Hatfeild Arms is named after the Hatfeild family who have lived in the village since the 1600s. It is a deceptively large pub standing on the main road running through the village, and has a reasonably sized car park to the rear.
***
The inside is of no particular distict style. but what I would call "modern traditional", not old english, etc. more 1950s+. It consists of a central bar serving a dining lounge and a large public bar with darts and pool table. There is also a separate restaurant room and upstairs function room for hire. Whilst the outside is a little un-inspiring, the interior is very clean throughout and well looked after. the pub seems quite popular with the villagers and on our weekend evening visit the lounge was busy with a private birthday dinner, and the function room above had a wedding party on.
***
there is a range of meals available. I have eaten here in the past, but not recently since it has changed hands. There are a range of keg beers & lagers [J.Smiths,Bass] and one guest cask. This was Nethergate brewery's "Mad Bob" which I have not come across before. A nicely balanced bitter which was in good condition. At �2.20 it was cheaper than the keg beers!

verdict:
worth another visit. a very pleasant, quiet village pub offering nice meals, good ale and friendly service.
nice but not that exceptional, so a 6 from me.
