What lizziedee55 likes about The Morritt:
We were so happy that we didn't read any reviews before visiting this pub/restaurant, as we may have missed out on a hidden gem. The food was top-notch and served in generous portions. The Ox cheeks bourguignon was especially filling, so you might not even need a starter. The fish and chips were delicious with a crispy batter and thick homemade chips. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was char... View all feedback. What Lois W doesn't like about The Morritt:
So disappointing. Have been coming here for a long time but today was the last. The service was slow (with an almost empty bar/restaurant) and the food was overpriced and basic. Pity! View all feedback.

Came for a spa day for my wife's birthday as she's always wanted to visit and the reputation is well earned.

Young lady serving behind the bar is amazing ,called in after a walk for a beer and was greeted by an amazing lady behind the bar. Would definitely return

The Morritt Arms offers a mixed experience, with disappointing restaurant food and service, contrasted by excellent spa treatments and welcoming staff. The hotel itself boasts rustic charm, welcoming staff, and a dog-friendly atmosphere. Dining options vary from poor Sunday lunch quality to high-quality bar meals. The location, just off the A66, is praised for its convenience for travelers, with nearby attractions such as Castle Barnard. Overall, The Morritt Arms offers a quaint setting with a mix of positive and negative aspects, making it a suitable stopover for travelers seeking a break from a long journey.

Inedible fish and chips, very small fish, horrendously overdone chips, with a nasty fatty aftertaste. £18.25 each! We were staying in the hotel for 2 nights, bu...
