What Ali Edgson doesn't like about Raglan Arms:
Not what it used to be I'm afraid. This used to be a favourite for us for special occasions but we had dinner here this evening with a friend and were disappointed with the experience. The restaurant no longer has a cosy feel, the staff were attentive and friendly but the menu choices were limited and the food was very basic. Lovely good value bottle of sauvignon blanc was the best part. I'm afraid we won't be return... View all feedback. What AntoniaTrip likes about Raglan Arms:
We were in the area, so we popped in.. A very attractive restaurant and bar. Very courteous and friendly staff. We had the mushrooms on toast with poached eggs. Very good. My husband had the calves liver and mash for mains. I had the lamb with a tiny shepherd s pie. All excellent. Stuffed so no pudding. View all feedback.

The Raglan Arms, a once-beloved restaurant for special occasions, has recently received mixed reviews. While some customers found the limited menu and basic food quality to be disappointing, others praised the beautiful premises, friendly staff, and delicious meals. The reopening under a new chef received mixed feedback, with some feeling underwhelmed by the portions and overall experience. However, there were positive highlights such as the attentive service and good value for money. Despite some inconsistencies, The Raglan Arms seems to be making strides towards reclaiming its reputation as a must-visit dining spot.
