What Gordon Jones doesn't like about The Carpenters Arms:
Food very acceptable but the pub is a bit like a canteen,not a lot of atmosphere the were OK but acted like it was just a job to be done. Price per person: £10–20 Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 2 Parking space: Not sure Parking options: Free parking lot View all feedback. What jemsgrandad likes about The Carpenters Arms:
Excellent home-made snake ale pie. Only downside was that gravy had been liberally added, mayne just me but I prefer to pour my own. Vegetables seasonal but tasteless due to boiling. Staff attentive. View all feedback.

Everything was perfect. Quality of food, prices, service, atmosphere. No faults found atall.

The Carpenters Arms offers a range of homemade pies that are truly impressive, accompanied by fresh vegetables and various potato sides. This pub, with its vibrant atmosphere and quick service, is perfect for a Sunday lunch, providing excellent food at a reasonable price. The staff are attentive and the menu offers a variety of hearty, home-cooked meals. Despite some patrons experiencing dry or overcooked dishes, overall the quality of the food is excellent. With a history dating back to 1853, this establishment is a fantastic choice for a meal out. Highly recommended for a pleasant dining experience.
