We took eight members of the family for a meal on Saturday night and it was one of the worst meals we have ever had.
Both the food and service were awful. The restaurant was practically empty yet they managed to serve my dad’s well done steak bleeding, my husband’s meal was stone cold, my lamb shank was covered in grease and was sprinkled with dried mint. The salad garnishes were dripping in water, the bed roll was rock hard and they had no milk for coffee except for UHT. Every single dish had something wrong with it.
The attitude of the management was also appalling when I tried to complain. We were treated very badly.
If you like a good meal out avoid this place like the plague. I’ll never set foot in the place again.
Zero out of ten - and that’s being generous.

Hi like the two posts when we first visited it was OK but the owner was present walking around asking diners if all was well. However next visit sunday lunch owner was absent? basically dining area was run by young unsupervised staff run off feet sadly the meal was not good either, cold bland and just one choice of meat. Thought well just a one off perhaps next time owner absent food cold once again roast potatoes were almost all white aside from the bottoms which were black, veg had dried out, mash was just a lump of thick stodge and meat was full of gristle so we stopped going interested to read other more recent posts to see if it's improved it's sad because it's a beautiful location but just a shame about the unapertising food.

We have heard many comments about this place and thought we would try it out ourselves. Well the food was disgusting, at most pubs you get fresh salads with the meals but we did not got any salad just burnt potatoes. The staff are very scruffy and unpolite. I Would NOT recommend anyone to go their!!

I was driving past the Drovers Arms the other day and i decided to give it a try. Inside i found it to be very cosy and found the staff to be genuinely friendly. I ordered the steak and ale pie and it was delicious. I fully intend to return with friends for an evening meal in the near future.

The service here was rather good and I enjoyed the meal a lot. The people at the Drovers are very polite and friendly and would not hesitate to recommend this to a friend or work colleague.
