Visited the Traders for my birthday as wanted to visit somewhere new and had seen some online information recently. Great food and the service was fantastic. We will be back

Excellent food , service and price

Excellent food well worth a visit

Meal for 5 on a Friday evening. The food choices were wide and varied. Delicious food thank you to the chef. Staff friendly and helpful. Good value for the money paid. Highly recommended.

Friendly service and a busy restaurant. The food was excellent. A very succulent burger and a tasty steak pie. Also very good value for money. Would definitely recommend!

Our second visit to the Traders Arms and once again the food did not disappoint we are delighted to have found this place.

Lovely food excellent service. We had a very enjoyable evening. We cannot wait to revisit. Many thanks it was just perfect.

Visited here for first time for a family celebratory meal. Very happy with quality of food and service of staff . Will,definitely be back again

We came last night for the first time and were not disappointed. Four of us had a different dish from the menu, four empty plates and thoroughly enjoyed the food! The pub was busy but still managed to have a relaxed atmosphere. We will be eating there again.

I’m posting this review because Traders Arms asked me to. The main course and starters were good and, as other reviewers have commented, the chips were excellent. The dessert was very disappointing – bland cheesecake on a hard, thick biscuit base – like something cheap from a bottom end supermarket. But what ruined the visit was the “welcome” when we arrived. I had reserved a table, online, ten days in advance, requesting a table by a window. When we arrived, I gave my name and was told by the lady behind the bar that our table was round the corner by the coffee machine. The table was in a gap between the coffee machine and some steps, with part of the table protruding into the thoroughfare… and on the opposite side of the room from the windows. I returned to the bar and said I had asked for a table by a window. As I did so, another member of staff came over and asked what the problem was. The lady behind the bar said, “Apparently, they asked for a table by a window.” I produced the printout of our reservation and commented, “There’s no apparently about it.” We were the told that the tables by the windows (of which there were several, unoccupied) were reserved! In the end we had to settle for a table not by a window and, in retrospect, I wish we had left before accepting it. The service at the table was good but overshadowed by the rudeness of one member of staff. We won’t be returning.

Have eaten here probably 5 or 6 times, different days of the week and times and every time the food and service has been great, both when it’s busy and when a little quieter. I feel it’s probably the best pub food (and service) in the area now. Highly recommended.

First time visitors. My husband had the gourmet burger and I had the chicken roast. Service was brilliant. Food simply amazing. We will definitely be back.

Lovely Sunday lunch. Had roast beef. Good sized portions. Very tasty

Amazing Sunday roast we will be back

Lovely meal once again with 9 of my family dining on Sunday evening. We enjoyed various mains including gammon, Sunday chicken roast and the burger and it all arrived promptly with everyone receiving a good, large portion. Everyone enjoyed the meal and will return.

Eaten a few times here and it's always top quality, freshly prepared and tasty. Not outfacing portions and service with a smile. Will be back.

Food very good, table service excellent in a busy pub. Only flaw, we were delayed trying to pay waiting for bar staff to conclude their long conversation with another pair of customers. This resulted in a 4/5 for service which otherwise would have been a perfect 5.
