We came in on Sunday for a meal. Had the most beautiful home cooked roast beef . Lovely friendly staff. The added bonus was having the live pianist on it really created a lovely atmosphere. Will we definitely be back again!

The quality of the food was very good - the service was outstanding- staff could not have been more helpful. However- unfortunately the food was cold- tepid at best and we waited for 40 minutes for this and it wasn’t particularly busy . Extremely disappointing as the place is lovely We did get our drinks free for this reason but I’d rather have had hot food

Had a lovely Saturday afternoon spa day with treatment and afternoon tea..beautiful setting and the sun was shinning...Great massage was had and staff lovely, only downside was the water on offer was warm..would be nice chilled..afternoon tea was amazing great choice..and gluten free was to...deffo will be returning...

Visited the Hogarth for afternoon tea with my granddaughter. The girl serving was very attentive polite and really helpful. The food was fresh. Sandwiches were really tasty. Scones were divine given a choice of fruit or cheese. We had one each in a selection of cakes. Absolutely delicious really enjoyed it with lashongs of tea would definitely

Lovely pub dusted going on a regular basis food lush staff Lovely like Sunday lunch on a Sunday after ive finish wok and when you just want a cheeky tea ideal booking so easy

Excellent value for money, even with the supplement great 3 course meal. Best sticky toffee pudding ever tasted. Staff very friendly

I have visited here many times with my husband & friends. Service has always been great, staff are friendly & very accommodating. Food is lovely and plentiful with prices being very reasonable giving you great value for money. Looking forward to visiting again.

Spa was lovely. Very relaxing, very clean and staff were all lovely. Great facilities. Restaurant was a different experience. Waitress was grumpy, not very friendly. Food was good but not the best choice in menu, particularly after having a spa. I would have preferred a much lighter choice. Restaurant was nicely done out. I would definitely visit the spa again but I would give the restaurant a miss

The food and all the staff were spot on....service was very quick

Lovely atmosphere and service was amazing. Unfortunately my friend ordered the chicken kebab and it came to the table uncooked...we had to send it back. Everything else was wonderful, but obviously uncooked chicken not good!

Myself ,my son and his wife went for Sunday Dinner on 12/4/2026 and it was delicious we had 2 courses and both were delicious

I've been to the Farmers Arms several times now, but this was the first time for Sunday lunch. I went with my sister and brother-in-law, who hadn't been before. We were all bowled over by the quality and portions of the lunch, and it was a pleasure for me to introduce them to the welcoming atmosphere and friendly service that I have come to expect!

Me and my mam came for an afternoon in the spa which included a treatment and lunch. Everything was absolutely amazing from the treatment to the spa and the food. Staff were absolutely lovely could not fault it at all will defo be back ASAP x

Had a lovely 3 course meal today which was excellent value for money £10!!!! I had a lovely pate then giant Yorkshire pudding stuffed with lashings of beef and “homemade veg” mash and roasted potatoes AND the pièce de résistance the best stickie toffee pudding and custard I’ve had in a long time. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I can highly recommend this place. Definitely go back very soon x

I had another lovely meal at the Farmer's Arms yesterday. I have probably been close to 10 times and everytime I have been amazed at the price charged for the quality of the food received. Can not recommend too highly.

We have been visiting here for years, we’ve never once had a bad meal or bad service! Can always count on Farmhouse to deliver a brilliant visit!
