All good. Nice guys. Great place. Good food. Recommended

I am never normally one to complain and we normally love Panama Hatties but I’m afraid it fell short of its usual high standards on this occasion. My husband is gluten free and picked one of the items marked *gfo* on the menu to then be told it was no good because of the bbq sauce. He picked again and was told he couldn’t have that either, again despite the menu denoting it suitable. He was only given a choice of about 4 items from the manager in the end. We ordered desserts, which after 45mins had still not come so at this point we left and just paid for what he had eaten. Such a shame and a disappointing way to end Father’s Day.

Lovely place. Staff were great. Food was amazing. We will be back.

We went to celebrate my husband’s birthday and Father’s Day, and had the best Sunday lunch - ever! The service, food, drinks and atmosphere were all excellent, and we will be back very soon.

Had a fantastic meal. Staff were lovely. Definitely will go again.

Lovely venue. Staff are welcoming and friendly , yet efficient. Food was very good and in my humble opinion value for money. Cocktails are amazing too. Won't leave it as long before we go back this time.

Very easy to book online. Pleasant accommodation and professional, personal service throughout.

Fabulous Sunday lunch the 3 meat roast dinner was cooked to perfection good quality and flavoursome

We treated our staff to a meal out here and the whole experience was great. From the initial online booking, to needing to add another person to our booking. The table and bar service was great, and the menu had a wide selection which suited us all, and a good selection of draft lagers. I'd recommend this place to anyone, and we will most certainly be back again.

The welcome from the girl behind the bar was warm & friendly and she did a good job waitresses along with another through the meal. My husband enjoyed his goat's cheese starter, but the mains were very disappointing. I chose chicken stroganoff which came superheated, obviously just out of the microwave. The sauce reminded me of a packet mix from years gone by..very poor I'm afraid. My husband had beef bourginon. Although the beef was tender and the beans delicious, the slab of tesco part-baked bread stuck across the top of the dish did nothing but to put him right off. The frayed edge down the side of the desert menu where it had been ripped out of a pad was the final straw. Nice ambience but very poor presentation.

We were fortunate to get a table, on spec. What a beautiful place. The decor is amazing, the ambience welcoming and food was excellent. Great value for money too considering the whole experience. Will definitely be back....

Lovely, clean, relaxed atmosphere. Delicious food and very reasonable. Had a wonderful time catching up with friends.

The food was delightful, the decor stunning and the service was smiley & friendly. Couldn't ask for more!

Fab food. Fab service. Fab staff. We'll be back.

I had duck which was spot on. One guest had liver which she enjoyed. The other had steak (note only rump option) which was ‘OK’ We opted for two deserts, unfortunately both ‘sticky toffee pudding’, which was Luke warm and had the consistency of a brick with minimal ‘toffee’ on top. We made our feelings known but don’t think it was fed back.

We visited the pub prior to a planned visit to the shire horse centre next door. We have been to the Alvanley Arms before and enjoyed it so we booked it again. It is such a nice place. The location is great, the interior of the pub is very cosy, the food is very nice and the staff are helpful and friendly. It is the third time we have been to the Alvanley Arms and the shire horse centre this yeat and wish we could go every week.

This was our second visit. We stopped off for a meal on a long drive home. The pub is a lovely environment and very clean, and the service is friendly. Unfortunately the pork belly was dry, and the dish overall was too heavy. I did want a pie but there was no alternative to steak and ale. We were considering a dessert, but waited 25 minutes after finishing our meal with the table not yet cleared before deciding to pay at the bar and leave as there was no server attending us.

We had a Sunday early evening meal. We were impressed with the service and the quality of the food. The portions were large and we would go for the smaller plate option next time. Maybe then have room for dessert. Four of us had the mixed roast diner and one had the vegetarian option. We chose the Alvanley Arms because of the wide selection of vegetarian dishes available. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.
