Excellent meal in beautiful surroundings. Staff were all amazing. So full after having our meal I had to bring my dessert home with me for later that evening. Highly recommend if you haven’t been before.

Best Sunday dinner we have had for a long time

Took my daughter here for her birthday and we had a great meal. The staff were efficient and friendly and took great care of us! We will definitely come back

Very warm welcome when we arrived. Lovely bunch of girls working. Food was good value for money. All very tasty. Only thing I would say is when you do get a chance maybe think about replacing the chairs & sanding the tables, the tables were extremely sticky.

We had a very nice meal last night at The Freke Arms. We had focaccia and pork crackling to start with, the bread was lovely and warm but the pork crawling was quite crunchy. The Cajun burger was nice and came with cheese as requested, but it is worth noting that if you don’t like mayo, the mango chutney sauce is mayo based. The prawn, crayfish and bacon salad was lovely and very filling. We didn’t have space for dessert, but did have a cappuccino and an espresso instead which were both good. The service was good and the pub looked as though it has been recently redecorated. We had a very good evening and would go back again.

Food and service very good.

We visited The Freke under the new management in their first week . We received a warm welcome, the service was very good, despite being busy, and everyone enjoyed their meals. The portions were generous ( the do offer smaller plates too) and there was something on the menu to suit everyone plus a specials board . The interior decor has been refreshed and seemed much brighter inside. We will all look forward to going again.

We had a really special (birthday) dinner & everything from the food, the wine & the service was faultless. Three generations in a family business? That's got to be a rarity in these times: a testimony to their passion & success. Looking forward to returning to try more on the menu....

Took hubby first Birthday lunch on 6th August 2026. I had booked online the night before and we wete greeted very warmly by a lovely blond girl who took us to our table and took drink orders before then taking our food order. We both opted for smaller plate of the Wiltshire ham, egg & chips - wow! If that's the smaller plate the normal portion must be huge! It was delicious, nice very thickly cut tasty ham, chips & egg cooked to perfection, lovely salad garnish which had a drizzle of the most refreshing salad dressing ive ever had....I think it may have been a pesto type dressing? Anyhow, very tasty indeed. We managed to have space for a tasy dessert, hubby opted for sticky toffee pudding & custard while I went for the lemon meringue roulade.....well again, portions were huge and had us beat! The atmosphere was lovely, much busier than I expected for a Thursday lunchtime and the fact its only just reopened. Prices are very reasonable with a good choice of meals on the menu and specials board. The staff are happy, friendly, attentive and polite. The pub itself very clean, smart and comfortable, decor is great. All in all a very welcoming and tasty experience and we will certainly return.

Great service good food great to see it back

Had a lovely lunch on Wednesday great food and good variety on menu. Will make here our regular Wednesday lunchtime haunt. Keep up good work really happy that you have re-opened.

Visited after many happy times with Karen & Dave (oh you are missed). I had Fish & Chips which was excellent. Wife had ham, egg & chips, again very good with excellent portions. Only black mark was no draught Arkles on Tuesday. A little surprised that Arkles allowed this to happen.

Lovely meal chilli and schiztnel. Lovely welcoming staff.

We returned on the opening weekend to a pub we loved several years ago. Sunday lunch was terrific, we both had the vegetarian nut roast, which was delicious, and very generous helpings of a variety of vegetables, served piping hot. After deciding not to have a dessert, my husband asked to just look at the menu, big mistake. I ended up having the delicious sticky toffee pudding and hubby had Baileys crème brûlée with homemade shortbread. Amazing! We will definitely be returning for a weekday lunch.

Excellent service … exceptional food … would throughly recommend this restaurant to everyone,

Hi visited Sunday 2nd Aug for Sunday roast I had the cchickens was plentiful and tasty lovely veg as well very pleased ,However my wife had the pork which was 70% fat 30 meat very disappointing for the price but everything else was lovely would still recommend the pub but dont have the pork.

Lovely atmosphere. Food a little bit dissapointing. Chilli nachos very great. The fish and chips fish better was soggy. The steak was very tough and chewy. Had coffee at the end which was cold which they were having trouble with the machine. I know it had just re opened but we couldnt even get a receipt!!!

Beautiful
