Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Guests rave about the extensive beer and wine selection, which pairs perfectly with the pub’s hearty meals. The Sunday roast is a standout, celebrated for its tender beef and vibrant vegetables, prompting many to come back just for this dish.
The welcoming vibe and exemplary customer service also earn high praises. Staff members are frequently mentioned in reviews for their friendliness and ability to create a laid-back atmosphere.
The inclusion of outdoor seating by the canal invites patrons to relax and enjoy their meals in a beautiful setting, perfect for those sunny summer days. Dogs are welcomed, making it a haven for pet owners touring the area.
Most Disliked
A few patrons have noted that the food can take a little time to arrive during peak hours, particularly on busy weekends. Though the wait leads to delicious meals, some visitors wish for quicker service.
Another point of contention includes the limited seating during high traffic times, resulting in longer waits for tables. Reserving a spot ahead of time is a smart move to avoid disappointment, especially on Sundays.
While many love the pub's charm, some mention that the decor can feel a tad dated, yet the local vibe still offers a comforting experience overall.

Just had the best Sunday roast in a long time. Lots of tender sliced beef, amazing. Huge Yorkshire and then the part that distinguishes an excellent from a good mediocre experience/ all veg freshly prepared, still vibrant colours and crunch. Non of your wet, been in a warming cupboard for hours mush. Sat outside on the patio and no problem being served there. Definitely be back.

Booked for 6 of us at lunchtime on a Sunday . Loved the new refurb looked great. Yvonne was especially helpful and demonstrated excellent customer service. Food did take a while to get to us but we were not disappointed when it arrived. Absolutely delicious and generous portions. The wait allowed us to have a drink and enjoy good conversation. We will be back 😃

Popped in yesterday for a meal with my girlfriend and our two dogs. Loved the fact it askes how many dogs with you on the website. Very friendly staff all super pleasant and helpful. Food was amazing I had the salt and pepper chicken burger with chunky chips. We had the moulton cheese and bread for starter. My other half had two starters instead of a main, mushroom bruschetta and salt and pepper chicken bites all were absolutely stunning and we had eton mess and sticky toffee brownie sundae also amazing would highly recommend we will be coming back again very soon.

Nice pub, friendly team and fellow customers. Live music on a Saturday night is always a bonus and was of a good level. Didn't have food but seemed good value.

My wife and I only recently discovered the farmers arms - and what a wonderful place and setting it is alongside the canal. We were greeted by very friendly staff and as it was our first visit, we were encouraged to take a look around this fine old building, along with the fabulously new conservatory extension - this is where we chose to have our 2 course lunch for just £14.99 per person. The food was amazing and cooked to perfection. Thank you so much, and we will be back again very soon.
