    Obviously a popular place, was friendly and service was good. A fair wait for food reflected how busy they were

    Went here for our first night on our honeymoon! Food was great and the ambiance was exactly what I pictured in my head: cozy, eclectic, and good food. Highly recommend!

    Great restaurant with lots of cozy atmosphere and great food. It took abit long to get the food, but when it came it was great and the staff was attentive and informed about the delay.

    What a fun place to tuck into our first Sunday roast. The roast was tasty and the vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and mashed potatoes were great. Big surprise was the 3-mini desserts served as part of the “shared Roast”: (maybe homemade?) fantastic raspberry sherbet, a warm from the oven muffin and sticky pudding. But none of that was the best part. The best part was our home team ~ the Philadelphia EAGLES ~ was being televised in the two big screens. Eagles won. Go Birds. And thanks for a fun evening at the Queen’s Arms.

    Hi I brought my wife to the Queens Arms bar for a nice meal to celebrate our 53rd wedding anniversary and was disappointed by the choice of food on offer we had fish and chips the fish was nice and fresh but the chips were reheated from earlier and you could easily see they were reheated not nice at all my wife is diabetic and we required sugar free lemonade for her vodka but none not good overall we stayed and ate the fish was nice but did not stay long after that as my wife could not risk more sugar in her drinks we wanted somewhere nice to celebrate our anniversary but disappointed Mr John Balfour

    Hi John, thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We offer the traditional British pub cuisine here at the Queen's Arms - we are sorry to hear you found the selection lacking. Our chips are double cooked, to ensure a fluffy inside and crispy outside, and are always made to order. We also offer a range of sugar free drinks, both on draught and in cans or bottles, so we apologize if this was not communicated to you. We would love to invite you back for a meal on us to make things up to you. Please email gabija.barnard@signaturepubs.co.uk, and we will do our best to improve your impression of us.
