Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly highlight the beef Sunday roast, along with the scampi and burger, calling portions generous and prices reasonable, though one diner found too much fat on a sirloin. The dog-friendly snack station draws consistent praise, alongside friendly, efficient staff and a warm atmosphere. One visitor arrived after the kitchen had already closed for the evening.

“Good basic food - the menu has expanded since the new tenants took over but still typical pub food. However the prices are extremely reasonable. The staff are always very efficient and hepful. The pub has always been very busy when we've …”

“I recently visited The Walton Arms and was so impressed by what a lovely spot it is. It is incredibly easy to spot from the road and while there is a car park, don't worry if it’s full—there's plenty of easy on-street parking nearby. The Atmosphere & Decor The inside is absolutely amazing! It has been beautifully decorated and renovated with plenty of space to relax. You have the choice of staying inside or enjoying their outdoor seating area. A huge shout-out for the attention to detail: the toilets are spotless and modern, and the women's restroom even includes a small basket with sanitary products. It’s such a thoughtful, kind touch that really sets this place apart. Family & Dog Friendly This is a fantastic place for the whole family, including your four-legged friends! It’s kid-friendly and exceptionally dog-friendly. They even have a "snack station" for dogs and some really lovely writing on the wall about our furry companions (check out pic for the heartwarming message!). Service & Timing The staff were incredibly friendly. :) Just a quick heads-up on the logistics: Open: Wednesday – Sunday. Kitchen Hours: Opens at 12:00 PM and closes at 7:30 PM (Sunday it closes a bit earlier at 6:30 PM). The menu looks very interesting and we were excited to try it, but unfortunately, the kitchen had already closed by the time we arrived. However, based on the atmosphere we will definitely be coming back for a meal soon! :) Thank you! ^^”

“Was pretty busy but being a Friday we presumed this is normal for the only pub for a few miles in any direction. Have given a 5 for food, even though I thought there was too much fat on a sirloin for my liking, but on mentioning it to the …”

“Had a fantastic experience at this local pub! The service was excellent friendly and attentive staff who made us feel very welcome. The food was delicious and great value for money. I highly recommend the scampi, the burger, I had the beef Sunday roast and it was very good too. All food was tasty, with generous portions. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed Sunday meal. Plus, it’s dog-friendly with a little station especially for them, offering treats, water, and a dog food menu. Will definitely be coming back!”
