  “Good establishment we stopped overnight on our way to Southampton. Clean, very pleasant staff, convenient, peaceful atmosphere. Spoilt by company policy of not having any specific gluten free products. Staff did their best, no gluten free pizza, pasta, bread for toast at breakfast. Carvery was good but vegetable choice limited as leeks and cauliflower were in cheese sauce and not gluten free. There was gluten free gravy. Breakfast option was porridge made in a pot. Husbands full breakfast was good and good value but if looking for gluten free avoid.”

  “Booked for a carvery on a Sunday afternoon. Was seated very quickly, ordering food at the bar makes it more efficient. 3 meats on offer - Pork, Turkey, Beef. The beef was cooked really well wasnt over cooked which seems to be the norm for a carvery. Plenty of veg options which were all cooked well. Would love to see some parsnips or brocoli. 2 different roasties normal and Paprika. Nice and soft on the inside and a crunch on the outside. Lots of sauce options as well. I like thicker gravy so was a little watery for me but you cant 100% please everyone. Was still very tasty. The staff were all friendly and service was quick. The cracking was a massive high light for me 🤩”

  “The inn was in top shape, the food— especially breakfast—delicious, and the service was attentive. A server, Reg, was quite helpful in acclimatizing me to the area and for delivering excellent service.”

  “A great experience with excellent customer service from James and the team. Nicely refurbished with a well thought out and large accessable toilet. My only suggestion would be a slight reorganisation of the tables to allow clear access to the accessable toilet for a wheelchair user without having to disturb peoples dinner and ask them to stand to make room. Thanks for a lovely meal and great experience.”

  “Best carvery I have ever had here, fast, friendly staff, quick munch, newly refurbished, took my friend here who had just flown over and he said it was a real treat. Definitely worth a visit. Like heinz tomatoe soup like what it says on the tin. Enjoy and keep the smiles and reviews going. Long live the Beach Arms xx This is the 2nd visit in two days, Barry and Nikki were so kind and helpful and the the food was absolutely lovely yet again. 10 out 10 thank you. This is two reviews in one and the man on the bar was also tip top. All staff were friendly and lovely. Nice music and lovely refurbishment.”

  “Very good experience. Staff appeared genuinely friendly and helpful. Food great value and selection caters for everyone. The manager was very hands on, and turned his hand to most things whilst we were here. James a credit to this place- excellent customer service. When we are next back in the area, will definitely revisit.”

  “Interesting. Clean and recently done up. It bills itself as a pizza restaurant and carvery. There was no pizza. And there was no beef. We had two set menus. Cheap but a bit grim really. I had scampi. My partner thought it was a child’s meal. She had the carvery. It was good value really even without beef but the usual frozen Yorkshire puds, potatoes, veg. There was real carved turkey and gammon, however. I also had sticky toffee pudding. It wasn’t sticky and there was no toffee. Bland cake thing with runny ersatz custard style liquid. The staff were friendly and attentive enough, although one was rather bumbling and forgetful, bringing wine when we ordered soda. But they were well meaning and hard working. Srunith asked for a mention. It’s cheap. You get what you pay for. We also had breakfast. Cheap but ok, although coffee/ tea is extra.”

  “Used tge hotel and bar as a stop off from London to Dorset, after riding a motorbike from Manchester. 1st impressions were very impressed and got even better inside with the service at check exemplary. Already had a table booked and had the carvery, which again was fantastic. Enough to feed a horse. The only down fall was tge bed, although, good to have a big bed to myself, it was like sleeping on concrete. I mean, some folk like them hard, but my sleep was very broken, but thats me, I dont do hard beds. Breakfast I took advantage of a bacon and egg barm and some toast and jam. That certainly has set me up for the day. Half a pig on barn and a nice runny egg, fantastic. If I'm ever passing this way again, this place will certainly be getting my custom.”

  “I stopped in for my first English meal on this trip - fish & chips (and mushy peas!?!?). It was all very delicious and filling. I asked about visiting a local village named Oakley (the reason for my stop here); James and Barry were very helpful - Barry suggested I take a 15 minute walk on a footpath instead of driving there. It was a lovely afternoon and that walk was just what I needed! The place has been remodeled and is very smart-looking. I would strongly suggest a minor detour to anyone traveling nearby to say, Stonehenge or Salisbury. As they say, you judge a place in the UK by their F&C, so Beach Arms rates a “tremendously brilliant!””

  “We've just come back from Christmas Day lunch at this venue, and we have to say it exceeded our expectations by some way. Yes, the place is looking a bit tatty around the edges, but the manager mentioned it will be undergoing a major refurb in the New Year. The staff we're in fine form, and every single one was happy, smiling and couldn't do enough for us. The food was pretty much perfect (although we did time it just right, reaching the carvery just as a fresh Turkey and Gammon had been put out) We've already decided we'll be booking to come back here next Christmas, and will no doubt pay a few more visits throughout the year too. Thank you to every member of staff who worked so hard today, so that we didn't have to. It was very much appreciated.”
