  “Burger brilliance at The Lancaster, Desford 🍔 I arrived late. Very late. The sort of late where you’re expecting your burger to have been abandoned, mourned, and possibly repurposed as tomorrow’s staff dinner. But no. The Lancaster had other plans. My burger had been lovingly kept warm, waiting patiently for my arrival like a loyal Labrador who’d been promised a walk three hours earlier. And what a burger it was. Expertly cooked by Slav, who clearly understands that a burger is not simply food — it is a structural engineering project involving beef, heat, cheese and considerable personal responsibility. The patty was cooked beautifully, juicy, full of flavour and sufficiently substantial to make me question whether I had ordered dinner or accidentally purchased a small piece of real estate. Then came the cheese. Or should I say… The Cheese Lottery. The waitress arrived and asked which cheese I wanted. A simple enough question, you might think. But apparently there was a selection, and I was invited to choose my fate. I selected my cheese with the confidence of a man who absolutely knew what he was doing. I did not. But whichever cheesy destiny awaited me, it worked spectacularly. The whole thing was bloody excellent. Great burger, perfectly cooked, generous toppings, molten cheese and, most importantly, the rare luxury of a kitchen that can apparently accommodate customers who operate on their own completely unnecessary time zone. So, five stars for Slav, five stars for the burger, five stars for the cheese lottery and five stars for keeping my dinner warm while I conducted whatever extremely important business had made me late. Would absolutely recommend. Although next time, I’ll try arriving on time. No promises, though.”

  “First time at the Lancaster Arms and won’t be our last! Sunday lunch was amazing, sooooo tasty and plenty of it. The roasties are to die for and the roasted garlic was a delicious bonus. I have to mention the chocolate orange cheesecake too … delicious 😋 We were served by Esme & Ellie who were lovely, very attentive without being too much. Thank you, we will be back 🙂 x”

  “We came in on a whim while driving past and were so glad we did! We had a few drinks outside in the lovely beer garden before deciding to stay for some food. The staff were lovely, friendly and very attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious. We had a really enjoyable time and will definitely be coming back. We’ve also heard great things from other customers about the Sunday sharing boards, so we’ll definitely be back to give those a try too! Highly recommend.”

  “Came across this pub by chance as not from the area. The Sunday Sharing Platter was such a great idea and cooked to perfection. The staff were very attentive, extremely pleasant and couldn’t do enough for us. Will definitely travel the extra miles to return to this fabulous place! Is it?”

  “Got very curious about their Sunday roast as this was greatly recommended by a friend. We went in without a reservation, and even with a nearly full restaurant on Easter Sunday, they still accommodated us. Now if you want a Sunday roast, you have to do it properly— get the sirloin steak slices!! The meat was so juicy and tasted even better with the gravy. The Yorkshire puddings were as big as my face. Don't get me started on the roasties! I tell you these were the BEST roasties I've ever had in my life. Thank goodness the roasties (and greens and gravy) were unlimited because you WILL be asking for more. If my stomach was an endless pit, I'd eat this forever 😮‍💨 I was in a food coma after. 11 out of 10 would go again (and again).”

  “We had a private event for a family birthday. The space was absolutely perfect for what we needed. Was absolutely perfect. Easily accessible for our party. From initially contacting Sharon right through to the day the team have been amazing and very personable. The food was divine and enjoyed by everyone. I'm looking forward to going back to try the Sunday roasts!!! Thank you to Louie and the team on the day.”

  “We had a family Christmas gathering at the lancaster Arms and couldn’t be more impressed! We had the private dining room and Karen really looked after us all afternoon, anything we needed she was right there and explained the whole menu process with recommendations. Karen also made sure we were each happy with everything we ordered and was so attentive we can’t thank her enough! What a brilliant member of staff she made us feel so welcome! Would definitely recommend!”
