  “I heard about this place being fantastic, but what I have experienced on my Sunday lunch went far beyond any expectations I had. I started with Taramasalata and mini romboide shaped pizza dough, a delightful combination that works very well. I paired this with a Brut bubble that was the perfect choice to go with the saltiness of the taramasalata. This was followed by the quail with ezme and Greek yoghurt sauce, the quail perfectly grilled and the sauce so good I had to order bread to mop it up! Another brilliant dish! Then came the pork with apricot and a perfect sauce, topped with a crackling on top, served with 3 side dishes consisting of Friggitelli peppers, a salad with feta, red onion and cucumber, plus some perfectly cooked roast potatoes in a very addictive sauce. This was divine, both the pork and the 3 sides were a masterclass in the art of cooking, each ingredient shone, but, at the same time, harmoniously blended together with the other ingredients to create absolute, precise perfection. The main was paired with a Chardonnay from Bourgogne, another perfect pairing that enhanced everything I ate and transported everything on another level of sublime dining. I ended the meal with their signature doughnut, the perfect ending to one of the best meals I had in my life . The service is absolutely perfect, the waitress they looked after me was incredibly nice, smiling, competent, and extremely efficient. So were all the others that interacted with me. This time I was on my own but I do need to come back as they do a barbecue feast that, to be enjoyed, needs to be shared with at least another person. Thank you guys you were absolutely wonderful.”

  “What a refreshing experience. Plenty of staff my waiter was the asst general manager and quite superb in the attentive service he offered including menu suggestions. My starter was absolutely as good a serving of octopus as I have had. My waiter recommended bread to mop the dressing up and he was absolutely right. My main was the Vendee chicken cooked to perfection with beautiful sauce and veg. Dessert was unquestionably the best creme caramel I have ever eaten. The alcohol free cocktail was a perfect accompaniment. The toilets were "compact" but clean. A wide variety of customers including quite young children. Today took me to 139 michelin stars this was a refreshingly unstuffy enjoyable meal.”

  “The Kerfield Arms is exactly the sort of neighbourhood gastropub that restores your faith in British dining. It’s increasingly rare to find somewhere with such a deep understanding of food and wine that still feels utterly unpretentious. There is a quiet confidence to everything they do, and it shows. From the moment you arrive, the welcome is genuinely warm and charming. The dining room is beautifully considered, the menu is intelligently put together, and every detail feels carefully judged. You find yourself expecting the bill to be rather alarming, only to discover that it represents some of the best value for cooking of this standard that we’ve come across in quite some time. The food was beautifully executed throughout, seasonal, generous and full of flavour, with every dish demonstrating real technical skill without ever feeling overwrought. A truly exceptional local. We’ll be returning before long, and we’ll be encouraging all of our fellow food lovers to do the same.”

  “This is everything you hope for when dining out. The food was delicious, the service was attentive without being overbearing and the decor and atmosphere make this a place you most definitely want to return to and recommend to friends. One of the nicer touches is the acoustic dampening of the room - often the downfall of perfectly good restaurants otherwise.”

  “We had a lovely meal here to celebrate a birthday. The food was perfect, our server Callum was very friendly and attentive, and the pub had a beautiful atmosphere with real candles and wooden furniture. The steak was tender and delicious, as were the lamb chops. Tasty but interesting flavours all around. Great selection of wines and beers, all reasonably priced. The AC was a bonus in the warm weather.”

  “An excellent meal at The Kerfield Arms and a highly enjoyable experience overall. Service was spot on: unfussy but friendly and attentive. The food was the real highlight with Monkfish being a standout but every dish hit the mark. Highly recommended and remarkably good value for the quality on offer.”

  “Excellent Sunday roast in a warm and welcoming gastropub setting. The white asparagus with gribiche sauce was delicious and beautifully prepared. The pork collar was outstanding, tender, flavourful, and perfectly cooked. My only minor criticism would be that the roast potatoes were slightly overdone for my taste. The dessert was also excellent, the English strawberry & custard doughnut was a real highlight and the perfect way to finish the meal. The wine list is impressive, with a great selection of wines. I particularly enjoyed their orange wine, which was an excellent discovery. The service was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, although a little slow at times when the pub was busy. Overall, a very enjoyable meal and a place I would happily recommend.”

  “We had such an amazing meal at the Kerfield Arms for my partner’s birthday tonight. Every single dish was absolutely faultless. We were lucky enough to have the wonderful Ed helping us choose what to eat, and would recommend this place to anybody. I can’t wait to come back and try the ridiculously cheap lunch deal, if it’s possible to get a table. Well worth a special visit.”

  “A Star for the People The Kerfield Arms is that rare beast—a place that actually delivers on the Michelin hype without the usual side order of pretension. Forget the twee. This is soul food, elevated. Yes, the legendary affordable lunch still exists, a benevolent nod to the working man. But it's at dinner where they really showcase their chops. The menu is deceptively concise, almost austere, but don't be fooled. Every single plate is a killer, a testament to what focus can achieve. Catering to all dietary options - the fresh catch is immaculate, the veg options thoughtful and robust. Meat eaters, though, are truly blessed: their aged steak is a magnificent, charred sharing affair that borders on religious experience. But listen, do not, under any circumstances, ignore dessert. Their signature 'whimsical' doughnut is almost mandatory, a playful take on a tuck shop treat. Yet, on this night, a featherlight creme caramel—pure, silken indulgence—was the real star. This is food worth traveling for, unadorned and deeply honest. An essential experience.”
