  “What a fantastic dining experience. The food was absolutely outstanding, and every plate served at our table looked like a work of art. We were particularly impressed by the roast, which came with perfectly golden, crispy Yorkshire puddings. The flavours were balanced beautifully, and you could really taste the quality of the ingredients. I am already planning my next visit.”

  “My family and I revisited the Spencer Arms on Friday, 24th of July 2026, following a disappointing meal the week before. We were invited back by the manager, Kath, to allow the Spencer Arms to demonstrate to us that good service and quality food is at the forefront of their minds when it comes to serving their customers. As promised by Kath and her team, we enjoyed an excellent meal with first-class service, our faith is very much restored in the Spencer Arms, and we are very grateful for the opportunity provided by Kath and the team to give them a second look We were served by Collette. who was very professional, gracious, courteous, and attentive. Collette kept us up-to-date with the progress of the meal, including timings. The pub was busy, but all the staff kept to calm head and worked as a team to serve their customers. Thank you for the opportunity, Kath, your gesture was very generous, and we do appreciate it. We will be back!”

  “After a disappointing meal on 17 July at Spencer Arms we were contacted by them to return back for a complimentary meal free off Charge. We went back on Friday 22.7 and I must say it was completely different service ( very attentive and friendly). Our was presented on the correct temperature plates food was presented perfectly. My main course was cooked to perfection and very hot chips, this was a complete turnaround to before. My family and I will definitely return to Spencer Arms in the upcoming Future.”

  “We visited the restaurant on Sunday 19th July in the evening. It was relatively quiet but this suited us as we could peacefully enjoy our meals. The staff were friendly and attentive and our roast dinners were tasty with fresh vegetables used. The background music was quiet so that we could converse at normal volumes.”

  “Here’s a polished review you could post: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We visited The Spencer Arms for Father’s Day and had such a lovely experience from start to finish. The pub itself is beautiful, with a cosy country-style atmosphere that immediately makes you feel welcome. One thing that really stood out was that we were seated in our own little tucked-away section. As our daughter has ADHD and sensory issues, having a quieter space away from the main hustle and bustle made such a difference. She was able to relax and enjoy herself, and we had a completely stress-free meal with no meltdowns, which means the world to us as a family. We chose the Father’s Day set menu, which offered a fantastic selection of starters, mains and desserts. We all had the lamb roast, which was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. The children’s menu also had a great variety of options. Our two chose the burgers, which were clearly homemade and tasted amazing (yes, I may have pinched a few bites – mum tax! 😆). The desserts were incredible and rounded off the meal perfectly. The staff were lovely throughout our visit. They apologised a few times for the wait between our starter and main course, but honestly, when food is freshly cooked and of this quality, we don’t mind waiting a little longer. It was only around half an hour between courses and was well worth it. Considering we booked at the last minute on Father’s Day, we’re so glad we discovered The Spencer Arms. It exceeded our expectations in every way, and we’ll definitely be returning again soon. Highly recommended!”

  “We visited for dinner on a Friday night and were surprised to find the pub almost empty—which, unfortunately, turned out to be an accurate reflection of the current standard. The Atmosphere & Setup: The table we were shown to was quite worn, with chipped paint, and didn't feel particularly clean. The Food & Availability: The menu is already quite basic, but a massive amount of it was unavailable. The first waiter politely informed us right away that staple items like lasagne and cod and chips were off. When we asked for the specials, we were told there weren't any. Even when trying to order a simple starter nibble of olives, we were told they were out too. For dessert, the cheesecake was also unavailable. The main courses we did order (gammon and a prawn curry) were basic, small in portion size, and honestly, we could have cooked better at home. The curry also had the tails left on most of the prawns, making it frustrating to eat. The Service: While our initial waiter was pleasant, the second waiter who brought our food and cleared the plates was incredibly surly and brusque. Food was essentially dumped on the table, and plates were cleared away before he even asked if we had finished. At one point, he carried a hot bowl strangely in the crook of his arm, looking visibly unhappy with his job. Value: The bill came to £74 for one starter, two mains, one dessert, and two drinks. For the quality of the food and the poor standard of service, this felt incredibly overpriced. We won't be returning.”

  “The Spencer Arms is a lovely spot for a cozy lunch. We visited on a Friday and it was quite busy, but the staff did well. The food is always lovely and freshly cooked too.”

  “Went for lunch and even though the lunch was busy on a Friday afternoon, just 2 staff members won the game! Food is ok and quantity is generous. Being a Green King pub, limited selection of draught beers on tap as expected but a pint of Carling for a Fosters lover will do the job. I have added a picture of mixed bowl of olives which is costed at £3.75 which looks like a can straight from shelves of Aldi. This of course lacks Garlic clunks. House sodas a best. Ordered Cod Pan Fried with prawns and pan fried chicken breast.”

  “I have taken my time to do this review. Mainly because I am extremely angry. While the nearby road was closed we supported this business by coming out of our way to visit. The majority of the time the food was very good. However this time the service and food were quite frankly shocking. I have ordered the same item a number of times , the Butternut squash grill steak. This arrived with no butternut squash and the veg in the plate had not seen a grill. We complained only to be told it was cut backs , on further complaints to another member of staff , butternut squash was bought out in a bowl (steamed or boiled) the first lady then come out and said she hadn't email cut backs and that was how it was. Despite multiple people having heard her. Rude and obnoxious seemed to be her mantra. Eventually they gave us the meal free, but we will not be back and urge others not to go until this appealing woman is removed from this establishment.”

  “Great service and great food! Very polite from the moment we stepped into the front door and the service was speedy. Had the trio roast and beef rib. Both was very tasty and reasonable priced. Definitely beats a few pubs I've been to for a roast and grub! Would recommend booking, as it gets full quick. Will be back again for sure! 😉”
