    A leisurely lunch to celebrate Christmas and birthday. Really tasty food and good service. The pub was quiet but that made for easy conversation.

    Excellent first experience and will definitely return and recommend. I stated that it was my husband’s birthday and we arrived to a decorated table. Food was sublime and staff were friendly and helpful.

    Food was nice for a pub, although the onion rings were overcooked and overpriced and after looking at the reviews I was expecting more if I'm honest. Also there wasn't the same menu on the night that had been advertised on the website. Not overly amused with being put on a table right next to where someone was writing the 'what's on at the Bakers Arms' board. Someone shaking spray cans isn't ideal when it's an anniversary meal ... speaking of which, there wasn't one mention of our anniversary, even though when booked on the website, it asks if it's a special occasion and having stated it was our anniversary I sort of hoped it might of been recognised as such.

    Disappointed with the experience, went for lunch on Boxing Day very limited menu no starters no desserts available had I known this we would not have gone. Servers were very poor, disinterested, made us feel as if we were basically an inconvenience to them. If you don’t want to provide the service don’t open for food … it’s a shame because this used to be a really nice place to eat The food was average.

    Gorgeous pub with lovely food and ambience. My only criticism was the lack of a vegetarian main option; offering a vegan main or a vegan burger is a bit lazy. The goat’s cheese tart starter (which I had as my main) was so delicious - why not offer that as a main and make it a bit bigger? Everything was delicious!
