    A beautiful traditional pub/restaurant with all the makings of 5* service and dining. However, the evening was detrimentally affected by how cold the bar and dining room were. There was a traditional, well kept fire, all ready to be lit, but unfortunately the manager chose not to light it. Many customers sat with fleeces or jackets on, some asked to move tables due to the low temperature within, some customers asked for the fire to be lit, but unfortunately they were ignored. A disappointing part of our evening, as having a traditional fire, on such a cold evening was one of the reasons for our choice to book accommodation and reserve a table for dining.

    Food and service was excellent but a little spoilt by London prices for a glass of wine and pint of commonly available beer.

    Thank you for being so DOG friendly! We’d already had a horrible experience at a different pub in the area and were very anxious about bringing the dogs in. It was lovely to hear the staff saying it was a dog friendly pub and spoilt our dogs massively. Lovely place and lovely people. Thank you!

    Lunch time menu good for walkers. Friendly Staff, Service was very quick & efficient. Evening menu also great with excellent service again. We loved the welcoming autumn atmosphere of the Joiners Arms after our long beach walks. Will certainly return.

    The food and service was great… It was Friday so fish & chips were had by all. Delicious, especially the fish with crispy beer batter… At close to £20 per serving not the cheapest F&Cs, but it is in a pub setting and it came with extras like mushy peas and mayo, plus I ordered a curry sauce extra… We were all very happy xx

    Very nice pub in lovely location. Very nice dining room and fantastic staff. Food is nice. Good variety. I had the steak which was ok but it either needed hanging for longer or it hadn’t been beaten down it wasn’t very tender. Tasty though. Would go again.
