    Excellent food served by very polite, efficient young female. Very nice wine to match. Beer was spot on and served by a very polite barman who assisted with making sure that my elderly mother was able to navigate stairs.

    Firstly, the food was beautiful and we had no complaints whatsoever with that. The service however, was horrendous. Drinks were ordered and we waited a long time for them to turn up. Hot water in the teapot wasn’t hot so returned but never got a replacement so cancelled that order. Had to prompt for desert menu, slow clearing tables. Very cold inside, had to eat with coats on as did other guests. No apology for long waits or temperature. Not a cheap place to eat and was booked as a special occasion, disappointing. I would like to add it wasn’t particularly busy.

    It was our first time at The Lester Arms and we had a terrific experience. All the waitresses that we encountered were brilliant and the food was exceptional. The location and parking was great. Highly recommended.

    We booked the day before and didn’t have great expectations as we knew it would be very busy. It was, but the both service and food were excellent . We all had Sunday lunch, 1x turkey, 3x trio of roasts.
