Called into the Carpenters Arms after a long tiring journey from Hampshire and was greeted by a wonderfully presented establishment and attentive staff. Both myself and my wife chose a roast Sunday lunch, mine being pork and my wife's the beef. The meats were tender and absolutely delicious as were the selection of freshly cooked vegetables. Although there was a... More

My wife and i stayed the night and ate in the restaurant in May 2013 and it was one of the best places we have ever stayed in (and we do weekends away very frequently). The staff were very professional and friendly, the food and drinks were of the highest quality. The room iteself was immaculately clean and well equipped,... More

We called into the Carpenters Arms for lunch after a morning dog walk. From the outside the place looks like a pretty country inn but there is so much more to this place. There's a wonderful sun terrace with panoramic views over the beautiful countryside, a really pretty garden, bedrooms that looked really comfortable, a great menu and extensive wine... More

For me, the pub is starting to realise it's potential for being a warm, welcoming, friendly and reliable place to go, for drinks or food. And I use the term 'pub' very deliberately and positively...it is not a silver service restaurant and I don't think they want to be! Having said that, I had been put off after a couple... More

The barmen made us fabulous cocktails- we cancelled our taxi to stay longer as the atmosphere... More

We visit the carpinters regularly for drink and food! , the food is good and it is a nice attmasfear ! But I was disgusted to see I was charged 75p for a shot of lime in the top of my pint of lager !!! When u can buy a Liter for less than that at the supermarket

Popped in for a lunchtime drink, and to check out this relatively newly refurbished 'gastro-pub'. Looked all very smart, but the bar is most unwelcoming, cluttered up with pumps and a huge bowl of wine bottles - definitely discourages sitting or standing at the bar itself. Emphasis - obviously - on sitting down to eat. Staff pre-occupied with admin and... More

The Carpenters Arms is a local to us and would definitely recommend the Magnificent seven! Excellent choice at an even better price!
