This afternoon Michelle and I visited the Arms Hotel for lunch. The Arms Hotel is located at. 351 High St Penrith.
When Michelle and I arrived at the venue, we were greeted by Amber who really provided us with a unique experience. This venue today provided us with table service which I have not experienced in a pub before. Amber was more then happy to answer any questions about items on the menu. I was impressed that she checked all the items for sesame so allergy and dietary requirements are taken seriously at this venue.
After browsing the menu, Michelle and I decided to share a starter. We chose salt & pepper prawns. They were accompanied by a bowl of sriracha sauce. The prawns were crisp and spicy, and the sauce gave them extra zing.
I was keen to try the southern style chicken wrap which consisted of lettuce, tomato, Spanish onion and Sriracha Mayo.
This Southern style chicken wrap is a delightful treat for anyone craving a bit of spice paired with classic comfort. The chicken was tender and juicy, providing a perfect base for the wrap. The lettuce and tomato add a fresh, crisp texture which contrasts nicely with the soft flour tortilla. The Spanish onions bring a slight sweetness and a bit of crunch, enhancing the overall flavour profile of the wrap.
Michelle settled on the lamb shanks on a bed of mashed potato. Michelle said that they were delicious and full of flavour and the lamb fell off the bone when cut. The potato was creamy, had plenty of flavour and the gravy that accompanied the lamb shank was delicious.
To finish off our impressive lunch, I decided to try a small flat white coffee. I was not disappointed and the coffee was fresh, creamy, and not too sweet.
In conclusion, we were impressed with the friendly and amazing service we received. This venue receives a ten out of ten. Amber really looked after us and we would like to thank Amber and her team for a very welcoming...
Read moreI want to express just how much I am thoroughly impressed by this place. My partner and I recently went in for a spur of the moment lunch last weekend. From the moment we walked in, we found the place to be very charming. The booths were well positioned and had a nice cross breeze from the front entrance. The lighting was wonderful, and we were greeted immediately by our waitress Tia. We were thoroughly impressed with her service alone. She was well presented, very polite and lovely to speak to. She made sure we had the perfect amount of time to order, and the food came relatively quickly. The food is another thing on its own. The chefs were absolutely amazing at their craft! We especially loved the mash potato, I could just have a massive serving of it alone. It was absolutely the best mash I've ever had. The servings were generous for the cost, and the drinks were brought straight to our table instead of going to the bar ourselves. The place was very clean and the staff seemed to enjoy their work. I can wholeheartedly say that I will definitely be back very soon. Absolutely one of the top places I've enjoyed eating at in Penrith, even Sydney in general! Thank you for such a wonderful experience. Especially thanks to Tia for making us feel so welcome. We...
Read moreFood was fine and price was very reasonable. We were very disappointed with the service. Firstly, we ordered garlic bread and it never came out. Asked to take it off the bill and was questioned about it. Secondly, we took in a birthday cake, they accepted to take it to the back and even offered candles when they bring it out. Whilst we're eating the cake another lady, presuming to be the manager, interrupts us to say next time we cannot bring food from outside. If that is the case, don't accept taking it and offer candles, and also it was more rude to mention it after we've already been eating it. FIne enough if they said it when we arrived but to go through the night without the problem to being told whilst we're already eating...rude. Disclaimer: our table...
