The Farmers Arms — Restaurant in England

In a nutshell, it just doesn't get better than this when it comes to a pub experience:

Food: I had the homemade pie and the Sunday dinner and they were both fantastic. Only place where you can find a decent chip nowadays. Very good value for money with affordable prices and great quality. Cauliflower cheese and pigs in blankets is an absolute must with the Sunday dinner. PS: To the previous reviewer who complained about the lasagna being microwaved: If lasagna was made to order instead of pre-made and microwaved you would have to place your order 2 hours in advance. Doh! Drinks: Very good selection of wines (yes they have New Zealand Marlborough Sauvignon blanc) and the red wines are never oxidised when served by the glass, like in many other places. Gin and Tonic served in a Gin goblet like it should. Premisses: The premises have absolutely everything you want. From nice comfortable sitting inside to having a relaxed meal to a games area with more open sitting to socialise like the old days. Outside their beer garden is huge with children swings strategically placed in one corner so they don’t get in the way. There is also heating and a BBQ area. Staff: Super friendly, competent and simply cannot do enough. The place would not be the same without them. Ambiance: Proper community pub. All types of people and ages and everyone...

Went to the Farmers Arms on Thursday as a pre-Mothers Day surprise for a friend. Table was booked for 6pm, upon arrival we were told that no food orders would be taken for 30 minutes as there was a back log which was fine as we would have a drink first and wait. Almost two hours later we, and many other tables, we’re still waiting to be able to place an order with the excuse of “another 30 minutes” being used every time we asked.

Eventually we were told there was a new chef and he was the only one working which was why there was a delay. Whilst usually this would be understandable it was the staffs unapologetic attitude to the whole thing that was the real insult, almost as if they weren’t bothered about nearly six tables worth of customers wanting to spend money on a meal out with friends and family. One chef on shift in a pub as big as The Farmers Arms is just unacceptable and shows poor management skills. Luckily we were walking distance from another pub who were very accommodating to us. Whilst I wouldn’t necessarily avoid The Farmers Arms in future I would advise that the staff and management are given some kind of customer service training and that management out something in place to avoid this happening again eg hire or schedule an additional chef to be on duty during...

0 stars, me and my friends had a meal in here when the gran national was on for my friends birthday. I ordered mushroom stroganoff, it had no flavour and tasted horrible. I sent it back to the kitchen and tried to get a refund or exchange my food for another meal. The bar staff was just ignoring us and serving everyone around us. A new bar man came on and the girl on the bar whiskered something about us. Most probably not to serve us. We didnt kickboff or cause a fuse but it would of been nice for them to acknowledge us and give us a refund or something else. My friend orfered a cheese cake witch they sold out of and she had already paid for it. They wouldnt serve her to and give her a refund. The staff are so rude i will never go back to here again. The food is basic and they shouldnt do a special board if they cant cook it. I will be telling my friends and family about our horrible experience. I never normally complain but i dont want anyone to be...
