    Excellent service and delicious food in a lovely warm atmosphere. Will definitely return. We also had a 3 year old with us and they had an excellent kids menu.

    Really nice friendly service. It was a quiet night when we went (Thursday) but atmosphere was still good. Food was not stellar - but perfectly fine. Would go again, for sure.

    Potatoes seemed like aunt Bessie’s, dinner Luke warm, carrots almost raw. Meat was good. Service was slow, seemed to lack enough staff.

    A quiet night in early January. Nevertheless an excellent menu and service. The food and beer is great. Everything done with a minimum of fuss and a smile.

    Had dinner at the College Arms on New Year’s Eve and it was a great experience. The set menu was great value with a great choice of options. The food was delicious and freshly prepared. The staff were charming and attentive and the service was second to none

    Food was nice when it arrived, but the service was so slow, despite us being one of only 2 tables. Ordered a drink and something different came out. It was also really cold in the restaurant area. We were right next to a radiator but the draft through the windows was cold. Would possibly return, but left feeling a little disappointed

    thank you for your feedback, i will discuss with the team on how we can improve on this and hopefully on your next visit you will see these improvements! kind regards the college arms
