Sharon is a fabulous barmaid creating a great and fun atmosphere. Great food, great craic

Great service especially by sharon

Bought on line food. Was a bowl of mushed up mash potatoes few carrots and peas with a slice of fatty beef on top. Fit for my dog just. Went straight in bin. Never again. Used to call this place the ghastly arms when I was a kid. Lovely memories.

Absolutely love this place. Food is always spot on. Service is fantastic and it's dog friendly which is always a bonus! One of my favourite places. And my little fluff ball loves it too

Food was great, everyone was friendly, Sharon one of the servers were really good with my little boy spoke and played with him. He really took to her.

Lovely staff. Place nice & warm. Got a too good to go bag. English breakfast for £2.50 on the app. You have to park across the road in the car park. You must register your car at the bar or you'll get charged for parking.

Good sunday lunch, and Sharon was really friendly and welcoming, thank you!

First time today definitely won't be our last Food was amazing Cooked perfect. The bloke behind the bar with the Santa hat what a happy cheerful soul he is If I had one criticism would be the tables 10.11 and 12 crammed together Your nearly sat with the next table . Other than that loved loved loved it

Food was fantastic staff were great and Sharon was lovely as usual

We enjoyed our Sunday dinner at the Astley Arms today. The food was delicious, plenty of choice of meats, vegetables. Sharon made sure we had everything we needed, very helpful and kind. Went the extra mile with our daughter who wanted an ice cream.

Nice food. Great service from Sharon

The food is very good, the staff are polite and friendly, and the place very warm and welcoming.and Sharon and Alice were happy and welcoming

Lovely pint and great service by Sharon. First time in here will definitely be back.

Lovely breakfast and great price. Sharon and Alice had lovely customer service and were very attentive.

Sharon was friendly and done a great service 👏 will be back soon

Very friendly staff especially Sharon there to welcome you with a chat and a smile.

Lovely meal and staff, Sharon was excellent. Male member of staff on the carvery was great helping my 83 dad with his plate of food . Time was about 12.30pm

Really good value 2 course meal! Lucy's roast potatoes were fabulous, we'll be coming back soon.

Haven't been since before the pandemic. Do love the changes, alot more variety of food. Ordered the carvery, highly disappointed that the amount of veg to choose from was minimum. Only had cauliflower with cheese, no just normal cauliflower, disappointment as not everyone's cup of tea with a Sunday lunch. No brussle sprouts. Not the most friendly welcome when entering the Stonehouse either. Will not be coming back and won't recommend. Not worth the price.

Brilliant carvery, price and service. Great atmosphere and brilliant staff.

This is an updated review from my original one 3 years ago. I gave it 5* back then and I'd give it more now if I could! We've been a few times and never been disappointed. The food is beautiful. The service is quick. And the staff are some of the best! Sharron needs to be mentioned... She's one of the friendliest and bubbliest people! Always makes you feel warm and welcome 😁 She's so good with kids as well. Our 2 year old loves seeing her!

We had a kids carvery and a standard carvery. Food was lovely and piping hot. Lovely little meal with my daughter. We are regulars so we will be back again

Always amazing food and Sharon always creates such a lovely atmosphere by being friendly and positive. Very kid friendly my little one loves it here

Lovely food lovely service and great service from sharon

Amazing service from Sharon thanks so much lovely food to

Updated Review: Under new management who are friendly and inviting. However vegan burger has changed and not as good as previous offering. So a little disappointed on our recent visit.(03/11/2024). —— Lovely food and service here. Sign of how good the food is, would have added a photo of the burger I had but it looked so good it was eaten before I remembered to photograph it. 🙃 Always feel welcomed when we come and great for the dog as well! Nice to be welcomed as an old friend especially by Sharon!

What a lovely welcome sharon has given me today. She was on hand and helped to the table. A credit to the company.

Amazing food, friendly, helpful staff. Will be back soon.

Dinner was nice apart from Veg which was hard

Super food and great service from Sharon

We dined as a group of 4 and were disappointed with the food and service. The restaurant wasn’t busy, and yet it still took 55 minutes for our food to arrive and when it did, it all arrived at different times, rather than together, so each person on our table ate separately to each other. For example, one of our group ordered 3 starters as their main and each part of their order arrived separately. The beef burger patties were cheap and thin. On the online order, you had the option to remove onions and burger sauce which I did, and the burger arrived with both. No attention to detail. Avoid!

Really good food and service Sharon was really helpful and the lad who served us the food polite and the lady who done the roast potatoes they were the best

Lovely food and service was great. Big shout out to Sharon who was a breath of fresh air, nothing was a bother and made sure our meal was as it should be.

Lucy Sharon and whoever makes the pizzas and the guy who works behind the bar today were fab. Brilliant! The new pizzas are absolutely lovely 👌

A lovely breakfast and fantastic service Sharon made our day,such a lovely bubbly person. Will be back fir sure!

Called in for breakfast and it did not disappoint, Sharon made sure I was well looked after and was such a lovely happy member of staff, certainly an asset to the Astley arms!

Sharon was super helpful, food was really lovely, especially roast potatoes! Relaxed atmosphere warm and friendly.

Always love my carvery at Astley Arms. Think I came after the beef had all gone but still enjoyed a turkey and loads potato veg ...wemt back for veggie seconds ! Today the meal was cool in parts but I still enjoyed it and I know the staff would warm meal up again if I had asked . Sharon looked after me very well ..very friendly and always helpful.

Here on holiday Sharon was the best she made our visit to Stonehouse memorable such a happy lady couldn’t do enough for us nothing was too much trouble a credit to your company Keep up the good work Sharon

Lovely place Sharon was very nice she deserves a nice bottle of wine 🍷 👌 ❤️

Thank you Sharon is really polite and kind and the food is lush -x

Called for breakfast food and staff were good.

The food is amazing as always,always accommodating and even welcomed the dog who got lots of attention, Sharon had the tables cleared supper quick in a very friendly welcoming way, listening to her with a neighbouring table with kids she’s a good value to their team, we will be returning

Have read some very mixed reviews about this place so wanted to try for ourselves. Pub was quite quiet when we arrived, so we easily found a seat and had a look at the menu. Although it was very clean it was a bit shabby in places however looks as if it’s been getting a bit of a face lift. There’s a good range of veggie options available and we choose a ‘chicken’ and beyond ‘beef’ burger along with some drinks. Everything arrived quickly and piping hot and was most importantly, really tasty! Staff were friendly and helpful when asked about further bookings and Xmas, bringing dogs etc, checking the availability for us. Will definitely visit again! PS parking is across the road and you can get it free when you go in and use the screen at the bar! NB We’ve now become regulars here as the food and welcoming atmosphere won out! There’s a nice range of veggies options including Sunday dinners as well as the usual burgers. Team here always make us welcome especially Sharon who always recognises us when we come in and looks after us well! X

First time for Sunday dinner and did not disappoint! Food amazing and staff friendly and helpful, especially Sharon xx

The chef Lucy came out of the kitchen to make sure we were OK and the waitress Sharon kept checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed, great start to the day we will be returning!
