Avoid Sunday lunch! We all had the roast. The potatoes were almost raw! They had clearly been parboiled then pushed around for a few minutes to put a bit of brown coloring on them. Meat was ok. Gravy tasty. Staff all lovely and helpful. You have to pay extra for veg other than what comes on the plate or in a tiny bowl of undercooked broccoli with overcooked cabbage and peas. Eaten there before and was nice. This time,

Always come here to catch up with friends . The place has had a nice refurb inside making it cosy and warm . Nice menu to suit all tastes and some specials also. The food is good and service prompt. We had a lovely waitress this visit , Cassidy , who was friendly and chatty and wanting to make sure we were happy with everything . Great to see at a time when service in hospitality is a bit hit and miss. One gripe I have is there is always too much stuff on the tables , lamp, fliers, menus, glasses, condiments , side plates etc- feels too overcrowded .Will be back soon .

The pub looks amazing after it's refurb, I live locally and use the venue quite often, I visited with a friend, we had racklette to share ,and a pizza which we shared as they are large , three drinks and a water , The bill between us was £70, I do feel it's a tad pricey, although the place was busy ,service was slow , didn't seem to be enough staff fir a Saturday night

We had previously dined at this lovely pub before the refurb and had a fantastic experience in the restaurant. A friend visited recently and told me there had been a gorgeous refurb so naturally I thought I would visit. We couldn’t get a sitting in the restaurant but booked online for the bar. We were told where to find the seat ( not shown to the table) , told to order from the bar and given the same menu as the restaurant. We chose our roasts and they arrived very quickly . Two belly pork and one chicken. They were placed in front of us with no knives and forks which I had to ask for. A dish of green veg came out and placed in front of us with no serving spoon. So I had to find the young man who had served us to ask for one. Sadly the pork belly we had both ordered had no crackling as advertised ( boo!!) and the side of cauliflower cheese we had ordered had no sauce on - just baked cauliflower with cheese baked on top. The chicken was dry but the gravy was delicious. The restaurant itself was very beautiful looking but we felt the roast itself wasn’t as good as when we had previously visited and to run out of crackling was very disappointing with no explanation. At no point did anyone check on us to see if we needed anything and to ask how the meal was going. I would recommend for drinks but sadly I won’t be returning for food.

Lovely restaurant, second time going here and me and my partner had a roast dinner which was absolutely lovely. Only down fall was the pork belly which I assumed would be a big bit of meat but was just two small strips which I have never had when ordering pork belly so wouldn’t get that again. Had the trio of puddings which was amazing!!!

Myself and three friends went today for there soft launch. For the first day the new look and kitchen re-open the experience was great! Four of us went and starters and mains took a little over one hour. Food was lovely, well presented and the portions were huge. Manager James was lovely and kept us well informed about the kitchen being a little slow and apologised that tables had not turned quick enough so we were sat in bar, which was lovely decorated and cosy next to the warm fire which provided plenty of space to accommodate wheelchair. Only disappointing thing is there is no direct access from rear of pub to garden for wheelchair, which is a shame they did not ramp the rear during refit and there is no ramp to get into garden room apart from that there is good access in the whole bar and restaurant.

I booked a table for 4, when we arrived we were taken to our table. The server did apologise and said that there would be a little delay with the food order as they were fully booked. This was good to know, but not an issue as it allowed time to get to know my guests. The drinks order arrived and until the first course arrived we engaged in conversation, including expressing how impressed we all were with the revamp of the Chilworth Arms. When the food arrived it was well presented and of excellent quality. Everyone who dealt with my table were very professional and courteous. We ended up spending over two and a half hours drinking, eating and enjoying the company and environment.

The renovated Chilworth arms looks lovely, just had to try it. Went last night and had the Caramelised banana blossom stew. Very disappointing, tiny portion of something that was tasteless, not cheap at £17.95. Confirmed to the Waitress and she said she would share with the Chef.. luckily finished the meal off with coffee and mini dessert which made up for a very disappointing main, homily the wrong choice. Great decor, friendly staff however

Just wow! I’ve been to the Chilworth Arms many times over the years (also under its various other names). Having been in for lunch just before Christmas I told my partner we should go for an evening meal so I booked it as birthday treat. My partner has never been, but we were both extremely happy with how the evening turned out! The decor in the ‘snug’ area as I called it was low level lighting and we sat next to the fire it was relaxing and very tranquil. The food was fantastic and the flavours were spot on. Service was brilliant too staff were friendly and attentive! Can’t fault anything and looking forward to going back soon.

Realmente no me impresionó, antes de que saliera la comida, el chef gritaba al otro lado de la barra, cómo tenía que hacer todo, cocinar, servir y limpiar platos. Seleccionamos dos comidas por £ 24 y los tamaños de las porciones eran pequeños. El pescado estaba empapado en aceite y solo tenía un puñado de patatas fritas Todos nos hemos ido de allí, hemos decidido no tomar el postre y vamos a Sainsbury’s en su lugar Muy triste que hayamos dejado hambrientos los cuernos en nunca antes habían sido así. Qué pena. Cuando la noche el chef salió, y estaba jurando al otro lado del bar delante de todos
