Fantastic pub, fantastic food. You want to shout about it to all, but also selfishly keep it quiet and to yourself. Any of the food at any time of the day is lovely. Friendly staff.

Food and service very good Owners very friendly and food home cooked and delicious We were here on a Thursday evening and every table was full and pre booked so booking is recommended It’s fairly remote and usually full of locals but is an interesting option if staying in the area I’ve never seen Cranachan on any menu before even in Scotland and that was a really nice touch

Impeccable Sunday roast !!! Rib of beef cooked to perfection, heavily seasoned with a good amount of fat. Crisp potatoes, al dente root veg all tied up with a rich proper beef gravy. Fair play to whoever is manning the pans in the kitchen. Worth a venture out for sure, and was super cheap regardless of the quality being served. 🙏

This place is fantastic, a real hidden gem. All the food was fresh tasty and made from scratch, chef obviously takes pride I'm there work. Unbelievable value as well. Family friendly, great customer service and a good pint. We'll be back next time we're in the area.

If you’re in the area and love good food, this is the place to go. Here for a week, our first visit was for Sunday lunch. It was amazing. We had rib of beef, loads of meat, tasted amazing, lots of fresh vegetables. Service was excellent, very friendly. It was so good that we booked to come back on Thirsday night. Food was as great and service again warm and friendly. Highly recommend the scallops as a starter, cranachan as a dessert is just amazing. Our main courses of steak and ale pie, sirloin steak and sloppy joe burger were great, all beautifully cooked. Really worth a visit.

We visited this pub for food after reading other reviews on trip advisor. It was very quiet but well worth it. I ordered the chicken fillet with a mushroom sauce and my partner ordered the sirloin steak with mushrooms and tomatoes. Both came with chips and veg. I can honestly say this is the best food I have ever eaten in a pub, to the point I am tempted to come back for more tomorrow Thank you trip advisor for the reviews that sent us there

Visited as a family whilst on holiday - 3 adults and a 2 year old based on Trip advisor 5* ratings. Whilst the inside may not be particularly special, the food is! We had a selection of dishes with steak pie, chicken and mushroom pie and garlic chicken breast with chips and vegetables and all were very good. The pie crust towered above the plate and we all could have eaten a plate of the vegetables on their own, they were so good. The burger, chips and beans were enjoyed by grandson. Sticky toffee pudding and rice puddings for desserts were also excellent. Service was with a smile, we felt very welcome. The pub filled up with locals towards the end of the evening and they were friendly too.

Had a “last night” meal here whilst on a short break for daughter’s graduation and I have to say, the food surpassed any expectations we had based on other reviews, nothing was too much trouble. Three of us had steak, it covered half the plate and was cooked to perfection - the accompanying vegetables had to stay in their bowls until we’d made space! The other three’s meals were just as good and substantial. Dessert-wise, two had the brownie which apparently was the best they’d ever tasted, two had the strawberry sundae and my father-in-law had the banoffe pie which he said was excellent. All in all, fantastic homemade food and very reasonably priced. I hope more people take the time to try it out.

Picked this place for a meal based on TripAdvisor reviews - it's in a very small village way out in the sticks, but worth the trip. The ambiance of the place lacks a little, but the owners have the place very clean and are very attentive. The menu is limited, but what is delivered is top notch. We ordered Steak and Ale pie and it came packed with really succulent beef chunks in a thick gravy - really tasty. The desserts are good too - we had the Ice cream - Lakeland; which was some of the best I've had. Definitely worth a visit!!

Our first visit to the Joiner's Arms and we were extremely impressed. Excellent service; friendly staff and a good menu. The ham hock and home made picalilli was probably the best I've ever tasted. Fish main course was superb. Service was swift despite it being very busy and prices are extremely good. The pub was rather noisy but I suppose this is is pub and not a top class restaurant although the food is on that level.

Today my friend and I went to the Joiners Arms after hearing about their Thursday lunch time specials . We were greeted by the owner and we sat by the lovely log burner. We looked at the menu and decided to go for the 3 course lunch for £9.95 . The starter was Mushroom and Stilton soup with a lovely fresh warm roll. The soup was delicious. For our main course we had Scampi, which was served with chips and a fresh salad. There was a good choice of sweets - I had the raspberry pavlova - which I must say was the best I have had - the meringue was cooked to perfection and served with lots of raspberries. My friend had the ice cream - which also went down a treat. To top off the meal we had coffee. The whole meal was absolutely lovely and in my opinion excellent value for money. The owners are very friendly and the pub is lovely and warm and does have a nice homely atmosphere. I would certainly recommend the Joiners Arms and we will be definitely be going back in the near future.

My niece & her husband took my wife & I to the 'Joiners Arms' for a birthday treat, It was quite busy being a Saturday night, & I must say the staff coped very well. I had the haggis wrapped in wild mushroom, really tasty, Surf & turf for main course also very tasty, only disappointment was, as I don't like onion rings, I asked for fried onions with my steak, unfortunately got onion rings ( they didn't have time to cook fried onions). My wife niece & her husband all enjoyed what they had. All in all a lovely meal.

My wife & I called here for lunch today, Thursday 25th May. We received a friendly welcome, ordered our drinks & were given a choice of seating, ( Bar or Restaurant), we chose the restaurant which was light & airy. There was a specials menu on Thursdays so we all chose the Steak pie which was very nice & a good portion, it came with fresh veg & chips which were all very nice. Two of us chose the Bread & butter pud, & two chose the Apple & blackberry crumble, all of us commented on how nice they were. There was tea/coffee included in the price, which was two courses for £7.85 & I must say this was excellent value for money. We will be back!!!

Tis pub was closed a few months ago and I had the nasty feeling that it was Game Over. However, it has reopened and for my first visit I was remarkably impressed. To Real Ales available but the real treat was the food: reasonably priced but far better than your normal Pub Grub. Definitely worth a visit and pubs like this deserve support, especially when they do such a good job.

We saw this through trip advisor then linked through to a Facebook web page.2 or 3 courses both under £10 and included filter coffee or tea.Starter was a homemade soup with plenty of flavour and a mini loaf,a few choices for mains fish chips and peas for me,my wife had steak pie and chips with a mix of fresh veg both dishes good value and not a tiny portion.Various puddings we both had cheesecake drizzled with white chocolate and a decent serving of thick double cream(not the squirty variety.The hosts have created a lovely atmosphere(maybe too many comical quotes for some) All in all our favourite country pub near the Solway Coast I hope it remains consistent and look forward to going off the normal menu which didn't look to expensive,wish them good luck for the future.

Settled on Brie sticks and my wife had mushrooms in a cheese sauce that she's still raving about them. She had them in their previous establishment. She says they were even better. Had the steak pie for main and lovely tender meat in a rich sauce -delicious, wife had chicken stuffed with haggis- very good. Only complaint to much on the plate so were not able to have a sweet.

Our first visit to Rathlin Island and of course we availed of The Hungry Seal! The food was absolutely amazing, we were in chippy heaven. The chips are probably the best I've ever had and the battered sausages to die for! The other half had the haddock supper and claimed it was the best he's ever had. Decent portions, the price is up there but not much different than your average chippy to be fair. The girls were lovely and had the food ready in good time. We would take a trip back to the island just for another feed at the Hungry Seal lol 10/10 for us! (Not my picture, found in Google search)
