Mildmay Arms in South Somerset

An excellent meal. I note there have been one or two negative recent reviews for the Mildmay. All I will say is that our meal was excellent in every way. Excellent service and excellent food. A very enjoyable evening

Visited here on a whim trying to find a nearby place to eat and I can't say I'll return. Ordered the spicy chicken burger... The burger was a butterflied breast with a hint of red flavour (but didn't taste of anything) it/the salad was weirdly wet with water/oil and the bun disintegrated. The slaw was gloupy. The only nice thing were the chips which were classic pub fayre and nice and crispy.

We were in Yeovil for a family wedding and stayed two nights at the Mildmay Arms - The staff were extremely welcoming, polite and helpful. The manager was on hand at our chosen breakfast time to make teas, coffee and toast. The Rooms were clean and spacious and comfortable. The food we ordered off the menu was really delicious and we sat outside in the seating area in the sun which was lovely. All in all it was a great place to stay and I would definitely stay again or recommend.

Stopped here on way to Cornwall , lovely looking place , very clean but most of all very welcoming . We had a lovely lunch. Good food for a good price and excellent service would stop here again

This was a very disappointing Sunday lunch, of a much lower standard than previously experienced at the Mildmay. The meat portions were generous, but the vegetables were very over cooked, and some of the ingredients looked and tasted as though they were from packets. There was no real atmosphere and we were glad to leave as soon as our meal was finished.

I have been eating at the Mildmay with friends pretty much every week for the past 6 months. We have been so impressed with not only the food and beer but also the amazing hospitality afforded to us by Gavin and Rachael. The atmosphere is exactly what you look for from a local pub, always has local characters in the bar and others catching up over a meal and a few drinks. We massively appreciate your efforts in ensuring we enjoy our evenings with you 🙏🙏

6 of us had an early evening meal and drinks. All meals were excellent and good value, especially the steak and ale pie, which 3 of us ordered. We all agreed it was the best pie we had had in years and is to be highly recommended. Staff very welcoming and friendly with excellent service. definitely go back again.

Wonderful pub in Queen Camel, dates back to 1640, my wife had the most generous prawn cocktail I have ever seen, we both had the roast lunches, the cauliflower cheese was exceptional, you could really taste the cheese, attentive service, very nice pub to eat in

Thank goodness the first pub we tried couldn’t get us in! The Sunday lunch here was amazing the lamb tasty and tender no blood. The cauliflower cheese fantastic in fact it was all very good. Will definitely try an evening meal here after looking at the menu . The owner and staff were friendly and helpful cannot fault a single thing👌

A reasonable stopover. Nice to spend time in a pub where locals were welcoming. Having read some of the reviews, thought we were prepared for the church bells but the quarterly striking of the church clock inevitably impacted on the quality of our sleep!

I arrived late due to work but the owners and staff was so welcoming and helpful. I had an amazing meal in the company of some great locals. My room was lovely and very clean. I had to leave before breakfast so the landlady very kindly left me a packed lunch to take with me, all inclusive of the very reasonable price. Next time im working in the area i will certainly return to the mildmay arms.

Lovely proper pub with great food. Menu had lots of choices so there was something for everyone in our party. Fantastic service by all!

Friendly accomodating pub. Very clean. I needed a quiet place to prepare for a job interview whilst on a camping holiday. We stumbled on mildmay by chance. Explained my predicament and that i would be there for a few hours and was welcomed warmly while my son and husband went off to explore some local museums while i studied. I was able to use the wifi and order cappucinos at my leisure and ate some amazing garlic toast and mushrooms for lunch. Super english pub. I know the industry is struggling so please support this one if you are passing.

Great B&B ideal for stop over when travelling up or down the dreaded A303. Lovely people food pub and room in a beautifull Somerset village 1 mile from A303

Mildmay Arms Queen Camel Fish n chips Good Friday, so we stopped in the restaurant for fish and chips. First class service from the waitress Meal cooked to perfection and very tasty, good price with good beer Highly recomended

Absolutely the best Sunday roast at the best price you could find. Had 2 x soup broccoli and Stilton which were rich and velvety. 2 x prawn cocktail which were the biggest ever, so tasty with lots of sauce for me but the kindly left it off for my grandson. We then had 3 roast beef and one chicken. There must have been 5 slices of the best beef ever, with no fat. Rich gravy, roasties, a huge Yorkshire pud, then selection of veg, leeks, peas, carrots, cauliflower cheese, parsnips and another I can't remember. Kids managed a pudding too, a sticky toffee pudding with custard and chocolate brownie and ice cream. The dinner wasn't rushed which was great so we got to spend a lovely afternoon with yhe grandkids chatting and eating, needed a lie down afterwards so full. But that's what Sundays are for. Can't wait for our next visit.

Called in for a Saturday lunch time meal, was advised to book but as we're expecting a couple of large parties, there was no more than 8 people in the pub when we arrived, or the duration, including us. Friendly on arrival, but no offer of desert, bar man was more interested in chatting to a local customer, and waitress did not hang around to ask, she actually was not seen at all after food was placed on our table. Dirty cloudy vinegar bottles questions the overall cleanliness, although appeared clean to the eye.

We received a friendly welcome. The landlord - Ian - went out of his way to find a wine we liked. Had a good pub meal and then over and above any expectations - Ian offered to drive us back to our camp site! Excellent, friendly service from an outstanding village pub! Will return - will recommend! Thank you! X

Very good, bright and well maintained very spacious, clean and the team are friendly, welcoming and polite. The rooms are big and very well maintained with nice furnishings. The restaurant area is a lovely area to eat in. I would recommend that you call ahead to book your table. The bar area is good and have a nice selection of drinks. We all had something to eat and I had the brie wedges, loved it. I'll be going back and I'll be taking my other half for a meal and evening out. They also have a nice and spacious garden that you can sit out in and relax. We were only going in for one and a bite to eat but ended up staying for a lot longer than we had planned. I would definitely recommend that you give the Mildmay Arms a try, you will not be disappointed. And it's a lot bigger than you think.

My husband and I and our teenage grandson had a meal there on Saturday. We had previously only had fish and chip takeaways on a Friday which is always very good and extremely hot. Last night, it was even better, steak and chips, rack of pork ribs and steak and ale pie - huge portions and very hot. Really, really good - thank you all.

We had a lovely lunch (3 adults 2 children) whilst visiting our mother who lives locally. Safety measures in place for hand sanitizing prior to entering. Food was all homemade and delicious, ingredients sourced locally. Staff were very friendly and accommodating!

Great find! Quaint pub in a pretty village. Fresh, good quality food. Friendly staff. Great environment.

Myself and the wife have family in close by yeovil but wanted to stay somewhere close by. chose to stay at Queen camel at the Mildmay Arms ..Ian and debs the landlord and landlady gave us literally the best service, TV in room and the best shower, everything is home made food wise. A hidden treasure

We were staying near by in a caravan park. Walked there (about 25mins) to have lunch and it started to rain heavily. We had a fantastic meal and afterwards Ian, the owner kindly drove us back to the park! He even came back for us in the evening and did a return journey again. Excellent hosts, excellent food and a beautiful pub. The Hamlet of Queen Camel is lucky to have this lovely local pub

We were celebrating our sons birthday and decided to have a meal at The Mildmay Arms. It is a restaurant we have drove past numerous times but never visited. Prior to our meal we had read a couple of negative reviews and were a little apprehensive as to what to expect. Well i have to say we had a lovely evening and the food was superb.

Booked to meet friends here as the outside blackboard advertised 'Pie and Sausage night', indeed when phoned to book were told that it was pie night and yes they had vegetarian meals too. When we sat down and asked about the specials, it was all a bit of a confusion. The waitress said she hadn't been working there long, but eventually we were told there were two pies on the menu and we could have them at the premonition price because we'd seen it advertised! Made to feel like we were wrong.(No sign of sausages!) Just as well we enjoyed our company as after our good starters the mains were SO not good! Two of the pies were black on the rims and had obviously been cooked as sliced pie, (possibly microwaved before going in a very hot oven) one was so burnt all down one side too! They were very salty and the meat tasted of nothing else. The vegetable curry was only half eaten as it was dreadful too, new potatoes and carrots that tasted like they been frozen , reheated and chucked in just to bulk it out. On the plus side .. it was fresh, not frozen veg! On leaving..... the blackboard was still out advertising pie and sausage night! We won't be going again.

We had high hopes having read several positive reviews but the reality was hugely disappointing. The roast pork was very poor, tough and fatty, and came absolutely swimming in half a pint of gravy. There’s nothing worse than not having enough gravy but this was the polar opposite, to the point that we couldn’t even see our meat beneath it, which also resulted in soggy potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. The menu stated crackling and apple sauce but neither were present. There were already multiple vegetables on the plate but we were brought an additional two side dishes, which was very generous but frankly overwhelming. Ours weren’t the only plates that went back to the kitchen half finished so the food wastage must be shocking. These are all simple things to rectify but until they are we will definitely not be returning or recommending the Mildmay I’m afraid.

Needed somewhere just off the A303 to meet family to pick up something we had left on holiday.Well we were glad we had left something behind otherwise we wouldn't of come across this little gem!Two of us had the roast rump of beef, one of us the pork and the other gammon.All truly delicious and plenty of it.The meat and potatoes were plated with roast vegetables and the other veg came in serving dishes.All very well cooked, very tasty and enjoyable, even enjoyed by a fussy teenager.Finished off with chocolate brownie sundaes and sticky toffee pudding.Two courses each and drinks for under £80.Will definitely be returning.

I was recently staying in Queens Camel while working away for two weeks and enjoyed the evening meal at the Mildmay Arms every evening. A fantastic selection of meals at brilliant prices. Great atmosphere and was made to feel very welcome. A huge thanks to Debs and Gavin for everything.

We popped in for a Sunday roast because the place looked nice from the road. Glad we did. Lovely old pub. The food was a simple joy. Both my partners lamb and my beef were double tasty and 👍

Walked to the pub arriving 830pm bank holiday Saturday. Was met by less than enthusiastic staff. Asked for table for 3 for dinner. Told they had run out of food despite advertising a good place to eat. Will not return and suggest others drive on by.

A friend and I were passing through the village when we noticed the 2 for 1 offer on steaks advertised on the chalkboard outside. This was enough to entice us in. The pub itself is a beautiful old coaching inn. We ordered drinks and steaks, no problem. The food came out quickly and looked and tasted very nice. However, it became apparent that there were rather a lot of hairs in both of our dishes. We ate around the majority of them, not wanting to cause a fuss. We did, however, mention them to the waitress, who was very polite, when she came to collect our plates. She was visibly surprised and disgusted. She took our plates and said she would speak to the boss. After around 15 minutes she reappeared and offered us free dessert, we politely declined the offer. This is where things went downhill. The manager/landlord then came over to our table and asked if there was something wrong with our meals, we duly explained the preceedings. He remarked 'well you dont want to pay, so we will leave it at that'. He was getting rather flustered and slightly agitated at this point, which was bewildering as we had been very polite throughout. A discount would have sufficed but he made it very clear that we did not have to pay. We got up and made our way out, thinking that would be the end of the matter. To my surprise as I pulled out of the car park the manager/landlord was stood out the front of the building and he appeared to be taking down my registration number in his notepad. God only knows what he is planning on doing with these details. This pub has such potential and we were confident it would live up to it's past reviews, if only they were slightly more professional regarding complaints it would have.

We stop by last Sunday for a lunch, the place is nice with friendly service the food very tasty. I definitely recommend.

Set in a beautiful village this pub is a deserves a visit. The food is delicious garnished, served hot and quickly.

Such a friendly welcome at this lovely pub restaurant. Food was great and a reasonable price. Staff were so good with our 2 little people (6 and 4) would highly recommend. Lovely family meal for all 3 generations. We came back for a second night!

Attentive and friendly bar staff. Responded rapidly to unusual request. Thank you for the help during brief stop over.

We have driven by many times but never called in. From the outside, you'd expect a warm welcoming old country pub. Quite the opposite: the entrance from the road takes you into the bar with a large TV on the wall, several leather sofas etc and two locals at the bar. We thought of just leaving but decided to stay, ordered drinks and we were directed to the restaurant behind the bar at the back of the pub.

I went with two friends for a catch up and we had a great time. Service was fast and friendly and I would recommend it.

Had a really nice meal, good beer and local still cider too. Good range of choices on the menu and generous portions too.

As attending a family wedding in the local Church we had a weekend stay in the Mildmay Arms. Ian,Debbie and all the staff were very friendly,the room was very comfortable and nicely decorated. Breakfast was great and set us up for the day. As we were out every evening we didn't have an evening meal but the menu looked great. The locals we met at the bar were very friendly and good fun. We highly recommend the accommodation if you are looking for a place to stay. You'll get a warm welcome from everyone.

Ian, Debbie and their staff were very welcoming and provided my friends and I with a lovely meal which looked attractive on the plates and was delicious. Table service was excellent and we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Went in with a group of friends for a catch up, as it's in a good location for a mutual meeting place for us all. However we were very disappointed. The beer was sour and smelt of egg. Having worked in a bar previously, I am aware that this is usually due to dirty beer lines (through not having been cleaned). Left a sour taste in my mouth, after mentioning it to staff they got very very defensive and rude. Shall not be returning back again.

We had lunch here on Wednesday 20th June 2018.

We booked a table for the 4 of us. we had passed many times and on the strength of the tripadvisor comments outside; thought we would give it a try. Big mistake. Sat down at 7.30 pm, order taken eventually 25 minutes later although she did apologise for the delay. Beef curry not very warm, not much of it and served on cold plates. Battered cod and chips; nice cod; but not hot; also on cold plate. Salmon was nice; but also on cold plate, veg in separate dish was hot. Overall very disapointing, first and last time we will go here. We eat out a lot so their loss.

Lovely Sunday dinner late on Sunday afternoon. Large portions for our meal between us we tried Beef, Lamb and Pork all very tasty.

Went for Monday steak night and had an amazing rib eye steak. The staff were lovely. I would highly recommend!

Mother's Day and the restaurant was busy but although we had not booked they found room for us.We had a fantastic beef lunch with all the trimmings,everything was perfect..The staff were first class.

Late Sunday afternoon meal for three people. We all ordered roast beef, when it arrived it was raw! We asked for it to be cooked some more which the lady happily did. The roast potatoes were very good and the staff great. Don't think we'll ever go back as we are amazed we were served meat so raw.

The service was wonderful, Debbie the waitress (and perhaps manager?) remembered me from the evening before and knew what cider I would drink. She called out the chef, Marie, straight away as we had a few dietary requirements in our party of 5. Marie was very attentive and asked my mum who is coeliac and sister who is vegan exactly what they would like, giving many options off the menu.

Met with some friends last evening for a gathering and the menu was extensive, the food delicious. The welcome was great and we will certainly return. (The Steak Diane was scrumptious!)

Came here for a nice family trip and was extremely pleased with the friendly service that we received the rooms were lovely clean and very spacious with everything you need for a relaxing stay. But the highlight was the food and the service. We were shown to a table straight away. There was a lot of choice on the menus and the portion sizes were great. I chose to have the steak which was cooked perfectly. After we finished eating we moved to the bar area where we relaxed on the sofas for a few drinks before heading to back to the room. Great place in a great location. Would recommend to everyone :)

We cannot believe how anyone could give this 'establishment' anything other than a poor review. We are struggling to remember when we attempted to eat such an awful meal and we have failed. We had a light lunch so the cost was not great but even so it really was not even worth the amount paid.

Dropped in for a Sunday lunch on the way back home. Friendly inn. The starters were tasty enough and then he mains arrived and were cold. My fish en Pape still had unmelted butter on top! My partner's roast chicken was also tepid and he said afterwards that his soup had been the same. They did replace the food but no offer of a free drink or any other compensation was made. Very disappointing.

First impressions of the Mildmay was actually good when you step in and are greeted with a friendly face and a quaint decor. A sign outside proudly boasts 'Award Winning' food. Sadly, that's where the good part stops.

A group of 4 of us went for a meal on Friday evening. When we walked in the waitress asked...

Staff very helpful with prompt attention but food rather average. The chicken piri, chosen because I love the dish was...

Piccolo vecchio pub inglese, trovato per caso durante un trasferimento, con ampio parcheggio sull'altro lato della strada. Porzioni non enormi...

Host was very pleasant and accommodating of us, a seven year old and puppy. Food was well priced, quality and quantity very good. Happy to come again if down again!

Vine aquí para el almuerzo del domingo, habíamos estado viajando todo el día y sólo quería un sándwich bien, sin duda! Sandwich de gambas estaba llena al máximo y tenía una preciosa con limón. mayo

Very relaxing atmosphere with ample parking across the road in Queen Camel. Excellent service with good food and a good variety on the menu. Prices are very reasonable with a good choice of wines.

Food good and plentiful. Everything clean and well presented. Only comment would be that decor and surroundings a bit stuck in the 80's. Could do a lot more with the place but seems to be fairly busy anyway.

We have visited this place twice now for lunch on our way to the coast. Spotlessly clean, accommodating staff and good quality food.

Service good, atmosphere tranquil, food very good, warm and friendly on arrival, would recommend for a lunch time visit or evening meal in restaurant .

This pub serves lovely food and has very friendly owners and staff. I had the burger which was delicious, also excellent chips. My wife had ham egg & chips (minus the egg because she doesn't like them, kindly replaced by extra salad) which she enjoyed, thick slices of very nice ham. It was all well cooked and presented. Had a few pints in the bar afterwards and a good chat with Ian(woody), we even got a lift back down the road! Will visit again.

Lovely inventive lunch menu with some mouthwatering choices. I have eaten here on a number of occasions and have never been disappointed. The landlod and his wife are both very welcoming. On the first occasion we arrived with my wheelchair bound stepfather and the landlord went to great lengths to make sure we could gain entry to the bar area and moved furniture around to accommodate us so that we could have a meal.There is also a separate restaurant area. For those wanting more simple Fayre there is also a menu with all the usual favourites. Dogs are welcome in the bar areas, always a bonus for me and my four legged friend. She knows that the landlady keeps some doggy biscuits!

Stopped off here as passing and looked nice from outside. Very friendly staff. We stayed in the bar area as was told expecting a coach load in the restaurant. Food was amazing my wife had chicken and chorizo pie with garlic mash and pea purée and I had Cumberland sausage ring on bed on mustard mash and onion jus. We also had two lovely deserts. it was all defiantly above pub average and wouldn't of been out of place in a nice suburban chic restaurant if you are every travelling or staying in Somerset or near the village of Queen Camel then recommend try it out we will one day.

went here for a meal just the two of us. Very quiet with only one other table in use. Staff friendly, meal lovely would like to visit here in good weather to sample the outdoor seating. Will go again.

Had an impromptu lunch here on Friday. Mussels steamed in cider with chorizo. Served with homemade sourdough bread. Absolutely spotty dog.

Although we were the only dining customers on a Wednesday night it was a great meal! Fabulous Calamari - great chicken - but sadly lacking in ambience/atmosphere

The board outside said their Sunday roast was Best in the West and that it was £8.95 but if this is the Best in the West then I would not want to see the worst and it is actually £9.95 when you come to pay. On the plus side the staff are friendly and accommodating and the place is warm with a real log fire. We chose the 'slow cooked' pork which we thought should be lovely and tender - wrong! Parts of it were tough and we didn't think it was freshly cooked. The best thing about the meal was the roast potatoes and they weren't that great, the rest of it all seemed to have been pre-cooked and then reheated. Sadly it was all a bit mediocre on this occasion.

Swept in for a late lunch on a quiet Monday in January and was provided with a delicious piping hot venison and mash, Then it was not too much to have fresh custard with a fruity pear and plum crumble, Thank you Sally and the chef !!!

We booked a meal for 23 of us to celebrate Christmas, now with 23 catering staff all in high spirits I felt quite sorry for them but they did a fantastic job, all orders correct, food was fab and we bought the atmosphere! I apologise for the champagne glass breakages but he honestly did trip! I hope we didn't spoil the meal of the other 4 dinners that were there when we arrived! Thanks Ian your team did you proud, we know how hard it is but we had a fab night, only problem now is we want to come back......!

We visited the Mildmay Arms in Queen Camel for Sunday roast and had a great dining experience. Staff were friendly. We were greeted at the door and food/drinks arrived promptly. We were given a different table because we had our baby with us which was really accommodating. Atmosphere was lovely. Great decor and lots of diners coming and going. Food was spot on. Roast beef was tasty and cooked well and so was the belly pork. All the sides and vegetables that accompanied the dishes made for a lovely traditional roast. Deserts were lovely too, although didn't last long!Downside: the knives were pretty useless and we had to ask for steak knives to cut the beef. May sound petty but every member of the family who had beef struggled with the knives. We would go back for roast here again. Only confusion with the roast is it states £8.95 on the board outside and on the menus inside £9.95. We didn't grumble as the food was great. But maybe something to alter or make clear to customers.

as we were in the area again, we decided to have lunch at the Mildmay Arms after enjoying a good meal last time. we were again looked after exceptionally well by Ian and Debs and enjoyed an excellent meal in very good surroundings. Our friends who had not been there before, were so impressed they have decided to book a weekend up there in the spring.I don`t think you can say anything better than that

Food was average, everything seemed to be fried which made it very greasy and made me feel very ill. Steak was lovely but no vegetables with it, fried battered potatoes aswell as fried battered onion rings which were very greasy and sickly. Overpriced for what you get.Lack of atmosphere but friendly staff.

We passed the pub on our way to the Haynes motor museum and decided to pop in on our way back. We went in and it is a lovely village pub, the building is beautiful and the staff were so friendly and the drinks were well priced. We decided to get food, we were directed to seating in the restaurant and ordered the shared Camembert fuor our starter followed by the pork belly and rib burger for our mains. The food was all lovely presented and good portion sizes. The food was very well priced for what we received and the staff were extremely friendly making sure we were happy. They went above and beyond expectations. Would thoroughly recommend to others, they also have rooms which are very well priced, if we are down this way again we will definitely be staying there.

Very rude landlord, not a pleasant atmosphere! Fish and chips very greasy and tasted like they were cooked inold, overused fat!!!

Upon driving past this pub it looked lovely from the outside, and especially seeing the board outside saying 'Best in the West'. So I entered the pub and a small bar was on the right so I went in there. I waited at the bar then was told to go through to the restaurant. This was back out of the bar and up some steps. The lady looked at me as if to say 'what are you doing here', but nothing was sign posted or labelled, and even the entrance is questionable as there is a wall in front of you when you walk on. I felt as if I had walked into somebody's living room uninvited to be honest. I went to the restaurant and was seated with my friends. The bar tender lady was very grumpy and didn't smile once, I felt very uncomfortable, but obliged to stay as we were already seated. We ordered food, portions were too small, very bland, but waitress was attentive. I can honestly say this was NOT anywhere near the Best in the West. Very strange place, layout is awkward and decor is very very dated and a grubby. The signage and exterior is very misleading. Would not return.

Just had dinner with my 3 year old son and it was a delight. The menu is refreshingly uncomplicated, freshly cooked produce with a focus on locally sourced!An absolute gem on the menu today, is Devilled lambs kidneys on a thick slice of toast. Perfectly cooked and 'devilled', a wonderful treat that is hard to find these days - be a 'devil' and try it, you won't be sorry!The Spiced Creedy Carver duck dish was suptuous. Lovely, tasty, and tender duck breast, with a confit leg wrapped in pastilla, (pastilla is originally a Moroccan small pastry pie, often a starter - in the Mildmay example, think filo pastry spring roll but so much better when filled with the confit leg!) The accompanying veg were a joy to the pallette - perfectly cooked and lightly charred cauliflower with roasted squash and a baked onion which was halved and scalloped, and used to contain the beautifully rich jus accompanying the dish.All in all top notch.The hosts are attentive without being sycophantic, and friendly without trying to be your long lost friends. The character and rustic charm of the building has been refreshed with a nod to its original feel and the overall atmosphere is cosy warm and inviting.I'm infamously picky my friends advise me, but this time I can find no fault!

Four of us went for a meal last Friday which had been booked,,and we do live local.The menu is limited,and had a problem getting the waitress to understand a very simple order from the menu,in fact took 2 visits from her to get it correct,even the drinks order was simple but still came wrong.We eat out a lot and all of us are retired.We did get reminded of fawlty towers.The steak meal was very very expensive and the chips said to be triple fried were certainly not.

lacking any warmth, personality or charm found the food uninspiring and lacking flavour, we were not welcomed and it felt like we were unimportant, so will not be returning, such a shame that customers feel that way.

Nice village setting. Easy access to A303. Good quality and value sunday roast. Families welcome. Generally a good all rounder.

A great small friendly pub with great staff and customers.We had the best fish and chips for years and the rest of the food looked good as well

Stopped here for dinner not impressed with food was cold . With no attention to detail.and the last persons dinner on the floor. For the price exspected alot better.The place lacked warmth the owner came across not very friendly .Will not be returning.

I have to say, the owners have transformed the prior dump into a great pub. You can dine in the restaurant and have peace and quiet or you can sit in the bat have fine ales, great cider and horse racing on the large TV.Great idea, they should be applauded for what they have done for Queen Camel, I could issue a couple of niggles, however how can I, they have transformed the place. On a final note the locals are looked after, free food in the bar, it's made fresh and served to the punters. Spot on.

Not sure if this pub has had a change of ownership since our last visit app 6 month ago, however this visit ( Thurs 25th August) was most disappointing.Firstly the "welcome" was distinctly lacking in warmth. and then we found the lovely varied menu had been changed dramatically, nowhere near the selection of meals to choose from. We settled on fish and chips, which was over priced at £12 and certainly underwhelming, especially as the fish definitely was not fresh and the salad served alongside was covered in brown slime - a distinct lack of attention to detail. We did mention this to the waitress who apologised but did not seem unduly concerned. We paid the bill and left but definitely shall not be returning.

Our food was presented to us in good time by Sandra, lovely barmaid, the food itself was incredible! Almost indescribable! So tasty! Facilities as always lovely and clean! 100% xx the

Our first visit to the Mildmay Arms was on a Monday, where it was two steaks for price of one! A very good meal beautifully cooked and very enjoyable. Our second visit on a Saturday evening totally different a week later NOT GOOD Potato Dauphinois not seasoned, pork loin very tough all very disappointing and we were not asked if we enjoyed the meal infact we were avoided! Sadly no further visits!

Poor Roast beef potatoes wernt even roasted tasteless not enough gravy.pushed out the door early was suppose to be private function until four pm but rudely started cleaning floor and moving furniture in and out... And the worst thing was I kept seeing a dog in the kitchen how vile?!!

A quite Thursday evening - not busy for the chef. Our choice was made from the main menu, we were not told of anything on the menu that was not available. Two of us ordered mussels, the other rump steak. We were then told that the mussels were not available, so had to make another choice. The chosen food arrived, which was acceptable - the small salmon dish was not served with any seasonal vegetables and the rump steak was 'rare' - but at less than 1cm in depth, hardly seemed rare. The coleslaw served with the burger was crinkling at the edges as it was so dry. The chef did his best with the food available to him - I guess that on a quiet Thursday, you get given what is left in the store cupboard. We ordered dessert, ice cream and a cheese board and a coffee: the coffee came very promptly but the ice cream and cheese board took 20 minutes after the coffee to arrive. I think the cheese came from the local shop and the ice cream must have been frozen solid to allow twenty minutes to be edible. The meals are usually great - but what a let down tonight

Self, hubby and step son booked last minute for Sunday lunch as I pass this pub twice a day on the way and back to work and always fancied popping in. I'm so pleased they could fit us in as it was the best Sunday lunch since my mum's. The meat was beautiful (beef of course), the gravy was exceptional and deep and rich and lots of it and the Yorkshire pudding was huge. There was a lovely selection of seasonal veg but I couldn't manage that although hubby and step son polished it off. We did however have space for a little dessert which again was lovely. We will certainly be going back. The outside area is really nice and big and will be lovely on warm evenings (or days). Wish it was a local as would be in all the time.

We enjoyed a meal and a few drinks at the Mildmay Arms on a recent stay in Queens Camel. The staff were friendly as were the local customers who made us feel welcome. The food was very good although we did have a few issues with a number of things being unavailable. Nevertheless, the food we had was fresh and tasty. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

We stopped at the Mildmay Arms looking for a meal. It is on a fairly busy road but there was parking on both sides and a pleasant seating area at the front. It is an attractive building so we decided to take a chance. We were pleased with our decision.The present owners are fairly recent and have worked hard to create a welcoming place. Food is cooked from scratch and our meals were delicious and well worth the wait with fresh vegetables and chicken you could task. The pub does not keep food in freezers and has daily deliveries and the quality was obvious.During the wait the host indulged my interest in the history of the pub; it was early evening so perhaps he would not always have the time to spare but he took us out the back to see the walkway to the church and the houses lining the walkway two of which had tin roofs having been listed after the way when they had been damaged by a bomb.The pub seems to have been popular with jockeys and there were a number of photographs of people even I recognised!Should you wish for an excellent meal and enjoy information about history (which I asked for rather than having it imposed on me!) I am sure you would enjoy this pub. There was a television in the front bar but a much quieter atmosphere in the back and there was also a small dining room. It was possible to have bed and breakfast. One of the questions below is if the pub serves "pub food". I always think that implies a lack of quality which you will not find here.

Have eaten here twice recently & both times have found the food to be faultless.Large portions & absolutely delicious. The two course deal is great (mon- wed) with delicious puddings also.Am yet to try a roast but is on my 'to do' list Warm & welcoming pub.Would recommend

even better than our first visit. the owners remembered us and started our drinks as they saw the car park. really nice touch. food and service 5 star. roast was amazing lovely rear beef and huge portions. see you on our next hols

great open welcome. stopped for lunch whilst travelling the a303. amazing food fairly priced we will be stopping on the way back up. i had fish and chips and my partner had the home made pie they were both great quick and great service Thank you !!!

Went for overnight stay fantastic accommodation first class food great service wonderful atmosphere would highly recommend

Rude unfriendly staff. Made to feel very unwelcome. Half the menu wasnt available. Some of the food was missing from our order and some was completely wrong.Loud and rude locals staring while we ate wasn't good either. Very expensive for the quality.

Went for lunch, two of us had roast, which was fine, two had fish cake, which did not look inviting or have any taste.for sweet two of us had sherry trifle,which we had to send back,no taste to it plus one had a dark course hair in it ! one of us had sponge and custard, which was sent back as the custard was full of lumps ! eaton mess was fine. Had to ask for reduced payment on the tow meals that had no sweets. would not go again.

The pub has a nice atmosphere with an open fire. The service was efficient and friendly and the food was good. We ordered a roast. It is an ideal stop for a nice meal on the way back to London.
