Popped in for a meal one evening as we hadn't been for sometime. The menu hadn't changed since our last visit and the meal we had was average. We found the service slow and staff behind the bar were certainly not on the ball. Although the food may be good the cleanliness throughout leaves a lot to be desired and needs to be addressed. Cushions were stained, tables dirty with beer stains which hadn't been cleaned and dirty beer glasses left on the bar counter. Added to which the windows were really filthy.

A lovely cosy pub, nice for families with children. Food was exceptional, I recommend the stone bass & then the pannacotta for dessert! I went there with my 3 children all under 10 years of age; our waiter was very attentive & patient with my kids. I don’t know his name, but young lad with shoulder length hair, gave us superb service, even though he was the only FOH staff that evening. Highly recommend!!! Would go back again!

1st visit here. Good location, just outside Burford centre. Plenty of parking. We arrived in the dark so can’t comment on the garden etc. staff very friendly and welcoming. Good menu, good range of drinks. Steak was very good as were all our meals. We sat near the log burner which was very welcome as we had been out all day in the cold. Would recommend to anyone seeking a decent meal and good service in the area.

A very traditional atmosphere in this pub. The food is good and they have a good variety of drinks. Dog friendly with treats on the bar and bowls of water. A cosy place to be in the winter with a log burner going and there always seems to be plenty of customers here. Certainly one of the better establishments in the vicinity. Could do with being re decorated is my only negative.

We had arranged to have lunch with some friends and decided to visit The Carpenter's Arms after a lovely meal a few months ago. Once again we’re very impressed by the food, ambience and friendliness of the staff. We will definitely be back again as the menu has many more options to try, but my favourite this time after a lovely roast was the Apple and Blackberry crumble - gorgeous!

Firstly I must say the food was nice and was a fair price. I asked for a large glass of Merlot and was given a Sangiovese I was not advised of this, hence I was too happy with the wine. But did drink it. I did not realize until I read the bill after departure the wine error, at the time I just thought it was possibly a less expensive wine., £8 for a large glass. Very disappointed with the condition of the table and the cover of the window seat could do with a good wash or replacement.

Great food, beautiful pub and friendly staff. Unfortunately when the bill came we were charged £20 for what we thought was an £8 soup. We asked if we could have the soup on the starter menu as a main, and were advised to order bread separately. It was only when the bill came that we noticed that we were charged for double the amount of soups we had ordered. When we questioned this we were told that as we had upgraded the soup from the starter to a main they had doubled the price from £8 to £16 + £4 for the bread. £20 is very expensive for a bowl of soup and bread, especially given this is more expensive than the half chicken on the menu for £16 - feeling ripped off :( A shame as otherwise this could have been a lovely lunch.

My wife and I spent a week in Burford and this absolute gem is well worth seeking out. It's about a 10 minute walk from the centre of Burford or a short drive with a sizeable car park. We enjoy fine dining and this compared very favourably with any Michelin experience we have had previously. The fish was superb, the ale is well kept and the suggested wine pairings for the desserts spot on. The staff were attentive and friendly and the prices very reasonable. We would certainly return

Staying in Burford and have been bit disappointed with the pubs on the high street expensive and poor beer. Walked up and had a drink at the carpenters. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff expected to pay a fortune for our drinks but cheaper than Burford high street and good beer. Went back for lunch for a sandwich it was excellent i had the steak baguette it was delicious and you got a side taster of cauliflower soup which was so tasty. We have booked to go for dinner would definitely recommend it is worth the 10 minute walk from Burford high street.

We had some great meals in the Cotswolds during a recent stay but this one was so-so. Went on Thursday night for "grill night" but 4 of the menu items (all fish) were "unavailable due to the weather" (it was unseasonably warm but not sure what this had to do with anything). The food we ordered was not bad, just bland. Wait staff was very friendly and sitting outside in the tent was nice. We just had better meals elsewhere.

The weather was horrible, but we are still not comfortable eating inside anywhere yet, so had a table in the garden. We were sheltered from the rain and wind, had patio heaters and blankets and had the best afternoon we have had in a year.The staff are welcoming, efficient and friendly.

The large covered outside dining area, with heaters and blankets, was great for a 3 generation family visit. The food was from an upmarket bbq menu, which was tasty and filling. Good beer too, and all combined with friendly, attentive service. Will visit again if in the Cotswolds.

Having wandered around the Cotswold Wildlife park, just before the heavens opened, we thought we’d see if there was availability (given COVID and half term no guarantee). We got lucky, and had a fabulous meal and experience!!! We were cutting it very fine (with the kitchen closing at 1400) but the staff and chef accommodated us with no fuss. The service was very friendly, the food was very very good and the Halloween themed entertainment for the children (pumpkin carving combined with a charity donation) was inspired.We had fish and chips, sausage and mash, a burger (which was amazing), sticky toffee pudding, crumble (all the autumn fruits) and a panna cotta - portions were perfect and everything was polished off!!! In all, a great experience and somewhere I can’t recommend enough!!!

Visitamos Burford la semana pasada. Durante un paseo por la zona, una señora amable que vimos cerca de la iglesia en Fulbrook mencionó The Carpenters Arms. Ella elogió la comida, así que decidimos hacer un desvío y parar allí para almorzar.Bueno, ¡estoy tan contento de haberlo hecho! Somos vegetarianos y estamos acostumbrados a las opciones de comida promedio, especialmente en los pubs. Teníamos los tomates heritage como entrante y algo de pasta como plato principal. ¡Ambos sabían divinos! Rebosante de sabor. El estándar que esperaría de un restaurante de primera.La pareja que nos atendió también fue encantadora. Es una pena que vivamos tan lejos o seguro que seríamos habituales.

We found The Carpenters on TripAdvisor, reviews were brilliant so we thought we would try it out whilst visiting Burford. We arrived much earlier than our table time, but decided to have a drink 1st - We met Ryan at the bar who was great, he explained we might need to wait for a while as it was really busy for our food - which was no problem due to how early we had arrived. We were seated in the conservatory after he had helped us with a local gin and beer choice - and they they were excellent choices! He was very attentive throughout the service, keeping us informed and gave us another great English local sparkling wine choice - beautiful! Then the best bit - the food! We have rarely eaten such a good Sunday lunch - the beef was probably the best I’ve tasted on a pub menu - it was absolutely beautiful - the starters and Fish main dish were also amazing.As a previous recruiter, for a large pub company, the staff here were amongst the best I’ve encountered anywhere!

We are a family of mixed ages and they have something to cater to for all, I have a 1 year old boy who absolutely loved the garden with all the toys on offer , it’s safe and child friendly, meaning the adults can relax and enjoy the gorgeous food and drink on offer. There is also a gorgeous kept beer garden where we ate on both occasions which has lovely furniture which is so welcoming and clean. What a absolute gem.All staff at the carpenters arms are brilliant, lovely and friendly and very helpful, Ryan who is front of house went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time from start to finish , catering to all our needs immediately, his lovely smiley face with 5star customer service made our experience wonderful.The food we have had over the weekend has been incredible, both times we visited we had 2 or 3 courses , ranging from delicious fresh salmon with homegrown herbs from the garden , burgers and a gorgeous Sunday dinner and many more dishes from the delicious menu they have on offer ! Everything we have had was incredible, fresh and so tasty. The food here is cooked fresh to such a high standard, gutted we don’t live closer as this would 100% become our favourite place to eat regularly!Thanks to all at the carpenters arms for making our Cotswolds weekend incredible what a absolute gem of a pub!

The food menu whilst not cheap was outstanding. The confit salmon and braised octopus starters were presented nicely and were an absolute joy, fish n chips thoroughly enjoyed by the kids, no kids menu, but they're happy to do smaller portions. I stopped on two consecutive days, the small menu changed, telling me they have a high turnover of produce and specials, the fish in particular was wonderful. Lamb rump was cooked beautifully with seasonal veg and an outstanding gravy. The management and chef obviously love their craft and it shows, I would return without hesitation.

We chose this pub because of a halfway location for a family get together. We were certainly very pleased with the choice . Great food and really welcoming service. Everything felt just right. The pub also had a good atmosphere which was helped by locals calling by. We'll certainly be back.

This historic pub/restaurant was taken over by new tenants last summer and this was the first time we had eaten there since they took over. The food was delicious, the service prompt and attentive and the prices reasonable. What more could you ask for?

We called in for dinner as stopping at a B & B in Fulbrook and The Carpenters Arms was recommended to us. We were not disappointed! Beautiful food, inventive and delicious and not ridiculously priced - lovely, friendly staff also.

I ate here for a late lunch, we had a beautiful plate of roe deer with red cabbage and dauphinois potatoes, and a curried monkfish with onion bhajis and charred cauliflower. Both were absolutely stunning dishes, the pub has a lovely family atmosphere and very dog and child friendly.

Wednesday grill nights are now a permanent fixture in our calendar. Beautiful fresh fish and meets grilled to perfection. Great wine list and quite frankly the best cauliflower cheese I have tasted. Warm friendly welcome.

If you want to taste Michelin star quality food then make sure you book yourself into the next feast night at the Carpenters arms. Five courses of gastronomic heaven. I have eaten at every feast night since they started and they never fail to impress. Choose the matched wine for a truly special evening. It can’t be long before these guys get their first rosette for their food. The last time I ate there one of our party who doesn’t drink wine had her own gin paring menu crafted for her to complement each course, wonderful. I can not recommend this restaurant highly enough.

This was our first visit to The Carpenter's Arms and it won't be our last! We arrived to a warm welcome from the staff, and enjoyed a fabulous meal. Some of us chose from the smaller, fixed price menu, and some from the a la carte menu - and none of us could fault the food.

Stopped of here on way back home for lunch. Wasn't quite sure of its location but it was outside Burford to avoid the chaos of town centre. The assistant (I think the owner) served our drinks and took our order for drinks and food. Food came relatively quickly and was cooked as i requested (duck = pink!). Very tasty as was my wife's

Dropped in for lunch to be met with an empty very cold pub, no fires on and heating barely taking the chill off, no music, no staff! Eventually someone came and gave us 2 dirty menus, (I would have left at this point but my wife suggested we stay and try the food that everyone raves about). We ordered a pint of the only ale they had on draught and a glass of white wine, both very sub standard! We ordered the burger and for £14.00 each I would have expected a little more than a few leaves of lettuce and a small saucer of thin fries, the burger had some onion relish underneath that had obviously been taken straight out of the fridge rendering the whole burger as cold as the room we were eating it in!!!

A large group of us had lunch at this pub and it was outstanding. The cosiest, warmest and most welcoming pub we have been to in ages. I just wanted to sit in front of the fire all day! £20 for a three course lunch which we could not fault. The new owners are a delight and their service is outstanding. We will definitely be returning!

We had a fantastic set lunch for 16 of us celebrating a special birthday. The pub is welcoming with two open fires, a lovely table was set up in the restaurant waiting for us and the meal was superb. Amazing value at £20 for 3 courses. We received fantastic service from all the team. The new owners are just lovely and cannot do enough for you. I watched the landlady carefully polish all the cutlery with real attention to detail. The chef is fantastic and took the time to speak to us about the menu. It's an enjoyable 10 minute stroll over the bridge from Burford. Don't miss this out if you are planning a visit to this beautiful area of the Cotswolds - very highly recommended to all

意外な場所に(田舎の町はずれにポツンと有るという意味)こんなオシャレなレストランが有るとは、嬉しい驚きでした。10月中旬に家内と2人で利用しました。レンタカーでコッツウォルズ周遊を始めた最初の夜、近所のB&B;にチェックイン後、近傍のレストランを検索し、こちらを選び予約を入れて行きました。暗い夜道の途中に明るい照明が現れすぐに判りました。英国の田舎の典型的なパブの佇まいです。レストラン部分はテーブル数5〜6程度のこじんまりした良い雰囲気の空間で、金曜日の19時過ぎでしたが、着いた時は我々だけで、その後、地元客と思われる2組が来訪。メニューの数は多くはないのですが、フィッシュ&チップスとかローストビーフ、ハギスとかの所謂パブの定番メニューではなく、季節とか食材に応じて準備した(多分?)ちょっとしたフレンチレストランのそれでした。と言っても、サービスしてくれるのは普段着?の若い女性2人で、堅苦しさは全くありません。前菜はトリフ入ハムスと山羊のチーズのスフレを、メインは鹿の腰肉のステーキと鴨の胸肉のソテーを選び、デザート、コーヒーまで、全て美味しく大満足のディナーでした。パブの方は覗きませんでしたが、駐車場も広く、トイレも大きく綺麗です。コッツウォルズ方面へ出掛ける機会が有るなら、是非マークして下さい。お勧めです。

We have been in the UK for nearly ten weeks and have eaten in many hotels and pubs. This was one of the best meals we have had. The Chef even came and spoke to us enquiring about our meal and offering suggestions. My duck was delicious and other meals similarly well presented generous and delicious. This place deserves to do very well. I strongly encourage locals to support a chef who knows and loves good food.

Came here for dinner to avoid the busyness of Burford. Lovely pub with wooden beams and wood burning stoves and peaceful atmosphere. Menu was small but some lovely choices. I had pork loin. Partner had calamari and homemade bread with hummus, olives and homemade Greek yogurt butter. Everything tasted great and was nicely presented. Sadly the pub was a bit deserted though it was midweek. Definitely worth a visit if you want to get out of Burford’s tourist zone.

We met some friends at this lovely pub for Sunday Lunch. We are in the garden as the weather was fantastic for this late stage in the year. We all found our respective food delicious and very good value. The roast beef and rich gravy was just perfect.

We booked lunch for ourselves and family (5 plus dog!). The service was excellent but unobtrusive, the dog was welcomed and not just tolerated and most importantly the food was just great! We had checked to ensure that Gluten Free options were available for our daughter and she could have chosen 3 out of mains available on the day. Staff went out of their way to offer GF extras including yorkshire pudding, gravy and sweetmeats with our coffee, all without being prompted.

Seis de mis amigos y familiares se reunieron aquí durante el verano para comer y ponerse al día. No sabíamos qué esperar, pero todos estábamos asombrados por la deliciosa y bien presentada comida a precios increíblemente asequibles. El chef fue excepcionalmente amable e incluso compartió con nosotros cómo cocinó su cohete. Tienes que intentarlo. Está a las afueras de Burford con su propio estacionamiento, pero en realidad está a solo un corto paseo cruzando el puente.

A solo un corto paseo de nuestro be & be up, nos recibió un anfitrión increíblemente amable con una sonrisa de bienvenida. Un menú muy completo. Optamos por los especiales para empezar: langostinos a la parrilla, así como el rollo de salchicha. La comida era simplemente excelente. Una tarde brillante y me encantaría volver la próxima vez que exploremos los Cotswolds.
