The Charlton inn in North Dorset

Had a lovely meal at Charlton Inn, every time we come here, we are greeted with a friendly welcome. The menu is extensive on the choice, we chose off the specialist menu and decided to with Haddock mornay, and I had Steak with Guinness pie, which both came with chunky chips and a side of vegetables, both were excellent, and very reasonable value, the whole lot with 1.2/2 pints came to under £36.00, great service and a great pub

Stopped in on our way to Rockley park with our little one. Service was excellent, and the building itself was lovely! Will be stopping back in on the way home too!

Great pub food and good friendly service, can get busy very popular excellent value on drinks as well as food good atmosphere

Writing for my parents . A dreadful experience with a group of friends. The food was pre ordered. My father didn’t get his meal, as ordered, he had to eat what he was given, as that was what was left. Others had cold veg, over cooked , inedible duck .. another gent didn’t get his meal so he had to wait 10 minutes whilst they cooked for him. All this could have been easy remedied with a member of staff apologising and caring about the whole situation. Customer service costs nothing. The general consensus between this large group of friends is that they won’t return.

Lovely staff, good range of drinks. Didn’t get to try the food as they do not serve food after lunch on a Sunday. Lovely atmosphere and dog friendly.

The menu here is vast. You expect the food therefore to be .... not so good. Wrong - it is lovely. Proper English Pub, serving good food, nice atmosphere and correctly served beer. The serving staff are young and again therefore maybe not so good. Wrong again. They are professional, engaging and good at what they do. Price is reasonable as well. Sugegst a stop off here.

Lovely Sunday roast. Food was hot and fresh with a good choice of meats or Vegetarian options. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Gets busy so worth booking.

Fantastic Easter Sunday roast choice of four meats, small or large plates. Lovely cooked roasties, veg and cauliflower cheese. Great food, great service, great value. Thank you

Very Disappointed..Stayed in there Accommodation for a night whilst visiting for a family Party..Over priced for Standard of accommodation..very basic and in need of an Upgrade.. damp smelling..£95 for 1 night is not value for money especially without Breakfast included..Also very expensive in the Bar..didn't have food although what I seen served looked fabulous but had a drink whilst waiting for Taxi and was charged just shy of £25 for 4 drinks 🤦‍♀️..wouldn't Stay again unless upgraded

Wide choice on menu, well cooked and presented and served by friendly staff. Good selection of fresh vegetables. Liked the idea of a choice of small or large portions.

Booked for lunch, great Sunday roast again but had a couple of big groups in which is fine but staff seemed to pay more attention to the large groups rather than all guests. We go often as local but didn’t once get spoken to once after meal served and after waiting for over 30 minutes from finishing meal still no waiting staff to clear away dishes or offer dessert menu despite the waiting staff checking on the big group of diners so got up and paid and left. More attention needs to be paid to all customers however small the group.

THE most amazing Sunday roast with first glass friendly service. A really warm atmosphere and excellent value means I'll definitely return and recommend

Popped in on way back from shopping in Blandford and had so much choice on the menu I had to stop after page two as I was getting too confused as what to have. Such a great choice. My food when it came was piping hot and delicious and so was my friends. She had chips with hers and they weee probably the best chips I’ve tasted. We’ll done to all of you

THE most amazing Sunday roast with first glass friendly service. A really warm atmosphere and excellent value means I'll definitely return and recommend

Had a wonderful Sunday Lunch Very tasty roast pork with crunchy crackling. Service very fast and staff friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed it.

We popped in on our way home from the coast and found friendly staff and beautifully cooked food at very reasonable prices. We'll definitely be going back.

Popped into the Charlton Inn on the off chance, and so pleased we did. What an amazing Sunday roast. Great vegetarian selection and to die for cauliflower cheese. Choice of 5 meats on the main roast and you won't go hungry with the generous portions. Great value for money with the roasts under £13! We will be going back.

Great meeting place and simple but tasty food. Efficient service and sat in the little beer garden.

Stayed for one night,we had an evening meal which was lovely,great choises for vegetarian options.,sadly we had to ask for toilet roll,tea and coffee,then told there was no breakfast options as what we saw taken to another room.".sorry these were pre orded months in advance' Rooms could of been cleaned better so rather over priced

We stayed here for 3 nights recently. Rooms lovely, clean and spacious. Continental breakfast brought to our room. Plentiful and fresh. Meals in the inn were outstanding. From the sauteed beef to the fish and chips, so much choice. Staff were exceptional.

We stayed in for the night in the rooms just outside. They were spacious, modern and very clean! However, it wasn’t exactly value for money as it was quite expensive to stay just for one night. Despite this, it was a good stay and the staff were very lovely!

Small pie and ploughman’s for Saturday lunch. Absolutely fantastic food thank you. Turkey, ham and mushroom pie one of if not the best pie ever! We will definitely return

Parents were so impressed with prices and food quality they insisted on taking us on a Monday lunchtime. Was surprisingly busy but now know why. Prices very reasonable. Unlike others they don't seem to have hiked their prices to the extent people just don't go. Food quality very good indeed and portion sizes were very generous. Will definitely go back.

Super service. Well cooked roast, veg, roast potatoes and yorkshires all good and plenty of it. Can't talk about desserts as we were too full to try any.

Seventeen friends and family descended en-masse at 18:30 (pre-booked), We were given a side room and were very well looked after... We pre booked the food for most people (the birthday girl got to choose on arrival), but the starters, mains and desserts all arrived at the right times, piping hot and freshly cooked... A logistical triumph by the staff.... Lovely food, well cooked, very tasty and a great atmosphere... Will certainly be returning for more...

We were recommended by a friend, so decided to try it. Haven’t had such a wide ranging menu choice at a pub before, from smaller menu options at just £7.50 to restaurant quality meals at around £15. We both ate off the daily specials menu with a choice of potatoes and a good selection of vegetables, most definitely not chips with everything. I had wild boar faggots and my husband had half a duck with Cointreau sauce. Both were beautifully cooked and presented. The welcome and service were both excellent and we will most certainly eat there again even though we are about 20 miles from there. Well done.

We stopped at the Charlton Inn for a meal, on our way home. We had fish and chips and a chilli con carne with rice. Both were well cooked and good portions

Wow what a wonderful Christmas meal, a lovely warm welcome, food was hot and plenty of it. Wonderful, lovely decorated table, service was great, warm and friendly staff, was a fabulous treat.

Well worth a visit to this lovely Dorest country pub. The main weekly menu is comprehensive and the quality, portion size and value for money are impressive. Sunday lunch was ok but not up to parr. The accommodation is pleasant but breakfast is not available...

Visiting family in Blandford and stayed here as usual. Good rooms, great food and lovely welcoming atmosphere. In the past we have had breakfast which was always superb. On booking we were told that the traditional breakfast was no longer available, but a continental breakfast...

Visited with friends on a Friday night (first time we’d been in for a few years) and it was good to see it was still busy post-pandemic. Sadly the food offering was basic and bland pub-grub that wasn’t particularly cheap, and this is nothing new....

We called in here as my granddaughter needed the toilet & decided to have lunch. We ordered from the light bites cottage pie, Mac & cheese & a curry we were pleasantly surprised by the size of the meals & they were excellent. Extremely good...

Staff were very friendly, 3 out of 4 of the main courses were good. However, the easiest course to cook of the 4 was the gammon steak, the pineapple on top of the steak was not even a 5th of the size of the steak...

Dropped in early lunchtime and were served some lovely food. It took 30 minutes to get to the table but worth the wait. Very generous main courses, just pubgrub but very nicely served. The tiniest moan is that the gravy with the giant Yorkie and...

Just writing to inform you i was disappointed in our stay with yourself.  My partner was keen to stay within your place due to having positive memories of the area 20 years ago and wanting to share those memories with me.  However when we arrived...

My husband and I had an appointment in Poole which required an overnight stop. Our dog is recovering from an attack by another dog so we needed to take her along. We found the Charlton Inn when searching for dog-friendly accommodation and booked via a...

First visit since the Pandemic. Family of 6 booked for lunch. Well planned out restaurant to allow sufficient social distancing etc. Lovely food as always and friendly welcoming staff. Thank You

Big old portions , a rare thing in Dorset these days. Big chunky chips and lots of choice on the menu!!! Will be returning 100%

On arrival,we were warmly welcomed. A wide menu range,and the food was definitely home cooked. Absolutely delicious.

We all really enjoyed our food - great choice and reasonably priced. Kids also loved it and we were made to feel so welcome by the friendly staff. Would certainly recommend!

Stopped here on a Sunday in our way to Poole. It was quite late on a Sunday lunch time and my first choice of lunch was unavailable, but I had the small roast beef dinner and boy was there a lot and all very tasty,...

My family and I chose to eat here today and we are very glad we did. Exceptionally professional and friendly staff, extensive menus and all Covid compliant. The smaller appetites menu was perfect for my 9 year old and 4 year old who chose gammon with pineapple, chips and peas. My husband had the homemade gamekeepers pie (a venison mince pie topped with mash) served with chips and fresh vegetables. I had the macaroni cheese with salad. It was all cooked fresh, piping hot and the waiting staff all asked if everything was okay with our meal which doesn't happen everywhere. We will definitely visit again even when the Eat Out to Help Out offer is over.

We stopped off for lunch as was on the main road on the way to our destination and we hadn't prebooked.I really want to be more positive because nothing was BAD but more MEH. There was no lunchtime menu although the menu was quite large but filled with mainly main meals.I had halloumi fries starter. I got 3 sticks for £6.25 with a little side salad- I wouldn't class this as value for money especially as it wasn't even homemade.Baby G had the ham and cheese baguette with lovely chunks of thick ham. At £6.95 again I wouldn't call this value for money.Mr G had a bacon, sausage and egg bap with chips for £4.95, definitely good value.It was quite slow to come. I had draught coke zero and it didn't taste right admittedly I didn't complain because I was so thirsty I practically downed it in one.The atmosphere was funerary. It is obviously a place for locals as the staff seemed to know the names of the others in attendance. Not bad but not special and it wouldn't encourage me to recommend or revisit.

Lovely meal and very friendly staff. Names and numbers taken for track and trace, one way system in place and hand sanitiser provided.

Drove out through lovely Dorset countryside for lunch. Beautiful Inn, delicious food and great service. From small plate dishes to large steaks - couldn’t be faulted. Plenty of parking and great value. Highly recommended.

Visited with a few friends over the weekend and it was diabolical! Rude staff, lack of organisation, not a great first time back here since lockdown lifted. We went back last night thinking maybe it was due to the busy weekend...Tables over 6 people being seated, no real track and trace in place! Taking one name for a whole table! Where's the one way system? No one controlling who comes in and out.Only 1 member of staff had a mask on which I know isn't compulsory but after witnessing some of the behaviours it was was reassuring that someone was being considerate and would have preferred to been served by her all night. Only saw 2 out of the 3 staff wiping down tables, chairs, menus and washing their hands frequently. To be honest that's the only improvement since the weekend!!!!!Menus are reused, I witnessed a young server taking menus from one table straight to another! Although she did appear to be in her own little world so wherever she was that is probably acceptable.One of the guests was coughing and spluttering everywhere! Great!! Saw that the person appeared to being staying so let's hope their cleaning of rooms is better than that of the pub.

After visiting the Charlton inn I am very concerned about its social distancing and cleanliness.The menus did not seem to be wiped between customers.The tables were not cleaned thoroughly. The staff came very close to you.One staff member had a cigarette outside sat right next to a customer.Staff did not seem to be cleaning hands. I have left feeling very worried.

We had a beautiful Sunday roast with good sized portions & a good price but the lack of social distancing was quite worrying. We were greeted at the door & sent to the bar to find out our table. As the table was by the door, we had to walk back through the other customers who had come in waiting to be seated. None of the staff seemed to observe social distancing very much. I appreciate that the rules for pubs are only advisory but I felt more could have been in place.

After a very tiring drive we called in late on Sunday evening. We were pleasantly greeted and although late was able to order food. Having eaten here many times once again the food was excellent. Veggies note that there at least 6 excellent options with extra fresh mixture of vegetables . Sunday roast is superb. Highly recommended. Thank you.

I just had to put a post up to support our local pub, which offered the best and most reasonably priced Christmas meal in the area. A party of 20 of us enjoyed a fun-packed meal and we were provided with paper ball 'pea' shooters, noisy balloons, party hats, crackers and party poppers.Despite them being a chef down the staff appeared unstressed, were incredibly welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. All of the food came in good time and was excellently prepared and presented.Thank you so much for a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable Christmas experience.

Been twice now for Sunday roast. The first time very good but the second visit not so good.Although we were shown immediately to our table we had to wait for 15 mins to get orders placed & another 10 mins for drinks to arrive. The young lady attending us although pleasant had to keep being reminded that we had not given any order but she seemed to be to shy to respond { A proper dilly daydream ) our food eventually arrived but staggered . The meat ( generous portions ) was delivered by an other person but then we had to wait for over 5 mins for the veg to arrive , hence luke warm meat & gravy by then . The roast potatoes were hard & greasy where as on the previous visit they were perfection . We think they had been reheated in a frying pan.. A bit disappointing as we had taken guests & had praised our first visit. We will try again but not in a hurry .

I stayed for one night and when it was breakfast time I walked to the front door of the pub. The lady that answered was extremely rude and unfriendly. She said it was the wrong door. I said I was a guest and was there for breakfast. I didn’t feel welcome at all as she kept glaring at me. I didn’t want to ask for a cooked breakfast after that so ate some cereal before leaving. She asked if I had paid already? I said yes and she just glared and walked off. Would not recommend.

The Carlton has been on a bit of a roller coaster over the last 6 years, now its back on top form. Our food was served on hot plates, very well prepared, and ample portions. Service was cut above the average, and the interior was very clean. Well worth a visit.

Excellent service great food could not fault any thing. Would recommend. Lovely place very friendly staff will return.

We stayed here on a b&b basis. The room was well appointed, very clean and quiet. Breakfasts were memorable and well worth the £10 per head. We had dinner on the first evening, after good starters my wife had a vegetable tagine and I tried the steak and kidney pie. Both were excellent. The next night we had a family gathering and unfortunately the three venison steaks which were ordered were found to be tough and not really edible. After some delay they were taken away, leaving the other food on the plate to be replaced about 10 minutes later by gammon steaks which came on a separate plate.. After rigorous complaining we managed to get one steak removed from the bill but this aspect of customer service was very poor. The other diners did enjoy their meals.The inn has a good range of beers and ciders and, apart from the venison episode, a great atmosphere. We hope the venison affair was a one off and we will certainly stay and eat there again.

We eat here most weeks and the food choices are excellent and the quality is superb. whether you have the main menu or the smaller appetite menu the quantity is plentiful. The staff are friendly and very efficient. A lovely dog friendly pub.

Stayed in the village with family so we popped down for supper one night, friendly staff, food came quickly, was reasonably priced and tasty. Then visited couple times for an evening drink, one night a pub quiz was on. Friendly place.

Stayed nearby for 4 nights and this was our local. Friendly staff and the locals were warming. Popped in most days for a drink and made to feel really welcome. Ate in here on one of the evenings and the food was great. If you stay nearby be sure to visit here. A proper village pub that I highly recommend. 5 stars from us and super dog friendly !!

We came upon this pub as we were driving to Sherborne from Bournemouth. It was lunchtime and the place looked like a typical country pub that offered food. The car park was reasonably full, which we thought was a good sign. Inside there were several tables occupied with people dining and we were greeted by friendly bar staff. The vast menu was a bit worrying - plenty of choice, but how can such a local pub offer so much choice of freshly cooked food?! Anyway we made our choices quite quickly and then sat at our table and waited. And waited............and waited. 45 minutes later our food arrived! It was piping hot and quite tasty but had we known how long it would take we wouldn’t have bothered.

What a lovely evening. We were recommended this pub by a friend. We were certainly not disappointed. Service was brilliant and very friendly even the dog was made to feel welcome. The food was amazing, we will definitely be back.

Very nice pub excellent food and catered for our celiac friend, friendly staff and the plates were piping hot

Despite living in opposite directions we decided on stopping here for an Evening meal. The place was buzzing with locals, all very friendly including the dogs! Good selection of food and beers. Service excellent and friendly- food piping hot- small cottage pie, Liver and Bacon plus a Thai Curry were deemed first class. Very clean and welcoming. Good parking.

Doing a bit of work in Dorset and the Charlton inn was the first place we came across after some mad road works! Very welcoming pub. I had a steak baguette and the meat was very tender and reasonable priced. Will drop in again.

We took our Nan here for a Sunday lunch and it was delicious. Generous portions of meat, asked if the veg was enough or did we want more, extra jugs of gravy, lovely! The main menu reads great too!

This Pub really is the best kept secret in Dorset. A place which still has the local feel about it and yet is super friendly to every guest. The food is exquisite. We had a venison and ham dish, which was melt in the mouth, followed by apple crumble and custard. YES, a pub desert menu which doesn’t solely comprise the usual cold 'sweets' but has real old fashioned 'deserts'. Before ordering the crumble I had the cheek to ask if the apples were bramleys and the chef, who was in the bar having a break, replied "of course they’re bramleys, and you don’t get nothin' in 'ere out of a tin dear".

Visited for lunch on Granddaughter's birthday. All of the party of 8 were very happy with the food, good selection on the menu. The waitress was very pleasant and kept the 2 dogs supplied with treats, so they were happy! We will certainly return when we visit the area again.

Starters, good. Main courses - excellent. My friend especially appreciated the venison steak and I enjoyed the gamekeepers pie. Really good value for money and excellent friendly service. Keep it up!

Stayed in the village two weeks ago and went to this pub as it would be the nearest during our stay,I went in asking if they allowed dogs,there were a group of people watching football onTV and the guy behind the bar was watching also,Waited for ages before he came over and I asked about our dog he replied "yep ok" that was it...went and fetched hubby and dog and stood at bar again waiting to be served,no one else at bar just the group watching tv,had a read of menu whilst we were stood there and with that a voice shouted across the room"no food tonight"nothing else no can I help you would you like a drink nothing I feel we interrupted his football so we left and never went back what a rude unwelcoming place it is...

Visited today on way back from Poole, lovely atmosphere and staff very friendly. Banter between my brother and Steve was great to see, you don’t get that interaction in every place you visited. Fantastic. Highly recommend the Cottage Pie (Apartment Pie - as Steve called it), Homemade Lasagne, and Chicken New Yorker was the best i’ve had in a long time. Will definitely visit again.

First visit 11th March had a struggle getting there due to extensive roadworks. Worth the struggle though as Thai red pork and peanut curry with red pepper rice & prawn crackers was delicious. Pint of Dorset Horn bitter a good accompaniment.

A while since I have been here, a pleasant atmosphere and good varied menu. The macaroni cheese came with a good crispy topping that I had hoped for, and the lemon tart was very lemony and just right. I would have preferred ice cream with it, but the source was unknown and I do prefer Purbeck ice cream so chose single cream. A very good lunch and friendly company too

We recently stayed in the lovely village of Charlton Marshall and visited The Charlton Inn twice. The staff were welcoming, funny and knowledgeable. The food was consistently excellent and made from local ingredients. I loved the quiet, cosy atmosphere - no fruit machines or loud music at all. If you love a hot curry, try the madras - phew! Loved it.

Really quite upset after our recent experience. Came for the quiz with some friends of ours as we were visiting my parents who live in the area. Unfortunately within minutes of sitting down we overheard the barman and two customers talking about us, asking if we had actually bought drinks (we had) and staring at us and whispering. Our two friends are gay and it made them feel extremely uncomfortable as we didn’t understand why they were speaking about us. We were paying customers and love to visit local pubs when in the area but that experience was extremely upsetting. I’ve never experienced anything like it. You’d think local pubs would welcome new customers but apparently not.

Ate in the main dining room, lovely table in the corner. Fantastic night, the service was fast and friendly. The four of us all had different meals which came in good time. The puddings again we’re good. This pub was vibrant, friendly, will go again

Lunch for birthday - we had giant Yorkshire Filled pudding and scampi and chips, sticky toffee pud with custard and Dorset apple cake with custard. Food was nicely presented and hot and tasty. Would recommend and will come again 😀

Good selection on the menu especially if you like game. Food cooked lovely with good flavours. Service was great and with a bit of sass. Prices are also reasonable. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

First visit chose honey roast pork sausages, mash & peas with a pint of Fursty Ferrett. Went mad and had a desert which I can rarely resist, crumble & custard. Very nice.

Potatoes were old! Had obviously been in the fridge for a day or two! Otherwise an acceptable meal. generous portions and they were keen to make sure I had gluten - free gravy.

Choice of food is amazing at incredible prices including a £5.99 menu with terrific portions.

Friendly village pub great choice of drinks. Some polite staff. Great idea snacks on bar. Warm and cosy inside. Clean and tidy

Nothing special. Basic menu which would be difficult to get wrong. Waitress was very pleasant, chap behind the bar was too. Two scampi and chips and a child’s fish and chips. Was ok.

The food we had was cold and horrible,there were multiple kids at the work place running round as if they were at wacky warehouse, that was their staff, the nights stay was a joke, I smelt the stinky smokers sputtering ourside, the bed had spiders webs in the bathroom had no drainage in place and was told to mop up the floor as that was our complimentary gift for the weekend, ridiculous also we were given a free meal voucher if u had a 3 course meal so it wasn't free, I had a carvery which the meat looked like it had been there for weeks and the chef looked like he was on coke,the dopey barman swore at me many times and muttered, when asked him about the steak pie he got his FINGER AND PUT IT IN THE pie to check it and said it was fine,stupid,say nothing else but that sums our stay however the free newspapers weren't too bad. Will not be returning to this shoddy knackered building with kids working on 2 p an hour, sort it our kids

We come to the Charlton Inn at least twice a year with our group of older people. I have to say, there have never been any complaints (and that is a good as the group can be very picky at times) and everyone always looks forward to going there. Great service and lovely food

We came as a couples one night stay had to wait for what felt like a years wait to be givn the keys to are room to find out it was the wrong rom number which was unaceptable then we went to have Sunday roast the bar manger came to our table with our food and mumbld some words about wacka or quacka and kept repeting them when we asked aboot the foud, we then had the wrong food there was a chef a boy a girll and the bar manger, we saw the boy cooking food in the kitchen when he clearly hadn't done his cucking course yet,my hubbie went to the bar to order the food after waiting 25mins to be served it was inaceptable visit however when the food came it was lovely however we had to wait around another 35-40 mintes for the food to come. All in all disgusted with the service the bar manger (Alan) and will not be reurning. The hotel rom was miles too expensive for the price we paid. INADEQUATE. This place was really nice howeather its gotting worse last visit was around 6months ago and everything was brilliant however I really feel its gone down hill sadnesssly. Thanks for your **** hospitality...

This place has gone downhill a lot. The service was terrible, waited over an hour for food, no apologies given and when served nobody came to ask if all was ok. Waitress sat at bar on her phone, the man behind the bar just grunted at us and more interested in people at the bar than in restaurant. Will not be visiting again which is a shame as previous visits were good.

We called in on the way past, we're bowled over by the specials board, the breadth of the menu is impressive.

Passed this place a number of times but this was the first time to go in. Not disappointed , great service. Great food and large servings, and a full menu. We will be paying another visit very soon

Visited The Charlton with family on a Saturday Lunchtime. We had starters, mains and drinks. We were pleased with the food, it was good quality proper pub food. We would recommend.

Horrible place to stay. Please avoid and go elsewhere.

We visited as a group of 6 for my husband's birthday. Thoroughly disappointed, the food was adequate but the service was terrible. They failed to offer any sauces or check if we needed anything and didn't clear our plates. We were going to order pudding but gave up waiting and left. There are much nicer places to eat locally. One staff member was particularly rude and sullen. Definitely in need of new staff!!

I took a party of eighteen people to the The Charlton for an evening meal. The food and service were excellent. We had the exclusive use of a room, and considering the variety of food and that was ordered they coped very well - fresh vegitables and lovely puds. No hesitation in retuning with a large party.

We eat here often and the food and service is always good. My favourite is the hunters chicken although the burgers are excellent.

The Charlton is my local and as such I have previously reviewed before. The pub changed hands in June last year and the new landlord and landlady threw a lovely welcome party, superb buffet and drinks included. They soon set about refurbishing the main dining area with a lovely new carpet and new furniture. On Monday last week eight of us gathered for a celebratory birthday lunch which was superb, all meals were served spot on time and were enjoyed by all.

Visited as a party of 8. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Food was really nice with steaks cooked just right. A large selection of food is available and at very reasonable prices. Highly recommended to visit.

I used to like going to the Charlton we went regularly and when it changed hands we thought we would try it out one lunchtime, there seemed to be a what looked like a family running it the man just sat at the bar picking his nose giving orders to a woman and a young girl who didn’t seem to know what they were doing , still we ordered food expecting the usual fresh good pub grub but instead got what looked like frozen battered fish frozen chips and frozen peas all of which I could of got from Iceland’s very disappointing , I said then I probably wouldn’t go back but we believe in second chances so we thought we would try one Sunday lunchtime , well I can’t tell you how shocked and angry we were when we walked into the pub before we even sat down we were told “don’t bother staying because we have no food left “ it was only half past one , I can’t believe a pub could run out of food on one of the most popular days for people to go out to eat, we didn’t even get offered a drink or a sandwich or anything to get us to stay, unbelievably bad service , we will not be going back there again.

The Charlton Inn is a great place for a meal. The staff are welcoming and helpful. They have a wonderful selection of delicious veggie options and a full menu for people who prefer meat.

We stopped here for a light lunch whilst travelling for a weekend away. We did not intend to go along this road, but a diversion due to road closure took us to this pub. A very welcome break in the journey, baguettes very tasty and filling. chips excellent - best I have tasted for ages in a pub.

The cheaper Pensioner's menu has been renamed. Ask for it under nrw name - now called something like "Smaller Portions". Main courses at about £6. Large car-park.

We had a very friendly welcome from the staff and had a drink at the bar while deciding what to...

Pass this pub on a regular basis and been in once or twice before but not for sometime. Bit disappointed this time, in particular tables were sticky and obviously not been cleaned properly. However, food was good but I thought a bit expensive - it is a pub in a small village on a main road I suppose - Burger, chips and salad £9.95, med glass of wine £5 ish.
