Lovely pub with great decor and open fires. The service was a bit slow but it was busy. The food was tasty although the vegetarian meals were cold so had to send them back. The team couldn't apologise more, and brought them back piping hot. The desserts were good too. Good, friendly team that get things right.

We visited The Cowper Arms last Sunday around 4pm! Pub was very busy which is great to see but we were seated and served straight away. Food was quick, delicious and hot! We both had a roast - highly recommend. We were served by Joe who was extremely polite and well versed on the menu and drinks available! Great service!

I went here today had a roast beef dinner, the beef was full of fat, the roast potatoes was hard like they had been re-cooked. It wasn’t a cheap meal , so was very disappointed by the standard. The veg was the only thing that was nice on the plate. I will NOT be returning.

Went out for a business lunch, went for the valentine special menu which included a chateaubriand which seemed a great deal could have had champagne but went for the nice red bottle. Had the scallops which are always good here, and change the dish regularly so always done different ways. If you have not booked anything for valentine's would go for this doing all week and is great value. The visit was made that little bit special with the service we received from Natalia, looking forward to our next visit

I really liked the ambience of this place, and the staff were pretty friendly. However, when you're paying over £30 for a ribeye steak, you don't expect it to be so fatty, you're left with minimal steak left to consume. I do expect some fat, but this was offputting. I would go back here, but I would have fillet steak or something else on the menu

Ate there last night. Really disappointed with the Chateaubriand, which I shared with my grandson. It was his first chateaubriand so he knew no different, but it was the worst I have ever had. Small, thinly sliced, overcooked and not great quality meat. In balance my wife had Sea Bass and said it was lovely hence three stars. We also had a voucher for 50% off main courses, which negated my complaints, but it should be 50% off the price not quality and portion size. Real shame as staff were excellent all round and the atmosphere nice too.

Good venue for a Boxing Day lunch with friends. The pub was very busy and understandably popular. We had 3 course meals from their fixed price menu. We were served promptly, with generous portions. The food was good and nicely presented but the most praise should go to the young man who served us. He was well-informed, efficient and seemed genuinely charming. He bothered to ask if I wanted ice (I never do!), he was helpful about our food enquiries and was alert to all that was happening. We felt he was brilliant and regret not asking his name, as I would have named him specifically in this review!

We recently visited the Cowper Arms in Letty Green for drinks, and our experience was made exceptional by our waitress, Leah. From the moment we arrived, Leah greeted us with a warm smile and was incredibly attentive throughout our visit. She ensured our drinks were always topped up and even recommended some fantastic options from the bar. Leah’s friendly demeanor and professional service truly enhanced our evening. We will definitely be returning, thanks to her outstanding hospitality

Quality of the starters and main courses were excellent, considering the volume of customers on Christmas Day, however the desserts were quite disappointing. The only other issue I had was that we had to wait nearly 1 hour between the serving time of our starters and main courses, then when we finished our desserts I was told that you need the table back and just passed the bill without being asked if we would like anything else, coffees or tea, which was was again extremely disappointing. I paid the service charge as it can’t be the waiting staffs problem, maybe just how the kitchen had been managed in the day?

I have never been so disappointed in an evening out. Staff lacklustre, didn't seem to want to be there. Took ages to take order then over an hour for food to come. Vegetables were raw. Awful, awful, awful.

It was OK. The food was good and reasonably priced but the day we went, the staff were really miserable and I found them quite unfriendly. The manager equally could do with some lessons in customer service, how to smile and how to make customers feel valued. It felt rushed, a conveyor belt service. Manager rushing about clearing tables etc but in a way that made you feel like you were a bother and the quicker you ate and left, the better. Not even offered the desert menu after our dinner. Such a shame!
