Visited here with my very picky father and my family (6 in total) I can honestly say the food was delicious! We were seated in the conservatory area it was very bright and airy and the whole place throughout had a lovely vibe. It had outdoor terrace section, a large outdoor seating area with a children's play frame and lots of separate rooms inside to dine so much space and plenty of free parking. The staff were very friendly and attentive and it was very clean! We had camembert to start which was by far the best we have ever had the chutney they served with it was so yum and the sourdough bread was perfect wish we could have had more to be honest but we needed space for our dinner. We all had Sunday roasts, lamb, beef and the chicken. All so beautiful and plentiful we had to ask for a tub to take some of the meat and roast potatoes away with us because we was so full and did not no way want to waste any of it. The parsnips were so tasty and the gravy mmm just all of it I can not say a bad word just wish I could go there more often but we only went during our holiday at Warmwell Holiday park which is only a 5 minute drive away. I loved it but I cant make the 4 hour drive every Sunday to go unfortunately. If I am ever in the area again I will definitely be booking a table for food again 100%!

Visited this lovely pub/restaurant with the family and our 2 dogs last Sunday for a roast. I can honestly say this was absolutely the best roast dinner we have ever had. I had the roast beef ( 3 lovely tender slices) lovely crisp roast potatoes, homemade Yorkshire pudding, Swede , delicious roasted baby carrots and parsnips all served with the most delicious thick homemade gravy. My in laws had the pork and cracking and also reported their meat was delicious and tender. My husband had the nut roast will all the trimmings and he also reports that it was the best roast dinner that he has had in any restaurant. The food was amazing and would definitely recommend this lovely restaurant.

Popped in on the off chance on a sunday lunchtime, they fitted us in at a table in the lounge bar, roast was lovely, partner had Beef and I had Lamb. It was so enjoyable we booked a dinner reservation for the next day. Was very pleased again, partner had a Steak and I a vegetable curry with the added chicken option. Had room for dessert this time and had ice cream and a Salted caramel chocolate brownie. Delicious. Will visit when in the area again.

This is a very friendly pub / restaurant we visited here several times during our stay at a nearby campsite (Very convenient). Food was excellent and good sized portions. All the staff we encountered were friendly and the service was excellent.

Excellent food super friendly Staff dog friendly portions sizes are very generous and reasonable prices too ! Would recommend !

We booked this pub as short notice as the one we had previously booked did not offer food on a Monday evening. The room was clean and cosy and the ensuite small but functional. We had an undisturbed night's sleep. Supper was excellent and great value for money and breakfast the next morning was freshly cooked and tasty. An excellent last minute decision for an overnight stop.

Amazing roast beef Sunday dinner , so much beef i couldnt finish it, my partner had the fish and chips and throughly enjoyed his too, highly recommend this restaurant

Best Sunday roast I've had in a while. Great service, reasonably priced, pleasant atmosphere and massive portions. Diasabled friendly and Dog friendly too!

We had the best Sunday roast! We were a group of 4 with a dog, 3 had pork and 1 chicken and it was all amazing! The portions if anything are over generous and we all left a few things. The staff were really friendly and attentive to all our needs. Would definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The best Sunday roast dinner I've ever eaten (and I've had a few!). Staff are really helpful and friendly. Everything was excellent.

What a great Sunday roast. Sometimes they are a let down and I wish I’d cooked …. BUT not this one the beef was perfection and all the trimmings delicious. Worth every penny. My husband picked fish and chips and although that was great mine was a clear winner and he had jeleous vibes!

Great service. Accommodated my mistake in booking for less people than I needed on a busy day. Service throughout great and Sunday lunch amazing, best we have had for a very long time. Highly recommend all aspects and will be coking back as soon as we can!

We went here for a Sunday roast. I phoned beforehand to check they were still doing roasts in the early evening. The waitresses were lovely as was the wine. My husband had the pork, which was nice and crackling lovely, as was the tender stem and carrots. My beef was overcooked and dry, plus the spuds weren’t crispy. The worst thing of all was the Yorkshire puddings. My husband paid extra to have them with his pork. They were almost black- clearly burnt. So we told the waitress and she spoke to the chef. About 10 minutes later another plate of two Yorkshires was bought out and - they were just as burnt. We broke them into bits to try and find any edible bits in the middle, but gave up! It would have been obvious we hadn’t eaten them when the plates were cleared, but we were still charged extra for the ones my husband ordered. We won’t be eating here again!

Visit twice once for just a normal lunch and once for a Sunday roast. Staff superb very friendly, efficient and attentive. Simple things like offering you water as soon as you are sat down makes you feel at ease. The menu choice for lunchtimes are varied and there is something for everyone. Booked Sunday lunch which happened to be Mother’s Day, although busy again the staff were super. The roast was very tasty but I admit maybe I should have had a child’s potion ! Will definitely return on our next visit to the area.

This is a pub located a mile or so from Warmwell Holiday Park. The pub was an absolute delight, upon arrival the decor of the venue is incredibly welcoming and clearly kept in great condition. There was a lovely fire keeping the pub warm & promoted a cosy vibe. We visited on pie night and were not disappointed. The menu was incredibly well priced and the food was clearly fresh & cooked to a very high standard. We did not have to wait long for either our drinks or meal. I was incredibly impressed with the taste of the food as well as the temperature the food was served at. Finally, the staff were incredibly friendly and nothing was too much for them. A great experience.

Everything was excellent. Lovely food, staff and choice of drinks. The only negative is it was cold in the lounge, toilets and restaurant. Log fire was burning but couldn't feel it, even when we sat in front of it.

Excellent Sunday lunch Delicious food, beautifully cooked and generous portions. Great service with polite and attentive waiting staff

Just returned home from a super Sunday Roast at The Frampton Arms. Food was absolutely super. Very attentive and friendly welcoming staff. Lovely decor throughout. Plenty of parking. Beef was available however we required and the lamb melted in your mouth. Will definitely be returning

Visited yesterday with family and all but one of us had the roast and could not fault it at all, 10/10 we will most defiantly be back and highly recommend.

Visited last night for dinner with friends - good food - ribs especially did not disappoint - service from Becca was excellent - friendly , helpful and great sense of humour - we’ll be back .

Four of us visited The Frampton Arms on Monday evening for their curry night. We had a lovely evening. The food was of the usual high standard, the welcome and the ambience were excellent as expected. A consistent and outstanding feature of The Frampton Arms is their staff. Each time we have been, the staff have been warm and engaging, attentive without being intrusive, and efficient and professional. It seems churlish to single out any particular member of staff, but on our most recent visit Becca was an absolute delight. She has a natural charm and a brilliant sense of humour. She kept us smiling and thoroughly entertained throughout the evening. Thank you Becca. We will visit again and have no hesitiation in recommending The Frampton Arms.

Popped back in after seeing the new menu advertised on their Facebook page and after our great experience previously we decided to visit again. Glad to see that Becca was still working who once again was a joy - a friendly waitress who had a lot of knowledge about the menu and the drinks. All the staff were lovely as usual and we were happy to see that the restaurant was still nice and busy despite it being not peak season anymore.

We stayed one night, the carpark is large, and the room was really nice, comfortable and homely, the staff were all friendly and attentive, the only down side for us was the breakfast, it says on booking.com breakfast is included, and the photos show cooked breakfast, but we were told as we checked in that is was a continental breakfast, so we were dissapointed. But everything else was really good.

Just experienced an incredible Sunday roast at Frantom Arms. I cheekily asked if I could pay extra to get both beef and lamb, and they happily obliged, a duo roast. The result? Absolutely phenomenal. The roast potatoes, outstanding. Can't wait to go back.

This a gem of a place. The young staff are exceptional - engaging and personable, providing great service. Whoever recruits and trains them does a fantastic job. And, credit to them for their professionalism throughout. The menu is varied and the food quality is high. We visited twice in 3 days and on both occasions everything was spot on. Steak, Hake, Thai curry, and Mussels all beautifully cooked and presented. It’s a busy rest so I think booking is essential.

Stayed for 1 night. Lovely room with everything we needed. Big car park. Not much in the area. However, for £4 you can get a return train ticket to Dorchester. Booking came with a continental breakfast, which was ok but not many options. Staff were very friendly.

i ordered a drink but could not have it as my cash was refused and was told it was a cashless free house. i will not use any business which refuses cash

Great place for a meal out. Friendly welcome from young staff. We especially liked that there is a separate dining room for those of us who would rather eat without the company of dogs. Food was very good and we enjoyed our choices. Wine was delicious and good beer at 2.50 a pint. We also liked our table with a view of the passing trains.

Visited here for Sunday lunch. The staff were very professional and eager to please. The food was excellent, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. There was an awful lot of food on the plate, you need a huge appetite to finish. Would definitely recommend

Nice venue and the food was excellent. Nice, varied menu and probably the best onion rings I’ve ever had. Great choice if you are looking for somewhere to eat in the area.

On the hotel website and booking.com it says the room comes with a full English/Irish breakfast. When we checked in we were told things had changed so no cooked breakfast just a continental. No explanation, no prior notice or reduction in the room cost. There is a sign on the door saying breakfast was temporarily stopped. When I asked one of the staff the next day I was told the breakfast chef had resigned and the owners weren't replacing him so I don't think that is temporary. The continental breakfast was poor. Just cereals, toast and fruit. No cold meats or cheese. We were using it as a base to sight see around Dorset so a full English was important to us to set us up for the day. If it's important to you don't book.

We stayed in weymouth and found this place on the way through going out. Wouldn't go back. I had Gammon ploughman's. Large portion or mixed salad, Coleslaw and Pickles. I small slice of Gammon and the bread was stale. My partner had cheese and bacon jacket potato. 2 slices of very well done brown bacon that was snapable placed into between the 2 halves of potato Not edible. Yound girl behind the counter very curt and looked annoyed we had disturbed her talking to a colleague!

Amazing food. Really friendly staff and a beautiful setting the only dissapointment was that they are card only and that stopped half of group of 12 to order food effeciently. We had to give cash to family members and use their cards which means we wouldnt return for that one reason alone. CASH should be allowed as a form of payment for those that still use cash everyday!!! We support places that still use cash and not card only.

- Great location, 20 mins from Dorset and 15 mins to the town centre - Great staff service - New room and nice decoration - Nice pub and good food - Plenty parking space - Will definitely come back again

Table booked for the last night of our holiday so a little romantic table for two was what was called for. Placed next to a friendly family but spent the first 20mins avoiding flying food from the kids then sat with there food over the hole floor for the remainder of our overpriced meal that you had to pay extra for the usual things like a potatoe with the lamb... Never ever been in such a miserable souless place ever. Terrible!!!

I enjoyed my bank holiday weekend basking in the sun at your amazing terrace, featuring inventive stools made from old barrels!!! I was recommend a tasty and refreshing strawberry mojito by a very friendly Ollie! He mentioned the cocktail of the month, but it wasn’t really my cup of tea (or should I say cocktail!) The service was really great, I would highly recommend to everyone! Keep up the good work Ollie and the team!!!

Decided to go for Sunday lunch after restrictions lifted to allow inside dining and wanted to try somewhere different. Have driven past Frampton Arms for years but never eaten here.Lovely spacious pub with socially distanced tables. The staff were excellent, we were seated and given menus and drink order taken.We opted for the Sunday roast although a small lunch menu was also available.The roasts aren’t cheap, £14.95 for roast beef plus £4 extra for a side of cauliflower. However, it was a treat for us just to be out.The food was delicious, very well cooked, extremely tasty and we really enjoyed it. We didn’t have room for dessert but the ones we saw looked good.Contactless payment at the table and chocolate mints to finish.We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would not hesitate to return.

We waited an hour before we got our starters and in general the service was so slow we only just managed to eat our dinner before the 10pm closure. One of the dinners came out 5 minutes after the rest! Food was fine. Service poor - wouldn’t hurry to go back here

We decided to give this place another try after the shambolic visit last year, and it's clear to say that time has not made any improvement. Food is still mediocre Wetherspoons fare and the management appears to have had a charisma bypass. No smile or hello just an abrupt "have you booked". Avoid

Good covid security and great food. The mackerel pate was superb. This might sound trite, but it came with toast, and the toast was perfect. The young waiter was very amusing and should consider a career in comedy.

Refused entry because I am face mask exempt. Legally anyone exempt doesn't have to prove anything and this simply isn't possible. Anyone can access mask exemption lanyards and these don't prove anything.. phone exemption cards are available for anyone and everyone to download on the government website. To be made to feel intimidated into wearing a mask when I have a hidden disability is rediculous. Think about this. Autism is a hidden disability.. and are face mask exempt. If you confront and intimidate a severely autistic person you can do serious mental and phycological damage. Thankful I have breathing difficulties.

I called to book a table for 2pm and explained that one guest was gluten intolerant Liz who dealt with call said no problem!! When we arrived we were showed the way to our seats but as we were with my grandfather who’s mobility was poor they offered a closer table... very kind and helpful! They then delivered the menus and to our surprise they had written on one of them all the gluten free options which is amazing as normally we are given a folder and have to work it out for ourselves so this really was amazing!!!!! The whole way through the meal the staff were helpful, friendly and well just truly spectacular!! The food was great and the overall bill was very reasonably priced!! My only gripe was that the staff need to talk louder as the masks do muffle the sound. Overall 9/10

Visited for a meal this evening after booking and was greeted by a very bad attitude! Very rude so will not be returning here again

We ate here as the Pub was close to the camp site we were staying at. My husband was offered chicken with his veggie curry at no extra cost which was good and the lamb I had was very tender.

Chef Jules made a wonderful vegan breakfast despite there being none on the menu. It was delicious and were given extra bits to replace the eggs. Husband also very happy with his full English! Would definitely recommend and visit again 💚💚

We booked an evening meal during our recent stay in the area based on recent good reviews. Food excellent. Service by the young staff excellent. Coronavirus guidance well in place. We will return on a future visit to Dorset.

very nice pub. dog were welcome.Toilets very clean.Bar staff we very good at there jobs taking are details for track and trace.

Stumbled across this wonderful pub. Great food, service, in the garden & beer in the sunshine what’s not to like.

Been before for carvery has now changed to roast dinner . £14.95 pluss additional £4 for cauliflower cheese. Beef on dinner had been machine sliced. Very small portion will need further food to fill us. Forgot the cauliflower cheese. Food twisted ok but still very disappointing. Will not return.

Food good had a nice fish with chips and mushy peas. Staff friendly and helpful it’s a good pub for dogs and kids

This was a great pub next to our campsite. Friendly staff and good choice of wines and ales. Very popular as could not book a table for dinner in the restaurant during our stay but food was being served outside and in the beer garden. Worth visiting.

Decided to go here for dinner a week ago with a client.The way the staff managed everything from entrance through to exit was very well organised. Weather it was intentional or not was the fact they did not come over and ask how your food was because people do this at the most inappropriate times when you have a mouthful of food. Would definitely go back here again for any occasion.

Omg in love with the place the best beds I have slept in rooms nicely decorated and big rooms. Staff go out of their way for you Matt at the front of desk is the nicest ever as is Donna in the restaurant these two members of work their socks off (picture of Matt attached make sure toSay hello to him a real babe) the best breakfast so big and tasty perfect poached eggs. Only 20 min drive to durdle door go and check this place out you willLove it.

If you are staying on one of the two campsites in Moreton, this is an excellent place to enjoy a really great meal. Good choice and the food is excellent

Superb food. Excellent service - friendly and attentive. Delightful in every way. Donna and team are running a hidden gem in Dorset.

Good service, nice food. Sat in the garden and had our drink order taken straight away. You do have a wait a little time before the drinks arrive perhaps because of Covid!Food was good.

Really not as good as expected, service terrible, not a great experience at all! Food not great manager doesn't know about customer service, didn't seem liked he cared!

My wife and I spent four midweek nights at the Frampton Arms at the end of July and used it as a base to visit Swanage, Dorchester and Weymouth. Served the purpose splendidly. In fact Dorchester and Weymouth can be easily reached by train from the Moreton station right next door to the pub/hotel. Our room and shower were very good and we were pleasantly surprised to find it had air-conditioning. Because of Covid19 there was no maid service, and there was only table service at the bar and restaurant, but we kept well stocked with teabags and coffee and didn't find this a problem. The food was good, especially breakfast, though the dinner menu was a bit limited. We made an error in not booking for dinner one night, as the restaurant and bar are very popular with those holidaying at nearby campsites and the restaurant was over-subscribed.

Before I get started, I came in both Monday and Tuesday for dinner with my family and furry friends and may I just say how amazing it was! The food was to high quality and good value for money- before the discount! I will definitely be revisiting with my family in the future. Now, the staff. Everyone did a good job and smiles were kept all night. We were greeted by the same girl both nights, Josie I believe her name was? Forgive me if incorrect. She made us feel so very welcome all night on both occasions and made sure we were all happy to her full extent. This is great service to see especially during these tough times of uncertainty, makes the night so much more calming. It’s good to see someone really involved in their customers and keeping on top of everything. She definitely stood out the most, also above the other young waitress who seemed to be doing not a lot most the night in both occasions? However all together, this has definitely been our favourite dining experience yet! Hope to see you all again soon

I went twice last week to this awesome pub.Their garden is safe and clean and has loads of tables, the service was very friendly and the quality of the ingredients was excellent! I had fish and chips with tartar sauce and minted leas which was just divine, the other day I had the salmon salad with chips as a side. The crime fraiche and salad leaves were all high quality.And now we get on to the sundaes! Woweeee! Stacks of fruit and sauces and very creamy ice cream. I had the Eton Mess sundae and my pal had the Lemon Meringue Pie sundae.I’ve booked up again as I’m so impressed. Loads of parking and good drinks selection. I love it and so did my friends!

I recently Went to the Frampton Arms with my family, we had booked a table in advance due to the new eat out scheme, when we arrived We were greeted by a lovely waitress who showed us to are table. The menu had been limited to accommodate for the new scheme but we could completely understand why, even with this limited Menu we had lovely options to pick from. When the waitress came to take our order she apologised for the wait but we could tell they were very busy so it wasn’t an issue. The staff were smiling and trying to keep upbeat despite the incredibly busy evening! We were told the food might take an extra 15 minutes due to how busy they were, and the food was definitely worth the wait. However, what actually shocked us was how some of the other tables were acting and how rude and in some cases aggressive they were being towards the staff, I feel people really need to respect the hard work that is going in to keeping the pub and restaurant going in such trying time’s and be understanding that everyone is trying their best to navigate through things that are new to us all!!

Me and my family were having a lovely stroll in moreton when we stumbled upon this gem of a pub! Although the pub was really busy upon arrival we were greeted by friendly members off staff who were very efficient and polite . We were told that there were no available tables inside but we managed to get a table in the back garden! Considering how busy the place was the wait on food was short and the food we ate was lovely! My parents really enjoyed their meals as did I!. I had the ham egg and chips and it was delightful!! I would definitely recommend this place and I will be returning when I’m next in the area.

We had a lovely family meal here and we were happy to be patient and wait a little bit longer due to COVID restrictions. The staff were friendly and the food was very nice. They are very busy with the 50 percent offer and for what we paid we couldn’t be happier. We will be returning ☀️

Now granted I accept the current COVID restrictions!Waited 30 mins for a drink order to be taken!Then 20 mins to be shown to table for a pre booked table. Then no drinks order taken when seated; no offer of can I get you anything. Food took for ever to be taken and even longer to arrive. Food was sub standard at best: hard fried eggs, undercooked steak, dry burger and sausages I would let serve to an animal (dry and more gristle than anything) The steak should be medium, try BLUE at most!I can forgive the time especially with current restrictions but no apology or explanation is not acceptable. To make things even worse, the COVID guidelines not being followed were very scary in the end. Staff touching their face with no washing process or sanitising in between orders. I do not proclaim to be an expert in the relevant legislation or laws, but no hand washing or sanitising from staff. No gloves to serve food, no one way system, no screens when tables are less than 10cms apart (less than a foot). Literally if I had lent my head back slightly I would have touched the person behind me. I even watched a staff member rub her face and nose for quite some time and then continue to serve customers and drinks - contamination without a doubt!I even heard the duty manager tell another staff member “what are we going to do Donna just quit” finding out that Donna was the site/general manager - really answers all the above points. Overall such a complete shame, a wonderful little pub with a great look and could be so much more. I would suggest unless you like rude abrupt service that keeps you waiting until they’ve had a chat and caught up with their social life; then still wait another 30 mins on top of that for food that wasn’t suitable to be served in an animal sanctuary - I REALLY REALLY WOULDNT BOTHER!

Me and my partner visited the Frampton Arms for a lovely evening meal and its safe to say it did not disappoint! From the moment we stepped through the door we felt welcome and relaxed. We were sat in the new conservatory, which was spacious and socially distanced. We had the 'Frampton Burger' for our mains and we could not fault it. AMAZING! We will definitely be returning.

Met friends for drinks and dinner. Fantastic food, great atmosphere and wonderful service especially by lovely Luke behind the bar. Prices very reasonable and wine nicely chilled, would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

We visited for a Sunday roast as our first trip out as a family after lockdown and we were all blown away by the food and service we received! Everything was cooked to perfection and we all felt very safe, welcome and well looked after. I understand the place is under new management (obviously it’s been a while since we visited!) and we were really impressed with every aspect of our visit, clearly in safe hands! We will be back for sure!

I am sure their Sunday Roast at lunchtime is good. We were really looking forward to our first restaurant meal since lockdown and ordered their Sunday Roast at 7pm, it was like in the lockdown the chefs had lost the will to cook, the meal that we received was very disappointing.Roast beef and a nut roast was our order but sadly when it arrived it looked as if it had been under a heat lamp since lunch time, the veg was almost unrecognisable, parsnips were so over cooked they snapped, carrots cremated, red cabbage lifeless , Yorkshire puddings crumbled and the mustard had a thick skin over the top.Biggest mistake was settling the bill, we were so shocked by the quality I asked to speak to the manager but again their response was like our meal, not very impressive. Positive rating: THE SERVICE WAS GOOD..

On Sunday myself and family decided to visit The Frampton Arms for a Sunday roast, and ‘Wow’ is about all I can say, Two of us had the chicken and one the beef, and I honestly couldn’t recommend it more! The chicken was seasoned beautifully and the vegetables was cooked to perfection, I know that this is Probably a temporary thing due to the Covid restrictions but I would rather a meal like we had on Sunday than the old carvery any day!! The staff were all very attentive and although we could tell they were just finishing off after a clearly busy lunch service we were very impressed throughout! Have told everyone i have spoken to since to give it a go as soon as possible and we will definitely be back!!

My husband and I stayed at the neighbouring camp site and visited The Frampton Arms on the first night of our stay. We were given a table in the dog friendly area of the restaurant as we had our two dogs with us. We received a very warm welcome and the dogs were showered with attention and treats which they loved!I had the scallops for starters which were cooked to perfection, I could have eaten a lot more of them. Hubby had the mackerel pate, which I managed to sneak a taste of and it was incredibly tasty, so light and yet packed full of flavour.Main course for me was the smoked salmon salad with chive creme fraiche. It was absolutely delicious and very fresh tasting.Hubby had the trio of sausages with mustard mash and bacon and onion gravy, again the taste of which was delicious, with locally sourced ingredients.The staff who served us were all polite, friendly and attentive.Overall, the quality of the food and service we received was superb thank you!

During my holiday in February I visit several times. Each time I had a absolutely fantastic meal. You simply cannot beat their carvery for quality or value Great staff. Great food, Great atmosphere.

We were seated in a cold room annexed to the main restaurant. One single radiator, not even warm to the touch. Having opted for the carvery, we had to carry our plates (fortunatety they were not very hot!) through another eating area, a bar eating area, another bar eating area (3 deep in people trying to get drinks!) before returing to our table. Nothing short of a route march and, in terms H&S, a nightmare! The beef was so rare that we couldnt cut it, blood all over the plate. I queued at the bar to get some steak knives, but even they wouldn't cut it, we were forced to return the meat uneaten. I complained to five members of staff, and each thanked me sayingthat they would advise the chef!!! Every time I wanted to speak to someone I had to queue at the bar, including paying at the end which took over 15 minutes. This was supposed to be a special occasion for our friends, I was so upset. As a local, I have patronised this establishment for over 50 years and through all manner of changes, never, ever, again! HB

Absolutely fab. All of it. The carvary was delicious and not just the usual veg. Can't praise it enough. Excellent value for money.

We are working away and it is an absolute pleasure to find a pub serving great food with the staff being very friendly, nothing is too much trouble for them

First visit , 12 of us , all had the carvery , excellent, probably the best I’ve ever had , the staff were helpful and polite , price good , would definitely go again

Booked an overnight stay for NYE. Prebooked dinner and received written confirmation from hotel. Unfortunately, discovered at check-in (4pm after travelling all day) that the restaurant was closed and there was no cooked food available, not even in the bar.

If you like a clinical type of gasto-pub, this is for you. It has become an hotel and so it is more than just a friendly meeting place.

Unfortunately I have to say the carvery was one of the worst I’ve had. The meat was tasteless, the leaks in cheese sauce didn’t look like leaks in cheese sauce, if there were any leaks present. The cheese sauce a very peculiar colour. The roast potatoes were hard and chewing and the gravy lacked any flavour and was thick more like a sauce. We were very disappointed and won’t go again

Friends who’d stayed on the nearby caravan site recommended it to me so I decided to go for Sunday lunch. Thankfully I mentioned my intentions to one of the wardens who advised me to book as it’s so busy. Very popular with the locals which is as good a recommendation as you can get. Staff are very friendly and welcoming and after a drink in the very comfortable lounge bar I was shown to a window table in the lovely conservatory. The carvery was great, a choice of three meats - beef, ham and turkey - all beautifully cooked, roast and new potatoes, good choice of vegetables, Yorkshire pud (huge!) plus various sauces including the best onion sauce I’ve ever had. No room for dessert but I had a lovely latte back through in the bar. All in all a great experience and I’d definitely go back.

Worth a visit. Food was lovely place was clean. Locals friendly. What more do you need. Dogs welcome. Lovely our door area.

After a trip to clouds hill this place was recommended to us . We arrived at 2pm it was very busy and the restaurant was fully booked we were told if we could find a table round the bar that would be ok ..we soon had a table and the husband ordered 2 carverys the meat was lovely and a good selection of veg the waitress was helpful we even stayed for dessert our only issue was the table of 4 adults who seemed to let there children run round the area by the toilet and go in and out the door into the courtyard holding it open half the time making it very cold in that area. we will come back but will book so we are not left feeling cold while eating

As staying at the near by campsite, was told by campsite staff about the walk and dog friendly pub 5mins away, so on a very wet and miserable evening visited the Pub, excellent place to visit the food was excellent I had a starter and the hamburger with extra bacon for a main, I could not get over how good this food was, also the staff were very helpful and friendly and even made a fuss of the dog giving her a treat.

10 of us went last night for a few drinks and dinner, we're from the local area. My first visit since the refurbishment. I was disappointed they have got rid of the RAF memorabilia which as an air force veteran I always liked as a tribute to the WW2 airfield that used to be there. The new decor is all a bit boring with little relevance. Beer and gin selection was good.

A lovely mid September day and all I wanted was a pint in a sunny beer garden. The selection of lager in this place is relatively limited. I sense it is more a restaurant than a beer focused pub. The small courtyard was nice but aftrr just 30 mins, at 16:45, the sun disappeared behind a big tree. Unfortunately the alternative wasn’t possible as they only have 4 or 5 tables in the huge sunny garden, all with ‘reserved’ on them.

An impromptu visit with a fussy son in tow! We all had the carvery, we loved it as usual, and our son didn't stop raving about it! The meat was tender and flavourful, and the special leeks....oh my!!

Our party of 5 were staying locally at a caravan site a 5 min walk away and we had been told that this was a place to visit especially for their carvery and local ale, couldn't have agreed more about the carvery, will be back to try the ale properly!

Stopped here for lunch. Very nice building, must of undergone a refurbishment. Nice surroundings. We received a friendly greeting and seated in the restaurant very quickly. The menu is very limited and we both opted for the carvery. The food was nice and service from the staff was excellent.

What a wonderful place. Great a la carte menu, tasty carvery and stunning desserts.

I used to live nearby and knew John and Jeanette, previous owners very well. So visiting friends I called for lunch. I had fish and chips. Poor soggy batter and overpriced. The couple on the next table both returned their meals and received a luke warm apology and they had their money refunded, but no real attempt to sort the problem. I doubt if they will return and neither will we. Of the thirty years I used the pub previously John would never have served sub standard food

We are on holiday here for a few days and it is the closest pub. Service was polite but slow. They make a big deal of having an indoor and outside menu! I don’t understand, are there two kitchens which can’t cross over? Our meals were ok, puddings better than mains. Get in before 6 and you won’t struggle for a table.

we have been here before about 3 years ago and the food was great. It now serves ok pub food about the same quality as Wetherspoons. Very disappointed. Also as others have said they did not honour the promised discount from the adjacent campsite as “the food is cheaper than it was”

Went for carvery on Monday 12th August. I asked for the nut roast and was advised it had to cooked separately.That said the timing was well planned and I was advised when to go to carvery. Three of us all agreed the food was delicious

Carvery was really nice with great selection but the staff were not with it. Me and my boyfriend arrived at around 7.30pm on a sunday and asked at the bar if we could eat in the restaurant which they advised us of course and directed us to the back when we got to the arch to go through we waited by the desk and could see 4 staff standing round a table chatting and 2 of them looked at us and quickly looked away, eventually my other half walked over to them and said can we get a table please and they very slowly checked and took us to a table. We then had a lovely meal but took us 4 attempts and around 20 minutes to grab a member of staffs attention to get the bill and then a further 10 minutes for them to try and find our bill as it hadn't been entered into the system correctly and they were all blaming each other for who hadn't done it. When they eventually brought the bill over they plonked it on the table and said you pay at the bar as they walked off. We were too tired by this point to complain so paid at the bar and left. So lovely food but don't expect a service.

we had a family meal here, some with the carvery which looked and tasted great plus other meals from the menu. All were 1st class and reasonably priced. Also we had breakfast next morning, this again was great with a large choice from the cooked side as well as the cereals etc. Overall it is a 10/10 place to go.

Visiting the Frampton Arms a couple of days ago for drinks and then came back for the carvery. I had the roast gammon, it was cooked lovely! I plenty of vegetables on offer. Staff were friendly and happy to help.

We called in for a breakfast and were treated to a fantastic buffet hot and cold breakfast for £7.99. It was the best value breakfast we have had in a long time. We were staying at the Caravan and Motorhome Club Site five minutes walk away. What a fantastic place to have on your doorstep whilst on holiday. Everything about our cooked breakfast was faultless and the sausages to die for. Well done to the team, we shall always call in when in the area.

I must say I am impressed. Having been here a couple of time under the previous carnation I vowed never to return, I am glad I did! The place has received a fantastic overhaul that while much needed has improved everything to a level very often achieved. The staff are pleasant, helpful and efficient, the food has been escalated above good to marvelous and the overall decor has become fantastic, so impressed am I with this establishment I shall definitely be returning before departing my holiday. Well done to all concerned for the fantastic turnaround you have achieved.

This is a nice pub we used it a few times during our stay at the local motorhome site. The drinks and food are reasonably priced for the area. The Carvery is good and well priced during week but more expensive on Sundays but still good. Outside seating areas are nice with separate areas for children and adults to sit if you wish. Menu as well varied with a good selection, the turkey stuffing and cranberry sandwich was excellent. Beer choice was ok but nothing special, staff mostly attentive and helpful. Nice and clean toilet facilities as well.

On a busy road next to a railway crossing. Room was clean (recently refurbished), small but adequate for one night. Good breakfast. Room had a large TV and air conditioning but window did not open. We had a twin bedded room and one bed was very hard the other medium.
