The Gardeners Arms in Adur

Excellent lunch warm friendly staff portions more than adequate enjoyable quality assured no reason to miss out look fwd to going back

Steve, Kat and their staff always give a warm welcome, food is great, the atmosphere brilliant and all beer well kept. Please support your local and give Steve and Kat the chance to show you how well they run the pub and give their food a go especially the Sunday Roast

THE PUB IS OPEN AGAIN!! Great couple, Kat and Steve are running the place now. Come and check it out for yourself, well worth it.

Steve and Kat opened the pub again just before Christmas so come and use it or lose it. Welcoming log fire visit, found new billiards and darts and a spruce up with new hand designed signage. New Wednesday Quiz ran by the landlord. Found London Pride and HRveys best with excellent range of lagers, ciders and Guinness. Plus the usual brands of spirits and wines. Kitchen is now open as well and Had a wonderful Sunday lamb roast (but could had Beef, Chicken or Pork) and you can see my picture below how good it is! More plans for food coming.

Best local pub I have had the privilege to visit and I am very fortunate it is my local! Went with a friend for some drinks, decent prices, grwta quality beer and very friendly staff... Will always keep me going back.. We didn't have food this time but can recommend this too

When so many pubs now are caught between brand chains and local pubs who don’t know how to keep their beer and you can see how so many micro breweries have taken off. Many traditional pubs staff and owners just don’t talk or welcome to people.🤷🏻‍♂️ The Gardeners, Maggie and her family and crew are lovely people and run well with a comfortable setting and customers feel relaxed, enjoyable and safe! The beer and drinks are perfect and good grub can be found particularly Sunday Roasts. A REAL pub in the middle of Sompting village and certainly one of the best in the Worthing and Adur regions.

Best pub in the area by a mile.. Great friendly team, great well kept beer and it is so so nice to be back in my local... Have to support local business... Well done Maggie and team...

What a pub! Incredible. Beer amazingly kept, food is excellent too. The staff are outstanding and welcoming. It is great to see such a great British Pub flourish. It is always busy and the atmosphere is homely. New year's eve again was top notch. Recommended highly.

My honest opinion is that there is no better traditional family pub in Sussex, staff are incredibly welcoming and make you want to return... Beer is extremely well kept and food is excellent. Obviously will be back haha

First place I went when I moved here 3 years ago and still my favourite roast. Would definitely recommend this place

Decided to go here for lunch due to the reviews but unfortunately very disappointed. It is true that the staff were very friendly and welcoming but that's where the positive experience finished for us. It was a particularly cold day and the heating had broken down, unfortunate yes, but the open fire and electric radiators placed in the bar didn't warm the bar at all. Because of this issue the restaurant wasn't open at all and we had to sit in the bar, which might look alright in subdued light at night but looks very shabby in the day. The food was nice pub fayre but no better than that. The place feels like a local drinkers pub that hasn't had much money spent on it in recent years and certainly won't be on our list in the future.

Have had numerous visits this year... So welcoming... Have bought friends along to, equally as impressed. New years eve was incredible... Great food and atmosphere... Staff top it off, all amazing Love it

Called in for a drink and was pleased to see Crib being played in the resteraunt the place is very much a traditional bar with nice people behind the bar

Maggie and the staff at The Gardener's Arms were simply, the BEST. They provided the food and space for a recent post funeral light lunch buffet. It was wonderful. Maggie was so attentive and caring, ensuring that everyone was comfortable and served with tea and coffee. The food spread was amazing - and so much of it. Everyone eat well and there was loads of leftovers, which many took home with them (and even more remained). Such tremendous value. Thank you to The Gardener's Arms, who I and the family highly recommend. Stephen Smith

This was a random visit, a last minute decision to eat out. We had not been to this pub before and were surprised at the friendly staff, good food and excellent prices. The restaurant was almost empty when we arrived but by the time we left there wasn't a spare table. I guess the locals knew something we didn't, at the time.

We held an 80th Birthday meal for 21 in the separate function area. Nothing was too much trouble for Maggie the landlady. Among our guests we had vegetarian, vegan & gluten free requirements & this was all accommodated. The food was cooked really well & it was all served together. Fantastic private area in the pub for a party/function. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

We drove past the Marquis (didn't look very inviting) and drew up outside the Gardener's Arms. Not much room in the narrow street but there is a car park.I had the steakand kidney pudding - huge with plenty of vegetables. It was excellent. My friend had the sausages and mash - three big sausages. His was good as weel.Just off the busy A27 this is an excellent find.

A pleasant way to spend a summer's evening. Cheerful atmosphere. Can sit outside on the patio and enjoy a drink or two.

we have eaten many times and the food is excellent, always fresh veg and cheap prices good selection of drinks. plus a very friendly atmosphere. well worth a visit when in the area.

My favourite pub by far. Especially when its cold outside and you enter into a cosy and welcoming atmosphere. We had been to Alishaan (group of 20) and we went in here after for drinks, great choice.

We came here for an early Christmas dinner with friends, nine of us on a Monday evening. There was a friendly welcome, the organisation was efficient and the atmosphere was cosy. The menu was short and traditional, offering simple food, perfectly cooked.

This an excellent free house , selling real ales, usual other beers and wines. The food is really well cooked, all fresh vegetables and good meats. I with my wife usually go there as it is really good value for money, for a lunchtime meal.

went here with family and friends for another sunday roast as always really nice can never fault this place. Staff always very friendly and would highly recommend this place

We have been coming here for Sunday lunch for several years and the quality of the food has always been excellent and at a very reasonable price compared to many places in Worthing. The wine is also good quality and very reasonably priced.

As the marquis not serving Sunday roast at the moment we ended up here. We were apprehensive as not been here before, what a pleasant surprise. Could not fault the food - truly home cooked- not carvery bulk. The service was friendly and efficient. The waitress was very attentative and nothing was too much trouble. A jewel tucked away in Sompting. We will definitely be visiting again, especially as we can book in advance and reserve meat of choice.

Had lunch there today the food was lovely freshly cooked and fresh veg not frozen like some pubs. Would definitely recommend it. Wonderful service and friendly staff.. value for money

Excellent village pub, family run friendly staff and the food is always tasty and reasonably priced we have been coming here every week for 8 years and never disappoints.

Visitamos hoy aquí el marqués no almuerzo de domingo durante el verano. La comida fue muy decepcionante. Pedimos un asado de ternera Domingo almuerzo y una comida de macarrones con queso para mi pareja. La carne era de verdad el peor conocer que he comido. Tuve que dejarlo. No se podía ni cortar, pero no creo que el torpe cubiertos nos ayudó. Las verduras estaba tibia. El encuentro fue difícil como las botas viejas, como dicen. . . Los macarrones con queso. parecía que venía de una Tin heinze de una capa en la parte superior, que era chedder sólo una capa gruesa y se sirve en un plato poco profundo. . También es muy decepcionante. Para rematar moscas estaban volando alrededor y literalmente cayó en nuestros platos. A pesar de eso,. El servicio era bueno y el personal era lo suficientemente amable. Lección aprendida, no pensamos volver. Debería haber ido a un asador! Lo siento si esto suena duro pero siempre dan una crítica sincera.

We've been here several times and it never disappoints. We have just visited for Sunday lunch with a choice of beef, pork, lamb, chicken or gammon. I had a generous serving of beef which came with Yorkshire, roasties and six vegetables. Lunch was £9.00 with a bottle of house white at £12.00. Good, well kept real ales and no bloody televisions! Shame the railway carriage got neglected, it's an interesting feature and used to make a good dining room.

A good choice of real ales and a good menu to choice from. Group of four friends getting together and having a nice evening. Good basic food.

I cannot understand anyone giving this pub a negative review . We have been so often that we have worked our way through the menu and the food never fails to be excellent. Always fresh and steaming hot with vegetables cooked to perfection. Nothing is too much trouble for Maggie and her staff.I have had my birthday celebration there and a large group of us who meet up once in June and once for Christmas have been going here for many years and would not consider anywhere else. It feels like your in someone's home rather than a restaurant . You can take all the time you want and are never hassled to leave. What starts out as lunch turns into a party.

It's a real pub with decent people in it. The staff are welcoming and friendly, the landlady is lovely. The food is great, be it lunch or dinner, or just a snack. We've had Christmas dinner here two years in a row, absolutely smashing.

Old village pub great for ales etc but not for food, would only visit here for a drink not to have a meal

Went here for Sunday lunch to see how it compered to the Marquis of Granby.We had booked a table which was just as well as they were very busy and the two members of staff in the restaurant were running around like mad but looking after everyone really well and smiling !! I had the lamb , hubby the pork and two others beef. We had to wait about 20 minutes but I feel sure this was due to veg being cooked fresh, so well done. This roast dinner is about £4 cheaper than the Marquis but you could tell why. My lamb could have been any meat , like wise the pork. I think it was the rolled variety and then sliced . Sorry if thats a wrong assumption , but I do like my meat from a proper joint . Plenty on the plate and piping hot but I prefer to pay more for better quality.

Was told The Gardeners Arm had good food, but three of us went in today & we were sadly disappointed, the roast pork was tasteless + dry, liver over cooked & the vegetables on all plates was lukewarm. Nice welcome and drinks, perhaps just a bad day in the kitchen as a Monday.

Whilst visiting friends we dropped in here for lunch. What a good decision! We were spoilt for choice on the menu and the price was right!The Pub is family run and we were made to feel most welcome.If you are in the area, drop in, you won't be disappointed!

Always fresh hot and appetizing food served with a smile. A pub full of character, with the railway carriage an interesting feature.

This is a lovely rustic pub that has a warm enviiting atmosphere. Went for Sunday lunch, lucky it was not busy but was advised in future to book to ensure a table as rare for it to be so quiet. The staff are all welcoming and friendly.Eating area separate from bar area so not too noisy. Shame there was no veggie option for the Sunday lunch. However I have found a Veggie menu at last. Had a choice of five dishes. Opted for veggie Lasagna which was really tasty although strange to have tomato in it which made it a little too wet. Had a really good bottle of Chardonnay which I highly recommend. Can't wait to go back again and try the rest of the menu.

Went for Sunday lunch lived in the area since April and been out for many Sunday lunches. I have to say this is by far the best.

What more do you need? Friendly bar staff, great beer and the atmosphere is relaxed and how it should be in a good pub.Harvey's was tasting amazing!

a real pub, just what the village needs. A nice atmosphere, good selection of beers, good food and a busy "local" bar...

Quality of food very good. Plenty of vegetables with meal so able to eat healthily. Can highly recommend liver and bacon and steak pie. Excellent value. Service very good.

A group of 10 of us turned up for lunch and someone on our side forgot to book us into the venue.The landlord was charming and welcoming and said it was no problem.Everyone one of us said how much they enjoyed their lunch, there were lovely specials and the menu was very varied. I had the special roast pork which was served with a good selection of vegetables, roast potatoes, yorkshire and lovely gravy.Followed by a tasty Apple pie and coffee.Service came with a smile and seemed effortless.Thank you, Gardeners Arms!

I visited this pub today with a group of 9 elderly people with various degrees of disability.Unfortunately my office had not made a booking and our arrival was not expected and something of a surprise to the staff.The man behind the bar (Carl?) took this in his stride and, despite being very busy, accomodated my group in a lovely area of the restaurant. Although he warned me that service may be slow for such an unexpected group, this did not prove to be the case.Without exception my group were treated with respect and good humour and they all enjoyed their meals. The value for money was commented on and the wish to return to this venue was unanimous.

We have been here on many occassions and every time we have been it has been a excellent meal & excellent service and friendly staff

Lovely roast although having booked in advance the veggie option let it down nut roast on the menu but when arrived only option was veggie sausages

Not too imposing from the outside but worth going in!Expecting a busy Sunday lunch trade, we had booked in advance. The restaurant was somewhat quieter than expected but that meant only a short wait before we were seen to.The tables were clean, cutlery wrapped in napkins was also clean.The general ambience was of a very traditional English Pub.The choices of roast were: Gammon - Beef - Pork - Turkey and Lamb; we had Gammon, Beef and Pork. They came with all the usual trimmings and a choice of sauces to hand. The portions were perfectly adequate with a good selection of nicely prepared vegetables. Puddings - the usual Treacle/Sticky Toffee puddings etc. plus a few others, just as one would expect.The opinion of us all....Very Good - perfectly nice lunch and all for just over £57 for the four of us, including a couple of double G&T's and a coke!We commend the staff for carrying on after their sad loss, please accept our condolences.

From Monday to friday specials for 4 99 from 12 to 2 also a good menu that is all day .I have had roast pork and chilli which were both good. Service is excellent and nice atmosphere.

This is kind of my local pub although I'm not a regular pubber.Food is always excellent, bar staff friendly & helpful and always a nice atmosphere, be it day or night.Good size car park, smoking area at the back & free wifi.Recommended

We visited this before going for a dinner this used to be a top bar full of life great service buzzing place it was sad to see such a great pub be in such ruin and empty

This is an excellent pub restaurant - the food and service is 5 staryou really feel you have been made welcome They have a wide selection of real ales and ciders - the have Staroprem lager on tap - which is worth a trip for

Went here 24th April with my family. We all had Sunday lunch and I have to say it was lovely. This was my 3rd visit and everything I have never been disappointed will be going again very soon

The Gardners arms is a traditional pub with a great atmosphere. They have excellent real ales and friendly staff. It is refreshing to find a pub with no big screen TV'S or fruit machines.

I've driven past this pub hundreds of times and have often promised myself I'd call in. With friends visiting today I finally did, at lunchtime. I was not disappointed. Parking is simple in the dedicated car park and you enter to a cosy atmosphere and an imposing but friendly giant of a landlord. There is a big variety of real ales on the pumps plus a good selection of wines. The menu is varied, from snacks and starters to full steak dishes. Ordering was easy and the food appeared, hot and fresh within a very acceptable timescale. Mine was good old bangers and mash, just right for the weather and delicious. My companions had traditional fish 'n' chips (2) and a huge baked potato with prawns in Rose Marie sauce with generous salad. The landlord cleared our table in good time and brought the second round of drinks to us. A very good local dining experience.

Amazing pub. Always a warm welcome on arrival, great beer and food. This is the best pub in the village.

Such a family friendly pub. Warm and welcoming staff. Dog friendly which is great for our family. After a lovely walks along the downs we stop off to check out the lunch menu. We also take friends and family out to this pub for evening meals. New year was fantastic with my mum. Have spent birthdays and many special occasions here. Love this pub and cannot recommend it enough ☺

We had actually intended to have a meal at the Marquis up the road but for some reason they had stopped serving food? But luckily for us we found the Gardeners arms down the road in West Street. We obviously hadn't made a reservation but we were welcomed in and showed to our table by a very polite and efficient waitress. The choice on the menu was fantastic and would have something to suit any pallet, including good vegeterian options.There is also a train attached to the pub which made for a very fun and novelty visit to the restroom! We would also say that the food was very reasonably priced indeed. Nothing overly fancy but excellent home cooked dishes well presented that doesn't burn a huge whole in your pocket.

What a great little pub. Have to book and what can I say what a great lunch we had. Food was lovely and staff very nice too. Would highly recommend.

We have visited the pub before for a drink but on this Sunday, we fancied having a roast dinner with a pint of real ale in a nice cosy pub. This was just the ticket! My husband had real roast beef (not constituted), several slices, plus Yorkshire Pudding and lots of different vegetables. I had the roast lamb, equally good. We did not have room for the dessert but hope to make room for it next time! The service was very good and we were asked if we wanted any further sauces than were already on the table.

This is a nice place to go for a pint and a lovely sausage sarnie. A friendly pub (not just a local pub for local people..) I think they also welcome dogs. Reasonably priced- traditional rather than gastro pub. Would recommend. I'd use this for a local if I lived nearer.

Popped in on Tuesday for the quiz nite which was amazing and jam packed. We had come over from dinner at the Marquis across the road which was awful and we couldn't finish our meal so we were still hungry. Although it was quiz nite and they were super busy they were still able to rustle us up some fantastic bar snacks! Service was fab also and the place had a really family atmosphere 5/5.

Friendly pub with great staff and good English pub grub, yes it's now our local but we wouldn't call it that if the above wasn't true,love their Stilton burger never tried anything else as its so good I have it every time I go

We keep going back, yes it is our local but if it wasn't good we would go elsewhere.First of all, service is friendly, polite and really prompt. My wife and I decided to go to The Gardeners Arms for something to eat and a few drinks. Couple of our good friends decided to join us.We all had a main and a fair few drinks to help wash it down of course :) Food was lovely. Decent portions, tasty and proper pub food. As always I will let others comment on their meal, but I had the Blue Cheese Burger. It's HUGE and really tasty. Served with chips and salad. There were no burger buns, but the lady who served us explained this, so we knew what we were getting. Think I prefer without now haha. £7.50 was a bargain for what I got.We ended up staying for ages, didn't leave until 11.40pm in the end. When we left, the lady at the bar wished us a good night and again was really friendly. They make you feel really welcome in the pub, remembering what drinks etc when you go back up etc.Worth a try!!!

Excellent meal had with a large group. Maggie can always be relied upon for providing lovely food and a good atmosphere. It's a real favourite with our friends.

Popped in with my wife and a couple of our friends for a drink before wandering over the road for a Curry Night.Really well kept Harvey's Best - tasted excellent, although I did have to have 2 of them 'just to make sure'!!!My wife had a white wine spritzer, our friends - 1 had a diet coke and the other, like me had to check the Harvey's was ok hahaBest Pub in Sompting/Lancing by a country mile

We were a group of 25 plus and had pre ordered our food. The Sauvignon Blanc offered was poor but the Rioja very good.Starters: duck confit was excellent, the shrimp starter excellent and chicken liver pate good. Mains: fillet steaks had a burnt taste probably due to not cleaning grill which was a great shame. Lamb en croutes was was average. Puddings were really good.

The Gardeners is our local, but we have 2 young children so don't get to go out for a drink together all too often.So Friday night, the children with their grand parents - so we chose to pop along to The Gardeners Arms for something to eat and a few drinks. We hadn't eaten in this establishment before but thought we would give it a go. My wife had Sausages and Mash to eat and white wine spritzer to drink (a couple). She was really pleased with the quality of the food and would order again when we return. I had the blue cheese burger and chips, again, the food was top notch and both meals were extremely reasonable.I was on the Harvey's Best and had a good few, to make sure it was ok of course!!!!Service was really good, both the ladies behind the bar were attentive and friendly. Good atmosphere too, so will be returning more often for a couple of drinks.Would recommend.

Went to this pub with my Mum, Aunty and Sister after we had been to a wedding 21st Feb 15 . A friendly welcoming place. The food was excellent and so much of it. Three of us had liver, bacon and veg. I don't normally go for liver as it can be dry but it was cooked perfectly, 5 fresh vegetable plus the potatoes so 6. The other meal was chilli and rice another large meal. All meals very reasonably priced. I would be more than happy to go back for another meal if that way again.

I went there with a couple of friends as one of them had read a review in the local paper and we thought we'd give it a try. The food was excellent with large portions and plenty of vegetables. We sat near the log fire and were struck by the super friendly atmosphere of the place - the staff, people sitting, standing talking to one another, some even having dinner at the bar. You felt part of it. Loved the train carriage loos too.

My husband and I recently had Sunday lunch here,because"we had heard good things about it" although hadn't spoken to anyone who had actually eaten there! It was quite busy when we arrived and so we were pleased we had booked a table.The room has a welcoming,old fashioned feel to it. It was a very cold day and although there is a fire at one end,it was a bit chilly in there.The waitress was very pleasant and brought us the menus( which were a bit confusing...some prices on there,some missing and one showing a different price to that shown on the blackboard). There were no starters on offer..I don't know if you could have ordered one from the weekday menu?There was an excellent choice of roast meats(and a steak).I had the beef and my husband,the lamb.Both arrived as large plates of food,with big portions of meat,all piping hot.There was a great selection of vegetables on the plates,which already had gravy on.I would have preferred a jug of gravy separately.The food was very,very nice other than the roast potatoes,which had a musty,twice cooked taste to them and which were a very pale colour,more boiled and then browned than roasted. I had a dessert which was fine though nothing special but my husband was disappointed as although they offer 3 flavours of ice cream,they only in fact had vanilla.The only other disappointment was that the toilets,though very clean,had no hot water in either the ladies or gents which certainly doesn't encourage hand washing and which could be easily rectified by way of a small electric water heater. All in all,a very nice pub,nice staff,good food and all at a good price. We will certainly try eating mid week as the menu looked very inviting.

Extended family visited for lunch between Christmas and New Year, and had a nice set of Sunday roasts. Food was plentiful, and of a good standard, and service was friendly too. Train carriage conveniences are worth a visit. Nice for simple roasts and good value at the price. Not upmarket dining but good, traditional fare.

I went to the Gardeners Arms for a meal with my partner and grandparents, the food is amazing! The portion sizes are really big and so filling. The staff are also lovely, really friendly and honest too. Brilliant value for money, I had a huge chicken and bacon burger (inc. chips, salad) for around £6.50. Will definitely be returning and would definitely recommend to others.

If you want a really really nice, reasonably priced meal, go to the Gardeners Arms in Sompting. The atmosphere in this pub/restaurant is fantastic,everyone is so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. They have a lovely open fire and it is such a cosy place, the train carriage which has been set in the restaurant area is a lovely feature point, with the toilets being built into it. I would recommend this pub for a party or family get together.

We celebrated my mother in law's birthday in this lovely pub. The food was great and the service was excellent. They made a huge fuss of us and we all enjoyed ourselves. And last but not least it was brilliant value for money!

stumbled across this pub by accident. Looked nice enough and boasted CAMRA awards, so we gavce it a try.It is very tradtional but very clean, doesn't smell and has fresh flowers. Quite crowded with the older set. Didn't eat in the dining area as we had the Terrier with us but sat in the more comfortable main bar area.Good beer and the Rioja came from a bottle with a cork! Really quite good and far from the industrial crud served in the majority of pubs. Food was tradtional but very good - great range of fresh vegetables properly cooked.We shall return when down that way

Very friendly pub, quirky and full of character, it has a train carriage converted into toilets.... beautiful pub garden, wouldn't hesitate in recommending anyone especially with its traditional homemade pub food. Enormous portions and very reasonably priced.

This pub is one of the best ones you could go to locally, the food is really really nice and the staff are such friendly people. There is nothing I can say I dislike about this pub really worth going and trying

Came on a really hot day and sat inside. Pleasantly cool and not stuffy. My wife and I ordered a burger each. Bar maid was very polite and told us it would be ten minutes or so. For two huge burgers and a coke each we paid as good as £16. Food was lovely. A group over from us ordered the days specials which included a pie which looked amazing!We're not local to this area but we're really impressed with what we stumbled upon.

lovely pub, food ok, not as good as it was a couple of years ago, seems the recession has hit portion sizes and ingredient quality

Best steaks in Town, Camra pub of the year, fabulous barmaids, reasonable prices, the place to go in Lancing!

Have been here many times and the food is very good and excellent value. The staff are all friendly and the service is quick. Lovely atmosphere

A lovely traditional pub with friendly staff.pop in for a drink or have a meal. I have done both and have always been welcomed.

My fourth visit to this popular venue, as on previous visits the food was cooked to perfection, with a wonderful selection of vegetables, and good starters and sweets. The staff work very hard to ensure great service.If you are looking for a well run pub with great food, brilliant service, warm with a nice atmosphere,look no further.Highly recommended.

went at lunchtime, on a Monday , with my wife ,who has been several times with friends, a first time for me. special I had was lamb shank , red wine sauce mash, broccoli cauliflower carrots and cabbage , for only £4.50. wife had a burger and chips, couldn't eat it all, I only 5 minutes away in car , lived in sompting for 15 years , don't know what ive been missing, shall be going back again.

Visited this pub on many occasions. The pub is a traditional country pub and a warm welcome is always given by Mick and Maggie. Pub has won the Adur & Arun CAMRA pub of the year for the condition of the Cask Ales, which are rotated on a frequent basis. Food is excelent and good value for money in particular Sunday Lunch. Watch the external board for occasional entertainment. The rear patio area is South facing and this is the place to chill and relax

Not bad little pub tucked away just off the busy A27,the strangest place you'll ever find a railway carriage !.Food was decent enough but nothing to write home about but wouldn't write it off my list of lunch venues.

Excellent Pub beer fist class good choice Friendly staff and host, This venue is well worth the visit even excellent food

One of the best pub /restaurants we have ever been too well worth a visit anytime.The only place I visited that gets all areas as EXCEELLENT

Fantastic food enjoy the beer Garden perfect sun trap and lovely wine at good prices excellent staff esp mick the manager and sherri always up for a laugh

And quite rightly so, never had a bad pint or meal and the service is first class and friendly too..well done to Mick for turning this pub into the Jewel in the Crown

Friendly staff, good food at reasonable prices and well kept real ales, a real credit to what can be achieved by an independent landlord and staff with hard work and the right attitude. Thoroughly recommend

Wot a gem of a pub...good food, good service, great sirloin steak with all the trimmings (onion rings, mushrooms etc) for £8.75 and friendly staff and excellent real ale too!! Amazing!!

We haven't been here for a few years, but we're glad we tried it again. Good selection of beers, including Bass which I haven't seen for years. Not a huge menu, just the usual pub food, but everything's really good value and you get a huge plate full of food. The pubs got a great atmosphere- I just wish it was closer to me as it would be a great local.

Great beer (selection of well kept real ales), Great Food (mountainous Sunday Roasts for £6.95), Great Staff (friendly and courteous), a log fire when its cold and a heated area outside for smokers. Truly pleased to recommend this pub!

Hats off to Dave and co that have transformed this pub into a little gem, first class in every respect, excellent food, excellent real ales and friendly staff. Quickly becoming a favourite for Sunday lunch...huge carvery with every extra £6.95!

We have been regular visitors to The Gardiners Arms for over 2 years now, since it was re-opened after being closed for a few years. Mick and Maggie have done a fantastic job of breathing life into a dead pub and they have a wonderful team of ladies to help them pull the pints and serve the fabulous home-cooked meals in the restaurant. Excellent choice of Sunday roasts and desserts (if you have room!) There are no gimmicks....just a warm, friendly pub and good beer (for my husband). There is a roaring log fire in the winter too. If you visit in warm weather, there is a deck area behind the pub which faces south and has lovely views of the fields that surround the village. Enjoy, and say John and Sheila recommended them.ps. Had a few parties too and Maggie and The Team worked hard to give us a fabulous time.

One of the best local pubs around, staff are Excellent, the landlord wonderful, and the ale well kept
