The Hanmer Arms in Wrexham

Roast dinner very nice and service great staff very friendly will back again soon

Excellent experience, staff were so welcoming and attentive. After going about our day we spent the rest of the evening in the restaurant/bar area it was such a great atmosphere the staff and other customers/locals were all so friendly. our hotel room was spotless and had everything we needed. I was surprised how spacious our room was too which is always a bonus. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to come back.

We were going to be in the Hanmer area on Friday afternoon, but not sure of the time, so I sent an email asking if food was served all day. Yes, was the prompt response. So arriving about 3.45 entered the bar area. There was only one table occupied, a lady with young daughter. There were menus on the bar so we had a good look. And looked, and eventually as no staff made any appearance, left. Hospitality is suffering, so we were so glad to see the reopening of the Hanmer Arms. Shame we weren't able to sample any of the food or drinks...

We went for the Sunday carvery, the food was good, the staff poor, we had eaten our meal and the young girl came and asked if we had finished, we said yes she took the plates but did not offer us the dessert menu or even asked us if we wanted anything else. We sat there for a while, no one came back, so we got up paid for our meal and left.

Very nice pub, didn't stay, service was very good as was the beer and food.

Ducked into the pub for lunch on the off chance it would be good. Extremely friendly. Lovely lunch. Lovely ambience. Just what we wanted.

Beautiful historic, cosy, atmopheric pub. Exceptional service. Friendly welcome. Free pool table. Tasty food is personally made by the resident chef.

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Excellent quality meat and veg, highly recommended.

Rowdy run down pub , resembling that of a back street city centre pub . A far cry from what the Hanmer Arms used to be like 20 or so years ago , when it attracted a better class of clientele. Took 25 mins to serve a mug of Coffee and a pot of tea Appalling customer service. Needs a lick of paint, tlc and a proper, thorough refurbishment . Saw 2 blokes fighting and shouting abuse at each other on top of the pool table . Not the place to go to for a quite , cost drink or meal . No class or quality on display , apart from the Bayliss and Harding soap dispenser in the Gents toilet. It's sad when comparing the present version of the Hanmer Arms with the popular version of not that long ago. The Harmer Arms needed proper investment and refurbishment , not a temporary fix that is the case with the current clueless incumbents.

Very disappointed. Lack of lighting in car park meant it was tricky to find our way in. The dining area was chilly. There was a log burner but unfortunately not lit so not a very cosy atmosphere on a November night. I had booked a table for 5 on the strength of a midweek deal advertised on FB (free starter or dessert with any main). However the serving staff knew nothing about it. Eventually agreed to honour the deal when we queried it. Menu was very limited, chips and peas with most main dishes. Unfortunately there was no roast ham for those of us that wanted it, so had to choose something else. No peas available either so everything came with salad. Food was well cooked and tasty but 3 of us were unable to have the dish we wanted from the menu. Inevitably when the bill came we’d been charged for the starters and desserts! Had to query it again, due to lack of handover between serving staff. The staff were charming in very difficult circumstances, and did their best to put things right, but no one seemed to be in charge.

Amazing food and service tonight! Brilliant chilled atmosphere and delicious food! Can’t wait to come back ! See you soon!!

We stayed here last year for work a few times, brilliant place for us, nice and relaxed, instantly felt at home. As soon as we could, we returned for another stay leaving the chain hotels behind. They’ve been busy during lockdown because the whole pub has had a refresh, but in keeping with the feel of a comfortable local. The food is always good, Daniel is keen to please and the specials change regularly, which is great when working away for week after week. Even happy to sort a takeaway breakfast if we started really early or lunch if we were travelling back home. The place was great for us before, but Gemma and Daniel have really made a huge difference to the place already! Great work! Can’t wait to return.

Called in on the off chance of a table on a Sunday afternoon. They found us a table in the bar. We ordered 2 burgers but the Carvery looked delicious. Only had to wait 20 mins and our food arrived. Home made burgers home made onion rings also home made coleslaw. It was a perfect meal. We look forward to returning xxx

Called in on way home, last minute decision & staff quickly found us a table for 3.The Chef on the Carvery was the most patient chef I've met in ages! As I couldn't decide which meat I wanted he had no problem in carving myself a selection of each of the fine meats on offer. I had beef, lamb, baked gammon, turkey & pork which were all cooked to perfection! The generous selection of veg dishes were full, fresh, & tasty. My large but very light Yorkshire pudding managed to balance on top of my stacked plate, allowing me to fill it with a puddle of scrummy gravy. Next time I go I'm going to have the smaller main course plate & then perhaps I'll have room for my own Sticky Toffee pudding instead of just sneaking a tiny taster from family! Excellent quality meal & good value for money @ £13.95 Carvery & £5.50 pud

Visited this pub a few times, and it never disappoints! Always have a lovely meal!! Cannot beat the carvery on a Sunday!! Great service by the bar staff today, believe her name was Charlotte! But all the staff were really good and attentive! Would recommend to anyone!!

Popped in for a carvery when passing, staff were very accommodating found us a table by the fire. Carvery was excellent with a great choice of meats and generous portions. Bar staff were very friendly and I am now a fan of Hookie Gold. Will be visiting again soon.

Visited after not being for a very long time. I ordered the venison which came with mash and veg, the venison was over cooked and hence very dry, the mash that accompanied the dish wasn’t the best either, being very dry... I did advise the waitress who apologised. My husband had the fried chicken with hand cut chips. The chips were unfortunately very overcooked and had either been re heated or just cooked for far too long. (Funnily enough I did overhear another table complaining to the waitress about their meal also). Won’t be visiting again. The staff very lovely and attentive.

We visited on Saturday evening. It was very busy but the staff were very helpful. We waited for a short time for our table but the staff were attentive and kept us up to date. The food was amazing, we couldn’t fault anything. Again the staff were brilliant

Sunday carvery is great a little expensive but worth it as you get 5 meats and and a good choice of vegetables

Haven't been here for a long while and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Food was excellent,plentiful and the staff very friendly and accommodating. Definitely be back and very soon.

Food is exceptional, local ingredients, very generous portions and beautifully presented and cooked.Breakfasts to die for and carvery wonderful. Staff couldn’t be more helpful, can’t wait to go back.Stayed here for 2 weeks in their bed and breakfast and couldn’t believe how good and what exceptional value the meals are.The danger is you could put on weight.Also dog friendly with biscuits.

Travelled an hour for a local car club meet at this pub last week with my two young daughters, 4 and 2. We had our own area upstairs and were checked on regularly. My children were given pens and coloring books on arrival so they were entertained.The carvery itself was extremely good, one of the best I've had in a long while. The selection of 5 meats were excellent, I had the turkey and beef and there was plenty to go around. The chef carving the meat gave me some history on where the meat had come from and I was happy to hear that it was all locally sourced and very fresh. My kids loved it too.I had a word with the manageress and she saw that I only young children so only charged my for one child's carvery, brilliant value!10/10 would go again.

Really nice place to stay. Cute posh (almost motel style) terrace rooms.

Came for a meal with my wife and daughter! Couldn't fault the meal and service! Was served by maddie who was brilliant! I had the fish platter off the specials board which was delicious and filling! My wife had the steak and hooky pie which she said beautiful! All food was homemade which is rare these days! Will definitely be back and will tell friends and family to come. Highly recommend.

Hats off to the chefs here for keeping the carvery going for 7 hours!

It was my 76birthday,son and daughter in law booked it for the family 4/9 at 6-30,my wife and I son and d I law, my 3grown up grandchildren and one of there boyfriends,it was cold there,waited along time between courses,had much better food in many many other places,not be returning.

Wanting a light lunch i opted for a burner and chips.what came (eventually ,it was almost empty on a mid week lunch time) was a meal but spoilt by delivery on a piece of wood. Silly idea - you couldnt pickup this stack and no room to take it to bits.

We visited this restaurant on an extremely quiet Sunday afternoon. There was little to none of a welcome, we found our way to the bar where the staff struggled to even acknowledge us. A staff member sat us down eventually and took our drinks order without explaining the protocall of the food or offering menus. The carvery was extremely dry and unsatisfactory, on return to the table our drinks were brought over and spilt over one of our party who graciously helped the waitress to clean it up. Understandably this is an accident but there was no compensation or acknowledgment of an entire drink actually spilt on her and her food. In an attempt to enjoy the meal we then found hairs in the food and an end bill of £75 with nothing taken off. To say we are dissatisfied is an understatement.

We booked three rooms at The Hanmer Arms as a base for Tough Mudder at Cholmondeley Castle. The location and concept of the Hanmer Arms was excellent. Reception and greeting was good and food in the restaurant and at breakfast was excellent. Unfortunately the pump for the showers in a couple of our rooms had broken down meaning baths, so acceptable but not ideal. The rooms need some attention to upgrade & beware noisy guests, thin walls. Overall a good experience that in other circumstances could have been excellent.

Stayed there last night as one of our friends got married in Willington Lodge. As soon as we arrived it was busy with people all enjoying the afternoon sun. It's a beautiful Hotel. Gardens are gorgeous. We sat on out little Veranda in the sun. They had a real ale day on so it was full of people. Good atmosphere. Breakfast was excellent. Local produce from Home Farm lovely. I would definitely stay there again

good food, well cooked and presented rather than fancy, staff friendly, room clean, free car park at rear

We travelled a good few miles to eat here and it was so worth it ! They have the best staff, the guy behind the bar and the girl who served us were amazing, just the right sort of people for the job. We all opted for the car very, again the chef here was superb, very generous with the superb meats on offer (5), lovely yorkies (as many as you wish), nice selection of vegetables too and you can go back for seconds, which we found amazing. The desserts were also an absolute treat being good old fashioned puds...perfect ! Cannot wait to go back

Two Mills cycling club ride was to the Hamer Arms for lunch today. We Pre ordered sandwiches & chips for 20 plus cyclists. Treated to Victoria Sponge & beautiful scones. Great quality Thank You.

This place is a gem ! I’m so tired of ‘bloke oriented menus’ so The Hanmer Arms is so refreshing with a great selection of food choices, beautiful cooked and served by friendly, happy staff. The Sunday Carvery is amazing ... rare beef, med beef and well done, fab Yorkshires, lovely house red wine, great puds. Top local, love it !

We called in on Sunday lunchtime and were impressed by the friendliness of staff and delicious food. We opted for the carvery lunch and everything was cooked to perfection. The chef told us that most of their produce is sourced from farms within 5 miles, which is great to hear.

We stayed at The Hanmer Arms as it was the perfect location to enable us to attend a family wedding at near by Willington Lodge. We had three rooms, a family room, a disabled room and a double room. All three rooms were lovely and clean with fresh milk, tea and coffee and water in the fridge. We had a light lunch before the wedding and that was delicious. The staff were wonder and so helpful. After the wedding we had a fabulous breakfast and again, nothing was too much trouble. We had two children in our party, aged 6 and 3 and they were more than pleased with the small toy/book area to keep them occupied. It was very safe for them too, as the rooms were away from the car park and had gates we could shut to ensure they didn’t go far. Fabulous stay, highly recommend.

We had a family dinner here last night & was a good experience all around. All the food was great, service good too. The steak pie I had was excellent, very tasty & great pastry, the chips were great & a nice selection of vegetables too. Will definitely be back

Our cycle group were riding past at 11.00 AM and we realised that the pub was open.

Ventured here on Bank Holiday Monday. We phoned at lunchtime to see if they could accommodate 7 of us, they said yes so off we popped! When we arrived the place was very quiet. I ordered the steak pie and was told it was made fresh so there would be a bit of a wait (fine by us we had plenty to catch up on!) well when it arrived WOW! Huge chunks of beef, no fat in sight, gorgeous rich gravy and amazing chips. We also decided to go all out and order some pud! I went for the sticky toffee pudding and it was also amazing. This will be our new local for food. Proper home cooked grub with a friendly landlord who couldn’t do enough for us. Very happy with our visit and we will definitely be back!!

Table booked but not available at arrival, but became available some 40 minutes later. Dinner ordered for 4 and arrived about 80 minutes later.

A very late arrival, but I was overjoyed to see the little kitchenette, with a stock of wonderful coffees and teas. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, the food is superb, a return visit is already being booked.

It took us 12 months to return after a 2018 "chance" stop off for lunch.

Lunch, Supper, Bed & Breakfast. Restaurant and Room both clean and tidy, Staff friendly and remembered me from previous visit. Simple food rather than fancy but well prepared cooked and presented, and was delicious - Well done Chef's. Free car park at rear.

Ich war bereits das zweite Mal im Hanmer Arms. Wer das britische Lebensgefühl hautnah erleben will ist hier absolut richtig.

My wife and I live locally but had our first visit to The Hanmer Arms today.

We chose Hanmer Arms based on reviews, we had earmarked another, the reviews were positive and local to our needs on the night and thought worthy of choosing.

On the way back from racing at Bangor we were looking for somewhere to have something to eat and having seen an advert in the racecard found the Hanmer Arms.

We spent a couple of nights at the Hanmer Arms in the village of Hanmer, near to the picturesque lakes at Ellesmere. Our room was quiet and comfy, even including a mini fridge with fresh milk in it!

Stopped off for lunch while on the way to a supplier in Wrexham and we were in for a surprise! 12 noon and the place didn't look very open, however we were welcomed in and soon served drinks and given menus.

We recently stayed at the Hanmer Arms for a family 80th birthday celebration and all had the Sunday carvery. The food was fantastic, beautifully cooked and presented, plus the portions were extremely generous.

Amazing food, perfectly cooked, presented in, more than, generous portions and so yummy! The atmosphere was cosy, staff friendly and polite. Couldn't recommend this place more, we will be back again very soon to try the Sunday Carvery!

Came for the Sunday carvery for my mum's birthday. Good choice of meats and plenty of variety of veg. Deserts were also delicious! Staff attentive even though it was busy. Looking forward to our next visit!

We came here with friends and had a fantastic meal.

What can I say, we booked, arrived 5 mins early, and we were asked to wait whilst our table was prepared, 10 mins after our booking time, still not seated, no drinks offered whilst we waited

Me and my husband visited the Hanmer Arms on January 20th this year. We have always gone to the Hanmer Arms and have always had a lovely meal there. The staff have always been polite and gone out of there way to help.

Visited the Hanmer again for a carvery and wasnt dissapointed at all. Stunning, fresh food. Lovely staff and good value for money. Will be coming again :-)

Visited today for carvery. We wer seated in restaraunt room but felt cold and unwelcoming. Bar was busy and looks cosy. Nice choice of meats but majority of e.thing else looked like been standing all day! Not that appetising i must say. The price has gone up £2 since last visit. I wouldent say its any betr than carvery chain pubs which cost average £8. Wont be recommending or returning.

Once again we had Boxing Day Lunch here, it was fantastic.

Lovely country pub in a gorgeous little village. Tried the burger when visiting once, presentation of the food was lovely.

We visited the Hanmer Arms last month 20 of us for a Sunday carvery at short notice and food and service was excellent. We often visit with family and children and the food is very good and definitely worth a visit.

We held a 90th birthday party for my Father in law in a private room. We were a party of 23 and we were looked after really well. 11 of our party stayed over as some traveled from Scotland,London and Devon others were local to the area.

Another family visit to the Hanmer arms as it was my amazing and beautiful nans birthday. We all had the roast carvery and it was brilliant! A first class ticket to flavour town. The staff are very friendly and polite and the food is brilliant. Well done.

We were there for a late Sunday afternoon lunch following the Shropshire triathlon. Apart from the Yorkshire puddings (which were slightly hard) everything was excellent. There was a nice relaxed atmosphere, friendly service and a good range of drinks, with some nice ales.

took ages to take our order (dinner) even when place only less than half full Poor amateur, management. Food OK although poor vegetarian selection & vegetable side order minimalist.

What do you want with a night out?

Proper country pub where everyone gets a warm welcome. The staff were very friendly ensuring that everyone had an enjoyable evening. Our food was delicious and the helpings generous, and you could tell by the flavour of the vegetables that they were locally produced and very fresh. The deserts have extra taste as they are made on the premises by accomplished chefs. Well done all round.

Absolutely first class establishment not to be missed. 6 excellent ales and a chef who clearly knows his business. Also very good accommodation.

We stayed Saturday night over the bank holiday weekend at The Hanmer Arms. All the staff are so helpful & friendly & made our short stay an enjoyable one. The rooms are chalet style, bright & airy, we loved the small fridge with real milk for our cup of tea. The food in the restaurant both at the evening meal & breakfast in the morning was fabulous. For real ale overs like me there are 7 real ales to choose from. All in all an enjoyable stay.

Clean hotel with friendly staff. Good tasty food well prepared and nicely served. Large free car park at rear.

This place has got to be one of the best pub restaurants in the area. It never fails to deliver top quality food at reasonable prices, served by friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. This time, dad and sis had the carvery and I, having specific meat requirements, opted for the fish salad. Unfortunately for me, the fish of the day was mackerel but fortunately for me, the off-duty chef who happened to be in the restaurant at the time was more than willing to get me a nice meal, and he arranged for me salmon as a replacement. It was a lovely meal, as usual. We've been about six times within the past few months, and always come away satisfied. Our waitress this time, Kate, despite having worked the busy Sunday shift was full of life and a delight who would pop up at our table, often to my dad's surprise, and make sure we were all alright. She recommended me the raspberry crumble for afters, which was delicious. I've previously opted for the toffee pudding, so was looking to change things up a bit. The crumble is a very close second to the toffee pudding! Looking forward to my next visit :) in summary, great food, reasonable prices, lovely staff!

Had a family meal here. The food was good although the meat (steak) didn't seem to be the best quality. Nice variety of items of the menu. The staff were helpful, pointing out the rear terrace for a quiet drink whilst were ordered and fetching us when ready to serve. Kate our waitress was a bundle of energy, very polite and attentive, chatty but not interfering. She told us bout the place and the food - made the visit really.

We found ourselves in Hanmer as reluctant travellers who failed to book accommodation. But sometimes flying by the seat of your pants has its payoffs. We stayed two nights in the fantastic Hanmer Arms. The service was exceptional, especially that of Gemma, whose energy and commitment to the clientele was amongst the best I’ve seen anywhere. On our last morning we were served by Fiona whose experience made her an exemplary host. If that wasn’t enough the food was outstanding. We had two breakfasts and two dinners at the Hanmer and these were amongst the highest quality meals we have had at any establishment in the UK. While the rooms are not of the highest standard and lack a few amenities, they are in the process of development. Writing such a glowing review creates a dilemma; do I really want to reveal this wonderful place (the tow itself is quiet and the church and mere make a great activity).

The new management and staff are doing a really good job here.The food is first class and there is always a good stocked bar providing a good selection of beers,wines and spirits.

Booked into the Hamner Arms very late for a weekend break with my wife and daughters dog! They couldn’t have been more friendly and inviting from the minute we arrived to the morning we left. We were a little concerned about accommodating the dog but there was a small closed off garden to sit in right by our room and they were more than happy for us to take the dog into the friendly bar area for our dinner. They even provided doggie treats!! The dinner and breakfast were very tasty with a massive range of menu options to choose from as well as loads of real ales! Will be going back sometime to check out the Sunday lunches which looked great. Would certainly recommend.

We stayed at The Hanmer last night as we were attending a wedding at Iscoyd Park! We arrived early and was very happy to find out our room was ready so we could get changed before leaving for the wedding. As we found out, taxis in the area aren’t great and after being let down very last minute the wonderful housekeeper drove us herself to Iscoyd so we didn’t miss the wedding! The staff couldn’t be anymore helpful, the Room was lovely and clean and the breakfast was beautiful! Would definitely recommend!

Fish pie really scrumptious, only thing letting the Hanmer down is the carvery, not up to same standard as a la carte meals and also the dead room at the back of the pub which is just so unatmospheric, it definitely needs a little CD player going in the corner, you feel like you have to whisper if there are two tables in there.

We went to see what this place was like as it is dog friendly. We were very impressed. Really friendly, service and food excellent.

My parents love this restaurant and go here for special occasions. I live in the United States and wanted to treat my dad on his 60th birthday. With Matt's assistance I was able to have a gift card delivered to their door. Matt was truly great to work with, he was prompt, kind and generous and very willing to help me make this happen. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Great customer service!

EXCELLENT meal 10/10 for quality & value for money. The choice of top quality roast meats carved by Chef as you desired were sirloin of beef, boned leg of lamb, baked gammon, leg of pork, turkey served with mega size, light as a feather Yorkshire puds! Delicious Vegs on the day were roast & new potatoes, carrots, broccoli, red cabbage, leeks in sauce, Mediterranean roast veg all serve yourself. Plentiful condiments were available to help yourself & of curse lashing of scrumptious gravy.

Had a fantastic meal on Sunday the carvery was as good as I have ever had and the staff were friendly and the hotel rooms looked great . If you want to have a nice drive into the country and a beautiful village with a lake nearby go

What a lovely little village and a gorgeous place to stay. Very relaxing great little pub and hotel. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and they had the carvery on from 2-8pm so we had a late lunch early dinner! Delicious by the way. The food is cooked beautifully. Had a savoury omelette for breakfast which was also delightful. Couldn't eat it all so packed up for lunch. All up a great place to stay. Close to Whitchurch too.

What a great place to stay. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful - the food was excellent - and the rooms clean and comfortable. Ideal stay when in the area

Working at Dogfest North at Cholmondley Castle hotels difficult to find that weekend.

Went over to the Hanmer Arms for a family Sunday lunch.It was our first visit since it re-opened sometime ago. It turned out to be a perfect meal from their excellent carvery. A great choice of meats and delicious vegetables, followed by excellent lemon posset

Had a fantastic meal here with family. A nice little pub to meet and have a good chat. They have ales, a cracking menu and previous visits a wonderful and filling cavery

Over 30 of us went for lunch, all prebooked and everyone's meals were lovely. I had the crispy duck salad and chicken supreme which were excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful and service very good.Decent coffee was also included Lovely outside area as well.

Rooms separate from the main building, similar to a Chalet, so lots of people passing your door and window to get to their rooms etc.. nice little grassed area to sit. Room very standard. Old furniture. Beds ok. Bathroom ok. Large shower.

Came in on a Wednesday evening, the food and the customer service was absolutely fantastic. We had the salmon roulade and the duck salad to start which were absolutely amazing, being a chef I can’t complain the flavours were so well put together and they were truly incredible. For mains I had the sea bream special with my other half having the assiete of fish. These were truly stunning, never tasted flavours like this in anywhere we have visited before. 10/10. For dessert we had the amaretto and pistachio parfait and the sticky Toffee pudding which were both amazing. And even better we managed to have a conversation with the head chef Tom who

Last night we visited The Hanmer Arms. We hadn’t been for ages and last minute managed to get a table

Great food,in fact amazing food, delightful staff, relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We hope to return soon....

We stayed for 2 nights whilst motorcycling in the local countryside.

Dad and I came in for a late dinner, both pretty starving, on a Sunday evening. There were plenty of options for both of our tastes and requirements on the regular menu, and the specials board also boasted a lot of variety. The presentation of the food was only superceded by the taste. For the main, I had the salmon and udon noodles, which was exotically and ingeniously presented on a banana leaf. Dad had the lamb shank shepherd pie and both our plates were left clear. For dessert, the sticky toffee pudding was a winner and definitely hit the spot! As well as the tasty and eye-pleasing meals, our waitress (Holly) was brilliant. We rate her 10/10! She was friendly and really helpful when we asked her about items on the menu. I often find it hard to make decisions, but she was very patient and described the meals and helped us to have a really enjoyable evening. I hope (and I'm sure) we'll be back again soon!

Husband and I stayed here whilst visiting family in Threapwood, it was a lucky find. Quirky but completely fabulous. Friendly staff, lovey pub and clean accommodation. Clean white cotton sheets and towels, a bath and lots of hot water. Breakfast was better than the Savoy in London.

Took a right turn off the main road on our way to Oswestry for Easter weekend. Where only wanting a drink but the special board enticed us. Husband had Creamed Veg Root soup....mmmmm I had a small fish and chips....not small at all. The batter...

So many people had recommended the Hanmer Arms to us but we hadn't had chance to get there until last weekend.We'd booked ahead for Sunday lunch as there were 6 of us and it's good job we did! It was heaving but the staff were calm and friendly and we were soon settled to enjoy a truly fantastic roast dinner. We shared a few nibbly bits to start - the rarebit and the whitebait and calamari, both were very tasty. The carvery however was out of this world - a huge amount of choice and everything was simply gorgeous. Fantastic roast potatoes and parsnips, mouth watering rare beef, juicy gammon and tender pork with the crispiest crackling and every sort of veg you could wish for, as well as an array of sauces. The yorkshire puds were as big as a plate and so light and fluffy we asked for the recipe! It was all just wonderful and we were stuffed to the brim. However we did manage to share a couple of puds - the Strawberries and Cream ice cream was beautiful and the treacle tart surprisingly light. The staff were all friendly, helpful and obviously took huge pride in their restaurant. We will definitely be back!

I cannot speak highly enough of the Hanmer Arms! We spent 2 nights here for a wedding weekend and our experience of the pub was simply wonderful! Matthew & Amy are very friendly hosts and they and all of their staff were most attentive and helpful.

Under new management for last 6 months. Spotless ensuite well equipped rooms. Extensive range of beers in bar. Excellent smiley staff and delicious food.

Haven’t been here for years and heard about the refurb so gave it a try.

Visited the Hammer previously for the Sunday carveries, which were fabulous. Thought we would try normal menu, and we weren't dissappointed. Lots of choice on the Specials Board and also the main menu. My wife had Lamb Shank Cottage Pie and I had Steak and Hooky Pie. Both meals were generous portions and both tasted amazing and well presented. Very attentive front of house staff. A very pleasant all round experience. Thank you all.

Quaint country pub, restaurant and hotel in quiet village. Plenty of places to visit if you use this as a base. Pub side still has locals and pool table. Extensive restaurant menu at reasonable prices and attentive service. Plenty of dining options including private rooms.
