We went the lancaster for a light lunch, but the food was so lovely we eneded up having a 3 course meal instead. The chef's special cheesecake was just fantastic 😋 The place has a great atmosphere and the staff are so friendly and asertive. We will be going back soon very soon 😍

Incredible food here! Table of 4 people, we all had very different dishes and all had high praises afterwards too. I’d love to come back again one day and try the steak. I tried a bit of steak and it was very good. As far as beef burgers go this was one of the best I’ve had. Staff were super friendly and helped us out alot too. Can’t recommend enough. 10/-0

We had our wedding meal and evening drinks at the Lancaster Arms in February 2024. From the first communication with Ian and Sharon, they were both extremely helpful and accomodating of our requests. We all felt very welcome and relaxed in the private dining room during the day and they were kind enough to reserve some tables in the bar for the evening. The food was delicious and all of our guests commented on the high quality of food and presentation, served by very attentive staff. We would highly recommend the Lancaster Arms for any occasion, especially the private dining room as having our own space was ideal for our wedding day. Thank you to all of the staff that made our day special, we are looking forward to using the lovely garden in the summer too!

Unfortunately this didn't live up to expectations had prawn linguine which was very bland no taste, my partner had the pie and was dry, was disappointed as heard good things about this place, wouldn’t return waste of money!

We came as had heard good things about the food, it was super quiet in there so we got a table fast but the service and wait for the food was a long time. We both ordered burgers, and would say they where basic especially the beef burger, it was that big it was hard to eat making the meat pretty dry and for the price we left unimpressed. The service was sub par but the waitress still mentioned the option to tip but didn't even ask how the meal was. I would say it was overall lacking and the price was too much for what we where served

My Husband and I went for Sunday roast in the evening. We found it a wonderful experience. The food was served very quickly on hot plates and the platter of roasted meats (beef, turkey and pork) and a selection of vegetables were amazing, hot and succulent. We shared a pudding tiramisu which was delicious. We will be back. Thank you

im going to be honest here and just say it as it is, this is the most expensive carvery ever, they put a twist on it with table service but its still a carvery, and there is nothing wrong with that but for the price £22 for a sirloin, you get one piece, not a steak, more a thick bacon rasher slither, £16 for basically one pork chop, for these prices when you leave you should have a good feeling for what you just ate, but its a carvery, unless you are from mars its impossible to do a bad carvery, and the lancaster arms does a decent carvery but the prices are crazy for the meat, i go to a local award winning butcher and i get 4 sirloin steaks for what i paid for a 2mm thick slice, so will i go back, sadly no because the £9 local all you can eat carvery is exactly the same and i dont need a loan to pay for it. also dont forget either that the only unlimited is the veg and roasties, mash and all other sides are £4.50 each and you dont get much for that

Food was cold all aspects of it meat pots and veg. It was served on a cold board potatoes where dry and hard, vegetables where un glazed and gravy tasted like a powdered bisto i ordered a side of cauliflower cheese thinking it would be nice and hot but it was the same cold as the potatoes, we asked a waitress to exchange the roast potatoes for new hot ones which she did willingly and she informed us that they are stored under hot lamps in service so the longer they sit the colder and harder they become. It wouldn't take much for this to be a fantastic roast I would love to see it get better and go again bit as it stands I will be looking for another venue for our Sunday roast sorry..... all the waiting staff where amazing and super helpfull and welcoming couldn't ask for better service, they also apologised many times regarding the cold.food and even offered us a concession, we declined this and still left a tip i Hope the review helps sorry its not more stars 🤷‍♂️

I would not recommend the Sunday board. The potatoes were hard, dry. Possibly through being left in the warmer. The sirloin is basically one thin slice of beef 3mm thick max. The veg was OK. Gravy is tasty but thin. The only thing I genuinely thought was outstanding was the Yorkshire pudding. The crumble was very poor .. it was more like saw dust. Staff were very welcoming, but sadly, I wouldn't recommend this place for food. It's a shame because it is a lovely spot

Disappointed is not the word, took my family here for the first time today for my wife’s birthday, we had the mixed red meat sharing board at 22£ per person. 1 slice of beef each and 2 small pieces of lamb, both were very dry, mixed medley of greens which were ok ish, the roast potatoes were very over done to the point where they were hard to cut, everything was cold including the watery gravy. Ordered a side of cauliflower cheese and again was cold and hard to cut so we left it. We left very dissatisfied and unfortunately will not be returning. A shame really because it was recommended.

Tried here for a Sunday lunch today and what a disappointment it was. I honestly wish we had stayed at home and saved our money as this must be one of the worst Sunday dinners we’ve had. Presentation wise it looked lovely but unfortunately the food itself was very poor. For the price you are paying you expect a good standard but this just wasn’t met. Me and my partner had the lamb/pork option - for £21 each we got 1 slice of lamb, 1 slice of pork, an over cooked cold Yorkshire, a mixed veg melody which was mainly cabbage with a couple of carrots (seemed like something from the freezer) and roast potatoes. If you’re thinking of ordering a side of cauliflower cheese for £4.50 - don’t bother - we couldn’t believe how small the portion was and taste wise it was very underwhelming too. My partner took advantage of the unlimited roasties as he was still hungry and must admit the second lot were much hotter and fresher - probably the best part of the meal. But overall it was a very poor meal out - would not recommended or return.

The prices are extortionate and the food is not edible, absolutely shocking! The chicken in the chicken arrabbiata was the consistency of mush and the pie was full of salt and one piece of meat.

Visited for Sunday lunch, lovely cosy pub with a good atmosphere but the food really lets this place down. We ordered the sunday roast which comes out on a sharing platter type thing. Between 4 of us, we received a small portion of meat each, a small bowl of veg and roasts barely enough to feed 2 children. Although it states on the menu that these are “unlimited”, when we asked for more, we waited over half an hour and never actually received these even after asking a member of staff to chase it up. The young lady we asked in fact laughed and told us the kitchen were slow. For £23 pp, you receive a basic sunday lunch and have to pay £4.50 extra if you want any additional sides which are also a tiny portion. The food actually tasted delicious so it’s a shame that the service and portion size let it down. For over £100 for 4 of us, we definitely will not be returning, you leave with an empty stomach and an empty wallet. Really really disappointing and not worth the extortionate pricing.

Visited on November 12th for an impromptu birthday roast, hadn’t booked so we were glad to get a table at 5.30pm. Things seemed to be going ok, restaurant wasn’t too busy so we could hear ourselves speak, but there was a strange atmosphere/vibe, the staff weren’t relaxed and seemed really on edge. Throughout the visit, we were served by four different members of the team, one being ok, one completely indifferent and two that didn’t seem to know who, or where, they were. The food itself was bang average, not awful, but nothing at all special. The desserts were definitely the high point, but with a very low benchmark to compare against. If you happened to get hit in the head by a gluten free yorkie for some reason, you wouldn’t be getting up for an eight count, granite hard. The low point though was the conflict between two members of staff that started in the bar area and ended up in the kitchen, via the restaurant. Proper Fawlty Towers style, shouting, swearing and other staff awkwardly loitering to catch it all. I don’t want that when I’m in a restaurant trying to relax and celebrate a birthday, it made for a really tense environment. Two drinks and a poor roast came in at around £33, overpriced and underwhelming, with the potential for a toe-to-toe thrown into the mix! Avoid is my advice, unless you like that kind of thing.

It’s been a long time since we have visited the Lancaster Arms, still the same great menu and lovely setting with a raging log fire that welcomed us. Bar has a great range of beers and the usual drinks, the Gin menu is pretty impressive and will struggle to find the range anywhere else. We enjoyed a good meal, service was a little slow and this is the only reason for us to score a 4 star vs a five, some other minor challenges that could have been overcome but the challenges in the restaurant and food industry at the moment need everyone to understand that challenges do arise. If your in the area give them a visit, food is tasty and generous portions, My favourite is the Smocked Salmon and Prawn starter, whilst the serving has changed its still a tasty dish.

A warning for families with young children - Best avoided Extraordinary prices for basic Sunday dinner After checking out reviews booked our first time for Sunday lunch with family and whilst food and ambiance were nice the prices were extortionate. The Sunday platter for 5 was served with little more than the same platter for 2 beside us ( just a couple more slices of meat but at over £100) served on extra small children's plates was way overpriced - effectively only 2 small pieces of meat each 8.50 for kids chicken nuggets 2.00 for small glass of blackcurrant squash and 6.00 for a child's ice cream cone We really felt like we had been robbed and definitely won't be back as service was very slow and way overpriced for a basic Sunday lunch £200 with no starters or desserts !!! The adjoining table complained as well -enough said

We booked in at 5.30PM so it was not very busy with only one other couple eating and two guys drinking outside. The waitress Karen was friendly, efficient and helpful. I had looked at the menu on line which seemed "OK" so was pleased with the large number of specials to chose from when I arrived. the food was excellent as was the beer choice and quality. Prices where acceptable if a bit higher than average but it is a lovely venue not a pub chain. I plan on going to try the Sunday dinner next month. That should be praise enough.

We attended last night for a birthday meal as a party of 13 and sat in the outside terrace area. There was no table service so we had to go to the bar individually every time we wanted a drink. When we wanted to pay for our meal we were told she would bring the card machine out so we could pay individually but she then changed her mind and we all had to go in to the pub to pay at the bar again. So we wasted a lot of time at the bar instead of enjoying our time outside. I ordered pasta and it was very average and quite dry. Supposed to have been linguine but came as tagliatelle. Was definitely not worth the £17 that I paid for it. We didn’t order desserts as they were very overpriced £8 for a fruit salad! We would have ordered coffees but at this point we’re fed up of going to the bar. We complained to the ‘manager’ about the lack of service and that no one checked if our food was ok and she was very rude and didn’t apologise, even after one of our meals had to be sent back because it was so bad. We will not be returning!

Spent over $130 on dinner and drinks watching final of Europa league when the male bartender shuts the game off in last minute of shootout. They didn’t even give me my bill yet. If I knew that I wouldn’t have spent so much money.

Well here’s a surprise for today. I am having to think about what to have for dinner tonight when I should have been full and satisfied from lunch at The Lancaster arms. Sadly, not so, due to it being inedible. The lamb was so bad...

Initial appearance was good. Sunday lunch menu is confusing. Had lamb with Sunday lunch was very chewy and not cooked well at all. Complained to manager who didn’t really seem bothered but offered to replace. By the time replacement was out the meal was over....

Birthday celebration in a Pod...wanted to do something different to celebrate my husbands birthday and this did it. Lovely food, place, service from Rosie and her team. The pods can accomodate up to 8 people, you get a heater which kept us 'toastie' all evening and wonderboom for your own musical entertainment - great idea! The pods have lights inside around the base and door, with overhead garden and perimeter lights to create that perfect ambience at night time. The pods are robust and provide a great level of sound proofing so you won't disturb your dinning neighbours and provide privacy without being hidden away in a room. The garden has lots of undercover seating areas and astro turfed which is perfect for the pods. Rosie and her team were lovely, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Always on hand if you needed anything without interupting or constantly being in/out of the pod. The food was lovely and portion size good. If struggling to finish your meal they will pop leftovers in a container to take home. They even surprised us with a birthday cake and sang 'happy birthday' - thank you! I was sceptical when booking the pod but was not disappointed, we all had a great evening and will definitely be back. Thank you for making the birthday memorable.

Our fourth Sunday lunch visit and so disappointing. We know it’s not a cheap place but we encouraged our family to visit because we’d had such great experiences in the past. Could not have been any more let down from start to finish. Completely ripped off with the food.. paid for 3 executive boards (£150) and they shoved our food all on one board. £30 per person and got one slice of meat each!! One bowl of veg and one bowl of potatoes for 6 people which they say is unlimited but after asking for more veg and potato’s 3 times and still being ignored, we gave up. We ended up with a TINY plate of food each.. crazy to think we could have eaten more at a £12 carvery! On top of this, the food was absolutely stone cold and the service was terrible. The staff were not very attentive at all.. and when we complained, we didn’t feel like it was dealt with the best it could have been. We have recommended to quite a few people since our first visit but safe to say we won’t be returning again and cannot recommend at all. Just another place that was great at first but has let itself go downhill by completely cutting corners to save money and rip people off.

Their domes are not suitable for more than 6 people. The dome we were in one the zippers did not work! I had the pie and it was the worse food I have ever had in a pub! No customer service, they didn't check if the food was okay or if we wanted anything else.
