Only second time we have called in since the new tenants/managers have taken over. Vast improvement.

Not only the worst Sunday dinner but the worst meal I've ever been served. Yorkshire pudding soggy and swimming in grease and under cooked. Some veg was just mush,the cauliflower was literally raw same as the carrots. The meat was stone cold and the condiments were out of date. Literally the worst food I've ever encountered. We had 3 adult and 3 kids Sunday dinners and over 90% of them was left. The chef said they've had nothing but good reviews 🤷 and today's dinner state was because she was on her own. Could understand if they were busy but there was only us in the entire pub for food 🤦 wouldn't eat here ever again.

Visited The Upton Arms for Sunday lunch and was warmly greeted by the landlady and the staff. Food was top notch, piping hot and delicious. Staff was welcoming and punctual and did everything they could to ensure we had the best experience. Also tried the chocolate sponge with custard which was an excellent ending to a fantastic dinner. All in all a great meal and brilliant service. Would highly recommend and without a doubt a place I will be revisiting in the near future!

Fair selection of drinks.Floor clean, tables clean, language clean. Parking outside. Tables outside frontage/beer garden at side as well. Nice old building. Recommended.

Only downside got tablespoons/dessert spoon for a sundae - in a sundae glass, making it difficult to access the bottom of dessert. Otherwise great

Sadly I was very disappointed. This was a pre booked meal we had to choose our order in advance and I was pleased to see a vegan option on the menu. When we arrived we had also pre warned them that one member of the group was ill and could not attend. When they brought out the starters they had one for our friend and the response was “we cancelled the main but not the starter”. When my vegan meal arrived it had a Yorkshire pudding on it. I queried this and was told it was vegan. I said are you sure and he went to check and cake back and said everything was vegan except the Yorkshire pudding!!! The meal was also fully plated which I think was a shame and the veg could have been served in dishes, was a shame as small local pub and the fact they were offering a vegan option was great ( the vegan chocolate cake was lovely).

Comfortable seating area just a little away from the bar, we were served quickly generous helpings of hot wholesome food, liver and onions, braised steak and hunters chicken at reasonable price. Unfortunately got a little loud with patrons gathering for a night out but otherwise a very pleasant experience .

This is a village pub of long standing and your introduction is a very large bar area with lots of seating, wall mounted TV and a pool table. There is a breakfast / dining room but most eat in the bar. The food is very reasonably priced good pub grub. We soent the night in the 'New York' suite which was actually very nice, well decorated and had a massive double bed which was comfortable. There is plenty of parking space which is well lit and covered by CCTV. The hosts are clearly proud of their achievements and with good reason. Our room was £60 per night which, I thought was value for money so well done. One slight negative, only one flimsy loo roll.All the same, I would use this place again.

Came here for a friends 18th birthday - nice little atmosphere, few talkative regulars, bar staff were good, prices not too bad. A shed load of parking which was good for those of us unfortunate enough to be an ‘allocated driver’ :( Would definitely come back for a pint or two alongside some pool.

Thank you for a lovely stay at the Upton Arms. We had such a comfortable night's sleep I wanted to steal the mattress! The rooms was cosy and very clean, with tv, hot shower and tea/coffee making facilities. When we arrived late Friday night we were cheerily greeted by the bar man, the landlord Phil and a jovial huddle of locals. Phil is really keen to make this a real ale hub offering something above what is on offer in the rest of the village, with four ales to choose from it had to be the guest Castle Rock's Elsie Mo for me. It was such a well kept an delicious pint before I knew it I'd drank four and we were chatting into the early hours. This is a modern estate pub with a difference, Phil and his wife are bring back the true essence of the pub, great value home cooked food, ales, family atmosphere and events. We will be returning with our camper van in the summer! Thank you.

I chose this place for all my family to come to after my mums funeral as its a local to where my mum went to yrs ago, so I thought it would be nice to all gather there, the pub itself is lovely and modern very clean and spacious so I've nothing bad to say about that, I approached the owners by a phone call to see if it was ok to have a bit of food on n I can say they were very helpful and also they allowed me to fetch my own cakes too which I thought was nice, the lady who was serving drinks was very friendly and nice, I just thought the man was miserable who worked there, he wasn't at all friendly and to me he sempt to be put out with the tidying up and more work he had to do, I don't normally write reviews but I feel like I had to on this note, so my advice to the man would be "smile a bit more" it's not that hard.

I was disappointed on arriving. The car park and entrance was full of litter and advertising boards were propped up back to front in corners. The inside off the pub was ok. A bit tired looking but I didn't mind that. What I did mind was the speed off service. The starters took 18 minutes to arrive and the mains 20 more. When the garlic bread arrived it was toasted only on one side. The soup was delicious despite trading like a can of a well known brand which I didn't mind. The main course however had chips that were cold and limp and just like some from a bad chip shop and the tomato was shrivelled. To be fair the rest was nice and the desserts were delicious. The one thing that really infuriated me was when asking for a bar/meal tab. When I have done this at other venues they scan it and return it. Here I was told my card would have to be kept behind the till. Now I am not saying I don't trust anyone but it was just the principle of the thing. It is a well known fact that if you eat out you should keep your payment card in sight and so if other venues can do it why can this one not?

My wife and I called in to the Arms along with our 2 grandcildren on Sunday 20 March. We all had the carvery and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Several meats to choose from along with a very good variety of vegetables. We were completely full, but the kids had room for a sweet. Again a good variety of sweets on offer. A really enjoyable meal at a very fair price. On Wednesday my wife and I visited again. We had the retired persons 'Special Deal' which was a carvery and a sweet all for £6.00 each. Again the food was very good. The owners have been in for approximately 12 months and along with the staff they are very friendly people.

Family of 11 visited for pub lunch on xmas eve. Didn't expect much to be honest - but had a really great experience. Chicken and leek pie, steak and ale pie, scampi, chicken nuggets for the kids were all very tasty and good quality. Everything (including the fresh cut chips) was clearly home made by someone who cared - and not the deep fried frozen version of pub grub we were probably expecting. £6.50 per main (£3.50 for kids) represented great value. Nice beer too. The pub itself is well presented and they had one huge table which worked perfectly for our group.
