The Bathurst Arms

My husband and I stayed at the Bathurst Arms for 3 nights. The room was small, but very comfortable. You just need to mind your head if you are over 6 feet tall! The staff were friendly and professional. The breakfasts, dinner and snacks in the bar were delicious. We did a couple of nice, short hikes in the surrounding countryside and there is a lovely old church opposite the Arms. It was fun mingling in the pub every evening with the regulars. Thanks for a great stay!

Sudden decision to take a trip out and came upon the Bathurst Arms. Shown to a table straightaway, ordered drinks (draughty beer - excellent) and off lunchtime menu. Excellent value and food cooked to exceptional standard. Really friendly staff, polite and courteous. Thoroughly recommend.

Very clean throughout very friendly staff,an enjoyable stay.

Staff and locals very friendly, made us feel very welcome. Food outstanding, especially the Mushroom pie and Fruit Crumble, Sticky Toffee pudding, Baby Guiness Brownie, Breakfast plenty to choose from, Room comfortable and clean. Lovely peaceful place to have a break. Thank you very much for my Chocolate Bar, very nice touch for my Birthday, we stayed here 6 years ago and we stayed in the same room. I would like to recommend this place, and will definitely return. The new owners are very lovely. friendly, and hospitable. Thank you very much Bathurst Arms 10/10.

So this was the walk today which was excellent set by Stickman and guided by Kitkat. Now the roast dinner review you have all been waiting for. I booked a table for 2 at 7am Saturday 3rd for 1.30pm Sunday 4th at the Bathurst Arms. Confirmed the booking via a text. We arrived back at the pub 12.45 on the Sunday excellent service cross the bar for a couple of pints of St. Miguel. Checked that the lunch was still good for the 1.30 pm booking, all good so far. Ordered another pint of St Miguel at 1.15 pm and ordered the Roast Beef and Pork belly for 1.30pm paid for the beer and both meals, asked to include the service charge of 10% which I paid. Total £50.99 (£4.64 service charge) Shown to table at 1.35 pm no one approached the table to ask about our order, so spoke to the waitress at 14.00 to enquire about our order and remarked the service was not up to scratch. She returned saying our food would be ready in 5 minutes. The gentleman who was serving behind the bar came to the table with £4.64 in cash, no apology. The meals turned up about 5 minutes later the Yorkshire pudding was with the pork not the beef? Asked if we would like sauces asked for apple and horseradish sauce which turned up 5 minutes later. My food was very tasty and all cooked just right, Sue’s food was also eaten but she wasn’t very happy with the pork. There were 2 pepper pots on the table so we swapped one for a salt from the table next to us, there wasn’t any salt in it. To round things up good service across the bar, tasty food, terrible table service and lack of attention to detail. Would I eat there again?…..you decide I probably will never go to that pub again.

The shepherd's pie was quite pricey at £ 20.00 each quite tasty but not much veg, watch you don't get stung by the service charge they add on at the till but don't even tell you about ! It's too late when you look at the receipt back home 40 miles away !
