Food is nice quality, shame the staff are not up to standard. Tables lacking cutlery needed to get my own. Bar staff need to take note which customer is next, If you want service and you are on your own, you will be avoided for a bigger party. Glasses were not removed from tables even when they had been left quite a while.

Straight at the Door for 9am. First in and the breakfast is waiting, mouth-wateringly and massively portioned British Classic Breakfast all with a Brew and Orange juice at the bar to wash it down, chased by four slices of toast, these guys know service and warm welcome. Love it.

I'm sorry to give such a low rating however after 2 recent visits (first was not good but assumed this was due to Christmas) both haven't gone well they really need to do some improvement. But would like to be honest b caus if you don't know you can't improve.
so not to be totally negative the food was good when we got it however the service is not great they seem to have lots of staff but they are not really helping solve the issues they seem to be either in the wrong place or just disappear when asked for something.
our last visit was chaotic to say the least one person behind the carvery which would be fine if able to just keep serving instead had to keep topping up veg and potatoes when running low going in and out of the kitchen there is as no help despite staff popping behind looking putting hands on hips and disappearing again 🫣 this meant the que was ridiculous staff just seem d to laugh and mentioned it's always like that which means they still haven't got it right.
Because the ques were so big this meant wherever you sat there we're just people queued up all complaining about the que kids crying and getting in patient and parents well trying to stay calm under the chaos this also meant there were people everywhere in your space meaning the atmosphere was effected and you couldn't really relax. To add to this there was no cutlery to eat your food with and staff disappearing when asking for help it was just crazy. I followed a staff member to the kitchen to get some forks only to stand there 3/4 mins and instead she was behind the bar!!!!! When asked again did you find any they disappeared and again I was left waiting.
Staff behind the bar again seems disorganized no one helping each other so it takes forever to get served.
So a small number of our party who didn't want carvery ordered burgers only to find they had forgotten some of them so it took over 2 hours for us all to eat and that was all at different stages.
all in all not sure what happened recently but won't be returning until they have improved on their service and trained their staff in customer service they really need to improve before staff go on burn out for running round not being productive and customers start complaining and stop coming.
I can only imagine the chaos we saw at the front of the service was that bad the back of house and kitchen must be an absolute nightmare sorry Farmers Arms but completely disappointed ☹️

Great food, the squeezed a big party of 23 into a tiny space though! And the bar service was really slow. Staff are friendly and the carvery was delicious.

Me & my 10 y/o daughter visited here for lunch yesterday, she had carvery which looked very nice, I had a 'dirty nacho cheese burger', which I enjoyed overall but the 2 beef patties weren't the best, taste wise, & were thin, had they been of better quality this burger wouldve been totally awesome, however, it was ½ price burger Monday so given the price I was still happy! The place is exceptionally clean and well presented and I will definitely visit again.
I really want to mention Gemma, the lovely red-haired team member, who was very helpful, friendly, and quick to serve on both occasions.
She was so lovely and an asset to your team at the Farmer's. See you again soon!

The menu doesn't give everything. I got the Cheese and Bancon burger and it had unions and lettuce when it DID NOT have that on the menu and the ice cream wasn't even a scoop. I love the pizza though.

We had the bottomless pizza and Prosecco here for Valentine’s Day. The staff were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The pizzas were delicious and very fresh. We would highly recommend.

We chose from the menu rather than have the carvery and it was standard pub grub but the service from Alex made up for the mediocre food and gave us an enjoyable experience. Alex was courteous, patient and communicative which enhanced our visit.

Went for breakfast. Food fresh and hot. Katie who served us was great. There was no sausages out when we got there and she popped over to let us know they was out. Really lovely person saw her chatting with a few tables. It was busy but nice and chilled. Definitely be going back.
