Had lunch with family and stayed for few drinks afterwards. Really nice place and very friendly staff who made us feel relaxed and at home. Food was on point too. Try the pie of the day, you won’t be disappointed. Polished off with a nice slice of cheesecake. Big shout out to Dave who made the visit so much better.

We had a lovely lunch at The Carnarvon Arms. They were great with the kids in our party and special diets. In fact they’re always really friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely be back.

Lovely place to eat and have a quiet drink, The roast lamb was lovely and the Yorkshire pudding was huge, light and fluffy. Just right amount of food. Good service by staff.
