    From the moment we arrived at the Northbrook Arms, we were made to feel completely at home. The setting is stunning – a perfect blend of countryside charm and stylish comfort. The pub itself is beautifully decorated, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes it ideal for everything from a quiet drink to a special meal. The food was absolutely delicious – beautifully presented, full of flavour, and clearly made with care and quality ingredients. The drinks menu was also excellent, with a great selection of local ales, fine wines, and cocktails. What really sets the Northbrook Arms apart, though, is the service. Every member of the team was friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Nothing was too much trouble, and they really went the extra mile to make our visit special. We’ll definitely be back – a real 5-star experience from start to finish. Thank you, Northbrook Arms! xx

    Easy to book via Open Table including a time amendment. Took my daughter for dinner on a Saturday evening. We were greeted by a bar man on entering and were immediately seen to a very nice table for 4 even though there were two of us giving us plenty of room. Service was prompt and informative. We ordered the warm Sourdough to start which was fresh and nicely warm. My daughter had the Chicken Schnitzel and loved it. I had the Lamb Pave with Moroccan couscous and roasted veg, which was delicious. To finish we indulged in the warm chocolate fondant cake with melted chocolate inside, ice cream and white chocolate sauce. All in all a fabulous experience.
