    My grilled rainbow trout was fresh and cooked perfectly. It was served with delicious oven roasted potatoes with a herbed tomato sauce, and a mixed greens salad. The apple and blueberry cobbler with local ice cream finished the meal off nicely.

    Booked here as advertised as all through Sunday lunch until 8pm. Was intending to have standard choice roast, but were tempted with multi pork & trimmings platter. Was terrific but think portions could be reduced & charge slightly less.

    We were attended to my a lovely young chap who was efficient and friendly. My nutroast lunch was the best I had ever had. A great selection of vegetables too. Fellow guests tell me their Sunday roasts were excellent. For me, good service makes the occasional and the service was excellent. Well done on securing such a great member of staff.

    We ate al fresco and the service and food were great. We were well looked after despite being the only diners outside. And our two starters more than equalled a main course. We’ll be back. But maybe inside by the roaring fire as the cold nights draw in.

    We've been to the Anglers Arms a few times now and really enjoyed it. Always thought it was really good pub grub at a reasonable price, with excellent service. However, it does seem to have slipped a bit. The service was slow and we had to remind the waiting staff a couple of times about what we'd asked for. When it came, the veg that came with the meal itself was undercooked, the mash super peppery, and the side dish of veg was boiled/heated to death. The lamb I had was very fatty and stringy in places, and hard as bone in other areas. The chicken goujon kids meal was pretty sparce and unappealing too. That said, they were enormous portions, so we found enough to eat. We had two adult roast dinners, two kids meals, two adult desserts and a kids icecream, two soft drinks and three pints of beer, totalling £100. Which I thought was very expensive compared to some of the other pubs we have eaten at nearby. For example, you can eat much nicer food, with better service at the Northumberland Arms in Felton for the same price. I'm hoping we just caught them on a bad day, food and service wise, but I do think they need to look at their pricing. They are simply not competitive at the moment.

    Lovely setting. Ate outside by choice but sheltered and was very comfortable. Great menu well thought through and everyone very happy with both mains and desserts. Children catered for with children's menu, colouring in and a fabulous outdoor play area. Will certainly be back. Absolutely nothing not to like.

    The food was very poor, particularly as we’d travelled some distance to eat here. One of our main courses, Rump steak and Prawns, the steak was inedible, the 2 prawns were ok, they cost £4 per prawn. Although the manager didn’t charge for the steak, they still charged £8 for the 2 prawns. The staff were good but the food was a disgrace. The decor was the same as 40 years ago when it was a top class restaurant. It was an absolute disgrace, £125 for 4 people.

    Lovely meal after a long day of dog training. We arrived looking like you would expect after a day outside in rainy, windy conditions, and were made just as welcome as guests turning up dressed for the occasion. Very busy Saturday evening - table reservation recommended if you want a popular time slot on a Friday or Saturday.

    Fabulous as always. Children eat free offer was a bonus!! The service was good- efficient and friendly. We usually go on Sunday and have roast dinner which is always really good. It was nice to try the weekday menu which had plenty of variety with a selection of specials. It was easy to read and not overwhelming! Loved the pan fried chicken, the burger was very much enjoyed, excellent pie and the children’s goujons were home made👍🏻. Very happy - we’ll be back very soon.

    The staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Food was very good. Would have liked more vegetarian options and did not have many options without onion. However they were as accommodating as the menu allowed. On the expensive side but worth it for a special occasion as food was beautifully cooked.

    We have been coming to the Anglers for over 20 years and can honestly say that we have never had a bad meal. The food is always very tasty and the menu changes regularly with interesting variations and combinations of ingredients. So nice to get something a bit different to the usual pub fare. The beer is good too, with local real ales on offer. We would most certainly recommend a visit.

    X4 roast beef dinners ordered and all 4 slices of beef were dry, fatty and overcooked. Shame as the chicken dinner was delicious and the fish n chips were too. Disappointing experience after travelling over an hour to get there.
