    We normally enjoy our experience here but last Sunday (8th March) I think the chef had a day off. Food was cold or burnt and the table next to us made such a complaint saying that they wish they had gone to McDonlads. We sent back our deserts (crumble with custard) as the were stone cold and I sent back a glass of bubbles as it was flat. Come on guys, what is happening?

    Very good experience, even though it was New Years Eve it was not too noisy and could hold a conversation.

    The Whittington Arms is a big place and it was nice to feel uncrowded at the table. The initial welcome was friendly and that seems to be the vibe of the pub. The young waiting staff were well trained and attentive. The menu covers most food requirements and my family were all able to find options to please. The dishes themselves were cooked with care and presented well. We were all pleased with the meal and for having chosen this pub.

    The Whittington Arms has easy access and great parking. The staff are professional and knowledgeable of the menu which is always a bonus when visiting for the first time! The food is very good, and a wide menu to suit all palettes. Will be back for definite when in the area again. Thank you Whittington Arm!

    It was our Anniversary and I wanted something special so we went here having not been for a while as the last time we went wasn't the best but we thought we would try again. The starter was good but when the main came out my wife's fishcakes were just warm and consisted of mainly mashed potato on a pea volute which was very grainy with no taste she also had a side salad that was served in a tiny bowl and it consisted of rocket leaves a couple of slithers of cucumber the tops of spring onion and two tiny slices of tomato which was £3.50. at the end of the meal my wife had left half of it and we complained and it was removed from the bill but that is the second time we have not had a good experience there and wont be going back
