We held our wedding at the Carnarvon Arms in October 2010 and we couldn’t have asked for better treatment. We stayed three nights before the big event during which time we received very special treatment. Many of our guests stayed as well and had equally as good service. Hayley, the event coordinator, took excellent care of us helping us find various services in town, coordinating transportation for our guests to and from the church, getting flowers for the event, and getting around while there. The food was fabulous all week and especially for our wedding day. If you are looking for an English country wedding, the Carnarvon is an excellent option. The restaurant is well laid out for an event, the food is superb and the service is just right. They were also able to recommend local suppliers for all of the services we needed and simplified the whole planning process. The sleeping rooms are modern, clean and very reasonably priced. We are so pleased with our wedding and couldn’t be happier we chose the Carnarvon Arms.

Just thought you would like a bit of feedback...Clare and I popped in for a quick bit of lunch today on our way back down from Yorkshire. We ordered 4 starters and a couple of drinks and were very pleasantly surprised by the overall price of £23.

The service was fast, engaging and flexible ( given our strange order !). The staff were charming and energetic as well as smartly turned out. It was about 2 when we came through the door and the place was 90% full.

We also observed an Australian, we think, restaurant manageress, who was very focused and leading by example.
Tables on the whole seemed very content with their food and the overall experience. We were by the bar and as people came to pay there were plenty of complements ! We will certainly be going again

I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful stay. I found the whole experience warm, friendly, courteous, professional and above all – comfortable! Nothing seemed to be too much trouble, and the staff went out of their way to ensure that every customer received a personal service. The food was outstanding – as a vegetarian, I am sometimes limited at meal times; but the goats cheese filo tart was out of this world! The accommodation was both stylish and comfortable and allowed me the convenience to work anywhere within the beautiful and relaxing surroundings.

I would strongly recommend anyone visiting the area visit this hidden gem – if just to experience the culinary delights.

My stay was truly an understated 10/10; thank you for making it so enjoyable.

Went for meal at Carnarvon Arms for my birthday with folks from work. The pub is possessed of a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. It is definitely a restaurant, rather than a "locals pub". I cannot fault the food, nor the service in any way. My friends and I had an enjoyable evening. Recommended!

Thank you for our Party last night, it was fabulous! The booking process, menu changes and my last minute panic on the night - all calmly and competently handled by Hannah. The food was super - presentation, taste and quantity all spot on! The setting was beautiful and the room was stunning - the space, light, decoration were very impressive. All this, together with your welcoming, friendly and efficient staff gave us a party to remember. Thank you. We thank you so much that we have already put in a reserved date for Christmas 2010!

Thank you so much for all you did towards making Saturday night such a success. Please will you give everyone involved a huge thank you for the truly memorable night. The service was outstanding.
Nick was simply brilliant and so enthusiastic. Justin was superb - the food was the best ever, what a star he is. In fact, all the staff were so helpful, Josh was so well organised behind the bar, everyone was so switched on and attentive, the waiters and waitresses were delightful - nothing was too much trouble. It's so wonderful when everything comes together to make a memorable evening. Everyone who was there has been thanking me and saying it was one the best nights we have ever held. The disco was great and it was so good of him to set up in the Spencer room. Please can you pass my most grateful thanks to your General Manager, he should be justifiably proud to have such a great bunch of staff. I cannot thank you all enough. Hope to see you again soon - and well done.
