    The meals were delicious. I ordered the mixed grill and my wife had the gammon steak. Both were cooked to perfection. We didn’t leave a thing. We then followed with the cherry sundae and it didn’t disappoint, it was absolutely delicious. Well recommended.

    The baked Camembert was exceptional. We are all of us loved that and it was large enough for 3. The pie was absolutely brilliant, the pastry I think is a watercrust pastry, I’m not sure but it was absolutely brilliant. Not the usual frozen puff pastry used in a lot of places. The meat inside it was very tender. Pulled lamb shepherds pie and sausage with mash, both excellent. The brownie was also fab. All food was excellent. Beer selection and wine selection was great. Has an amazing out door venue area too. Best pub food for a long time. We were visiting the area and will come back to eat here definitely.

    Excellent service, staff very pleasant and eager to please. Lovely ambiance and plenty of space provided for one of our friends with mobility needs. Food excellent and competative prices. 2 of us have smaller appetites so we really appreciated the Smaller plate options. We have dined here in the past and will definitely be back.

    It was our first time at the Birley Arms anfter recently moving to the anrea and we enjoyed the experience. The choice on the menu was very good, with vegetarian options too. The staff were very attentive and the quality of food was excellent and reasonably priced. We will definitely visit again in the near future. Thank you to all the staff. Ian & Nina.

    Over priced, small portion that wasn’t very tasty. The sausage in the mixed grill was inedible it was so hard. I won’t be returning. Best bit of the meal was the onion rings.

    Was very noisy as there was 2 groups in so made it hard to talk to one another, asked for restaurant on booking and was put in the conservatory ,. Slow service waited 45mins at least . Found desserts pricey and dissapointing. Main meal was great. Would go again but maybe not in the evening. Wasn't a relaxing evening maybe just unlucky with the groups they had in.

    Lovely place but need to up their game with the quality of food & wine if they are to compete with other pubs in the area, for example The Ship.
