The seafood linguine was delicious though it could have been a little hotter. The lunch time menu was great for my friends, they said. Staff were friendly and helpful however we were left with a number of cups, saucers and teapots on the table for a while. Would still recommend the restaurant for the food, ambience and friendly staff. Will definitely be back.

Family Sunday lunch. Everything was very good indeed which is the standard at the Raby Arms and why we regularly visit.

It’s a lovely pub with a mediocre approach. Service was good with some staff and poor with others. No staff were on the ball and looking when you needed attention. Responded when when promoted. Gave up waiting to order dessert. Good of a reasonable standard.
