Definitely good cooking happens here. Always something on the very varied menu that will tickle your fancy… presentation good too both on the plate and in the restaurant. Always a welcome relief after buying garden sundries!

Visited Arthur’s last Wednesday and enjoyed a lovely meal, and the best coffee I have had in a long time served to me by a lovely young assistant called Charlotte who we think has not worked there for long. A real credit to Arthur’s.
