Spent a delightful hour here on our way out west. The Grove Arms is roomy, bright and spotless. We enjoyed our bar snack of filled baguette with side salad. The new owners Gary and Daf introduced themselves and were very friendly and we had a good chat with Chef Nigel. No longer has bar billiards - but who knows for the future ?

We stayed her for a wedding near by and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room was comfy and of a good size. The highlight was a lovely homemade cooked breakfast the following morning. Made to feel very welcome and there is plenty of parking behind the building.

We went to the pub for a lunchtime meal while we were property hunting. We were made very welcome and although it was just before lunchtime the food was cooked and on the table in a very short time and before the listed start of lunchtime. We were made very welcome and had a good chat about why we were in the area and found out what was nearby and worth visiting and where to shop. Even if we do not proceed with the purchase, we will visit again . The food was fresh and hot and really tasty. My Husband had scampi and the best chips that we have had for a long time and I had sausage and lovely buttery mash and gravy. Delicious. Thank you for the great welcome and conversations.

Been there a year or so ago and decided to go back, it’s under new management. Food was lovely and staff very friendly. Food came in responsible time and was well presented. Menu was limited but chef has only been there a week so understandable.

Just dropped in to the Grove Arms whilst on a long walk. Welcomed in despite muddy boots. Ordered the cottage pie - it was one of the best I have had; home cooked with a selection of seasonal vegetables -fab. Apparently, the cook/chef is new, if everything on the menu is as good as the cottage pie then you won't be disappointed. I will be back

We visited for Sunday lunch. The beef was excellent! Perfectly cooked and presented. Homemade Yorkshire puddings are to die for! Our children were made very welcome. After lunch a folk group played some really good foot tapping tunes....Great experience all round. We will definitely be back next month.

Dropped in for a drink at around 7pm. Sat and had this and we were told at 7:30 that the pub was closing! This is a new manager and we had hopes after the previous had just about run the place into the ground. We have now vowed never to go in again as, having driven by a few times, it still seems to have the same lack of opening hours.

Just weird experience, no choice for snacks for lunch , just main meals , not a very welcoming pub by owners/staff. Not sure if we hit a bad day for them , or whether this was usual guest experience . Whichever it was it put us off a return visit
