We?ve always had great meals here and today was no different.
Starters of scotch egg (amazing) and halloumi set the bar high, but the mains stole the show ? especially the 200g Wagyu sirloin. Perfectly cooked, melt-in-the-mouth, and bursting with flavour? easily one of the best steaks I?ve had in a long time. The sirloin and burgers were also excellent.
Only small niggles: the rosemary and parmesan chips had no rosemary hit, and the broccoli was far too salty (and I love salt!). We mentioned it to our brilliant server, Becca, who offered to replace it, but we were already too far in.
Desserts of sticky toffee pudding and raspberry ripple? Absolutely nailed it. Can?t wait for the next visit.

I wish I had read the reviews prior to booking the Carrington Arms since the common themes are accurate. Top dollar prices with food that doesn?t match up. It?s really just pub grub, extra small protein portions (fish portions especially) and steaks that are pitched as premium cuts which looked like supermarket cuts, and come over cooked. My filet was more sirloin and overall disappointing.
Plates delivered red hot, clearly being left under a heat lamp for an extended period resulting in over cooked meat and fish.
Location was lovely with lots of character. Can?t rate the hotel as didn?t stay, but it did look nice from the outside.

I?ve tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt because the prices are high but their food is tasty and especially the chicken and burgers are amazing. We frequently order a takeaway. However today I paid £4.50 for a Caesar salad I?ve had lots of times before, today it had merely pieces of wilted salad. Deliveroo of course did nothing have also been missing a complete burger before which the driver clearly ate so think this is the final straw. Thinking you can charge £4.50 for that is simply taking the mick

Spotlessly clean room and lovely staff. The service in the restaurant was great, However, I was overcharged £60 due to an apparent error in their system. I only noticed this after I'd checked my bank statement. Reimbursement was quick but I'd advise others to always check their bank statements if their card details have been submitted on line.

Really good place for food generally. This was a breakfast visit and it doesn't disappoint. Lovely garden room.

Disappointing service and food quality. For the prices charged I would expect better.

Stupendous steak, perfectly chargrilled to taste all hand cut from the counter. It has been nearly 20 years since our last visit and the steak remains one of the best I?ve had. The sirloin marinated in treacle and bourbon is rightly their signature cut. Well worth the hour drive!

Excellent service and drinks. Food was delicious and the steak as good as people say it is.

Having visited the Carrington Arms several times this year I had no hesitation in going for Father's day as a treat from my son. We have both had stomach upsets since and whilst I realise I cannot be 100% sure that this was a result of eating there, the only food we had in common that day was the Risotto with chicken. I had previously recommended this restaurant to several friends however I will update them with my revised opinion.

I can't have steak anywhere else as it just doesn't compare to the Carrington.
Staff are great and the chef Sergio is amazing.
