Been to this pub lots of times and the food has always been wonderful, (but as of 2025 I became vegetarian). On a Sunday six months ago they offered a Sunday lunch without the meat and stuffing, with a portion of vegetarian gravy instead, (which was discounted too) but was not on the menu? The cauliflower cheese could be shared with my friend and it felt like we were both having a good, plentiful Sunday lunch.
Today however they couldn't run up a small jug of vegetarian gravy and I cant eat a Sunday lunch with no gravy at all. So the only other option was a vegy soup starter ( but it was a hot day), or aubergine pasta, which is not very Sunday lunch like. So I thought maybe a salad and chips. They brought two small side bowls of food and no larger plate to put them on. Also if my husband hadn't given me half of his cauliflower cheese I would still be hungry.
I'm very disappointed, as the Caesar salads were being served in large bowls, but there was no vegy salad main meal option. In this day and age there are so many vegetarians / vegans. Please start offering some decent choices and if you actually listed the vegy Sunday lunch on the menu, more people would chose it and chose to go to the pub in the first place if they knew it was available, (as family groups would look elsewhere for a vegy Sunday lunch if they think you don't do one).
If we are trying to respect the animals, then please respect us too and treat everyone the same by offering some decent choices. It's not nice feeling like you are being awkward when ordering. Everything should be on the menu and accessible. It really isn't hard to have a jug of vegy gravy available (I would have had Bisto granules if need be)?
The staff and service were excellent once again. Thank you.

Just called in for early tea and was very pleased with our meal. The price reflects the restaurant quality of food served, which was delicious and a Yorkshire portion. We ate outside and the service was both friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend.

The bar staff really need to be told how to pull a decent pint. Every pint was flat ( moretti) either that or the glasses need changing. Other than that amazing place in a great setting

Excellent food and excellent service. I am vegetarian and they adapted a Sunday roast to my requirements. The staff were very attentive and always courteous. We will be back very soon.

Loved our overnight stay here. Olde Worlde pub with fabulous bedrooms which were very modern. Food is very good, large portions, piping hot! Can recommend the full English
breakfast. Would highly recommend a stay here so peaceful and a lovely setting. Staff are welcoming and very helpful.

Fantastic Sunday dinner. Certainly lived up to its name that there would be plenty, and it was of a high standard too. We called in the following Thursday too - during our week up in North Yorkshire - and had a lovely meal out in the garden.
The pub is dog friendly - you can eat in their conservatory area (as we did on the Sunday with our Labradoodle) or in the outside area.
Decent selection of cask beers, in good condition. Always a pleasure.
Staff were very welcoming and attentive on both occasions.
The toilets even smelt amazing! Some fruity aroma, maybe raspberries.
Highly recommended.

Disappointed with our visit to the Sawley arms.
Whist the food is good, the service we received was unfortunately far below standard. Perhaps they were busy but the feeling we got was that they didn't really care.
Don't think I'll return which is a shame because the burger was actually quite good.

Very nice food, but the decor is a bit odd, especially the purple LEDs in the old English style pub section
