Unfortunately we seem a minority according to these reviews but I had to leave an honest one. We just went for Sunday lunch as a group of 4, 2 had soup for starters, completely over seasoned and just tasted of salt. Another had pate served with a blob of coleslaw which seemed very strange, a chutney would have been more in place ?????. Main dinners were ordered, 2 Roast Beef, 1 Gammon and 1 vegetarian Tart. Apparently the vegetarian tart was quite nice, sadly this is where the positives end. The beef which is supposed to be ?medium rare? was definitely well done! I wish I taken a picture and was very tough! Vegetables had little or no seasoning in our option and the Yorkshire pudding resembled a pancake, the three carrot coins per plate were ok-ish! Roast potatoes tasted ?chewy? and not fresh. The cauliflower had something on it but I couldn?t tell you what, I don?t think it was cauliflower cheese but all 4 of us could be wrong. The plates were cold meaning food was cold pretty quickly. We paid the bill and left, there is a man walking around who says little to nothing to customers who could at a guess be the manager, again could be wrong but his body language didn?t seem approachable, he had already been short with one of the serving girls on our way in as to where other diners could wait. All in all very disappointing lunch and sadly won?t be returning.

Lovely food. Very attentive staff. Two steaks and a bottle of wine deal was excellent value and wonderfully cooked. We stayed here in a motorhome over night and were made to feel very welcome . Will definitely come again.

Really enjoyed lunch here today with friends - the beef casserole was superb, tender beef really well cooked & tasty. Salad with paté starter was crisp & fresh, the coleslaw could well have been home made too. Apple crumble/custard dessert was really top class. The place was really busy with a large group but service was still good & friendly. Would happily go again if we lived closer!!

My friends and I were looking for somewhere to go and enjoy a meal but also have time to sit and chat without time restrictions. We certainly were not disappointed with this beautiful little pub. Literally on our doorstep and what a gem!! The decor was lovely, the ambience of the pub was excellent. The service was superb!! Oh and the food, what can I say but WOW!! Sadly I didn't take any photos due to the food looking so good I just wanted to tuck in. I most certainly will be going here again. Only tiny downside was that it was a little pricey and more than I would normally pay for a meal in the week with friends, but it was really good. Well done to all of the staff, 10/10

We visited on a Thursday evening as a group of four. We were welcomed warmly to the inn, ordered our drinks from the well stocked bar and were shown to our table overlooking the garden. The menu choices were pretty good, with something for everyone. We ordered the sea bass, the chicken and chips, the Overstone burger and a rack of ribs. The food wasn?t long in coming, but long enough for us to chat and catch up. We were served some Melba toasts whilst waiting for our main courses. The food was excellent. The rack of ribs looked beautiful, the burger was really good and the other two dishes were equally as good according to their consumers! Having dispensed with the mains, three of us had desserts, all of which were scrumptious! All in all, we had a really pleasant evening at the Overstone Arms, made even more pleasant by the friendly and really efficient staff who served us. All four of us would recommend this establishment without reserve.

We stopped over in our campervan and had a great meal and the staff were all very good, nice and friendly. We will return. Excellent food also with special offers like free dessert etc, so it is good value.

The outside area is fabulous but unfortunately the food is very poor. Enquired as to whether local produce was used and received a vague answer rather than a definitive one. The food was totally uninspiring.

We hired the Secret Garden event space for a 60th party and could not have got a better place. The space is fantastic with outside bar and plenty of seating and general space. The food was amazing and staff were more than helpfully with everything. The weather wasn't the best but the staff made sure we had plenty of cover and parasols. There was enough space for our band for the evening plus dancing area. Can only praise the Overstone Arms and staff for helping to create an amazing day & evening.

We were so lucky to have this welcoming pub with its beautiful gardens for our wedding vow renewal celebration party. We can?t thank Phil, John and their brilliant, friendly team for giving us, our family and friends the best time ever. Nothing too much trouble, really relaxed atmosphere, food bang on, very special place to be. All perfect. Thank you ?

This Is a lovely country pub In a pretty village, and was our first ever visit here. The secret garden and the views are extremely nice, a lovely setting for a summers evening drink. Sadly our food was very disappointing. My Rainbow Lasange was extremely poor. Never have I had a lasagne without bechamel sauce, no flavour whats so ever and pasta was dry and over cooked. Looked like It was made In a rush and very last minute. Basic to say the very least. Shame as Its put us off returning

We're local but hadn't been to the Overstone Arms for ages. We had guests from the USA staying with us and were pleasantly surprised to find that not only was a local country pub open on a Monday but they were also doing food. The pub has a new owner and the whole place has been revamped to a good standard. The 'Secret Garden' is spacious but cozy, close to the bar, won't be a secret for long & neither will the Monday special price menu. This is an observation, not a criticism but the bar area is a little snug and having three occupied barstools adds congestion when trying to get drinks even when it's moderately busy. There were four of us who all had different things from the menu & there was plenty on each plate, tasty & hot. The restaurant staff were attentive but not fussy & everything including the dessert were timely served. The cost four four adults, of which only one had something from the Monday special menu but including some drinks was reasonable. We will be going back on a more regular basis and our American guests well certainly insist we do when they visit us next.

Fantastic place to eat,the Monday club is simply amazing,we have been twice now and have booked again for next week ,the food was outstanding and unbelievable value,its a disappearing menu but both times we have had steak ,this week we had fillet and rump with all the trimmings for only £8.00 each,amazing,they were both full plates ,we havent tried the starters or desserts because we were full,The bar staff are lovely and the chef/owner is a really nice normal guy.You would have to go miles to beat this place.
