This truly is an excellent pub. Our room was set up perfectly with great attention to detail. Our dinner was delicious. Fantastic garden. The only improvement that could be made is having baked beans with the breakfast, but all in all a marvellous pub for dining, drinking, and staying in.

had to get up and get drinks myself because of slow service. Not ideal when you're paying a service charge. Seemed understaffed and disorganized. Food was just okay, but the service really let us down.

We love dining at the Methuen Arms. The staff are charming and welcoming and do everything to make sure our meal is as good as it can be. Our waitress Kate was charming and super diligent about making sure that my wife?s meal didn?t contain anything that wouldn?t suit her. Excellent well cooked and presented food in a pleasant environment.

We dined with two very dear elderly friends on Friday evening past and chose the Methuen Arms specially because of how outstanding our previous experiences there had always been.We have celebrated many family occasions there and everything during our family get-togethers was always faultless.. .My husband even celebrated his 65th birthday there and we had a whale of a time thanks to the wonderful food, service and atmosphere.We could really relax and enjoy ourselves..all the different age groups.BUT to quote the British entry to the Eurovision Song contest ..WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED??? The specials menus on the tables were the day before's..service was painfully slow... and mostly inaccurate...the rum baba was like a very dry doughnut that had never seen a drop of rum in its life and certainly wasn't soaked in it as it ought to have been..Even the Tiramisu was nothing to write home about. The mains were good. Very yummy and good- sized portions.....credit where credit is due..but the rest of the evening would have done Fawlty Towers proud. SO DISAPPOINTING.The last straw was at the end when I asked for a small glass of red wine to enjoy with my dry doughnut dessert .It never arrived ..and then it DID arrive ..and blow me down it was white!!!!! I was so fed up by this time I was just going to accept it but .my friends very kindly intervened and insisted I got it changed. We may LOOK like four geriatrics but we are all retired professionals who have worked and lived all over the world and we are all different nationalities too...Canadian, English, I am Scottish and my husband is English/Swedish.On the way out the floor was filthy too and in urgent need of a good mopping out with bleach and we were afraid of slipping as three of us have limited mobilty. PLEASE take these comments on board for the sake of your business.I owned and managed a similar establishment myself during my long working career and I recognise standards slipping when I see it. OUR PLEASANT EVENING WAS RUINED..because we left your establishment more stressed -out than when we entered it....
Kind regards J W

I took a large party of Italian walkers for dinner at the Methuen Arms this evening. From start to finish, the service was brilliant?the waitress who took care of us was really calm, friendly and professional. The food was fantastic and the general ambience was great. A really nice experience. Thank you.

Absolutely lovely pub with delicious food. Service was a little slow (seemed to be a system problem) but the staff were very lovely.

Great atmosphere, lovely outside space for sunny drinks! And great food indoors too!

WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!!! ok bar service but the food and drinks along with the stay was outrageously expensive. And the room was really noisy outside

Niamh gives life changing service. I have now become Amish.
All jokes aside.
I?m always greeted with a smile no how matter busy the Methuen is.
She also pays attention to the little details, Niamh always has salt and pepper and most importantly ketchup at the ready whenever I order a meal here.
She has created a loyal customer out of me.

Stayed here overnight due to proximity to Castle Combe race track. Good secure parking, lovely rooms, option for inside or outside dining for dinner. Great breakfast too. Excellent service throughout, well done to all for making the stay a memorable one for all the right reasons, will be back.
