A welcoming village pub with generous, mostly well-regarded home-style food and excellent Sunday roasts, but check opening hours and book ahead for busy periods.
Roos Arms draws praise for fresh, generous cooking, with roasts, curries and desserts that reviewers repeatedly single out. Friendly, accommodating service and a welcoming beer garden and fireplace make it a loyal village favorite, though its consistency and speed keep it just short of the very top tier.
Roos Arms is a traditional village pub with a warm, lived-in character: a fireplace, beer garden, pool table, local ales and a crowd that clearly treats it as a community hub. Diners describe it as welcoming and cosy, though the room can turn lively and loud when the pool table and local trade are in full swing. The setting feels more friendly local than polished destination dining. The food follows a generous British-pub playbook, led by Sunday roasts, fish and chips, pies, burgers, steaks and hearty curries. Reviews repeatedly praise the portions, homemade feel and desserts, with roasts attracting the most enthusiasm. A minority report uneven meat quality, rushed or slow service and limited choice, so expectations should be classic comfort food rather than elaborate cooking. Families are well catered for: the current menu has fish fingers, chicken goujons, sausage, children's lasagne, scampi and a children's Sunday roast, while reviewers report successful visits with children ranging from toddlers to teenagers. One family found the child's chicken tough, so execution can vary, but the range and generous portions make this a practical family meal venue.
