I am a little 50-50 on this place that I visited on 12/5/13 at half 12 for sunday lunch. I found the starter and desert enjoyable, however the main was lamb slices not leg of lamb as advertised. The biggest dissapointment was the staff who was clueless, the young lad had to be asked 3 times for deserts and nearly... More

I was advised to try out Percy Arms for my birthday as it was highly recommended by friends. We rang up and booked a table for 11 and were given a time. The ordering seemed rushed and we didnt have enough time to fully read the menu, they also had a few things off the menu which they didnt have,... More

We have been a few times and really enjoyed it, but this time round it was a little disappointing. I normally order something from the grill like a steak or the kebab but this time I ordered the lamb tagine and was really underwhelmed by the size of the portion and the spicing of the sauce. The presentation on a... More

We visited the Percy Arms for the first time in a year this week - not for any other reason other than we were trying to save money. In the past the food has always been excellent but the service fair to woeful. I've waited in excess of an hour in the past but this time, with eight of us,... More

One of my friends introduced me to the Percy Arms, I had driven past a few times and dismissed it as a drinkers pub with minimal food options, I was sooooo very wrong! It is advisable to book, that is the first surprise, then when you pull into the sizeable car park and see the exterior layout you begin to... More

We've eaten here a few times and have always had a good experience. It's one of the best places around here. The food is generally really good and the service usually is too. You do sometimes have a bit of a wait when they're busy but the food is worth it. If you feel you're being ignored then get someones... More

Easily the best restaurant in this area by a long way. It's been consistently busy since it was taken over a few years ago and you can see why. The menu is reasonably sized but not changed too often and you get the rewards of consistent cooking. The waiting times can be a little long fromt time to time but... More

We dropped in for lunch on a Tuesday and although busy and no tables in the Conservatory we had a choice of a table and were told the food would be about 30 minutes which was no problem. My husband had lamb and I had breast of duck- both were delicious. The quantity, quality and presentation of the food were... More

First visit - well impressed by decor, atmosphere, menu (massive choice), food quality, prices, and service ( in general ). Good to see a place like this prosper by doing the right things, providing honest good value and high quality. Looks like some serious money has been spent on this place recently. One minor observation (training thing rather than gripe)...the... More

dear customer, I do not know which friday you are referring to but as stated on previous reviews it is reccommended to book for a weekend, just because no one is sat at the tables when you enter does not mean that they are available. Let me assure you of one thing at no time do I or any of... More
