Excellent food. Great service, and warm friendly atmosphere inside. Staff couldn’t do enough for you, and very kindly altered my meal when I didn’t like one part of it. Great selection of drinks too! Lovely evening!

The food at the Craddock is always ace. The service is always outstanding. If it is not on the menu and you want something different ask the server and they will check if the chef can do it for you. That is what I call service.

I went with my husband for an early (5.30 pm) pre-concert, Saturday meal with my husband and we were surprised by how busy the Cradock Arms was. It was clearly very popular, so we were hopeful the meal would be good. We were not disappointed. We both chose the Cradock fish pie and it was delicious. A member of staff commented that it was always a favourite! We found the staff to be friendly and helpful. We will certainly dine here again.

We had a lovely table and were served very quickly by a friendly and helpful waiter. The food was delicious as always. A wide range of choices and the specials board had some great new dishes to choose from My friend enjoyed it so much she is going to take her husband there next week. I will certainly be back there again very soon

Food and service up to its usual high standard. New menu with some of the old favourites and some newcomers. Missing the Scampi and Creme Brûlée’s. However still an excellent choice. Will book again. Great value.

I enjoyed my meal but it was not as good as previous visits to this venue ! My friend who was dining there for the first time enjoyed most of the food supplied. I will be going to the Craddock Arms again.

I Aenjoted the changes to the menu except for the pickles in the burger. However the waitress did say if I ever want to order a burger I can ask for no pickles so happy now. Staff were helpful and food very good. Was busy but we didn’t have a long wait which was great.

The menu seems to have changed in the last few months, not for the better. The steak sandwich now has pesto and some other sauce .. Also when you serve salad please do NOT add dressing as it will get left if peeps do not like dressing. In fact the salad looks delicious without dressing and something I would eat but not with. If you need to include dressing for the salad please leave this separate. I think you are getting this comment...thanks!

We normally have great food and service here. Unfortunately this time we were sat in a booth by the toilets and were either forgotten by the waiters or served twice. After nearly two hours we gave up waiting for someone to take our pudding order and paid. There seemed to be no system or communication among the staff. After we’d paid we were asked for our pudding order and then asked if we wanted the bill. My partner left a £5 tip which I thought wasn’t deserved.

Food was great, service impeccable - really quick. Did not have time to feel starved! Staff were really polite, friendly and professional. I had never been to The Craddock Arms before. Had met a friend there few days ago for drinks and really liked what was on the menu hence booked a table. I had an amazing experience.

We regularly eat at the Cradock Arms and always enjoy the experience. The staff are very attentive and cheerful and friendly too. The food is absolutely brilliant and very good value. This is an excellent venue for family gatherings of any size and children are well looked after and catered for. Sunday lunch today was beautiful and the guest we brought with us thoroughly enjoyed her roast turkey and peach cobbler and the meal was a great success. Many thanks.

On the whole good, but did feel the person who took our drinks order was somewhat judgemental. We were 5 adults and 2 small children, after ordering six non-alcoholic drinks (4 adults were drivers) the person whose birthday it was ordered a beer (he was not driving) to which we got the remark “at last someone’s ordered a proper drink” whilst being responsible drinkers you do not want to feel you should be ordering alcohol - perhaps he was on commission

We had a delicious meal. Two of us chose ham and eggs with the best chips so far this year. The pie and mash were also excellent. only reason not a 5 star review was the fourth person ordered a chicken salad which was delicious but a small portion. Overall a great visit as always.
