A very good restaurant with pleasant happy staff. The food is good - properly cooked - with a good balance of taste and texture. Price is higher than some but easily justified by the quality.

A lovely little pub with great food. The staff are friendly and really attentive. Only criticisms I would have is it's a little chilly when you first sit down, and the lights could be dimmed slightly as it is a little bright, but these are small issues and I would still highly recommend!

We enjoyed lovely food here served by really friendly staff; the Vane Arms is in a lovely village location but is not too far away from main routes / roads which is also good

The food was outstanding. We ordered from the 'set menu' and it was really good value for money. The sticky toffee pudding was the best I've had. It only loses 1 star due to it costing more money to have 4 glasses of wine, than ordering a bottle and we weren't informed of this until we got the bill. However, we will definitely go back as the food was so good.

Excellent food and service. It was quiet when we arrived at 12pm but became a little crowded before we left as our table was near to the bar where people were standing having a drink. However this didn't stop us enjoying the meal.

They claimed they didn't receive my request for a high chair when it was included in the special instructions. Fairly unapologetic as well when unavailable

The food and service was great, I had the seabass which was perfectly cooked, the decor is very informal but don't expect just pub food, it is restaurant quality.

Lovely setting and beautifully decorated but it lacked any atamosphere. The food was restaurant or gastro pub prices but really not great, my bubble and squeak was just incredibly salty mash potato. Very disappointed.
