    Last minute booking, bar area to ourselves. Good superb and very quick coming up the table. Home cooked, fresh, hot and superb value for money. 3 courses, two bar drinks and change from £40. Keep up the good work.

    Popped in by chance after finding the pub we were heading to didn’t open til 2. What a find, we only went due to the 4.9 Google rating and from outside just looks like a basic boozer. They gave us the last table - the place was full, with good reason. We had the 3 meat dinner and corned beef hash. Hash came in an old saucepan with a massive yorkie on top, mine came with a huge bowl of proper home prepared veg & gravy. Puds were big and old school - proper pastry used for the pies like your Nan used to make. We are still pogged 5 hours later. Cost £33. Give it a try.

    Had a family birthday celebration here this lunchtime. Atmosphere, food, drinks and service were splendid. All nine of us thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Well done. Big thank you to Michael and his team.

    Simple home cooked food done to an extremely high standard. Comfort food never tasted so good. Friendly and pleasant waitresses dealt with our every need with a smile on their faces. The chef came out into the dining room to check how the guests were enjoying the food and, without exception, got a huge thumbs up 👍 from every diner. Get yourself down here and pick anything from the menu or specials board and I am confident saying that you'll love it.

    Went for Sunday lunch, food was lovely. Table for 6 and enough sides provided to more than fill everyone. Steak pie was spot on. Didn’t have Michael’s signature Belly pork (a must try for anyone who’s not) but will be next time. Well priced too.

    First time here and we were not disappointed. Our table of 14 people was served fast and correctly. The staff were very accommodating and pleasent. Our food was lovely, and as for the price.. well, 3 courses for £15.

    Booked a table here last night Food was amazing lovely pub full of character .the service was very slow for taking our order , the waitress was stood at the bar just staring into space , tried to get her attention to say we were ready to order finally was getting up when she came over .The other waitress that was serving other table's was really on the ball and quick to ask if anyone needed anything eles , even though she said she normally works behind the bar .hopefully we'll get her next time . I cannot rate the food highly enough I had the pie and my husband had the lamb , beaufiful , then finished off with rice pudding served in a little pan. Complements to the chef . Price was extremely reasonable would definitely recommend.

    One word, "WOW". Food was absolutely incredible, price was very affordable for the quality and size of protons. The waiting staff were absolutely delightful. Will definitely be heading back. Recommend the 'Druken Lamb' and 'Belly Pork". You will not be disappointed.

    Visited with a group of friends on saturday 12 September, made very welcome. I asked the chef for a different soup to what was on the menu and he happily obliged. The chef/owner came out several times to see if we had everything we needed. 8 of us could NOT FAULT our various meals , the food was absolutely SUPERB . When we were leaving the Chef/Owner even walked to the mini bus to say goodbye to us. Such a warm welcoming man, plus a great cheerful team . Dont hesitate get down there and enjoy the tasty dishes .

    If ever a place did 'exactly what it says on the tin' then Nostalgic Kitchen at The Shepherds Arms is it! This place serves proper home cooked, hearty, comfort food and it does it really well. I had the chicken tikka bites to start. The chicken was generous and succulent, whilst the tikka sauce tasted as good as any served in a curry house. I then had the lamb and mint pie, which was delicious. The pastry was great, the lamb was cooked to perfection and the gravy was thick and tasty, just how I like it. A generous helping of veg and chunky chips too! We finished off with a brandy snap dessert with rum and raisin ice cream to share (we were too stuffed to have one each!) and yes, that was tasty too. With the Eat Out to Help Out discount, all of this for two people came to a measly £18.25. I couldn't believe it! Even without the discount, this in my opinion would have been great value for money. The staff were friendly and the Chef (owner?) even came out a couple of times to make sure we were enjoying our meal. We will definitely be returning!
