Grantley Arms

Beautifully decorated pub that is dog friendly and feels very English and traditional. It was a birthday meal booked last minute and we were lucky to get a slot. We had a lovely seat by the real fire and the twinkly lights and real candles created such a cosy warm atmosphere. The position next to the fire got a teeny bit warm but I prefer warm to cold any day. Our dog loved the fire. The food was gorgeous, we had fish and chips, Beautiful crisp batter and very yummy crisp but soft in the centre chips. The tartar sauce was divine. We had the sourdough bread to start which was yummy. Wonderful experience and well worth booking, great place to celebrate. One teeny thing was we were charged £10 discretionary service which overall wasn't bad but not great either...we wanted salt for our chips and none in the salt and pepper combo on the table...you'd think they would check before each service? So asked for some...waited ages till in the end the couple near us passed over theirs...not ideal as been to better service places without a service charge. However, it was only a minor detail and didn't take away from our lovely time. Thank you
