Review summary

The Unthank Arms is a charming spot known for "great food, great value, great staff." Guests often comment on its "friendly and attentive" service and cozy atmosphere. The menu caters well to gluten-free diets, and the outdoor garden is a delightful place to unwind. Some reviews note room for improvement with Sunday roasts, but most experiences are "highly recommended."

    We were a party of 6. The soup was cold on top and just warm on the bottom. Not much taste either. We ordered 6 roasts, 4 chicken supreme, 1 beef and 1 All the meats. The beef was inedible, it was hard to cut and very chewy. Also, for £19 I expected more than a very small piece of beef that I couldn't eat. On the All the meats roast, they couldn't eat the beef either. And he didn't touch the vegetables. The vegetables were not hot and the cauliflower cheese was mushy. We mentioned the beef and the cauliflower cheese to the staff and they took my beef off the bill and 1 of the cauliflower dishes. The service was very good.

    In many pubs, the Xmas lunch is not as good as the rest of the year but I was very happy with the quality of the Xmas lunch today. All 3 of my courses were very good and everyone at the table seemed happy too. My only suggestion would be to add a small piece of bread or toast with the salmon mousse.

    I was very grateful for a vegan option of a roast dinner. However the nut roast lacked flavour and texture, but still tasty. May be consider adding a vegan Yorkshire pud. Also it would be nice to have more than one vegan choice on the desert menu. Overall a lovely meal My go to pub for drinks and food I will return Thank you 😊
