   Lovely cosy atmosphere in the pub with open fires. Very good menu with some unusual choices - always good to see. Food was delicious, service good too. Very nice place, we will go again

   We were regular visitors at the Duncombe Arms, however hadn’t been for a while due to family commitments. We were unfortunately disappointed after our visit today, restaurant was very busy, our drinks and food order were taken very quickly, however the food arrived before the drinks, which we had to chase up whilst we ate. The food was not very warm, potatoes were definitely reheated, very school dinnerish difficult to cut and not very warm, clearly cooked earlier in the day and microwaved. Such a shame as when we last visited food was always good, often drinks were delayed but we ignored that because the food was good. We were scrunched into a corner, access wasn’t easy for the passing of food and drinks, everything had to be handed over the heads of our party. The bill was expensive, especially considering the quality of the food we paid £200 for 4 people, 2 courses each, 1 j20, 2 glasses of rose champagne, one cola and one beer, 5 cups of coffee. Very disappointing experience, especially as it was a first visit for our friends.
