The Cholmeley Arms

Very good food. I would book because it is popular! We had a group of 9 and there was also another table room had an even larger group which on the night caused some delays, however the staff were very friendly throughout and never appeared flustered.
Meals were very large and great quality. There was a struggle for some to finish the mains, no-​one had desert! All meals were twice the size and half the price you would expect for the quality.
Shame I don’t live nearer as its somewhere I would like to go back to again.

We went to this place having had the poor meal at the Crown and Anchor, we had to leave the C&A due to mould on the toast, so this place was going to be excellent whatever, when compared to that.
I am pleased to say that this place did not let us down. We have eaten here twice over the last 2 years. The food is good, you get alot of it which is fine if you are of super size. I am 6ft 2″ and I will normally have a starter and a main or a main and a pudding but having had the main I struggled to fit the pudding in. I think they should reduce the portion size ever so slightly so that they get their patrons to order a pudding as well on more occasions. Makes more business sense to me!
My main was a ribeye steak and chips with mushrooms and tomatoes, I had strawberry pavalova for my pudding. I overheard some other customers order the pavalova as well but unfortunately for them the pub had run out. It was really good and knowing that I had the last one made it taste even better!
They have a selection of bitters on tap.
The staff were attentive, young, I think perhaps the sons of the owners. They seemed to give that bit of extra attention and when they asked how things were/​how was the meal etc, they did want to know rather than just asking for the sake of things.
There is a massive car park at the location and also a farm shop, we went in briefly to the shop but only to get out of the thunder storm /​rain that was occuring at the time so I cant review that facility.
Will probably use this place more often now that the C&A let us down.
