What Peter P doesn't like about Ranken Arms:
Food was OK, prices are very high for what you get, drinks are also very expensive. Had to sit outside as restaurant was full, but still had to pay same menu prices despite not getting same service. Lively pub though, plenty of outside seating, very clean and with a canopy. View all feedback. What Jaki Albrecht likes about Ranken Arms:
This was my first visit to this restaurant, and I hope to return many times in the future. The food was delicious, especially the Biscoffe cheesecake which was absolutely amazing. The staff were welcoming and friendly, and the atmosphere was great. View all feedback.

Excellent food, attentive, efficient service and well kept cask ales. Well worth trying anew as it seems to be on the up-and-up again under new management.

The Ranken Arms offers a lively pub atmosphere with high prices and average food. Service has been inconsistent, from terrible to top-notch, but the lovely beer garden is a plus. While some patrons experienced rude treatment, others had the best Sunday lunch in a long time, with proper chips and fantastic service. The place is always busy, so booking in advance is recommended. Overall, the Ranken Arms provides a great experience for couples, families, and dogs, offering delicious home-cooked food at reasonable prices in a beautiful location. An ideal spot for a quick lunch or a leisurely dinner.
