read moreThe Vane Arms offers a mixed dining experience, with some customers praising the warm and welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, and accommodating staff. However, some reviews mention issues such as flat pints, overcooked calamari, bland gammon, and disappointing rooms. The pub is dog-friendly but may not be suitable for everyone due to a lack of cleanliness and unwelcoming attitudes towards pets. Overall, The Vane Arms is recommended for those looking for a historic pub experience with good food and friendly service, but potential visitors should be aware of possible inconsistencies in quality and service.

Went with two friends, very welcoming and the bottomless brunch was very good value. Service was excellent and a great find
