View all feedback. What timb075 doesn't like about The Rickards Arms:
We went to Rickards on a Thursday night, as we usually do. While enjoying our drinks, the bartender asked us to move (not very nicely) because we weren't participating in the quiz. Reluctantly, we moved to the designated area. However, after 10 minutes, he not only yelled at us, but also other customers to be quiet while we were just chatting. We felt insulted and frustrated. We had already moved from our preferred s... View all feedback.

Sunday lunch family gathering. Lunch was reasonably priced and very enjoyable. Staff very helpful, Very friendly. Will hopefully visit again.

Rickards provides a relaxed atmosphere, but recent experiences with the bartender have left some patrons disappointed. The food receives mixed reviews, with some diners praising the Sunday lunch while others found it lacking. The pub itself has a traditional charm, accommodating both students and non-students with friendly staff and a pleasant owner. With plans to expand their dining options, Rickards offers good value for money and a welcoming environment for those looking for a casual meal or drinks. Despite some issues with the bartender and food quality, many guests look forward to returning to this charming pub.
