The Grantley Arms
Description
The Grantley Arms has experienced a transformation, moving away from its cozy, traditional roots to a more modern atmosphere. While it remains a beautiful spot for couples seeking a quality meal—with an extensive menu and a warm welcome from hosts Eric and Val—families with children may find the experience less accommodating. Although the food is praised for its freshness and presentation, some diners have noted a decline in service and an increase in prices. For those looking for a casual evening or a special occasion, The Grantley Arms still offers delightful cuisine, but families might want to consider other options.

We have been dining at this restaurant every year when we visit our family, and we used to really enjoy the experience. However, recently there have been changes... It is no longer a traditional pub and has become pretentious. It is a nice place to eat for couples, but it is expensive for what you receive. The staff are somewhat grumpy, which is not charming. We do not recommend this place for families with children. We made a reservation for a table including a high chair, even though our children were well-behaved and stayed in their seats, the owner stated that other diners were not pleased. In reality, the other diners did not say anything and it was the snobbish waitress who ruined our meal. It is best to avoid this restaurant if you have children, as they are clearly not welcome there.
We used to visit this restaurant every year when we were in town visiting family, and we typically enjoyed our meals there. However, on our most recent visit, we found that things had changed. The restaurant is no longer the cozy traditional pub we remembered. It is still a nice place to eat for a couple, but we found it to be overpriced for the quality of the food. The staff seemed unfriendly and lacking in charm. They were particularly unwelcoming towards children. We had booked a table for eight, including a high chair for our well-behaved children, but the owner expressed dissatisfaction with their presence. Other diners did not indicate any issue, but the snobbish attitude of the waitress put a damper on our dining experience. We recommend avoiding this restaurant if you have children, as it is clear they are not welcome here.
This charming and unique restaurant pub serves delicious home-cooked meals. The fish cake was outstanding, with generous portions of salmon, squid, and smoked squid that were absolutely delicious.
Very nice cooked fresh on order. Expensive but worth it
A lovely place to relax. The food is truly amazing with a great menu and plenty of variety when it comes to drinks. There is always a warm welcome from Eric and Val. The Grantley Arms is definitely worth a visit!
