Restaurant - My tiger prawns needed another minute on the grill, as the shells needed a little persuasion to remove, moving on, my steak 14oz ribeye was lovely and id happily go back to this restaurant, lovely setting, good food, 2 courses, quality steak mains £130ish that's completely reasonable imo.
Had a lovely Burns Night meal in the Garden Room tonight. Each course was delicious and very well balanced. The deep fried Mars bar went so well with the whisky cream (which was like a syllabub on it's own). Our server, Liv, was lovely. Friendly and efficient.
I'm quite surprised to read some reviews about the quality of the food. Me and my wife both had a ribeye steak and it was lovely. The rest of our party really enjoyed their food. Quite a large drink menu. Service was great and it's a lovely building.
Excellent meal at the carrington arms, we had a couple of cuts from the meat counter, cooked perfectly to our order with some really tasty sides. Drinks and dessert also very nice, and a reasonable bill for what we had. Great service from Hannah throughout.
This place has been our go-to spot for steak since 2016, and it never disappoints. The quality of the food has remained consistently excellent over the years, which is rare to find. What makes Carrington Arms stand out is the unique experience of choosing your own cut of meat and deciding how large a portion you’d like. It feels personal and tailored, and the staff are always happy to guide you if you’re unsure. The steaks are cooked to perfection every time; juicy, flavorful, and exactly how you ask for them. The sides are just as impressive, with fresh, well-prepared options that complement the main dish beautifully. Whether it’s the crispy chips, seasonal vegetables, or sauces, everything feels thoughtfully made and delicious. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. It’s the kind of place where you feel comfortable whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying a casual meal. The consistency in service and quality over nearly a decade of visits speaks volumes about the care and pride the team puts into what they do. If you’re a steak lover, Carrington Arms is a must-visit. It’s rare to find a restaurant that delivers such high standards year after year, and we’re always excited to return knowing the experience will be just as good as the last.
Incredible place to visit. The ability to speak with the chef to request your cut of steak, the weight and sides/sauces is such a nice experience and both times I have eaten here the food has been sublime. (Can't comment on the hotel, as we visited only the restaurant)
Really enjoyed the food and the location is great. Would definitely recommend. Only downside was that the table we were seated at was very small and uncomfortable to sit on. There was not enough space to sit comfortably and enjoy our food.
Absolutely beautiful food.. Probably one of the best steaks I've ever had... Was served by grace.. Looks after us and a great service
