    We have now been to this pub for a meal twice and it is really good. It is in a very attractive village and is very cosy inside. The food is really nice and the staff are great.

    Myself and my family visited The Pickering Arms for my birthday, what a gorgeous pub! The staff are very attentive and friendly, we weren’t made to feel rushed at all and felt very relaxed throughout our visit. I would recommend the Sunday roast and the apple and raspberry crumble was delicious! We will definitely be visiting again x

    Fabulous food, a couple of choices had sold out but we always eat late so it's not an issue and there are more than enough choices to keep us happy. Its a lovely environment with helpful and attentive staff and it's my new favourite place to eat. Dog friendly is a bonus too.

    Wasn’t a good experience at all, our meat was booked online for 12, when we arrived the restaurant was closed, so had to wait in the car park, when we  eventually got in the pub was freezing cold, so we had to leave our coats on. Order food just after 12:15 but didn’t get served till gone 2pm. Won’t be going back to this restaurant
    Pickering ArmsResponded on 6 February 2025
    Dear Brendan, I'm truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. We clearly fell short on this occasion, and I apologise for the inconvenience caused by the delay and the temperature in the pub. Your feedback is invaluable, and we'll address these issues to ensure they don't happen again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Best regards, The Pickering Arms
