A lovely traditional local pub with good food and well kept ales. Very friendly staff who always give a warm welcome. Just the place before or after a walk with the dog.

Not visited the 'Carps' for a couple of decades (I live away from the area now) but nothing has changed.....which is great as far as I'm concerned. Good choice of lighter lunches to balance cooked meal offerings. Will def treat my daughter here again when I'm passing.

Average Sunday roast, roast potatoes from the freezer probably the same can be said about the veg. Custard straight from the tin. Not really worth the money especially when a service charge was automatically added to the bill without being advertised.

A rolling country walk, dog on lead and a warm comfortable pub with lunch at the end. Nicely cooked food, an interesting menu, a lovely pint, all wrapped in a hospitable and attentive atmosphere. With some local history this Cotswold stone pub is a classic delight.

Fab people running a great village pub. All the food tasted really homemade. Generous, in fact huge portions. Real community atmosphere and felt very welcomed although we weren't local we were treated as locals. Will visit again.

We have been to this pub quite a few times a d always found all really good, sadly on this occasion we having booked a table we were greeted by sit where you like in very indifferent terms it was a cold day and even colder in the pub a fire was attempted fo be lit they then turned the heating on when it went out. The food was cold at the first attempt 2nd attempt hot but not good. Such a shame the place is now u kept and nobody appears to care

A good honest country pub with very good food and beer. It beats many pub chains with their 'fancy food' hands-down. Combine a Carpenters Arm lunch with a Miserden Gardens visit and you've got an excellent day out.

Lovely pub - excellent service from funny and charming staff, beautiful roast dinners which are huge, very welcoming feel, not at all pretentious for a beautiful pub, old pub in the Cotswolds! Very dog-friendly with lots of dog biscuit treats! Excellent customer service, one of our favourite pubs to visit!

Lovely village friendly pub, well organised for social distancing for those particularly concerned over such. My wife had steak and ale pie , mine was stone cold in the middle so clearly not totally fresh and not microwaved for long enough, chips and peas ok. Shame as enjoyed other aspects of the visit.

Really sorted in terms of being COVID 19 safe. Lots of screens, a one way system and masses of outdoor dining space. They have an outdoor takeaway-style menu and an indoor posh pub grub menu. Social distancing is done well and carefully. Perfect place to go for a pub lunch and gorgeous walk/cycle or garden visit.
