As ever, perfect food and service. Highly recommend. We had the Christmas menu and the turkey was excellent. Professional and efficient service, but then I’ve never had any other at The Cradock.

We have been coming to The Cradock Arms once or twice a week for about 3 years now. Needless to say we find the food is always excellent, the staff welcoming and courteous and basically we just love it!

Excellent food and service. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal, but not much in the way of Christmas decor. But would certainly go back for another meal

We were shown to our table but after half an hour had gone by I had to stop a waiter and let him know that nobody had been to ask for our drinks and food order. He was very apologetic but did ensure that a waitress came to us immediately. The drinks came very quickly but there was a long wait for our meals. However when the meals arrived they were lovely and hot and very delicious. In favour of the establishment it was an extremely busy evening with obvious delays in the kitchen. On a less busy evening I don't think we would have encountered any problems. I will certainly visit again as the range and quality of food is very good

For Sunday lunch no veg dish available but only vegetables. I go many places and they always have a veg dish available. My son had to share vegetables with his dad with their mains which they were not happy about

We chose from the Sunday lunch options. The food was superb and the beer was nice too (Everard's Tiger). Staff were very friendly and made us feel relaxed. There was a fair amount of ambient noise in the dining room, but that was because so many people were enjoying a chat

Everything was great apart from the seating for 6 in the booth was a tad too cosy and a bit of a tight squeeze. We would definitely come again (the faggots were a treat reminiscent of childhood dinner times) but next time I would ask not to be seated in a booth.

Food was very good, service was great. Only minor gripe was that it took a while for the food from ordering to it actually being served. Definitely eat at the Cradock again.
