A group of 7 of us (and dog!) had a lovely Sunday roast today. I prebooked a table which was ready and waiting for us. We were well looked after by Hayley, Emily, Olivia, Pat & Izzy who ran a very efficient tag team and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious and the space we left for pudding was well rewarded!
Friendly staff, very helpful. Food was fresh and tasted amazing. Be aware ,the portion sizes are massive.
Gorgeous pub in a beautiful setting Very dog friendly, lovely garden area A lovely lady name hayley served us drinks and was super friendly and helpful. Another lovely lady came out to ask us about food but I didn't get her name. The food smelt and looked amazing, we didn't get a chance to try it as we had dogs with us and were hosting a training session but Ill definitely go back to try it. Everyone was so happy and welcoming, lovely atmosphere
The food at The Calleva Arms is seriously impressive! Finding fish and chips as good as by the seaside doesn’t happen often, but this place nailed it. Plus, the sticky toffee pudding was one of the best we’ve tasted. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Popped in for a quick drink with my son. Lovely atmosphere with a lovely modern family British vibe. A high class of cliental, was extremely busy for Sunday roasts. Looking forward to bringing the family back for food.
A cold Thursday lunch time. Pretty quiet. Well kept beer. Waited a long time for food - because, we were told, others had priority. When the food came it was very good - the mushroom risotto got rave reviews from a semi-committed vegetarian. On the basis of beer and food, this should get five stars. BUT the windows were being actively painted inside and the smell of paint was everywhere - is that OK under health and safety rules ? The grumpy bar staff did not improve the feeling of being unwelcome. Ah well. We had a great exploration of the surrounding area - the medieval fish ponds and Elizabethan Manor are even more interesting than Calleva Atrebatum !
Came for a Friday night dinner, both ordered from the specials board, great choices! Sticky Beef was definitely a winner, best meal out in a long time, highly recommend! Staff all very friendly and professional! 5 star experience!
Great food with a good selection of beers including decent non-alcoholic beers. Dog friendly. Good idea to book ahead as it gets very busy on weekend lunchtimes. It can take a while for your food to come because it's so busy, but it's really worth the wait.
Visited one lunchtime while in the area with a friend, nice pub, had the vegetarian burger which was lovely, well presented and tasted amazing, the chips were well cooked although a couple of them were cold, maybe they had already been cooked and we're not thrown back in the fryer. Apart from that it was lovely, if I went back I would sit closer to the open fire as on a cold day it is chilly.
Emailed to book for Sun. Lunch @ 13:15 but no callback. Rang on Sun. & got table for 2 at 13:45. Food is OK, came hot & tasty, bit slow to arrive; drinks arrived at the bar & I collected them myself without being notified, after they had sat there for 5 mins. Pleasant pub & village, busy I side & out, a nothing special pub...
