   Restaurant meal. It was OK, but wouldn't rush back. My salmon starter and plaice main course were very good. However my partner had the pate, which was boring, no chutney or even a lettuce leaf with it. The fillet steak was a bit tough and stringy. The pudding menu didn't appeal at all. The wine list is good. Service passable

   We were bought a £50 voucher from friends who enjoyed their experience. Booked a table, food and experience was great, waitress accidentally took the voucher when taking menus. Eventually sorted but uncomfortable response and took the edge off a what was intended to be a lovely evening!

   We took the children to Alton Towers this half term and we wanted to stay in a nice place for the night. I am telling you it doesn’t disappoint ! The rooms, the food the staff is 5 stars! A gem of the area! Love love love

   We were staying nearby in Denstone and came across this gem of a pub — easily the best we found in the area. After stopping in for a post-walk drink and receiving such a warm welcome (for us and our dog!), we couldn’t resist coming back twice for dinner. The menu is exciting, seasonal, and full of tempting choices — we had to return just to try more of our favourites! Wonderful food, great atmosphere, and genuinely friendly service. Highly recommended.

   Popped in for a quick lunch, the service was very friendly and efficient. The food was good as you can see from the pics. The burger was perhaps a little dry and some may have found the portion small but it was fine for my Wife n I.

   The service was very poor, it was a struggle to get a drink and was charged for still water that never made it to the table. The food was very bland for the price and lacked basic seasoning. I was expecting better and was very disappointed.

   We were a party of 6 celebrating a friend's 60th birthday on a Sunday evening. As soon as we walked in we were warmly greeted by the lovely staff. The atmosphere was very cosy, with nice lighting and a log fire; perfect to relax and enjoy a special evening, which it was. There is an extensive wine list which was very impressive. We ordered the steak which was cooked exactly to our choices and was very tender and delicious. The waitress must have overheard that it was our friend's birthday: she brought a special dessert plate with homemade truffles for her after the dessert; what a lovely gesture! We had a wonderful evening - I just wish we had a pub like this in Brighton! Would highly recommend it and would love to return! Thank you!

   We have eaten at the Duncombe Arms many times in the past and have always found the food to be excellent. This time we had Sunday lunch and were really disappointed. We all ordered the roast beef and found the meal quite unappetising. It had obviously been cooked ages before and kept warm, so was tasteless. The staff, as always, were lovely! We shall return but not for Sunday lunch.

   One of the best meals I have ever eaten out in a long time. The starter was exquisite. I know they change the menu frequently but wish I could go back and have more. Cocktails were lovely and main meal was also excellent. The dessert at the time was good but only a slight let down in comparison to the first two courses. Still overall an amazing experience and lovely night.
