The Rancliffe Arms

Can not fault the carvery it was lovely and plenty to choose from ,fresh veggies and delicous roasties. Only downside was the queue for the carvery . To many people booked in at the same time. Think it might help if times were staggerd so not everyone is going to the carvery when booked for 12 clock. By the time we were leaving around 2 pm ish there was only 2 people waiting at the carvery and the resturant had filterd out a bit more so not so crowded. I would recommend going around 1.30 for a carvery . Food delicous though.

What a great Sunday lunch. We had a late Christmas get together with friends and hugely enjoyed our meal out with them. Georgia and India at the venue were super helpful in talking through my access queries for my powerchair. The corridor was pre-cleared of chairs for me to get to the facilities. Very helpful email chats before we arrived. It was really busy and everyone was kind in the carvery queue while I made my way round. Lovely atmosphere too.

Lovely old pub, but being old was probably hard to heat as not very warm in there. After meal we sat near the open fire which hadn't been tended to, wanted to stay longer but wanted to go home to get warm. Staff were great but a bit understaffed as they did their best but could have done with some help. Menu said Festive menu but nothing on for the Xmas season . The food we did have was excellent. We had the duck for starter and i had salmon and my friend had meat pie for mains.

Went for the Sunday carvery. They had four meats on (beef, turkey, pork, gammon) plus a large selection of sides you can pile high on your plate. The chipolatas and onion were especially good. Meats were all tasty and cooked perfectly. Tried the sticky toffee pudding and the chocolate orange cheesecake, both were excellent. Pub is wheelchair accessible and the team were friendly and very helpful. I would definitely recommend trying The Rancliffe Arms, a great meal and a friendly place to eat.

One of the best carveries I've experienced! There's normally a selection of 4 meats and at least triple that of vegetables! £14.50 for a Sunday lunch carvery may seem a premium price, but the quality is very good. The starter and pudding options are good and reasonably priced, but these are perhaps only needed for the greedy as the carvery portion is very generous. We will definitely be back...
