"Great pub , nice and roomy , lovely beer garden to chill with hubby and dog on visit , staff pleasant, food good (not al carte). Bit worth a visit"
What an absolute hidden gem this pub is. You would not know the pub was there unless you took a stroll through the village or heard of it through word of mouth. You instantly get the cosy country pub feeling when you walk in. Very friendly atmosphere and have returned a few times since our first visit. Food is exceptional! A real hearty home cooked meal which left us wanting more. You can tell a lot of thought, care, and planning goes into the meals and the specials on offer. We could not compliment the chef enough for a Tuesday meal! We were served by the bar manager, Jordan. A very friendly and welcoming person that instantly made us feel like we were a local. We were made to feel so welco...
On a recent visit to the area, called in with friends after a long walk, had a spot of lunch and a few drinks. On arrival, greeted by a young man who I can only presume is the manager, he promptly served our drinks and found us a table and brought the drinks over, we were handed menus, I opted for the traditional homemade faggots and my partner chose the meatballs, the order was taken at the table. The food delivery was quick and it was obviously freshly made, the food was excellent! We ended up staying for a few more drinks! The manager (Jordan as we later found out) looked after us, bringing drinks over and checking on us. A really pleasant afternoon and would highly recommend a visit!
Have been using the Boringdon Arms for quite a few years and always found the food excellent. However when taking my wife, daughter and son in law for Sunday lunch a few weeks ago I can only say that the portion size for the medium size roast was awful.I hate to think what size the small roast was. The veg for four of us was the same as people had for the two of them and the meat was minimal and only 3 small potatoes. I rarely complain about things but this has has been nagging at me for a while. We were also charged for an extra pint that we did not have.only noticed when we got home. I know the place was packed out but this is no excuse for the size of the meals served.
Unplanned stop at The Boringdon Arms for lunch with my husband (spontaneous lunch date). Food, staff, venue, value, customers………all wonderful. I had the spring green risotto (with a requested extra of cheese) with salad which was delicious. My husband had ham, egg, chips and mushy peas which he said is one of the best he’s ever had. Both very reasonably priced (around £9-£10). The staff were friendly and attentive. The customers (and dogs) were friendly and welcoming. We played darts. There were some lovely looking cosy booths to the rear of the pub and a great looking garden area which I assume would be wonderful in the warmer evenings. Highly recommend, we will return

My partner and I booked for Christmas Dinner on Friday 1st December. I have had in my time, many traditional Christmas meals out at various venues. Venues from celebrity chefs restaurants to hotels and other eateries. I can honestly say, hand on heart, that the roast turkey Christmas Dinner we had at The Borringdon Arms was the best and I mean the best that I have had out. Beautiful thick hand carved turkey, amazing pig in blanket, roast potatoes, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding and so many lovely vegetables that we struggled to eat everything. I suggest that you see if there is any availability left for this wonderful Christmas feast. Well done TEAM BA.
This restaurant is a decent and honest place to dine or stay. They offer fresh, well-prepared food at reasonable prices. The dishes we tried were not frozen or microwaved, and the hand-cut chips were freshly fried. We didn't find this level of quality anywhere else in the area. Overall, we struggled to find satisfying options in the area due to unpleasant and overpriced pub food, but both this restaurant and the Guard Room nearby offer fresh and reasonably priced meals.
Great genuine pub with a great atmosphere, fantastic staff, good food. Recommend coming in on a Friday evening, every local was in with a dog and a smile. We had arrived and with in 5 mins had struck up a couple of conversations and had been told all about the local highlights. Thanks to the General manager Jordan
