A little disappointed. We have been diners here on several occasions and up to now have been impressed by the menu and the service. On this occasion their summer Sunday lunch menu was fine and the lamb was excellent but the service was not up to scratch. We were a family of five, the pub was nearly empty when we arrived, staff were around but inattentive. Each time we had to get up and ask for a menu (drinks, food child’s and main), ask whether we could order a drink and ask if we could order our meal. Maybe it was one of those days, but we hope that next time we have a better experience.

Don't normally do reviews but felt the need to for this place. Absolutely fantastic! Very nice pub/restaurant area. Bedroom was spotlessly clean and nicely decorated. All the staff were very friendly but Jess in particular was very welcoming at check in and attentive/helpful during dinner. The food was brilliant, including the little extras like the bread and chilli butter. Location is very secluded - be careful on the narrow lanes - not the hotel's fault at all, just be prepared to pull in on the single track!

The Queen’s Arms in Corton Denham is a charming pub—great beer, fantastic food (when it arrives), and a barman who was absolutely brilliant. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the head waitress, who let the side down in spectacular fashion. We ordered food at 10 past 8, and my steak didn’t arrive until 9.30. By then, I’d eaten so much bread to fill the void I was worried I’d have to roll myself home. When I politely raised the delay, she wasn’t having any of it. No apology, no acknowledgment—just denial. And when I suggested we shouldn’t have to pay, she flat-out refused. Denial isn’t just a river in Africa, it seems—it’s also on the menu here. Even though this was a poor experience, the Queen’s Arms is still a fantastic place, and I’ll be back. It’s a lovely pub with a lot to offer, and I look forward to giving it another chance and hopefully enjoying the meal it’s clearly capable of serving.

Had a wonderful evening meal in a group of 14. In a lovely side room setting with a roaring fire. The staff were very attentive and focussed on our enjoyment. Great food, well presented. I also really valued the quality of the table cloth, napkins and cutlery. Looking forward to eating here again
