Food reliably good, staff reliably welcoming and very dog friendly - one of my favourites!

Popped into the Strickland Arms on the off chance they had a table and so glad they did! Overall very welcoming with good service in a real country pub! We all enjoyed a hearty meal of either scampi, lamb hotpot or a GF fish finger sandwich (wish I had gone for the fish and chips as it looked immense!) Located close to the entrance of Sizergh Castle with good sized car park and is dog friendly.

What an excellent place to eat! The service is exceptionally good - we were made to feel welcome from the first moment. Our dog was welcome - she lay quietly by the table. We both chose the lamb and mint pies. SO good! Clearly hand-made pies with tasty crusts all around the meet-filled pie. Even the chips were good in their own right. We are insulted but the garden looked good with areas of shade and sunlight (it was hot when we were there so shade counts). Plenty of parking in the car park and on the road. Located right next to the entrance to Sizergh Castle (National Trust), it’s very convenient before or after a visit.

I'm writing this review nearly two months after dining here, yet I still think of this steak and ale pie on a nearly daily basis. It is truly depressing to think about the fact that I will most likely never have the chance to come back here again, and will henceforth live out the rest of my life without ever getting to eat this pie again. Thanks for giving me a new void in my heart that can never be filled, Strickland Arms. If you're thinking about eating their steak and ale pie, I'd honestly say think twice (especially if this is a one-time visit) as it WILL alter your brain chemistry permanently. You have been warned.

It was a sunny day when I visited this place with my family. The food was exceptional and the same applies to the personnel. We sat outside and it was amazing. Not sure how it will be on a rainy day but if the sun shines Strickland Arms is the place to sit and enjoy drinking and eating.
