Lovely pub. Great atmosphere. Good range of food and very tasty. Staff are friendly. We visited several times over the Christmas break. Pub was beautifully decorated and with the open fire, made for a very festive experience.

Fantastic experience, pubs the way they should be.
Came across Carriers when in the area visiting.
Homemade Stilton and Broccoli soup that was amazing. Meat lasagne with meat in instead of bulked out with pasta and it was delicious. Great burger as well. Really welcoming and friendly staff. And an open fire on an autumn evening. Great place and can't recommend enough.

Enjoyed The Carrier's Arms - dog friendly and a log burner. So cosy & friendly. Didn't get to see the garden outside as it was dark, but have seen pictures of it, and it looks lovely!
