.My friend and I attended a brilliant night’s performance on Friday 13th of a Mystery Murder (Love Boat) and the arrangement of the room was magnificent, the 3 course meal was absolutely delicious, the service and staff were Exceptional too and last but not least the acting from the performers was outstanding! We hope that in the future they will be invited back as we will certainly be attending. Many thanks to everyone involved it was the most amazing night
We had our wedding day on Sunday the 23rd of November at The Sitwell Arms and the day was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The staff were all amazing and I knew I didn't have to worry about a thing as they had everything covered. From booking the wedding package to the actual day everything was easy and effortless. We cannot thank the staff enough, all of them were amazing, friendly, smiling and went above and beyond, the bar staff in the evening worked their socks off and then told us how much they had enjoyed working at our reception. The rooms we stayed in were gorgeous, and we were supported every step of the way throughout the day. It was perfect - Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make our special day so amazing. Beautiful venue, Amazing staff, Perfect day
My friend got married here on NYE, the food in the restaurant and during the wedding celebration were delicious. The wedding coordinator, Sharon, was amazing, nothing was too much trouble and she was calm and composed throughout her 13 hour shift! The house was perfect for a pre wedding stay, especially the hot tub. The hotel rooms were spacious but needed a little TLC. Firework display at midnight was fantastic!
I married my wife here in 2007, my wife and I have been quite a few times. The wild boar restaurant, as it used to be, in my opinion was a fine dining experience. Since COVID however, they have moved and combined the restaurant to the bar. The food now still has the fine dining menu, mixed with the pub favourites. This is ok but is no longer the fine dining experience sitting cramped in the bar area with the bar style atmosphere. The food and the service is still 5 stars.
We got married here on 6th February and we had so many compliments about the venue, the food and the rooms! Karen was our pre-wedding co-ordinator and I can't thank her enough for everything she did in the run up to the day, she made sure everything was handled which kept me calm and confident that everything was sorted from so early on in the planning process. Sharon was our co-ordinator on the day and she was also fantastic, she greeted us out of our wedding car with a brolly and walked us to reception, I thought this was so lovely given the bad weather! The only minor thing was the Honeymoon Suite we were booked into had a leak and we were unable to stay there which we were informed of as soon as we arrived, but we were instead given a four-poster room, and had we not know about the Honeymoon Suite we would have thought this was it! It was so spacious and lovely, and the bed was so comfy! Every thing went well throughout the wedding, the dinner service was smooth, everything was well organised, the evening buffet went down a treat. We were also the first wedding in the newly refurbished Banquet Suite and it looked so fresh and airy and went really well with our colour scheme!! The bar staff were fantastic, as were the waiters and waitresses and we can't thank everyone involved in making our day so special enough! We would 100% recommend to anyone.
As a local, I can honestly say this pub just keeps getting better. The atmosphere is always spot on — warm, welcoming, and exactly what you want from your go-to place. The staff make a massive difference too. Lewis and James are absolute stars: friendly, quick on service, and always up for a bit of chat without ever overdoing it. They make you feel like a regular even if it’s your first time through the door. The drinks are well kept, the food is consistently great, and the whole place feels properly looked after. Couldn’t recommend it more. Easily a five-star spot and the best pub in the area. James and Lewis took read good care of us and that’s why I keep coming in, the atmosphere is fantastic
The service by the bar team was attentive, and relaxing.A warm welcome by all on shift. The food was outstanding would recommend the teabags all day long. Everything was cooked from fresh. We booked a nights stay with dinner, but ordered off the main menu at slight supplement. The room was very clean and lovely. The only criticism is that the heating was too high. Would come here again and would definitely recommend it
We had our wedding at the Sitwell Arms in the Sitwell Suite on the 29th December and we couldn't have wished for a better Day! The venue was beautiful, the atmosphere was lovely and the staff were amazing! Our pre-wedding co-ordinator Karen was friendly, attentive and responsive, leaving the planning stress free and our on the day co-ordinator Sharon was so helpful, caring and supportive keeping everything going in the background and keeping me updated/checking in with me throughout the day. Not forgetting Steve our DJ who was certainly kept busy by the groom's family but kept everyone entertained and dancing throughout the night! Overall all the team worked so hard to make sure the day went smoothly and without problems. Thank you again to all the team for a wonderful day
