‘The Richmond Arms is still very much a pub’ is the only bit of truth left in the comment or review now. The Richmond Arms has transformed into something of a hidden gem. Well worth a visit, though it is out of the way, so is a destination pub rather than a part of a pub crawl. Slightly off the beaten track, essentially a house converted to a pub, the Richmond Arms is rapidly gaining a reputation for its excellent food. I don't normally have much time for your gastro type pub but the Richmond retains enough of the character of a pub to make it work. The staff are always very friendly and know what they are doing. The food is superb, the menus are imaginative and drawn up every week, the food is lovingly prepared and expertly cooked. Great place to take friends for a meal and the Sunday lunch is the best I have had. The real ale is decent and well kept. My only criticism is a lack of a decent quality traditional cider. It is fair to say it is more of an eating than a drinking pub. It is definitely worth a visit.
