Wow, where do I start!?
This was my visit to the Cleveland Arms and most definitely not my last.
The staff were all super friendly and even had a chat. The manager Jas couldn't do enough for us, and I noticed he was the same with other customers too. You could see how great the relationship was with a manager and his team. You don't see that very much these days, so it was pleasant to witness.
I loved how the flowers in the vases were all fresh, don't see that very often.
And the food.....I dont want to spoil it for anyone, but I never order Chicken Kiev when I eat out. However, you really must try this, and you won't be disappointed. We even managed a dessert, and the apple and blackberry crumble with custard, so Kudos to the chef, who I believe was called Julia.
I absolutely can't wait to visit again because I am desperate to try out the roast dinner 😋
Thank you all for the excellent service 😀
This is everything a modern community pub should be. An eclectic mix of youngsters out for a drink, old boys out for a natter, families coming for dinner and couples spending quality time together. Downstairs dining area provides a quieter space for dining. The bar upstairs was very packed when we arrived, which made it time-consuming ordering a drink to consume.
Food excellent! Atmosphere like you’d expect in a good ole English pub. Service was good but taking off two stars because a 17% service charge was automatically added. We didn’t notice until we had left the pub. So, word to the wise — order at the bar even if the staff offer to “take care of everything “ here. Seems like more and more we see service charges being added in areas of the world where tipping is not part of the culture. Idk
Sunday Pork Roast at The Cleveland Arms – A Perfect Weekend Treat
If you’re looking for a proper Sunday roast in a cozy, welcoming spot, The Cleveland Arms absolutely delivers. The pork roast is the star of the show – tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The crackling is perfectly crisp, just the way it should be, and the portion sizes are generous without being over the top.
The roast comes with all the classic trimmings: crispy roast potatoes, seasonal veg, and a Yorkshire pudding that’s light and golden. The gravy ties it all together beautifully – rich, savory, and clearly made from scratch.
What really elevates the experience, though, is the atmosphere. The Cleveland Arms strikes that perfect balance between relaxed and refined. It’s got that warm, local pub vibe with friendly staff and a buzz of conversation in the air. Whether you’re there with friends or just soaking up a quiet Sunday, it feels like the kind of place you’ll want to come back to.
Highly recommend booking ahead – once you’ve had their roast, you’ll understand why it’s a local favorite.
Absolutely fantastic! Loved the atmosphere-a friendly & packed neighborhood pub where people bring their dogs. We ate downstairs and the 3 of us all had the chicken Kiev and it was piping hot and fantastic. Loved watching the kitchen - what a well oiled and efficient staff - so impressed. I never take pictures of my food - but I did that night - A+++
