The Strathmore Arms

Had chips here with my parents and children late July 2020; the manager was not keen to take our order, and the portions were miserly.

One of our favourites to eat. Literally done the whole menu and we wished the soup of the day was minestrone every time as it is the best.

Lovely food, excellent service, great location. Son's birthday lunch, he loved his fish and chips and my steak was cooked perfectly very impressed. Thank you Speisekarte ansehen

Difficult, staff under pressure, lacked the personnel touch staff techy and abrupt. Food Ok but nothing special at all. Food Just Warm plates cold. Not best quality ingrediants. Bit like a Wetherspoons but more expensive.

Better food than before! We have been to the raven many times in the past and had always been impressed by the portion size and the value but not necessarily the quality. Today we popped in for lunch and had delicious prawn cocktail followed by truly excellent wraps. The quality was a big improvement and the portion sizes were quite adequate. Overall a big Covid thumbs up!

My family and I visited The Raven for a family gathering, on Saturday afternoon. The staff was attentive, obliging and helpful. The food and drinks were served promptly. Portions are large and absolutely delicious, very good value for money! There's a nice spacious beer garden, if the weather allows. Great place, I would highly recommend it. Great experience, will definitely be back : Speisekarte ansehen

The Raven is a lovely county pub, however, unfortunately the service is rather poor, we waited for over an hour for our food, and although it was really tasty the option from the specials board that I and another in our party selected was so tiny that I felt perhaps they had run out of that dish and had divided it into two portions ! If this isn't the case then perhaps they could review the portion size ? Risotto

Lovely meal brilliant bar staff and waitress sorry the same can not be said for the manager.On arrival we ordered drinks and it was put on our table number and we went in to the garden for drinks. When we went into restaurant our table had been taken and we questioned why the manager said that it had been doubled booked and there was no apology dispite the staff agreeing that the table had been allocated to us on arrival. We found the manager very unhelpful and rude, such a shame as we will be considering weather to return in the future.

Lunch with another couple ended with two of us being ill with food poisoning. The two of us who contracted food poisoning both chose Steak with stilton salad. Within 24 hours we were very ill with in my case repeated vomiting and violent stomach cramps for 8 hours and my wife's friends husband being ill for a further 12 hours. Will never go back to the Raven and only a cursory email apology from the manager when I complained. I'm not sure what form of food poisoning this was because neither of us sought medical assistance and managed to brave it out at home. It was very unpleasant and I hope no one else was similarly affected. The date of our meal was 2nd August 2024. Speisekarte ansehen
