Calleva Arms

Great food with a good selection of beers including decent non-alcoholic beers. Dog friendly. Good idea to book ahead as it gets very busy on weekend lunchtimes. It can take a while for your food to come because it's so busy, but it's really worth the wait.

Came for dinner for 2, food was average the nachos were ok, out of a packet not home made which is not what I expect for a £9 starter or almost double for a main. The chicken burgers were deep fried to death, which removed any of their southern flavouring and made them very dry. Have been previously and it was excellent, maybe there has been a staff change but it’s no longer worth the premium prices they are charging.

Visited one lunchtime while in the area with a friend, nice pub, had the vegetarian burger which was lovely, well presented and tasted amazing, the chips were well cooked although a couple of them were cold, maybe they had already been cooked and we're not thrown back in the fryer. Apart from that it was lovely, if I went back I would sit closer to the open fire as on a cold day it is chilly.

Came for a Friday night dinner, both ordered from the specials board, great choices! Sticky Beef was definitely a winner, best meal out in a long time, highly recommend! Staff all very friendly and professional! 5 star experience!

Emailed to book for Sun. Lunch @ 13:15 but no callback. Rang on Sun. & got table for 2 at 13:45. Food is OK, came hot & tasty, bit slow to arrive; drinks arrived at the bar & I collected them myself without being notified, after they had sat there for 5 mins. Pleasant pub & village, busy I side & out, a nothing special pub...

A cold Thursday lunch time. Pretty quiet. Well kept beer. Waited a long time for food - because, we were told, others had priority. When the food came it was very good - the mushroom risotto got rave reviews from a semi-committed vegetarian. On the basis of beer and food, this should get five stars. BUT the windows were being actively painted inside and the smell of paint was everywhere - is that OK under health and safety rules ? The grumpy bar staff did not improve the feeling of being unwelcome. Ah well. We had a great exploration of the surrounding area - the medieval fish ponds and Elizabethan Manor are even more interesting than Calleva Atrebatum !

We had an amazing meal at the Calleva on New Year's Day. There were 16 of us and we were all happy with our food. The roast beef was fantastic. I couldn't eat it all.

Lovely Sunday roast. Very generous portions and beautifully cooked food. Along with super efficient friendly service it made a fabulous family lunch out.

First time I have visited under the new management. Food was excellent. Interesting variation from the usual pub food, with very good specials. Not the cheapest, but will be going back and happy to recommend.

Good atmosphere in a busy pub. Beer was up to scratch but we didn't have time to stop for food.
