Excellent pub. Food is absolutely delicious, no matter what you have from the menu. Extremely friendly staff and nothing is too much trouble. I would recommend The Alma to anyone..
Lovely pub, friendly atmosphere and great food at a good price. So glad we found this little gem and can't wait to go back. Child and dog friendly. I had a fish finger bagutte and beer battered onion rings, it was so good. My husband had 3 meals for £12 and left stuffed and happy.
My son and I called in for early evening meal. We both had steak and kidney pud, it was the best we had had in a long time, very friendly staff. Defo recommend 👌 dog friendly. Will go again.
Went for a mid week lunch and it was so good I’ve had to write a review! We had burgers and they were the best burgers we’d had in a long time! Definitely going back :)
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to the chef & staff at The Alma!!
We’ve just had a superb “sharing roast board” for 2 and it was delicious.
Our waiter was also very attentive with our drinks.
We will be returning for sure :)
I'm a local that doesn't go to pubs all to ofter but every time I eat or stop in for a drink, no matter what day of the week, I'm always happy with the result!
Always good food and friendly staff but today's roast..... Omg!!! To say I'm in a food coma would be an understatement!!
The sharer platter for 4 is well worthy of a gold star in my opinion. There's loads to go around.
Get yourself in! You will not be disappointed!

Lovely place, staff were excellent. Food was delicious. Portions were generous. Would definitely come back again and thoroughly recommend -well behaved and pleasant people - give this pub a visit.
First time here and wasn't dissapointed! The food was amazing!! I had the lamb shish kebabs and it was delicious 😋 the burger and fish and chips equally as good! Will definitely come back as there were many dishes that I wanted to try!
Stopped in a few times for dinner with the wife on the way home.
Friendly service.
Food is great honest food (bear in mind it's pub food people, not Gordan Ramseys 5 star restaurant).
Large portions. Tasty. What more can you want?
Nice quiet location. Dogs welcome too which always makes me smile. Benches/table out the front and in the rear garden if you like to be outside for food during summer .
Great pub with nice food and good service. Can get really busy at times, which makes parking a tad bit of a pain - especially as they have a marquee set up in the car park which limits space a little more. There is usually space to park out on the road.
There is a pleasant outside area if warm, but also some good space to sit and eat / drink inside. On our most recent visit we managed to get in before the evening rush and managed to sit in the sun, have a drink and ordered some small plates / tapas to share. We wasn't disappointed, the food was very tasty, we were pleased that we took the decision to visit!
What a lovely inn. good beers , great food and lovely staff.
if you in the area, then the Alma is the place to go. top marks.
This visit was just 2 oldies R and I for Thursday lunch. It was almost empty even on a nicd sunny day. Service was very good as was the food which came in good time. The food was a bit pricey. Menu is availabke on line with no specials on offer.
