This visit, was my first to The Onslow Arms, and the food was awesome! I don’t use that word very often but it was really good. My husband and son had the burger. I was surprised my husband liked it as he has very high standards but he was very impressed.
I find it hard to get food that I like and I had two starters, chicken satay and goat cheese and beetroot salad, which were large and extremely tasty. My favourite was the chicken but the combination was great, and I’m glad I had a variety. Some of the starters are listed with a choice as a main, so make sure you don’t miss them as they are not listed under the mains. I can’t remember if the fish was cod or something else but it looked great and apparently was also great, and I’m tempted to try it next time.
The puddings were also delicious. Fruit crumble, lemon posset, and I had fresh seasonal fruit with peach sorbet, which had a good variety of fruits and the sorbet was delicious and a respectable quality. (I have a pet hate/annoyance of ice cream / sorbet “scoops” being more like “scrapes” but this scoop lived up to its name) I’m already looking forward to going again. Car parking was very generous but the entrance is hard to see, if you are new here. We went on a Saturday lunch time, and the restaurant looked full.
Travelled to the area for work last weekend, just from the website this pub looked inviting so we decided to stop here for a late lunch! Staff were really friendly and helpful. Great selection of drinks and wide variety of food. The food had that extra attention to detail which sets this pub apart from others, while using local ingredients to enhance their dishes. The fish and chips had the addition of Samphire in the batter, elevating the taste, best I've had in a long time! Others on the table thoroughly enjoyed the special fishcakes and the burger with plum chutney and blue cheese. Beer garden had plenty of seating, there is also ample inside too. This pub had such a lovely feel to it, whether a local or just passing through like me, it's well worth a visit! Loved it!
Popped in for a bite to eat at lunch and it was quite busy for midweek, their large car park two thirds full. Nevertheless got seated easily and food arrived promptly. Food was hot and very tasty, service is professional will definitely go back with little dog who enjoyed som chicken schnitzel!!
