The Carpenters Arms - West Dorset

Booked for Sunday lunch with family. When I booked I asked for raw carrots for a member of the party. Unfortunately they bought out cooked carrots and didn’t have any raw carrots

The Carpenters Arms has largely improved since the new manager has taken over. Probably the best pub food that I have had in Sherborne the chef clearly takes pride in his work, not to mention the value for money! Was incredibly surprised when expecting mediocre pub food wish I had taken photos but it won't be long before we visit again. The improved decor throughout is much more welcoming and homely, with finishing touches such as blankets for the beer garden. We are looking forward to our next visit!

Unfortunately the food was not great this time! First time we had it delivered it was nice , this time I ended up throwing most of it away. The standard of food was not great!

Went for dinner last night. Fantastic food and great service. Sat outside for gin and tonics. The staff were brilliant. Strongly recommend that you visit!

Great food and very attentive service once we had sat down at the table. We were not acknowledged straight away as others were being served and the one bar staff was taking their time. We interrupted the staff member to say we had booked a table, at that point service quickened.
