The Howard Arms

The Howard Arms is our local pub, luckily only a walk away from home. We often eat there and regularly go to the monthly quiz’s, which we thoroughly enjoy. Thought it was about time I did a review … On this occasion, we went as a table of 4 for an evening meal on a Fri and booked in advance (online) as it is a very popular place. The pub was very busy and we had a nice table by the window, but sometimes the table layouts feel a little cramped, like you’re sitting on top of each other. It was a hot day outside so thankfully the 2 roaring fires weren’t on, as it can often get too hot. Really friendly staff and a great selection of things to eat, even for my vegetarian Mam. Food arrived and the presentation was excellent. I love the new plates! We all thoroughly enjoyed everything about our meals, each ordering something different. I adore the truffle & Parmesan fries or huge onion rings as a side. No room for a pud this time but we highly recommend the starters. Drinks are rather expensive (to my husbands dismay), but we absolutely love this place and always enjoy our visits here. Super selection of food on the breakfast & lunch menus too

Went for an evening meal. Great service from friendly attentive staff. Thete was a good variety on the menu and the food was delicious! We had the rump of lamb and the Beef Bourginon. Both very well presented and definitely better than your average pub grub!!

We called for lunch on our way to holiday in the Scottish Borders. The place was busy but the waiter found us a table, soon took our order and we didn’t have to wait too long for it to arrive. The food was very nice, staff were friendly, helpful and polite, we can’t fault it!

Fabulous Pub and Hotel in Brampton. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, very welcoming and comfortable and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend and would stay again without hesitation. Great location for nearby walks too and a good taxi service based in the village.

Have stayed here before but stopped off for coffee and lunch on the way back from the lakes. I can honestly say it was the best Sunday lunch we have eaten in a pub for a long time. Flavoursome, fresh and cooked with skill and care. The service was excellent very polite and attentive. Would recommend the Howard arms and we will be back.

Staff couldn’t be more helpful. Excellent food - had fish and chips and grilled salmon. Garlic mushrooms to start were fabulous. Comfy newly furnished room with everything you needed. Highly recommend as a place to stay or stop by for dinner.
