Lovely traditional English pub. Warm friendly atmosphere. Service was very good. Good choice of menu and is very varied so it would be hard not to find something you liked. The food was good and the portions very generous. Would definitely go again.

Can't fault this place for well cooked pub grub and very tasty
The chips are stunning and prices are very reasonable only managed 1 course due to huge portions
Well worth a visit

We love it. Lots of pubs offer food, lots of pubs offer a pretty decor, lots of pubs promise helpful and nice staff. Aside from the lumpy seats I always seem to find, tis perfect in every way! The funny little signs all over gave my eyes something to do whilst waiting but honestly, best pub food and nicest staff have come across in years. We travel a reasonable distance to eat here and we'll be back again sometime soon. And I love the random inoffensive conversation with the locals. Little pubs can be quite clique-y, in this you are made welcome by everyone. Tis just a really pleasant place to

I visited the Bottomleys Arms Shelf last week and have to say I was very disappointed and will never visit again.
This restaurant is in need of a total refurbishment. The carpets, upholstery and décor are much worn and dirty and many flies buzzing around. Also the table was sticky to touch and still had crumbs from the last customers. Even though the restaurant was very quiet I had to wait a long time for the food to be served, however the drinks came very quickly.
The food was very poor.
Pate with warm toast & salad for starters: Salad fit for the compost only (old, wilted and smelt like it
