the carpenters arms

Had cause to be in Fangfoss for a couple of nights and visited the carpenters arms 2 nights. First night in time for a quiet pint having travelled all day. Very hospitable landlady who I suspect brooks no crapulance. I made enquiries about food for the second night and had been advised get there early which I did. Sat in the snug, alone and had the special, Southern fried chicken fillets with wedges sauce and salad. Freshly prepared and very well cooked. A mixture of bought in brakes type food and some home made fayre which I suspect would be very good. Overall a good local pub, hints of Royston Vasey but if you're a visitor be polite and you'll be OK! Personally I would always prefer this type of pub than the indifferent service and food often found in a chain pub but each to their own.

First time I have ever been here, popped in after a walk for sunday dinner. Spoke to a lady behind the bar, asked if they were serving food, and was told yes. Said I was sitting outside as I had my dogs with me. The land lady then said,"we arnt serving food outside." Asked if i could order inside and take it outside myself so we could eat, was told,"no". Very unfriendly land lady. We drove down the road to another pub where we were made to feel very welcome.
