Parking a little tight but loads of side roads if required. Very accessible and accomodating staff. Worth a look if passing, right next to the park also if on foot.

The staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful. We were accommodated at short notice having been let down by another venue. Having ordered in advance the meal appeared when we had all arrived without any fuss or bother.
I couldn't fault my lamb shank : I would certainly have struggled to cook it as well as this. The rest of us seemed to enjoy what was delivered so no concerns here.
The cost of drinks at the bar surprised me as I paid far less than I have recently in similar venues. Service at the bar and of the meals was very efficient.
Although making little difference to the flavour, the presentation of the puddings let them down. My profiteroles were pleasant to eat but were poorly presented as were some of the other puddings. A little attention to presentation and the use of suitable dishes in which to serve the puddings would go a long way. Similarly, there is no shame in serving frozen vegetables but care should be taken to ensure they are properly cooked otherwise the game is up. Green beans for one do not freeze well and need a good deal of cooking out of the freezer to taste good. Mine were hot enough but weren't convincing.
You would be hard pressed to come away dissatisfied if what we were served is typical of the Open Arms but a attention to a few details could elevate the experience further.

Went there mid week, sometimes a slightly long wait at the bar but good selection of drinks, comfortable and clean atmosphere and fantastic Guinness

Late hours (not sure how they manage it?) are the eponymous advantage of this venue. The youthful staff team are bright and efficient. Was too late to eat but the menu looked to have a wider offer than most. A couple of decent ales on pump were well kept and my partner advised both ciders were also good. My car was pranged in the car park and staff - who notified me about it, and called me the following day once cctv footage had been reviewed, were exceptionally helpful. Beyond the call of duty.

Fast & excellent service on busiest day of summer!
Decided to walk to the Open Arms to eat. Getting close, I could hear music and remembered that the Godiva Festival was on in a park nearby. The pub was buzzing! However, extra staff were still serving all the real ales & I was in time to order food. My fish and chips arrived very promptly and up to the usual Ember Inns quality.
