The perfect example of 'not to judge a book by its cover'. We were recently on a getaway in Haldham and we visited the Watts Arms when we needed a place to dine. When we arrived outside at first we were a little put off, it didn't look the most inviting and I almost got back in the car and left but I'm glad that we didn't. The gent behind the bar was really friendly and pleasant to talk to, the service was really good and the food was excellent. We were so happy with the food, I bought the cheese burger and my partner bought the stake and ale pie. The burger was big and heavy, very filling and cooked beautifully. The stake and ale pie was very flavoursome, the meat was well cooked and the pie crust was great. The chips were very home made and tasty. We then ordered food to takeaway the next day and bought the same thing again. A hidden gem and well worth the visit. A lovely place to eat and drink at, although I do think they could do with some redecor, it's not necessary but it's the only thing I would say would make it an even better experience.
Arrived early so enjoyed a couple of drinks outside in the sunshine. We were seated straight away and because we'd both pre ordered our food it arrived with 5 minutes. We were both so hungry the portion size didn't dissapoint, we both had meat pie, chips and garden peas with an extra gravy boat (didn't need the extra gravy as there was plenty inside). Our food was absolutely delicious, the pastry was light and crispy, the steak filling was tender, lean and tasty and proper home made chips. All rinsed down with a beer and a glass of wine or 3 🤣😋. Nice surroundings and busy, so booking essential, lovely fresh flowers on the tables which I thought was a really nice touch, I personally love flowers 💐 Highly recommend, we'll definitely be back soon 👍
Behind an unassuming frontage lies a welcoming pub who serve honest home-cooked food and the portions are huge! Stopped in my tracks by delicious sweet and sour chicken whilst my family had a similar experience with their meals! Great value and fast, kind wait staff. Wish I knew about this place at the start of my holiday in the local area, we'd have been back loads!
Been here tonight with family and food was top notch. Huge portions and value for money. Kids loved it.
The portions are unreal. The steak pie was massive. 4 of us went, and i wished I'd taken a pic of the other meals! The mini mixed is huge and on an oval plate. 4 people with a drink each £60
