Had a great Sunday lunch at The Drapers Arms recently. The food selections is nice as you have options other than the traditional roast. Saying that, my roast beef with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and veg was fantastic. The service was warm and friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely go back again.

We’ve been searching for a good Sunday roast for ages, finally found it here! We started with the baked camembert and ham hock, both packed with flavour and perfect for sharing. For mains, we had the lemon sole and the rare roast 48-day aged sirloin, absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. To top it all off, the pistachio cake was a beautiful finish — rich, nutty, and satisfying. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed, and the service was spot on. We had such a lovely time. Can’t wait to come back!
