The Tempest Arms - Craven

We have not been to the Tempest Arms since before it was refurbished, as our last meal there was not enjoyable. Unfortunately, things have not improved. The atmosphere of the place is nice, with a cozy country pub feel and a welcoming log fire. However, the food was very disappointing. The starters were basic and unappealing, with the chicken pate looking like it had just been taken out of its packaging and the crab crostini lacking in flavor. The main dishes were a mix of good and bad, with the rump steak being cooked well but the steak salad being inedible and lacking in flavor. The restaurant will need to improve its food in order to attract repeat customers. The place was fairly empty and the cocktails were not well-made. Unfortunately, we will not be returning unless there are changes made to the menu and chef.

The food is delicious and the location is fantastic. I have already made a reservation to return next month. It's a wonderful spot to gather with friends and family.

The restaurant has an excellent standard of decor and is impeccably clean. It is also very welcoming to dogs. The staff are extremely friendly, helpful, and professional. One of them recommended a fantastic beer for me and a lovely wine for my wife. The menu is diverse and everything looked delicious. When the food arrived, it not only looked better than we expected but was also delicious and satisfying. We are genuinely excited to come back.

Our first stay at The Tempest Arms. Such a great place! it really did tick all the boxes, and had everything that we would look for in a hotel. Our twin suite was really lovely. Beautifully decorated lovely and clean. Restaurant food is of a high standard. Every member of staff that we met went over above to make us feel welcome and well looked after. Will definately be staying again!

Our first visit to this pub which has obviously had a recent refurb I imagine any old character has now been replaced with a more corporate modern look which is pleasant but not interesting. The staff greeted us warmly and were friendly. My wife had 2 fish starters which she really enjoyed. I ordered the fish and chips which was okay but the fish looked like it had been on a diet and hadn't been rested so it was sitting in grease. The local bitter was superb and the service was very good. £45 for the two of with drinks was value for the price paid. We will visit again
