“ First time eating here tonight, Family of four. May 2025. Food was all delicious. Plenty of Gluten free options for my wife and daughter who are both coeliac. Waitress and both barmen all super friendly and helpful! We sat in one of the outdoor pods which was really lovely and private. Will be going back again for food very soon. Thanks, Ian ”
“ Another wonderful evening at the Meynell! I have a friend visiting from Singapore and knew she would appreciate the taste of tradition that the team does so well. She’s already requested we return during her next trip back to England! As always, the food was excellent and the staff always go above and beyond. ”
“ Loved this place. My husband and I went for lunch and the food was amazing, great quality produce and presented beautifully. We will definitely be visiting you again. There was a huge car park and more than one outdoor area for when the weather is fine and dry. We had the 3 course lunch deal for 24 absolute bargain! Thank you ”
“ The Maynell Ingram Arms is a great place to grab a superb meal. The quality menu is backed up by excellent service. There is easy parking and the food is well prepared and cooked to excellent standards. Everything I observed leaving the kitchen was of a high standard. Highly recommend a visit. ”
“ Such great service! Even though we were sat in a garden pod on a random Tuesday, no one forgot us. Food was exactly what we wanted - great, burger, muscles were delicious. Thank you - we had a really great experience and will definitely come back again. ”

“ Lovely quaint pub we booked before our spa trip. Nice surroundings, food lovely and staff very pleasant. A gem of a place and I will return ”
“ I have previously driven past the Meynell Ingram country pub and thought it looked a nice place. I was wrong... it's an absolutely fantastic establishment offering bar, informal dining, restaurant and outside tables. Something for everyone! We last-minute booked a table for an impromptu date night and secured the final booking of 8:45pm (apologies to the kitchen!). Maddie, our server, was a delight and her knowledge of the menu a real plus point. Despite the time, we were not rushed and the food was exceptional - I'm sure as good as the first meal prepared during a long service. If like me you have considered visiting, please don't hesitate in booking or just stopping-by. If it's an informal meet-up, freshly-cooked pizzas can be enjoyed in the external courtyard and will most definitely be sampled during our next call. Highly recommended! ”
