Chosen to complement our visit to the Spring Festival and a birthday treat. Our experience totally matched all the positive reviews for The Charlton Arms! Most enjoyable meal of which the highlight was the cheese soufflés which were an absolute delight and a real treat - different cheese combinations- absolutely delicious! Great service- attentive but balanced, not over the top - great! Ambience good too Highly recommend
