College Arms

I'm just wondering if anyone has been for a meal at the re-opened College Arms? I'm thinking of booking a table for a family gathering but have not heard any feed-back since it has re-opened.[?]

mmmm...ive heard nothing either.....very low key launch it seems. Quite strange in these economic times not to be shouting from the hilltops. Ruby certainly know how to get everyones attention.

Err, there were at least 2 posts on here about it, one confirming it had opened, and another saying that it was good.

i happened to pass last night actually, there were quite a few cars in the car park, but didnt look that busy inside - but wouldnt expect it to be on a Tues! I did notice a lot of the cars seemed pretty fancy - huge mercs etc. I guess they're still going for the upmarket style?

I haven't had the chance to try here yet but I will as it is owned and managed by the same people who own Brookmans at Brookmans Park. This has always had a nice atmosphere and a good menu with the food and drink being of a high standard. Will report back soon

I’m such a pessimist but always strikes me as slightly questionable when a person that has never used the forum before logs in to create 1 post as a review about how good somewhere is that sound vaguely like an advert. *runs off to book now since it was packed last Sunday and that person only just got a seat when they called Wednesday!* Likely I'm just being a miserable old git so I look forward to your future posts Daisymay and welcome. Chances are the owners / management do look here and I always like a place where they stand up to be counted. Anyone else been here recently? I haven’t been since it was the old College Arms and it was nice back then although service did tail off towards the latter few time I went.

I only live down the road from the place, and it does generally seem to be busy the majority of the time. We have been in for meals 5 times now and all have been great, so I would still recommend.

Our archery club had the annual dinner there a couple of weekends ago. There were many of us, with varied demands for food (they handled a variety of steak orders well, and kept our table well stocked with wine). The food was very good and pint of beer I had before dinner was well kept. I heard some complaints about the price of soft drinks, but can't comment personally since I didn't have any! I'd happily go back again.

But then the staff would make a special effort if you're the owner/manager/hired goon.
