    The good: The exterior of this ancient pub is a delight and…read moreif it is a nice day sitting at the front is to be desired. The just ok; The interior is obviously in keeping with the age of the pub (and rightly so) but looks a little drab and when we visited during the day the interior was pitch dark and very uninviting as a result (I know it's day time but put some lights on maybe?). It was a hot May day and there was a roaring log fire which was another turn off (but a great feature in winter no doubt) The bad: I had a very hotly anticipated pint of TEA. I used to live in the area so know this tipple well. It was a very poor pint which had a sour undertaste. Perhaps the pipes weren't cleaned or something. Anyway, I can't damn all their beers from this single pint and sometimes a bad pint is how it goes, but I wasn't left terribly impressed.

    My boyfriend took me for dinner here one night not so long ago…read more It is the most perfectly charming country pub. Dark, candle lit, atmospheric, romantic, and just...perfect. They have a fabulous wine list, with super chilled wine (this is so so important, and so many restaurants get this wrong!), and beautiful, hearty portions of food. I had the sea bass - would recommend! mmmmm. In summer I can imagine that sitting out in the large beer garden would be just a delight. in fact, i am going to ensure that i do that one afternoon/evening in the summer next year. I loved this place so much, and often find myself thinking about it. Definitely my favourite date night, ever.

    Food was delicious - great portion sizes! The kids meals options are mini versions of the adult…read moremeals - which I think is amazing. The menu is meat centric and has lots of South African flavored options but there are vegetarian choices. Service is really good and the beer is cold and refreshing. The dessert menu is a MUST read - with over 10 options of ever increasing yummiest (so save room!). The restaurant is split between dinner tables and traditional pub tables so you could "just" pop in for a drink (but with the quality of food on offer - why would you lol). The outside area has a kids playground and plenty of tables for when the sun shines.

We arrived with our dog and although they don't allow her in the actual restaurant, we were able to sit in the bar area and order food from there. It was a very busy day, yet the bar staff served us quickly and even had the chance for a friendly chat with us. We ordered biltong (dry-cured meat) and boerewors (a type of sausage) as starters and then I had the minced Rump burger, whereas my other half ordered the chicken roulade. All of the items were quite tasty and I do applaud the management on that. Nevertheless, I didn't really like the atmosphere at the Percy Arms. To me, it was really too "done up" - it didn't feel real in there...I didn't feel comfortable. The pub looks quite old from the outside, but the inside doesn't reflect this at all.
