Sometimes, there’s nothing better than enjoying time with loved ones in a country pub. After going on a dog walk, a busy day out sightseeing or catching up with family, a pub is the perfect setting for relaxing with a few drinks and a hearty meal.

With a lovely beer garden and a cosy inside restaurant, it’s perfect whether you’re chilling in the sun or wanting to get warm up after a winter walk.

Here’s what you can expect at The Bakers Arms.
