Thank you for your interest in The Lancaster Arms. The combination of reopening challenges, changing covid guidance, a family emergency and greatly appreciated bookings are in danger of overwhelming our little enterprise.
Accordingly, we have found it necessary to turn our phone off and all booking will now be done by email or social media messaging where we will deal with them in the order they are received.
All updates will be on social media for the time being.
Please note, subject to the odd cancellation we are now fully booked for w/e 16/17 April.
Any booking enquiries related to the following week will be replied to after this w/e. We appreciate you may wish to look elsewhere and we’re very sorry not to be able to reply sooner.
Reminder – our food is just our tapas style Terrace treats menu (link below)

OUR STORY
The battle between Richard III and his challenger and victor – Henry Tudor, was one of the most important in English history, effectively ending the Wars of the Roses. It also heralded the end of the Middle Ages and began the Tudor period.
Richard III, buried in Leicester Cathedral, is the only English royal buried outside of Westminster or Windsor. Historians now believe Richard III rested his army at the bottom of the hill we sit on the foothills of. Our name, The Lancaster Arms and the new brand with Richard’s boar, honours both sides. In that same spirit of friendship, we look forward to seeing you and to quote once more William Shakespeare:
Let us ‘drink to the joy of the whole table’
COFFEE.BEER.
WINE.GIN.
There is a fine choice of draught beer, cider & lager with regular guest ales.
The Lancaster Arms international wine list has been created to compliment our menu. Our fine wine list is competitively priced encouraging guests to explore the glories of fine food & wine pairings.
Did we mention we have a great gin bar where guests can watch their glasses being frosted.
We also have great tea.

“Practically Perfect..”
*****
“Wonderful”
Not only were the management and staff incredibly welcoming but the atmosphere was superb. A real homely yet pub like feeling, the perfect blend. The food that accompanied this was delicious, I’d go back just to try everything.
We will definitely return with empty bellies to fill!!
*****
“Everything was cooked perfectly”
The roasts also came with Yorkshire puddings, roasted garlic & stuffing. Everything was cooked perfectly and super tasty.
The service was just right- really friendly and helpful without being intrusive.”
