We've been going to the Williams arms for 23 years now. Lovely place, the best carvery I've ever had. It is the benchmark for all caverys and has not been beaten once in the 23 years!Always go there when we are in the area. John and his staff are always helpful and friendly. There's plenty of parking, too. Did I say it's the best carvey I've ever had?

I've visited The Williams Arms a few times over the years for the carvery which has always been brilliant. However I was let down by the service and quality this evening. It was supposed to be a special evening out but ended up with my mother close to tears and leaving on an empty stomach. On top of this, the pork was dry and chewy from the carvery which is a shame as I can see this is their main profit maker.Manager didn't offer an apology for the service and I can't say we'll be going there again.

Usually I have the chicken tarragon which is sublime but thought I'd try the carvery today. Can't say I was impressed, the potatoes were soggy as were the parsnips, the carrots were too hard, the meat was nice, couldn't have certain bits as they weren't gluten free, had to have veg gravy which was disappointing. Wouldn't have another carvery will go back to the chicken tarragon.

Always and I mean always visit here if I'm in Barnstaple visiting my son....the Carvery is quite possibly the best I've tried anywhere. Food is incredible, staff....not so, but that's not why I go. Rude man on the phone, didn't give his name, simple enquiry, can I book a table ? ...I apologise for being an inconvenience !! He was In too much of a rush to be anywhere else exept on the phone. Rocked up on the off chance of there being a table, thought it would be busier being Mothers day...got a table, got the carvery, eat the carvery and buggered off....will I go again ? Yep, for the food, although I hear there's another fabulous carvery at The Pack o cards...but I consider that a further drive ....who knows, see you at Easter for another try, hopefully the staff may smile, say please and thankyou. Just a gentle side note...no customers equals no wage. Toodaloo.
