🍽️ The Carpenters Arms Menu – Hearty, Homemade & Hugely Satisfying

Whether you're after a comforting classic, a sizzling plate of flavour, or something light and fresh — our menu at The Carpenters Arms has something to tickle every tastebud.

🥣 Starters to Get You Going

Start your meal right with our Homemade Soup of the Day, served piping hot with crusty bread and butter — proper comfort food. Fancy something crispy? Tuck into our Breaded Mushrooms or Southern Fried Chicken Goujons, both served with a fresh salad garnish and a tasty dip of your choice. For something a little more indulgent, the Tempura Prawns are golden, light, and served with flair. Or go big from the get-go with our legendary Combi For Two — a sharing platter of pub favourites.

🥔 Jacket Potatoes — Warm, Filling, & Flavourful

Baked to perfection and served with salad, our jacket spuds are the ultimate lunch staple. Choose from hearty toppings like Chilli Con Carne, Cheddar Cheese, or Tuna Mayo, and go wild with extra fillings for just £1.25.

🥗 Fresh & Satisfying Salads

Our salads are no afterthought. From the Warm Chicken & Bacon Salad to the rich and meaty 6oz Rump with Stilton, each one is freshly made and bursting with flavour. Even our Traditional Ploughman’s is a plate of proper British charm, served with Branston, pickles, and a soft roll.

🍽️ Main Courses — Big Plates, Big Flavours

Our Chicken Tikka Masala is rich, spiced to perfection, and comes with rice and a crispy poppadom — make it even better with a warm naan for just £1.50. Craving comfort? The ½ Chicken & Chips is a roast dinner in disguise, with sage stuffing, peas, and lashings of gravy. Or go veggie with our luscious Butternut Squash Lasagne or Sweet Potato, Chickpea & Spinach Curry — both bursting with hearty goodness.

And let’s not forget the pub classics: Ham & Eggs, Sausage & Eggs, and the cheesy indulgence of the Goats Cheese Topped Nut Roast. All big on taste, and perfect for filling up after a countryside walk.

🍔 Burgers — Built to Be Devoured

We’re talking thick, juicy, stacked-to-the-top goodness. The Classic Beef Burger and crispy Chicken Burger come with all the trimmings and a generous helping of chips, coleslaw, and onion rings. Fancy going plant-based? The Moving Mountain Burger is a beast of a vegan option, served with corn on the cob and beans.

✨Want to add to your burger? Add bacon, fried egg, Stilton, mushrooms, or cheddar for just £1.25 a pop.

With homely flavours, generous portions, and something for everyone, The Carpenters Arms is serving up proper food, done right.

See you at the table.
