Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Food average compared with other establishments. However, we like the place as we have been before. Unfortunately, on this occasion the service after the main meal was so slow that we thought the staff had gone on strike.

Myself and missus thought we'd try something out of town and different for a Sunday. Couldn't rate the food highly enough. We got the sunday sharer and excellent value for money. Came with a selection of meats. Would highly recommend.

A country pub with city centre standards. From the moment we walked in we were made to feel so welcome, even being given help to charge up a phone. Julie looked after us, a diamond, and the food was delicious and fairly priced. The chain...is JW Lees which in my opinion is carving out a reputation as a serious food pub outfit. Their beers are good, if well kept, but their food is surpassing better known chains including Greene King. Her indoors ate 3 courses for about £20 and was purring for the first time since VE day!More

The Duckworth Arms has a separate fryer for the gluten free food and staff were very reassuring about their preparation of the meal. This was the small portion of fish and chips which I opted to have without the mushy peas (I was offered alternatives...of garden peas or beans). Chips were ok, nothing special, and it was all nicely cooked. Food took a little while, but I think that it was busier than usual, so not a problem for me.More

What a great and welcoming pub! set in the village of Edenfield, with a great beer garden for the summer months, the pub is dog friendly and has an open fire in the main bar area for those cosy winter nights! Staff were very welcoming...and attentive, which in a lot of pubs these days is sadly not the case! They offer a comprehensive menu to suit all tastes with plenty of traditional pub classics, as well as some seasonal dishes. Well worth a visit and highly recommend. 5 Stars!More

We had a fantastic lunch at the Duckworth Arms. We ate from the light lunch menu that’s great value. The menu isn’t the mass produced typical pub grub, it has a home made feel about it and draws from local produce. The black pudding fritters...with chilli sauce were lovely and I could heat the bang bang peanut sauce that comes with the tempura veg by the bucketload. The mains were a decent size for a light lunch. It’s a shame the lunch menu isn’t served outside but our Labrador was welcome in the bar area where there were treats and dog bowls. We’ll deffo be back!More
