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.

We have been going to the lacon arms for many years since our boys were little . One of our boys and his partner chose lacon Arms LA lounge for their wedding reception. Lorna and all the staff who decorated the room , served drinks...the chef steve and all those serving the food did an amazing job . Nothing was too much trouble and lorna was an amazing host. All the staff were friendly kind and so thoughtful . We would highly recommend the lacon arms for any occasion. Thank youMore

Popped in here for some food with the children. Decent grub, not anything special. Filled a requirement. The site and staff were really great. Fast friendly and efficient. Think they just need to turn up the standard on food and it would be standout... nothing...wrong with the food but its a forgettable experience from the food aspect.More

We went here with 4 friends as a walk in, not sure if we would get to eat, but they got us in for a Sunday Roast Carvery. Have to mention how accommodating and friendly the staff were. The place itself is massive and lovely...seating areas. We all had a carvery consisting of 2 meats- turkey and beef, plus all trimmings. The food was amazing and meats were mouth watering. There were a lot of people here but the service was excellent and the family run pub seem to be on top of their game. One of the best carvery I have had in a long time. Definitely be back.More

Ordered chicken and ribs combo the chicken was off so much that you could smell it and the taste was bad the rest of the meal was straight out a box in the freezer after complaining they did not even reply or come back with...a apology not worthy of serving food too busy talking to each otherMore

Once again absolutely amazing food. We loved the Indian night last week so much, that we went to the Chinese night last night. The food tastes just like you would get at any authentic Indian or Chinese restaurant, for a fraction of the price. Always...a warm and friendly welcome, for you and your fur babies. We will be returning again, and can't wait for the next event xxx Thank you xxxMore

Meat was delicious. Cauliflower cheese too hard could not cut. Roast potatoes tasted like they had been reheated. The staff were amazing friendly and attentive. Just a shame about the veg. Would certainly give it another try in the hope that the veg had improved

Pros: Excellent tapas (Saturday), friendly efficient staff, dog friendly Cons: Following Saturday lunch, booked Sunday carvery - except for 1 lovely waitress, staff not clued in, no personality and Theinefficient. No one explained the procedure for using our 2 course tickets, especially as 1 of...us was having the vegetarian choice which sometimes has to be pre-ordered. Carvery menu stated choice of 4 meats - actually there was only gammon or turkey, with no apologies or explanation from the server, when all people around us were asking for beef. A while after finishing our 1st course we eventually asked at the bar what the procedure was to get our dessert and they sent a waitress over to clear the table and take our order. Really disappointed with the Sunday versus the Saturday experience.More

The Lacon Arms hosted our wedding last Saturday. We would like to thank Launa, Sian and all the staff for the absolutely fantastic job they did making our day so very special. The layout of the venue was stunning and the attention to detail was...incredible. The food for both the wedding breakfast and the evening buffet exceeded our expectations. All of our guests were looked after meticulously. Together with the fact that the venue lent itself perfectly to the ceremony, We can say that we would recommend The LA Lounge to anybody who is considering getting married there. Thank You Launa, Sian and all of the staff at The Lacon Arms. Mr and Mrs McMillan (Mac and Gina)More
