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.

Called in on my own and made very welcome. Pre-booked my Sunday lunch and it was delicious with lots of vegetable variety, chicken, stuffing, sausage and Yorkshire pud which is a must. Could not resist a naughty pudding too, syrup sponge with custard and wow was it tasty 😋 very reasonable and friendly traditional pub setting. Thank you for making me feel comfortable and welcome 😁

Proper service and proper food
We went here for the first time on Easter Sunday.
You order in advance but the food is home made, delicious and excellent service by Julie.
The bar is old school in a good way, generous on ice, bottle in the bar sparkle and service is excellent!
Roast lamb and pork was huge and tasty, plenty of veg and lovely parsnips!
The place is spotless and has an excellent atmosphere.
Attention to detail from making my mums tea just how she likes it (decaf and weak) to food served on hot plates! Crumble that tasted like they had picked the berries and banana split that was huge!
We will be back, loved the old school approach to food and service!

Absolute gem of a bar and restaurant, the best for a few miles around. Great service, really friendly staff, spotlessly clean, wonderful food. Not a large pub so probably best to book. Don't hesitate !

We came from Hull for mother’s day and my daughter had booked a surprise lunch . We were not disappointed- the biggest tastiest Sunday lunch we have ever had- beautifully cooked- meat was tender- every veg you could mention, gorgeous gravy! Lovely choice of sweets but what made it special was the lovely attentive staff- nothing was too much trouble and came and asked if we needed more gravy etc. Best Sunday lunch , great value and can highly recommend- will definitely come again soon ! Thank you!

I stopped off to take break from the M1 on a long drive up north and I couldn't have chosen a better place, I was made so welcome, the owners where engaging and could not do enough for you. The beer was excellent (cleans the lines once a week for 4hrs) The food is homemade and good. Please visit as we all know this industry is suffering. According to the landlady there are good dog walks and the pub is inviting, clean, and well presented

This establishment has fantastic hosts & staff that really welcome you into their public house. The first time we entered this pub to try one of there highly recommended Sunday Roasts we were given such a warm welcome & the food was very plentyful & the taste was the best we have ever tasted anywhere else (just like your mum made). We thought this was a one off to impress us so we booked again for the following Sunday, We were not disappointed at all. This is now are regular Sunday lunch treat as nowhere else can touch this establishment for everything one is to expect, and the prices are very, very reasonable for what delishious food you get on your plate. I'm sorry Hillcote Arms but you are the best & we recommend you highly to everyone.

Had a family Sunday lunch out today and was by far the best one. The food was all home cooked and plentiful as well as piping hot. Cannot recommend this place enough will definitely be returning and compliments to all of the staff there, they all really do go the extra mile to make your visit there very pleasurable.
