"What has been said about us....recently"

THE(CAMRA) GOOD PUB FOOD GUIDE.Susan Nowak
“Taking up Floyd’s culinary cudgels are Denise and Quentin Thwaites.Long in this guide for brilliant food at the White Cross in Richmond they now use local produce to cook up real excitement on a daily changed menu. Fab soups,main courses which always provide veggie treats,game and fresh seafood...Huge B&Brooms decorated by Floyd in opulent style.”

THE REAL ALE PUB GUIDE.Graham Titcombe & Nicholas Andrews
“A traditional country pub ....overlooking the river.Barbecues on the river bank and regular live music.If you manage to find Tuckenhay,you’ll find the pub.”

THE GOOD BEER GUIDE(CAMRA) 2006
“Superb old pub overlooking peaceful Bow Creek with fine views over the wooded valley."

THE QUIET PINT 2006
"Every one has their own ides about what goes to make the perfect pub.....the freedom to enjoy a glass of wine or a pint in peace without ... intrusive musical background ..........the Maltsters Arms is of tremendous appeal. You can sit by the creek and watch the comings and goings."

THE TIMES MAGAZINE MAY 2004 - TWELVE PERFECT PUBS
“George Orwell wrote in 1946 about his perfect pub called the Moon under water where the beer was in good nick,unpretentious food came in generous portions and the barmaids called the customers”dear”….He might,I fancy,have taken a liking to a near-idyllic pub where you might even catch the reflection of the moon in the water….The Maltsters Arms at Tuckenhay.”

PUB FOOD AWARDS 2002 WINNER, CHILDREN'S FOOD: Maltsters Arms
"The attitude to children in this ex-Floyd pub is simple-they are small adults unless they prove otherwise, very much the continental approach.The food was all perfectly cooked , wonderful flavours with an interesting selection of vegetables."
