I was one of the 12 in the hen party that visited the Fortrscue Arms for Sunday lunch following a very busy weekend! The landlord and landlady couldn't have done any more to make us feel welcome and valued as customers! The roast beef was to die for and the vegetables, gravy boats and Yorkshire's just kept on coming! The... More

To close my hen weekend spent at Pitt Farm we took the opportunity to have Sunday lunch at The Fortescue Arms yesterday. There was 12 of us and we did call and book the night before to reserve the table but it was quite clear the welcoming landlord would have accommodated our every need. The attention to detail and decor... More

I heard the fortescue arms pub was under new management so thought i'd pop along and see for myself... Well all I can say is the pub is back to its former glory, it looked like every man and his wife had come down.. What an atmosphere.... I wish the new owners the best of luck, but something told me... More

Having been a visitor to this pub over a number of years I feel totally let down by what I saw at my last recent visit. This used to be a very well run pub - not any more! The good points. The beer is kept well and the bar girls are friendly. The bad points. No one else drinking... More

This 'gastro' pub is aspiring to greatness, but falls short. The beer is well kept and that's pretty much where the rest starts to let it down. The menu flattered to deceive to be honest, as they could not even get a burger done right. The patty had been cooked twice, at least, was dry and at no time was... More

We always do a check back to make sure everything is alright as we cannot get everything right all the time and without customer feedback we cannot change... More

Dined here several times in the last week and without fail the Fortescue Arms delivered great service and really good food. From a Sunday roast to a family dinner during the week the food was excellent from lamb shank to simple local ham. If you are In the East Allington area ths pub is must use destination.
