Moby Duck left this review about Purefoy Arms
An attractive red brick building that is very much a food led pub. Two rooms, the left hand one appears to be purely a restaraunt with the right hand room more of a pub.The restaurant was quite busy on a Wednesday lunchtime whilst I was the only customer in the pub side, as a result there was little if any natural ambiance in evidence, a couple of lads did come in after me but located to the beer garden cigarettes in hand. Three handles with two beers on, Triple fff Altons Pride and Flowerpots Perridge Pale, the Pale only just managing fair condition. Not a place I would plan to revisit unless for food.
