Old Boots left this review about Farmers Arms Inn

A long, stone built pub on the original A1, split into various areas. The counter is central made of strips of wood offcuts, it houses a few T-bars and solos of national kegs plus three handpumps but only a decent Black Sheep Bitter on, the other two were reversed clips. The left hand end is a cosy panelled area and is set up for dining while the middle has high and low tables. The right hand end is more of a public bar with a pool table, darts board, screen and machine as Graham says. it has its own door and short L shaped counter but part of the same servery. This appears to reflect a history as three separate but conjoined buildings. Decor is modern in style but one wall has a large blown up photo of the pub probably between the wars but partly hidden by a big screen, the photo is repeated on the menus. Standard pub food at a fixed price for mains and as we’re not far from Teesside the infamous Chicken Parmo is on the menu. Separate restaurant / carvery at the back. Constant music but very efficient friendly staff.

Graham Coombs left this review about Farmers Arms Inn

A surprisingly large old stone-built roadside inn, somewhat modernised inside with new wooden flooring and distressed wood cladding on the bar. A rather splendid blow-up picture of the pub in the 1920s covers one wall. Aimed a lot at food trade, including breakfasts and a takeaway, but it retains a large public bar with pool and darts. There is also a separate dining/function room at the back, and a beer garden and children's play area behind. The cask ales were temporarily off for some reason but should have been Black Sheep Best, Wensleydale Semer Water and something from Purity. It did at least have a tolerable Laine Ripper on keg.
