Strongers . left this review about Carpenters Arms
The Carpenters Arms is a Bateman’s pub with an L-shaped serving counter on the rear wall to the right where four hand pumps are supported. One was unused which left Last Post, Victory Ale and XB as the cask options alongside standard and premium keg. The right-hand side of the pub is wooden floored and the left is tiled, and there’s additional raised seating in the left rear. At the back is a pool table and dartboard with more seating. The signed electric guitar and oddly hung signed symbol on the wooden walls give away the fact that regular live music is held here, but it was quiet other than some 1970s background music during my recent Wednesday evening visit. The service was friendly and atmosphere welcoming so I decided to have a half of Victory and Last Post, the latter being my preferred ale. I’d pop back in of passing.

Not a bad Batemans pub, with the bar to the right hand side. I had XXXB which was OK. Strange area to the left which looks as though there used to be a pool table in it, but no longer.

A superb back street locals pub where a couple of friendly locals pretended to be door men and said 'you cant come in here with trainers on'. We had a bit of a joke with them but all in good humour. How I remember that from our night club and trendy bar days trying to be night clubs some years back!!
Inside this pleasant pub had Batemans ales on which were well kept.
Well worth the walk through the older part of town to pay a visit.
