Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Pigot Arms
Large village pub with various seating and dining areas in a partly opened-out L-shaped layout, all parts with light decoration and comfortable semi-traditional furniture. Also has a pool table and a sunny patio seating area. Doom Bar, Landlord, Wye Valley HPA, Enville White (£4.55) and a Lilley's cider from a total of seven handpumps.

No longer an Ember Inn, this is one of a parcel M&B unloaded to Stonegate a couple of years ago. This one is in their unbranded Classic Inns brand, so aiming at much the same market as before, but not as expressly food led as an Ember Inn. Layout is as described by Soup below, though the bar area to the left now has a pool table and more basic seating, obviously designed to attract Pattingham's younger pubgoers. We were there for a family meal, all very pleasant, largely food-service stuff as you might expect.
Beer: a lack lustre showing typical of Stonegate. Two random xmas brews still on well into January. Lancaster Bomber - in decent shape - was the only other choice. A couple of other clips were reversed and I didn't get to see what I was missing due to bar blockers.
It's fine for what it is, but you wouldn't go out of your way to visit.

An Ember Inns pub/eatery with a front patio and rear beer garden. It occupies a couple of buildings, both have a Georgian look; a white rendered extended cottage and an undressed brick house, with a neo-classical pediment.
The interior is an L-shaped open-plan room around the serving bar. The decor is the common one, with mixed wall and ceiling colours of brown, green, cream and red amongst others. To the left of the entrance there is a lounge area, down a couple of steps, which has a few sofas and TVs, showing the cricket. To the right when entering, is a bar area, with more TVs and a wood floor. Moving through the place you come to the large dining area at the back, which is nearly bisected by a fireplace feature. Here, the bistro art and mirrors feature on the walls, with some old local photographs. We ate here and the food was decent enough. The music was general and at a decent level. The service was fine and the clientele mixed, but mainly eating.
Beer; tap stuff with Peroni and Banks's MILD, with three handpulls that had sharpe's Doombar, Spitfire and Banks's Bitter. The Doombar was fine.
One of the better Ember Inns, mainly as, as commented below, you are thankfully spared the quantity of irritating vases. It complements the Crown very well, it being foody while the other is more a proper pub.

This is a large white rendered country cottage style pub that has been extended into a neighbouring red brick Victorian house and it is owned by Ember Inns. The interior is L shaped, open plan and on three levels. As you enter the main door there is a public bar area with a large L shaped bar counter straight ahead, to the left is a small snug down a couple of steps and if you walk straight forward from the entrance you will find a large dining area up a couple of steps. The bar curves to the right around the L shaped counter and has a brick fireplace, arty paintings and a large flat screen TV which usually shows sky sports news. The snug is very small with a large fireplace and only a couple of tables. The dining area is as big as the other two areas put together, with another large fireplace, more arty paintings and a detailed history of the pub on the wall near the toilets (apparently this was a successful brew pub around 150-200 years ago).
Regular ale is Banks’s Bitter with two changing guest ales from Ember Inns national portfolio, one of which on my last visit was Timothy Taylor Golden Best which is described as a rare light Mild and was absolutely delicious.
This is a nice old building with a more modern interior and is a good place to take the wife/partner for a decent pub meal but be warned as with all Ember Inn pubs, children under 14 are not permitted at any time. Not as many tacky and pointless ornaments or vases as you would normally find in an Ember Inns pub and beer choice can be interesting, so its certainly worth an occasional visit.
