Just a little heads-up for Bank Holiday Monday. 😉

We'll be open as usual from 12pm, with food served 12–6pm, and we'll close the pub a little earlier than normal at 8pm.

The rest of the Bank Holiday weekend is business as usual, so there are plenty of opportunities to come and see us! 🍻🍽️

And if we don't see you, we hope you have a lovely, well-deserved Bank Holiday weekend... well, those of you lucky enough not to be working anyway! 😂

From all of us at The Whitmore Arms, enjoy your weekend. ❤️

How lucky are we to have THIS at our pub every single Thursday night?!!! 🎸🎶

Talented musicians playing live, right in front of you, in a small, intimate setting... it really does feel like your own private gig! 😮🙌

And the best bit is... no tickets, no entry fee. Just book a table and make a night of it, or pull up a seat at the bar and enjoy the music. 🤗

Every Thursday from 8pm. 🍻🎸
We can't quite believe we get to do this every week!

Tommy left us this lovely 5-star Google review, along with this cracking photo of his Hawkstone out on our decking. ☀️

We're so pleased he enjoyed his visit, and he gave a special mention to our staff (we're very lucky to have such a lovely team here). 🥰

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave the review and share the photo, Tommy. We'll look forward to seeing you again when your travels bring you our way!

Now then... anyone else suddenly fancy a cold pint on the decking? 👀🤔🤣

Who said vegetarian options have to be boring? 😍

Our Goat's Cheese & Heritage Beetroot Salad is one of those dishes that looks every bit as good as it tastes. Goat's cheese, heritage beetroot, walnuts and mixed leaves, finished with a balsamic & Acacia honey dressing. 😋

Fresh, colourful and a lovely lighter choice when you fancy something that isn't going to leave you needing an afternoon nap! 😂

And don't forget, you can enjoy this one at home too. Our takeaway menu is available Monday to Saturday, 12pm–8pm.

📞 Call 01375 891259 to order.

The Whitmore Arms has stood here for many years, with generations of people walking through these doors, meeting friends, celebrating birthdays, sharing Sunday lunches, and probably telling a fair few stories over a pint along the way! 😊

We’re incredibly proud to call this beautiful old building home and very aware that, for the time we’re here, we’re simply looking after another little chapter in its history. 🥰

Running a pub isn’t easy, particularly at the moment. We’ve all seen far too many pubs closing their doors, and it makes us even more determined to keep The Whitmore thriving and continue the tradition for years to come.

But we couldn't do that without you. 🙏

Every meal you order, every drink at the bar, every family celebration, recommendation, review and return visit helps keep these doors open.

So from all of us here, thank you for continuing to support your local pub. We never take it for granted. ❤️

Here’s to the past, the present… and plenty more memories still to be made at The Whitmore Arms. 🍻

It's not exactly a dish that arrives quietly... 😂🤣

Our hanging Lamb Shish is a bit of a showstopper as it makes its way through the restaurant. Served with salad, pitta and fresh chilli sauce, it tastes every bit as good as it looks. 👏

And yes, we know it's still absolutely roasting outside! 🥵 Luckily our restaurant is fully air-conditioned, so you can enjoy all of this in lovely cool comfort while we deal with the heat in the kitchen. 😎❄️

Who's tackling this one? 👀

Something new is coming to Thursday nights at The Whitmore! 🎶🙌

Starting Thursday 20th August, we'll have a jam night here every Thursday from 8pm, with the Clay Hill Blues Band, hosted by Robbie Blake. 🎸

Everyone is welcome, so come along, grab a drink and enjoy some great live music with us. 🤗

And if you fancy making a night of it, we're serving food until 9pm, so why not book a table, have something to eat and stay for the music afterwards. 🎶🍻

No AI-generated photos. No fancy filters. Just a simple photo of a dish that's just left our kitchen. 😉👏💯

This is our Pan Fried Sea Bass, served with Hasselback potatoes, seasonal vegetables and a Beurre Blanc sauce.

What you see is exactly what you'll get when it arrives at your table. Fresh ingredients, cooked with care and served just as it should be.

Sometimes simple really is best. 😊
