Sawyers Arms Tavern

Judges’ comments 2026:

The Sawyer’s Arms Tavern offers outstanding value for money, delivering a complete          hospitality experience that goes well beyond simply food and drink.

From the moment you arrive, you are enjoying one of the region’s classic and well-known    hotels — a venue full of history, charm, and character. The warm atmosphere, inviting        fireplaces, and beautifully maintained surroundings all add to the sense that you are somewhere special.

That value is further enhanced by the friendly and efficient staff, who help create a welcoming and enjoyable experience from start to finish. Combined with a truly impressive wine list and well-cooked, thoughtfully prepared food, the overall offering feels generous and rewarding.
