I am so relieved to read that other people have had the same experience as me as I don't often complain in restaurants. On arrival the waitress was very abrupt and rude. We were then put on a table in the bar area which was freezing and not served for 25 minutes. I had to go up to the bar to order drinks as we could not get any attention. I also had to go up to pay the bill!!! The food was good but not worth it for the service we received. When the waitress asked me if everything was ok, I explained that we were very disappointed with the service and she said sorry. I would expect more than a sorry from a restaurant which rates itself and that is associated with Jamie Oliver! I think it is also disappointing to read so many bad reviews and that it has not been noted or rectified.

Not as exciting as one would have expected given the pub/hotels association with Jamie Oliver. The room was cold (it was i have to say a very cold night ) Cold air gushed through the single pane windows. Stupidly the thick curtains when shut completely covered the only radiator.There does not appear to be sound proofing in the rooms for one can easily hear conversation from the next door occupants and the hum of the restaurant below.( The next door occupant banged on the walls at 3 am believing , I think that there was the beep of an alarm clock consistantly going off next door - when it turned out to be coming fom the restaurant below) The knowledge that the occupants could hear was not condusive to their, or my, romantic weekend!!. The restaurant was overated too many tables squashed together - one becomes part of a shool dining room!Far too many tables ans so little elbow room - the food,at best, mediocre - I had pork swimming in a red sauce(?) that had a tin tasting quality that seeped into the mash.The cheeseboard at £9 consisted of 4 small pieces of cheese - totally overpriced and over rated.

The Arms is situated in a rather boring setting with a small industrial estate situated behind it.

This is not the place to visit if one is wanting to find somewhere special to visit. Although it is now a couple of weeks ago that I visited I still feel let down - we had travelled 120 miles to get what indeed was forgettable. I would have quite happily told the reception on leaving - but they never asked! I would not like to suggest that the arms is living off the a famous reputation rather than supplying quality

Maybe Jamie who is trying to educate the people of Rotherham to good food should revisit his heritage and apply his skills for I cant see this type of quality enhancing his reputation!!.

Took my girlfriend for dinner here, the staff were so kind & friendly, my girlfriend loves partridge but would be unable eat the beetroot that it was served with, The waitress overheard and came back less than a minute later to say that the Chef would be more than happy to modify the dish to suit her needs - she was so impressed and really really loved the modified dish. It was busy for a monday night but we almost felt like the only people there - such was the level of care and attention that we received. Prices were reasonable bearing in mind the very high quality of the food & ingredients. We absolutely loved this place - a real treat

It was my Husband & Sister-in-Laws birthday lunch & although the food was excellent the edge was taken off the celebrations by the VERY off hand attitude of the staff. Although they had their cards & presents on display there was never any reference made by staff that they had a occasion on their hands. We especially DID NOT like that one of the waiters was serving in SHORTS !! This is supposed to be an elegant venue NOT A BEACH IN GREECE !!

Our party of eight dined in the bar area on Saturday evening and all enjoyed the experience.Wide choice of tasty food,generous portions and plenty of vegetables.The local venison and the sticky toffee pudding especially praised.Friendly service.Also very comfortable,warm room in Courtyard section and excellent breakfast
