"The Tickled Trout — West Farleigh’s Warmest Secret Tucked gently into the rolling green of West Farleigh, The Tickled Trout feels less like a pub and more like a love letter to quintessential Britain. It sits there quietly - cosey, warm, and impossibly inviting - as though the countryside itself decided to give you a hug. Step inside and you’re met not by staff, but by hosts, bright-eyed and brilliantly friendly, the kind of people who make you feel as though you’ve lived here your whole life. There’s a soft murmur of conversation, a clink of glasses, and that unmistakable sense of community, so rare these days, yet alive and well within these walls. And then the food arrives. Not “pub grub,” not even close - this is craft, incredibly good dishes that carry a quiet confidence,as if they know they’ll exceed every expectation long before you lift a fork. It’s the sort of cooking that makes you linger, savouring both the flavour and the moment. Stay the night and you’ll find rooms that are beautifully appointed, thoughtful in every detail, where comfort is woven into the fabric of the place. It feels like waking up inside a postcard - still, serene, and wonderfully British. What surprises most, perhaps, is how all this quality -the warmth, the craft, the welcome - comes at a price far gentler than it deserves. It’s hospitality done properly: generous, genuine, and profound"

"Really enjoyed our overnight stay. The twin room was spacious, beds and pillows so comfortable, and plenty of hot water for showers. The initial problem with the heating was sorted out very quickly. We had our evening meal here, and can highly recommend the food. What really stands out at The Carpenters Arms, is the staff. Many thanks to Richard, Holly and Paula and to everyone that helps make this such a great place. We would certainly be happy to stay again. "
