The Trinity Arms

The story

The Trinity Arms holds court opposite Trinity Church, a reassuringly familiar sight to locals and a discovery for visitors. Its low-beamed ceilings and characterful bar hint at centuries of stories, while log fires provide a warm glow and crackle through the cooler months. This is a pub that understands its role in the community – a place where muddy boots fresh from coastal walks are as welcome as families enjoying a leisurely afternoon. It feels genuinely untouristy while remaining completely hospitable to those passing through. The atmosphere is unhurried, reflecting the gentle pace of country life, and dogs are often found curled contentedly by the hearth, adding to the easy charm.

What to expect

Expect classic pub comfort food, prepared with a focus on generous portions and satisfying flavours. The menu regularly features staples like fish and chips or a steak and ale pie, often complemented by a selection of daily specials chalked up behind the bar. Sundays are particularly popular for their traditional carvery. In warmer weather, the sizable garden comes alive with families and walkers seeking a refreshing drink or a meal outdoors. Whether you're in for a quick pint or a substantial meal, the focus is on good, straightforward fare in a convivial setting.
