An Afternoon in Charlestown ⚓️ We kicked off our afternoon at The Rashleigh Arms, indulging in a delicious lunch. The atmosphere inside was incredibly calm, providing a perfect contrast to the brewing storm outside. The staff were exceptional, and their warm hospitality and attentiveness truly enhanced our experience! After lunch, we strolled down to the harbour, passing the charming cottages of C...

Reviews Summary

Rashleigh Arms garners praise for its excellent Sunday roasts and friendly, attentive service, particularly noted for making families feel welcome. The charming seaside location and beer garden are also highlights. However, some diners have experienced slow service and found portions to be small for the price, with occasional disappointments in food quality.

"We rocked up on Sunday 6.4.25 @ 19.20ish hoping to grab a meal before heading home after a long walk. The staff were friendly and efficient. They seated us promptly. There was a good selection of beers and they had a good choice of alcohol-free beers. We were so pleased to see they were serving roast dinners at that time: most places finish serving much earlier. Three of us had the beef brisket, one had the pork belly. Dinner was amazing! So chuffed they served cauliflower as standard on their roast. We had a good amount of veggies on the side with extra gravy (in a teapot!). The staff were tentative and friendly throughout. We noticed there was a slight problem with the table near us and the customers were being very rude to all of the members of staff. We felt the staff handled it very calmly and professionally considering how the customers were bahaving regardless of the small issues that may have occurs. Seb served us: thanks Seb!"

"Came for Sunday lunch having had many lovely meals here before. Service was incredibly slow. We each had a Sunday roast and the portions were very small for the price - one slice of beef per person. No green vegetables either. No member of staff checked on our meal, or asked how the food was when collecting our plates by which time it was too late anyway. It’s a shame as we have had plenty of lovely times here before but today has put us off returning."

Sarah Hood

"We stopped for a drink in the afternoon, friendly and helpful staff,so we decided to return again in the evening after spending the day in Charlestown. It was worth it as again in the restaurant the service was really good, helpful and friendly and the food was pretty dam good too. A pub definitely worth a visit. Thank you"
