We stayed on their campsite so we ate in their pub, the food is top class, I've had 2 meals already and can't wait for another! Portions are very generous and the quality is beautiful, flavours are fab too. Presentation is very good, I highly recommend this pub for food! I've eaten in a lot of pubs over the years but this one is just a cut above for the same price.

It's our 'go to' place after visiting WWT Slimbridge which is just down the road. We've never stayed here but have eaten here often and the food has ALWAYS been delicious with generous portions. Highly recommend

Wonderfully located next to the camp site; provided just what we wanted for an evening meal. Staff were friendly and accommodating when I asked if it was possible for a change on the menu. I'd recommend for good service as the food was quick too.

On Sunday we celebrated my father's birthday in the skittle alley area. It was absolutely wonderful. The service was prompt and professional. The buffet was beautifully presented, lovely and catered for a variety of dietary needs. A massive thank you to all the staff. Would highly recommend

We are staying on the attached campsite and just visited the pub. Service was prompt and polite, decor was well maintained and interesting, and the fish and chips were EXCELLENT! We love the little rooms and fire places throughout the building, lots of quiet spaces as well as the main bar area and beer garden. We'd definitely recommend The Tudor Arms as a family and pet friendly place, with a good selection of food and drink to suit most preferences... and they have a skittles alley too! What's not to love
