The Carnarvon Arms

The Carnarvon Arms

The Carnarvon Arms, located a short distance from J13 of the M4 and right next to Highclere Castle, is a delightful country inn offering home from home comfort, sensational food and stylish bedrooms with a strong focus on great service – all at sensible prices. This is the perfect place to meet whether for a quick lunch, a delicious evening meal, a private party, a business meeting or a relaxing weekend away.

Our Grade II listed building was built in the 1800’s as a coaching inn. It has been beautifully renovated, offering a stunning dining room with a high vaulted ceiling, a thriving, friendly bar, 23 stylish bedrooms and private meeting room facilities.

Sensational Michelin quality food at sensible prices is the mantra of our Michelin Starred executive chef, Rob Clayton. We are passionate in our belief that it is possible to provide great food in an informal setting without losing the essence of a modern-day country inn. Our kitchen offers Michelin star-quality, modern British cuisine, full of character and distinction in relaxed surroundings. There is a strong emphasis on local, seasonal produce, so our menus change with the seasons and take advantage of as much local produce as possible.
