This year we decided to use Bens kitchen for our Xmas dinner as there was only 2 of us. We ordered the extra large turkey dinner and were not disappointed. From ordering to collecting the process was straightforward, we had instructions to cook the dinner at home which were clear and easy to understand. On to the main event and wow! We had so much food but none was wasted so I feel the portion size was just right, it was absolutely delicious! From oven to plate was around 30-45mins and hardly any washing up was a bonus. I would most certainly recommend it was the best decision and meant I could enjoy Xmas day rather than being stuck in the kitchen! We will more than likely be doing it again this year! Thank you so much.

Such a lovely chef. Food was delicious and Ben was very hospitable and catered to all the guests needs. I would highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing! Food is simply delicious! And personnel is top! They care about you! Very friendly and lovely!!! 100 recommended!!

I’ve been on steak night yesterday and food was delicious! Amazing chef came out to us to have a little chat, that was really kind! Thank you for great experience with new tastes.

Our second visit didn’t disappoint friendly staff and the best Sunday lunch out. We will definitely be back when they return in the autumn.

Excellent Tapas night at the Lancaster Arms – great food from Ben Knowles.

We were delighted to sample the delicacies on offer at the Lancaster Arms in Desford on Tuesday night. The whole evening was nice and relaxed – the staff were welcoming and helpful. The food itself was as good as it looked (which is to say absolutely fan-tas-tic!) A whole platter of delectable portions perfectly presented and dutifully eaten. Looking forward to coming back and having some more!

Bens kitchen is a must do! The food is pub classics done splendidly and done the way the dream of when thinking of your fave pub classic!

Fantastic food, the very best Sunday lunch I have found! What I also like about eating at Ben’s kitchen is the menu changes every quarter or so this keeps things interesting. He also provides all the classics, so you won’t be left disappointed. Well worth a visit, keep up the great work.

The steak was our favourite, I favoured the Stilton sauce over the pepper corn (but my partner said the other way around!). Its decorated beautifully in there and staff were attentive and kind! We will definitely be returning and keeping our eye out for the specials of the week!!

We’ve just been for dinner at Ben’s Kitchen and it was amazing. We’re fairly rubbish at leaving reviews but Ben is so lovely, his food is delicious so we wanted to make sure we wrote one this evening! I had a veggie meal off the Winter Menu and my fella had Fish and Chips which were both so good we ended up having to swap half way through so we could try each other’s! e also like that you see Ben, he’s not at all if your face but you know who he is, he wants to check you’re enjoying it and that everything is OK with your meal and obviously cares and takes pride in his work. Anyway, great chef, lovely guy, would highly recommend and we’ll 100% be back soon, probably for breakfast looking at the pictures you’ve posted on Facebook! X

Been visiting Ben’s Kitchen now for a few years now after he did the catering for my dads 60th 4 years ago. His food and team never let you down. Today we had a fantastic meal at The Old Crown Inn and again, a fabulous meal. They were a few front of house team members short today, however, Ben and his team rose to the challenge perfectly
