Went on a Sunday about 4pm. Atmosphere was great, very busy outside due to the weather been nice which didn't effect the service at all. Good sized play area outside for children maybe over the age of 5 / 6. Alternatively, children younger would need constant adult supervision / help getting around. Food - Was good, as you can see in the photo we got 3 small plates + Pizza. The salt & pepper Chicken was very salty which did hinder the rest of the small and made you drink more due to the salt > which then filled you up quicker. The pizza was tasty (hot shot) but I could tell it had been waiting on the side a little while due to it been hot, it was warm enough to eat but I had to eat it first, then unfortunately went cold once we were half way through. The other two plates we got was Homemade Natchos which were lovely, not The Raby Arms fault, as any place this happens but slightly soggy on the bottom but Natchos were very tasty with the given dips. The next plate we got was Loaded Beef Brisket Fries... these were gorgeous with cheese loaded on top. Very tasty and beef wasn't too fatty like I've had in other places. Again, not the Rabys fault but chips at the bottom went wet / soggy due to beef juices so unable to fully finish. The deserts: Sticky toffee pudding + Triple Choc Brownie. The pudding did originally come with Custard but when we asked for it to be changed to Ice cream, they were happy to do this (as well as adding an extra scoop at our request) The chocolate brownie was very tasty and moist inside, my only negative with it was it came with chocolate ice cream which made it too sickly as it was a triple chocolate brownie. If I was to go back, I would request for vanilla rather than chocolate with the desert. Ice cream was nice. They gave us boxes to take the pizza home with. In total with 2 beers and 1 Pepsi it came to £58 for two people on a Sunday. Overall I would return, but would bare the above in mind. Like I mentioned we attended on a Sunday so the menu was limited but I would definitely like to return mid week to their full menu to check it out. As always, my reviews are genuine, fair and honest. Thankyou.

We had a Sunday lunch at the Ruby Arms during our weekend away at Seaham. The pub has a good-sized car park, beer garden and a children's outdoor enclosed play area. The service was excellent, and the food was the same. No long wait for the food to arrive and when it did were impressed. A good size portion really well presented and the taste and flavours were simply gorgeous. Really impressed with the food this was not a pile it high cheap carvery. This was proper pub food at its best. Probably the best Sunday lunch we have ever eaten.
