Foelas Arms Bar Services Exceptional Bar Service – Lucille and Her Team Were Amazing! Lucille and her team were absolutely fantastic as our wedding bar staff – we couldn’t have asked for better! From the moment the first welcome drinks were served, everything ran smoothly and with a smile. Our guests were welcomed with Pimm’s and beer, there was plenty of wine on the tables, and the bar was fully stocked with a wide variety of drinks throughout the evening. The service was quick, friendly, and full of positive energy – every member of the team made sure our guests were well looked after and having a great time. One of the things that really stood out was the excellent pricing – Lucille and her team charged normal pub rates, not inflated “wedding” prices, which was such a refreshing and appreciated detail. The drinks were delicious, the team were genuinely lovely, and the whole experience added to the relaxed, joyful atmosphere of the day. If you’re looking for professional, warm, and efficient bar staff for your wedding, we would 100% recommend Lucille and her team!

Great little pub. Friendly locals. Cheap pints. Owners like to come out for a pint and a chat later in the night. Great atmosphere. Stayed in the 3 bedroom cottage out back. Was amazing value for such a big self contained place. Will be back.

We stayed in the cottage behind the pub. Was a lovely place and the pub is small but friendly. My son ordered his first pint here, yes he ordered Guinness but he did drink half of it before the landlord swapped it for him
