There’s lots going on over the next weeks, so to ensure you don’t miss anything vital, here are some dates for your diary:
Sunday 28th July:
The Wedding Crashers will be performing from 7pm – 9pm. They’re a fabulous piano/drums/vocals band with a wide repertoire, definitely something for everyone. One not to be missed – save the date! http://www.theweddingcrashers.co.uk/
Friday 16th August:
The wonderful Andrew James will be performing from 7-9pm on the eve of the big summer barbecue.
Saturday 17th August:
Howard Arms summer garden party with two bands, a hog roast, bouncy castle, ice cream van, and lots more. Proceedings kick off at 12.30 with the Tovey Brothers band, Doc Brown are performing from 6pm, and the barbecue starts at 6pm. Our June party was so well attended we’ve booked a bigger hog this time!
Monday 26th August:
Ilmington Show – always a highlight of the Ilmington calendar, this year will be no exception with a full afternoon of entertainment and displays of flowers, fruit and veg. Don’t leave your dogs at home, you can enter your woof into one or more of the many categories of the dog show. And when thirst or hunger gets the better of you, there’s an array of food and drink options including pig roast, barbecue, ice cream stall, tea, coffee, cake, and our very own Pimms and Aperol Spritz bar.
Autumn:
Once summer is over, we’ll be making sure there’s plenty to brighten up your autumn including beer and cheese tasting, game night, pie nights, and a rocking offer on our (whisper it) Christmas menu – keep an eye out for detailed information on all these events.
We look forward to seeing you soon

The festivities are just around the corner, so if you’re looking to make plans, now is probably not too early!
There’s plenty going on at The Howard Arms this year, and whether you book for a ‘special’ event such as Christmas lunch, or New Year’s Eve, you’ll always find a great vibe in the bar and restaurant, with locals enjoying the holiday, visitors staying for the duration, a great menu, always a roaring fire, and some special Christmas cocktails in addition to the usual favourites.
The Christmas package:
We’ve meticulously planned a three-night stay with plenty to eat and drink, and lots to do (if you want to). For those who prefer to kick back by the fire and leave the walks, singing and church to others, that’s obviously absolutely fine too!
Full details of our three-night stay can be found here.
But don’t delay, at the time of writing there is just one double room left available.
Christmas parties:
We have a party menu for 1st – 23rd December, available every day except Sunday. It’s a set price of £26 for three courses, £20 for two courses. While this is a great option for large gatherings, there’s no minimum or maximum party size – we just ask that you pre-order one week prior to the booking, and the choice is taken by all diners at the table.
Christmas lunch is a gastronomic affair starting with Champagne and canapes, followed by three courses and a sorbet, and finishing up with coffee and mince pies.
It’s included in the three-night package, but there is also availability for non-residents. The full menu can be found via this link:
New Year’s Eve
We have one double room remaining for our New Year’s package, a two-night stay for £550 that includes champagne and canape reception followed by dinner and dancing on New Year’s Eve, a hearty breakfast on New Year’s Day with a restorative Bloody Mary or glass of fizz, a bracing countryside walk (or quiet time by the fire), followed by a three-course dinner.
We’re still taking New Year’s Eve dinner bookings for non-residents. The full menu can be found here:
We very much look forward to seeing you for a celebratory something over the Christmas period.
