Curry...yummy
This place is infamous for their curry dishes and Wednesday night is 2 for 1 curry, so you can pretty much guarantee a wait...but it's so worth it. If you go after 8 though you probably won't have to wait, but there's no guarantee all the dishes will still be available. They don't do take out anymore though - that's VERY disappointing.
Fish & Chips to Die For
My husband and I stop in whenever we're in town. The staff always recognize you, even if you've only been there once before. The Fish and Chips are the best in the area. I also highly recommend the Butter Chicken.

Great food and service
August 04, 2014We went for the butter chicken (again) and weren't disappointed. It was FANTASTIC! The service was great too. There was a power outage as we were finishing our meal and we had no cash so the server trusted us enough to leave and try and find an ATM which took about an hour. That is what customer service is all... more

Great food... worth a stop
August 01, 2014We started our meal with the fried pepperoni appetizer and it was delicious! (And I'm not a real pepperoni fan!) We had the Butter Chicken (a curry dish) and the Guinness Steak Pie for our main courses. Both were excellent! The service was attentive and we enjoyed it all very much. If you are here in this town, be sure... more

Awesome food, great staff and an inviting environment
July 22, 2014My recent meal, a delicious chicken curry dish, was simply outstanding at Churchill's. I understand the restaurant/pub is one of the best in the region and the quality of the food is definitely a contributing factor. The service provided by 'Leslie' and 'Stacie' was outstanding...probably the greatest factor at this pub....it's people. Finally, the environment is exactly as it should... more

Good pub with interesting menu
July 18, 2014We stopped by here for lunch as we were in the mood for the "traditional British food" being advertised. However, the majority of the items on the menu involved curry! Anyway, I opted for the chicken curry melt which did sound a bit bizarre but I thought I would try it. I wasn't blown away to be honest. There was... more

Another great meal
July 11, 2014So my sister and I visited Churchill Arms again last night- another great meal!! We had a young man as our server and he did a great job. I haven't seen him there before but he did a great job- clearly he was very busy- but he looked after us very well. What I did like was his appreciation for... more

WOW great food
July 04, 2014The staff was phenomenal and the food was even better! Its a little place but packs a kick in flavor. We stuck with the basics of fish and chips. So good and so fresh. A definite must eat at place.

Best Curry in Town
July 01, 2014This would be considered our "local". The staff and food are super! Leslie and Krista (becasue we see them the most) are super friendly and always make us feel welcome when we walk in the door! The curry selections are the absolute best in town! They are more of an English curry (recipe right from Limyland) rather than an Indian... more

Great place to watch a game
July 01, 2014Had lunch and watched a world cup game here. A variety of good curries are on the menu. Although I didn't have any, the others in my group enjoyed the local beer. And for dessert...deep fried mars bar! Definitely worth a visit while in Charlottetown.

Great plate of fish and chips
June 16, 2014The service is adequate, place is pub style so kind of loud but the fish and chips is awesome. Clam platter is good as well. Try the lemonade which is refreshing as well. It is a bit pricey for what you get but in line with the other local pubs.

Great pub, just okay food
June 11, 2014
Went here to watch the first World Cup game. wasnt overly busy, average pub busy. Ordered the burger - it had sat out too long, melted cheese had congealed and was cold. Tomatoe and lettuce weren't the freshest.
The service though was impeccable. Always had a full pint of beer, and the waitress was very friendly.

Pub food, nothing more
November 22, 2013Food first: Curry is what they're known for. We all (2 couples) order the dinner- size dish Chicken Marsalla. The chicken and sauce is served in a bowl on a plate. Rice and or fries are on the side. My first beef is with quantity of chicken. Maybe 7 bite sized chunks in a soup-sized bowl of curry sauce. The... more

October 15, 2013My spouse and I had a date night at the Churchill Arms and had a very nice time, although I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a romantic venue.

It's a small place with an option of eating outdoor and it's got a good Local Pub feel to it. A nice size menu with typical British food, pub food and such but I would suggest trying one of their Traditional British Curries.

Not sure it was worth all the Hype
September 04, 2013Visited The Churchill Arms for lunch while vacationing on PEI. Our son saw it on a recent episode of You Got To Eat Here where they raved about the Butter Chicken.

Awful - Maybe an off night
August 30, 2013Not sure if the chef was sick or not when my girlfriend and I went here, but this was a horrible dinning experience. The food was awful, my girlfriend had to send her half burnt Alfredo back, and the chicken curry that some people rave about was probably the worst one I've ever gotten anywhere. Bland spices, and the chicken... more

Best service we experienced on our road trip from Ottawa.
Very welcoming from the moment we walked in the door as greeted by the owner herself, and patrons of the pub.
We had the onion bhaji to start which was phenomenal! The fish and chips were equally amazing and the serving size was extremely generous. The butter chicken was spectacular....

from You Gotta Eat Here
August 21, 2013After seeing this restaurant on You Gotta Eat Here on TV, we purposely sought out this restaurant in Charlottetown. We were extremely disappointed.

April 12, 2013I love this place! I come almost every week for the Korma curry chicken. Perfect every time! The servers are great and the atmosphere is cozy. Gets a little cramped at supper time so be sure to make a reservation. Everyone shouldn't this place at least once!
