Perhaps out of the way for a few people but it means you get a lot of the locals in there (like myself!) which leads to a very pleasant and jovial ambience to the play. The low wooden beams and moody lighting might be the staple of this chain of pubs but don't let that put you off, this really is in the spirit of traditional old country pubs. The food is pretty good and there's a good selection of lagers bitters and ales on tap for the discerning drinker. The staff and the new management are much improved and very friendly with the punters and won't shy from a bit of joking and banter. The car park is always full, especially on Sundays when people go in for the Sunday roast which if anything is a sign of a successful establishment.

What stood out most was the quality of the beef, the most tender, succulent cut of ground meat you can ever hope for, and grilled to perfection. I don't get overly excited about burgers, but this was the apex and I thought I had died and gone to burger heaven. All this is a very charming, tasteful pub in the Cotswolds countryside. Comfortable, cozy and oh so pleasant. We came for lunch just after noon at seated in the restaurant. We were given a choice of that or the pub/bar section. I washed it down with a pint of Cotswold Pale Ale... a great choice with the lunch. Service was professional, friendly and fun. They were very engaged and thoughtful and I highly recommend going out of your way to visit and enjoy this establishment.

Super tasty quality food, I noticed that on the menu it even tells you which farm the meat came from, or where the ice cream was made etc. The Greek Lamb and the Gammon are both brilliant.

What can I say about the King's Arms? I'm at home here. When we moved to the UK, honestly our most…read moredesired feature was walking distance to a pub. We got stumbling distance to one of the best pubs in the country. This place is well-regarded by everyone in the region. I've met people here who give up walking distance to their local to drive here and have a good time. That says something. My first night here I made friends, and each time I've been here since I find myself in good company either with neighbors we've met before, or people who know we're new to the area and want to welcome us. I can't begin to tell you how often a quick pint before dinner turns into a long session at King's Arms. I wouldn't have it any other way. These guys truly embrace the concept of being the center of village activity. No TVs, no WiFi, these things distract from the community. You come here to interact with your friends and neighbors, enjoy a good beer, and enjoy living in the company of others. They regularly have events to bring the village out. The most impressive of which was the dinner they hosted on the night of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. They served the exact 10-course menu served in first class that evening, and requested everyone bust out their tuxedos and dresses to mark the occasion in grand fashion. It was a remarkable evening. One disappointment, since I have to list one to feel as though I am being fair, is the wine list. We love the temperanillo, but really none of the others. But we're not here to drink wine, we're here to be social! It makes me a little sad that we don't have this type of drinking culture in the US. If you're not an alcoholic, you're not likely be on a first-name basis with the bartenders at a local watering hole. That's why I love walking in here; everyone knows everyone else, they're always happy to see you, they know what you drink, they pour a tasty pint, and are genuinely good people. I dig it.

We got to the Griffin about 5.30pm. We were seated by a friendly waitress. Then, after about 10…read moreminutes, we decided to order a meal. I went up to the bar and asked if I could order food. I was told a waitress would be sent to our table to take the order in a minute. 20 minutes later, my sister had to approach the bar again to say we were still waiting to be served (this was after another family had come in and were served immediately). When we were eventually served, the meals took around 20 minutes to arrive which isn't too bad. I had Cajun chicken which was nice, It was served with chips and salad. The chips were ok but there were a lot of them. The salad was mostly red onion with a sliver of lettuce and a tiny bit of tomato and cucumber. I know a lot of places put onion in salads nowadays but this was pretty much all onion which made the whole meal smell of onions (which I guess is ok if you like them but I don't). My son had a vegetable burger which came with chips and beans. He at all the beans but didn't want the chips. He at about half the burger but wasn't keen on it. I tasted it and found it a bit spicy. The burger itself was too big for my child. I'm not complaining about the portions as they were very generous although the chicken in our meals was drowned by the pile of chips and onion and I prefer the main part of my meal to be the main part. The service was slow and it was an effort to get someone to serve us but when we were served, the staff were very nice. The pub was clean and the outside was nice although they advertise an adventure play area for kids but there is actually just a static wooden train (which my son liked very much) and the same old bit of grass behind the garden. However, I was impressed by the fact that while smoking is allowed outside, there is a "non-smoking" gazebo in the garden.
