We were staying nearby and had researched this place on Tripadvisor so knew the locality to the hotel had v little to offer. We booked a table on Saturday afternoon for dinner Saturday evening 8pm. We battled the snow for the short drive and loved the initial view of the pub from the road. We received a warm greeting from the Landlord Rob and felt like we'd stepped back in time. They had a roaring fire on and a very busy dining area with delightful smells wafting our way. There was a good choice of hand pull beer and lager and the staff were actually stood polishing the glasses! We sat in the bar area while our table came free and exchanged a bit of chat with the landlord and locals. The decor is very sympathetic to the original footprint of the building and its not trying to be anything but a good local pub offering good food- something they are getting wonderfully right! We had been given the menu to browse over while waiting and the choice of food on offer on the menu and from the 'specials blackboard' was a sight to behold. We were seated and had finally made our choice :- Rabbit 'pasty' and Pheasant for Mr Haddock goujons & Shin of beef for me The service was second to non and the food was wonderful. The 'pasty' was packed full of rabbit and the pastry very nicely cooked The haddock was a good solid fillet with very light tasty batter The Pheasant was cooked to perfection and served in a cream sauce and my Shin of beef was a delight. Served with plenty of veg and a creamy mash I left v little on the plate. We had a look at the dessert menu (well, it's rude not to!) and just had to polish the meal off with one each. Mr had Chocolate parfait & I the good old reliable Sticky Toffee Pudding! Again, faultless! We were not rushed in the slightest and the staff were attentive while giving us plenty of time. All the food provided out to the other diners was superb looking and I'd say 99% of plates were cleared! We returned back for lunch on the Sunday and I had Lamb Sunday lunch and the Mr Duck breasts, again, all super! The only criticism for this place is too much choice! That, and the way the dining area is laid out there is one area where you cannot see the great 'blackboard' menu and may feel a little out of the way. If you are ever in the area, definitely go as the greeting,setting and food are second to none!

Never have I enjoyed the company of strangers as I did that day (especially considering that we stopped in for a pint and found ourselves there for 6 six hours)

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. The portions are huge and I'm always left with enough food for another meal but save room for the Holly Bush sundae because you wont ever have a such a selection of tasty locally made ice cream :) The prices are great too, last time I went it was around 30quid for the 2 of us.

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.

This Inn turned pub mainly caters to barge travelers who motor up and down the canal between Oxford and Rugby. Only main gripe was that the service was REALLY slow. It took 65 minutes for us to receive our food (3 people). But when we did, we were not disappointed at all. It's hard to say bad things about a place when the food is so darn good. Fish and Chips, Buffalo Burger, and Fish Pie are absolute winners. The owner is originally from the Netherlands and very accommodating. If you're in this area of Warwickshire, and you have a couple of hours to spend during lunch, I highly recommend the food here. Very cozy.
