Best kept secret in the area. This 16th century pub/restaurant is run by a lovely couple (Dave and…read moreJackie) who make you feel welcome every visit. My wife and I have been coming here for nearly three years now and the food is still the best around. Sometimes you may have to wait due to everything being cooked fresh to order but it is well worth the wait. Look out for the specials board which has some of the unusual dishes not normally seen in other restaurants.

having eaten at both inn on the green and the black horse with my family recently if were talking…read moreabout comparisions there isnt one lets start with the service the inn on the green provides professional service and standards that we have not experienced in a long time at a village pub very impressed. as for the black horse half the staff were outside smoking when we arrived and the language was disgusting even if we didint have our children with us and thats why we was probably waiting ages for any service, we could have come between there smoke breaks if was told when that was. lets talk about food the inns web site is totally correct fresh food and some grown on the premises as i saw for myself it was very well cooked and just as well presented again down to the service again very impressed. the black horse how ever not alot fresh im afraid and would of been nice for all our family to eat together instead of in stages and it was not busy at all so no excuse there. down sides for both places.....The inn on the green, cud nt find one on our visit great value for money and all the awards they have won totally earned including a great review in the journal for february recently. the black horse, bad news quite alot overpriced including drinks, service very poor, language outside and inside very offensive and no need at all and obviously allowed by the management, very dissapointed. Will say they have a very nice outside patio area. good for kidz. as for the last review i dont no how many places they eat at in a day because they ate at the inn on the green on there web reviews and also ate at the black horse on there site to same day interesting. m.banks

Friendly staff, good atmosphere but sadly the food we ordered was not good …read more Chicken was so so dry,I really think it had been sat around for a couple of days. Ordered jacketed chips and got ordinary luke warm chips. Salad was a tiny amount of rocket with a few tiny pieces of tomato and onion. (Hoping I don't get ill) We did tell the staff as they asked, but was not taken any further. Sadly we will not be returning and we only live around the corner. (Was hoping to be a regular.)

Plus Two well Selected Guest Ales for the Beer connoisseur {presently each at £2.80 / Pint} These Being [at the time of Review], *They alter 1 - Mallards 'Duck n Dive' 3.7% Golden Hop 2 - Vale Hadda's Winter Solstice 4.1% (Copper) The Environment : Clean Lined at front, at bar. Eating and Relaxation zones to each side. round to the right-side of bar to rear, you come to the Eating Area., airy and comfortable. beyond [outside at rear] is a raised Patio that has been used to Site a Marquee, which serves as Weather Safe Outer-Area and also a Wedding [post bar and reastaraunt] collection area, suitable for general mixing, photo's etc. Garden Zone : a) to the rear-side of Marquee is the Ducks and Rabbits area, that the kids will be very fond of, keeps them entertained, as well as Parental/Adults alike. b) the seated/garden area has kids play equipment and park-benches for outside weather warming quaffing. c) front of Pub to car-park zone are also wooden seating. it is here i personally really like, right by the side of the road! The Full Moons Main Feature [Village Character] You enter the village by a Lane, and the Pub sits by the 'very under used Lane' where you can sit Front of House, and imagine a Cart to Roll By any minute!! The exit from the village, is again by a Lane. If you then so wish. From here you can go 1 Riverside., to a well situated, but [in my opine] a lesser quality Public House, But Luvverly Situation. 2 Go to Southwell, where you can continue your Ale-fuelled revelry. 3 Find other local-village bars of note [ie, Bleasby], but your own discovery is this option. pps., i cannot assess the 'nosh' as i havnt imbibed as yet. by all accounts very good.

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.
