Unlike virtually any pub I have ever experienced in the U.K. you have to wait to be seated (as if it is something special!) and immediately you are seated you are asked what you want to drink - slowed her down so that I could look at the menu. Here was a big warning sign and I should have walked out - the menu was a mass produced thing from Marstons (the brewery serving many pubs in the area) and the name of the pub itself never mentioned anywhere. Not heeding the warning I went to the bar to order our food - no we have to wait until served (very quiet afternoon). Go and sit like a good boy and wait. Give our order and in record time the generic tasteless food appears. I expected so much more from a steak and prestige ale pie than what I got. I expected something like any decent pub in England serves - an individual pie, maybe puff pastry and lovingly prepared but what I got was (drum roll) two sorry thin slices of a larger generic pie of sorts fresh out of something (the microwave would be my guess) totally tasteless gravy, tasteless fries and peas. I had to drown everything in pepper to even get it in my mouth and saw another poor customer doing the same. My wife's fish and chips was the worst she has ever had in England - her thought was that it was all cooked in older fat? She also was liberally adding pepper. No one ever came to ask if we were enjoying our meal and we weren't even asked a word when we paid to hurry up and get out of the place. Would I return - absolutely not!

For quality local food at seriously cheap prices and served by the most friendly staff I have come across . Nothing was too much trouble for them , the chips are unbelievable fresh home made and never seen a freezer in their life - so unusual these day's . I would recommend the daily specials Pork belly was amazing and the Cod was huge with crisp batter and real mushy peas. My friend had mushroom stroganoff with a rich creamy sauce and fresh herbs ,made especially for her as a veggie special . They lit the log fire just for us , the atmosphere was fantastic with a gorgeous bottle of Fleurie our log fire and delicious home cooked food we were in heaven and so relaxed. The only thing they didn't have was a bed for us to stay over , however they booked us into a nearby hotel and we returned for lunch the next day which was just as wonderful . WELL DONE TO ALL AT THE HORNS !

The staff were all very welcoming, and we were all really impressed with the friendly, efficient service. The menu was full of English comfort foods...and they executed everything beautifully. Just look at my photos to get an idea...I tried the goats cheese and caramelised onion strudel, which came balanced on potatoes and perfect ratatouille. If you ever find yourself in this part of the country, it is definitely worth popping in here for some lunch! *Pro tip: It sounded like they get very booked up in the evening, so ring ahead to ensure you get a table!!

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.

Shortly after finding a table in the late morning the crowds came in. If you plan on coming with a large group I recommend calling ahead to get reservations. They were serving the breakfast/brunch menu during our seating. I opted for the bacon pancakes. The food is presented just beautifully like the perfect instagram photo. And it tastes just as good. If you are a tea drinker you must order a pot just for the cute factor. All teapots come out dressed in little tea cozys. I wonder if they sell them as they all look homemade. My only complaint is that the food came old on the cold side. Perhaps it was due to how crowded it was, but it was like the food had been sitting out for a while. Regardless it still tasted amazing. I think prices for the Plough are affordable. If you have an Independent Birmingham card you receive a discount so keep that in mind. They have a beer garden out back that must be wonderful on sunny days..if we ever get any. I really want to get back there for lunch or dinner. And maybe try a cocktail if they have any. If you're ever in Harborne try it out.

The menu is full of proper pub food which is not trying to be something is it not. It serves honest home cooked food not like the usual chain pubs. We had fish and chips the fish was nice big beer battered and cooked just right so the fish was nice and moist and the chips were like what my nan used to cook. And we had a Chicken pie which we asked what as in it and were told just Chicken and tarragon but the chef can put in mushrooms is you like. So that tells you it is not a ping pub. The chicken in the pie was tender and very flavoursome and the veg and chips again were excellent. They have different themed nights like Ruby Tuesday for a curry and chippy tea for a Friday. All in all the pub was clean and well laid out, toilets were very clean with a very large picture of a fly fisher man on the wall (Bit strange). Staff were lovely and very attentive. All in all an excellent experience and I will say we will defiantly visit again as it is only two villages away might get a taxi next time and have a nice relaxing night out.
