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.

The sea bass is also really good. Finally dessert is yummy too - I particularly like the sponge pudding which they were nice enough to give me with custard and icecream! Seriously go hungry - you will want 3 courses - especially for only 20 quid!

The drive to the restaurant was lovely and scenic, going down dark and winding country roads until suddenly we drive around a corner and The Devonshire Arms appeared! We'd got there a little early and we sat down by the bar for some drinks. The menu was displayed on a chalkboard by the seating area and it all looked yummy! The dining area was quite small but very nice and cosy. The kitchen was open and you could see the chefs chopping and cooking away which I quite liked. I chose the rabbit and pheasant terrine with grape chutney as my starter; it came with onion bread and the slice of terrine was huge! I really wanted to finish it, but I couldn't as there was no way I'd be have enough room for my main! For the main, I had venison steak served with new potatoes (usually served with mash which I couldn't have as it had milk/cream in it) and braised red cabbage. The steak was pink and cooked to perfection and the red cabbage was sweet but with a little tart edge to it. I didn't have a dessert but the rest of the party did - my boyfriend had a deconstructed banana cheesecake and his sister had a brownie (I overheard her saying it was the best brownie she'd ever tasted!). All of the staff were really nice, especially the lady who served us that night, she was really lovely and very attentive. The Devonshire Arms fully deserves it's awards and hope it gets more in the future. If you're ever around the Sheffield area and want to venture out of the city centre for some food make sure you come here. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect meal.

We called in at the request of the owner to update my review as the property changed hands some time ago. I'm pleased to be able to see that everything appeared in good order, including the once tired car park. The bar area is tiny, only one table and a couple of chairs, so this is now very much a foodie pub rather than a local's drinking establishment. The restaurant area isn't huge, probably around 45 covers, and on the evening we called was very busy so reservations are recommended. There is a lunch time and evening menu, but there is a huge overlap between them. We called in the evening where there was a standard menu and a small specials menu with one starter, two mains and one pudding on it. One of the standard fishcake starters had been changed to a different mix of fish, and one of the standard mains changed during the evening from chicken to guinea fowl, so there does seem to be some additional variation on the menu. I had the crab and prawn fishcake starter, which was tasty and served with a small dressed salad. I followed this with chicken wrapped in bacon Grilled chicken supreme wrapped in smoked bacon and stuffed with pork, leek and herbs served with a sweet creamy Madeira sauce: this came with a choice of potatoes (I went with Gratin) and a mixture of vegetables (green beans, carrots and broccoli). My partner had a fillet steak but asked to change the Rossini-style presentation with pate for a green peppercorn sauce which they happily agreed to. The steak came with green beans wrapped in bacon, sautéed mushrooms and hand cut chips. In general all the food was really pretty good. The steak was a little over-salted and the green beans were burnt at the ends (doesn't show up too clearly in the available light picture) which is disappointing. We finished off with Bailey's Belgian chocolate crème brûlée and a sticky toffee pudding with salted caramel sauce and honeycomb ice cream. Both were very good, although the crème brûlée didn't taste that much of Baileys. Overall it was much better than my previous visit. The food was good, but could be better. Similarly the service was slightly lacking: nobody ever asked us if the food was OK whilst we were eating it, and sometimes getting someone to provide something took a couple of attempts on occasions. Overall worth a look if you want some home cooked good pub grub.

We found the food to be excellent and the service was equally as great. We live close by so we will definitely be coming back again!

I called the manager over and she dismissed it as a burnt piece of potato. After acknowledging that it wasn't a piece of potato, we filed an incident report with the head office. I had to almost shout at them to remove the food from the carvery, they didn't want to do it!! THAT'S NUTS!!! 2 days later, the head office called and asked us to explain the situation. My partner told them how she doesn't want to visit again and had lost trust in eating out. Their response: Here's some coupons to use at our restaurant. What a joke I haven't received any calls back since this and its been a number of days now. I don't think anybody really cares. You know, they used to feed glass to people to off them. If this happens at the Bull Head's, they offer you a food coupon. What a joke! As they didn't reply, and I gave them an ample chance to, I am forced to seek legal representation. I also reported them North West Leicestershire District Council for having a foreign body in their food. Don't trust this place!! I didn't want to leave this review.

Few people made us (with our masks) feel "safe" but sadly the server wore no mask (why?) and then positioned right next to another table with two diners (why?). So I moved us to a more isolated table. I wish I had taken pictures of the food but we were so hungry that we started before I took pics! Mrs G had the sea bass, I had the lasagne. Mrs G enjoyed the small portion of fish served with a few vegetables (small potatoes and small tomatoes as we recall) and mine was a rather mediocre lasagne. One thing we had in common - after eating our meals we were still starving hungry. I suspect that portion sizes have shrunk somewhat compared with our previous experience with other "Ask" diners (which perhaps explains why the restaurant was so empty lunchtime on a Saturday).

Having read the previous reviews and needing a place to go and celebrate our wedding anniversary,…read morewe decided to give the Old Vicarage a try. The Old Vicarage is a grand looking building adjacent to a church in Branston, on the edge of Burton. The whole place as you entered had a touch of class, from relaxing in a lounge area to choose your dishes to being shown to your table only when the starters were ready, we knew we had made the right choice. We had chosen the three course option (£21.95 + supplements), and were shown into an opulent dining area with large tables, amply spaced and tastly furnished. My starter of mixed terrine including guinea fowl and rabbit, with melba toast and a sweet chutney was tasty, without being startling. The main course and dessert however, were a different story. The main of monkfish and prawns in a chilli and garlic based linguini was full of flavour, whilst my wife's seabass was cooked to perfection. Our desserts of lemon tart and a trio of chocolate desserts were arguably even better, probably the nicest white chocolate I have ever eaten! The pacing of the courses was just right and the waiting staff were friendly and helpful. Finishing off with petit fours and coffee in the lounge, it felt like the special occasion we wanted it to be. The Old Vicarage is not cheap, but serves great food in wonderful surroundings.

They deliver to your door if you work in the town cenre, you can pre-order, and they are always laughing and smiling - what more could you want? Oh and they are also of the attitude that they want to gear their business around what the customer wants so they welcome honest feedback and want suggestions of what they are missing on the menu. Quality is of utmost importance to Donna and I have known her throw whole cakes away that she has baked because she thinks they are not 'quite' to standard - even though they have seemed fine to me. All the dishes are prepared by hand by Donna or her small team. The only one little negative I guess is its quite small so you may be pushed to find a seat at busy times, especially outside as there are only a couple of tables.
