Arrived but they had no record of the booking. They easily accommodated us but made it feel like it was our fault (even though they said it happens regularly and we should have called to confirm, ironic given it does not say this on the website). Waitress seemed a little snooty at first, though not sure what we did wrong. Anyway another waitress who was quite pleasant took our order. Started with some good bread served with oil and vinegar. As a starter, could not decide between charcuterie and rock oysters so ordered two oyster and duck roulette. The oysters were good with an interested dip though a little gritty but the duck was awesome. One of the finest starters I have ever had. I heaping plate of tender and flavorful duck. For a main, I had the ox cheek bourguignon. Initially had regretted offering it as there were some great option on the menu but when I had my first bite I was won over. It was fantastic. A huge piece of meat, tender, served with mashed potatoes and green beans. The bourguigon sauce was incredible, rich and delicious, prompting me to eat every bite of mashed potato (I'm normally not a potato guy). For dessert, I had baked alaska. Other than my wife's comments that I had returned to the 1970s, it was a very good rendition. All the other desserts, especially the lemon tart, looked fantastic. The only issue is the lemon did arrive with a fingerprint on it, though the once snooty waitress did quickly replace it. Overall, a wonderful meal.

This was not ideal for our group celebration. The individual who appeared to be in charge was very curt about the seating. There is a 40BPS minimum per person stated on the bottom of the menu. That's an easy amount to reach, however they also limit what you can order! Many of the lighter starters and sides sounded appealing, but the offered selection of mains was limited. We were not permitted to order any sides unless we ordered a main (which we did not want). I have never before experienced such a restriction. We decided not to stay, paid our booking fee and went up the street where we had a wonderful selection and delicious food.

I didn't have high expectations for a small hotel restaurant on the main drag of a tourist town, but the Croft pleasantly surprised me by holding its own. The inside is clean and fairly modern, and as it is a sit-down restaurant there was table service. Our order was taken quickly and food arrived promptly. I had the fish & chips, a solid British pub standby, and was served a generous portion of breaded crispy fish alongside a bucket of thick, piping hot chips. My friend ordered the burger and raved about its freshly baked bun. Local ale and cider was on the menu and I tried a bottle of Cotswolds Gold, which was a nice, mellow beer. We had a very pleasant, unhurried lunch of tasty food and hyper-local drink, right in the heart of Bourton. The Croft may be in prime tourist territory, but it's not resting on its laurels.

But really who goes to a pub in England and not order fish and chips. This is the place to do so. They do have a restaurant but I believe you need a reservation for that.

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.

Kiddo ordered hot chocolate with marshmallows and a chocolate cake. The cake itself was soft and moist and not overly sweet. Went well with the tea and hot chocolate. The hot chocolate seemed standard and she seemed to like it. The place is not overly pricey for a touristy place. Service was also good and friendly.
