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.

Hot and hearty, served with crusty baguette and butter. The second person in our party had coffee and a warm BLT, and raved about the bacon. Their menu is quite exciting, and the plan is come here for breakfast tomorrow. Great prices, which are probably because of high turnover of repeat local customers. So glad we are here!

They call it a New Yorker burger, however, like many places there is no difference to the way the burger is cooked. There seams to be nothing about New York in this burger. The good thing is the burger was cooked every well. The chips I am unsure if they are from Iceland supermarket or homemade. Although you can taste the oil that are cooked in. Along with the onion rings they look under cooked. Plus I do not appreciate my chips pre dip in sauce I do not like. The Vegetables soup taste like tined soup from Tesco's with a few extra vegetables. One thing is the atmosphere is nice and traditional English restaurant.

The dining room ouzes comfortable and classy again showing off the best in a dining experience allowing a party of friends and family to a romantic night out very special.

It is spacious and well laid out, it's clean and the facilities are good. Service is quick and the staff are usually very friendly. The only thing that lets down the chip shop; and the reason why it's four stars not five, are the prices. The food is extremely good quality, the selection is excellent, the service is good. In fact everything is excellent apart from the prices, which even though you expect to pay a little more for higher standards this is still a chip shop and the prices are too high for the standards to warrant. I used to go to the chip shop regularly but tend to use Parkinsons or even moby dicks now.

Justified: British chips are healthy. Well. That might be a slight bold-faced lie. But it's not…read moreentirely without a grain of truth. Whilst in England this August, and surrounded by chips, chips and gravy, chips and mushy peas, fish and chips, and sausage and chips, I stumbled upon a few internet articles that broke down the calorie count in typical English fare. (See, a few internet articles! Corroboration! It must be true.) Amongst the standard take-away choices, fish and chips was the healthy choice. But the standard take-away consisted of Indian curry, donner kebab, Chinese, pizza, and fish and chips. In other words, fish and chips were the least likely to cause a heart attack, although all were more certain to cause a heart attack than a home cooked meal. And a home cooked meal does NOT include popping several frozen dinners into the oven/microwave. Just like home made custard does not mean adding Byrd's powder to real milk. Back to my justified article. Vis-a-vis American fries, the British chip had less fat because the chip is bigger. Thus, less surface area-to-volume of potato. Ok. That's really the only scientific part. And even that's not really science. Or a justification. But what was I going to do? I was in a small, country town, full of sensible people that liked local produce, surrounded by fields and cows, and 4 fish and chips shops. And every restaurant served some version of fish and chips. I couldn't get away from chips. When I closed my eyes, puppet chips would sing and dance. In the shower, I found myself humming a chip-eating song. The wrought iron bars of St. James church looked like chips. I ate here at least twice. Twice that my BF knows about. It may have been more frequent than that but at this time, I can neither confirm nor deny those reports. The fish was big. Length of my arm big. Haddock. Delicious. Fried fish is amazing. One big downside is that the fried fish is COMPLETELY UNSEASONED! You have to douse it with salt like a vicar exorcizing demons with holy water. And in order to get the salt to stick, you have to spray the filet with vinegar like a tom cat marking new territory. And in order for the vinegar to penetrate the beautiful, breaded, fried exterior, you MUST repeatedly stab the crunchy coating with a fork. The fish and chips come in a sturdy cardboard box with a layer of chips underneath the massive haddock. After I performed the salting ritual as stated above, I had a lovely pile of salt in all 4 corners, and NONE ON MY CHIPS or fish. I was forced to break off a piece of fish, dip it in salt, and let it all come together as I chewed. I was laughed at when I put pepper on my fish.
