    I ate here 2 months ago and it was awful. I should have known it would be a nightmare as i have had…read moreproblems here before but we thought we'd try it and the food was overpriced, microwaved and generally terrible. On my previous visit, i had struggled to pull up a high chair with my daughter and bag under my arm, the lady who worked there just sat there with her friend watching, once i managed to get myself sorted and get my daughter fed the lady came over and told me i couldn't sit there as the table was reserved (it was 3.30 on a quiet afternoon, all of 3 other people in the place) i couldn't believe how rude she was, she said she was the manager as well ! when i said 'thanks a lot' under my breath she started having a go at me, we vowed never to go in there again. Food is generally £10 per head, fish dishes from £14, a bit pricey for poor food and poor service. I have given this place 2 stars as they do have a gated area outside that is good for children to play in the summer, however you are not allowed to eat anything more that a starter out there and that generally causes them an inconvieniance !

    I used to be a huge fan of this place but it has really gone down hill. We visited last week and…read moreour meal was appalling. Upon arrival we noted that the tables were sticky, there were children gambling on the fruit machines and the whole place seemed chaotic. The chap on the opposite table was in the process of sending his steak back as it was inedible. We should have left at that point in hindsight. Our starters never arrived and having heard the other complaints regarding the food we decided to go without them and move onto the mains. My meal wasn't even cooked?! The meat on my brothers mixed grill was inedible and my husbands pie was 98% mash! To add insult, the meals had clearly been sitting under a heat lamp for quite some time as the lettuce on the salads was brown and slimy. We asked to speak to the 'manager' who could not have cared less and didn't seem to understand why we were complaining. She just stared at my father with a vacant look on her face. She made no attempt to apologize and seemed to think that this was nothing out of the ordinary. To make matters worse, when I said that the the whole meal was awful and older waitress collecting drinks at the bar turned and laughed at me! I'm so glad she found our ruined family meal so funny. I can only imagine that they are under new management as standards have really slipped. The kitchen needs a visit from environmental health if they think that sending out un cooked food and off smelling meat is acceptable. I have made a formal complaint to the brewery in the hope that they can intervene and save what was once a lovely pub.

    Four of us had a wonderful dinner here last night. The food was delicious and the service was…read more10/10! We will definitely be returning soon.

    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.

    It's superb. Simple as that. I went last night. £14.50 for 3 courses! Pretty much everything is…read morehome made. We are just at the beginning of asparagus season - so that's what I ordered. Asparagus, wrapped in Parma ham topped with a golden tolled egg. Delicious. For the main, I went for home made corned beef hash. Brined brisket of beef, slow cooked with beetroot, (mainly to add colour), with a perfect egg on top. 10/10. It's not of the evening menu - apparently it's not good enough - but IF you ask nicely.... Desserts are known to be great here. You won't get a better chocolate brownie. Last night I went for an orange/almond cake with orange coulis/sauce. Brilliant. Please try this place. It's incredible value for money and excellent food.

    This pub is a must visit. Three course Sunday lunch for £15!…read more I'm not talking about a few pieces of melon followed by a limp piece of grey meat and a scoop of ice-cream, this is real quality. There were easily three choices for each course which sounded delicious, making it really tough to choose. Most of my family chose to pay a supplement for the belly pork which was well worth it cause it looked delicious. I had roast beef which was also excellent. Additionally a decent choice of real ales and a comfortable bar area for pre/post drinks. For the price I literally can't imagine a better menu, it was excellent. My dad's only gripe was that vegetable sides didn't come with all the meals only the roast, but they happily provided extras when asked.
