The haddock cakes and the ploughman's lunch were really tasty and reasonably priced (£7.50 and £6.50 respectively, May 2014). They have a steak night on Thurs for £11 (they suggest calling ahead) that includes a glass of wine, as well as a Trivia night on Tuesdays. If you're coming from Cambridge, it's a great bike ride on a sunny day alongside the Guided busway and then on the 10,000 strips genome trail.

Fantastic on every level!…read more The service is top notch and everything we ate was just absolutely delicious. I had their crispy pig face, mini arincini, 60-day aged sirloin (which they age themselves), triple fried chips, and rocket salad. Also their rosemary focaccia bread was phenomenal. It was like crack in bread form. I also had a great beer on cask as well as a glass of their Nero D'Avola from Sicily which went perfectly with my steak. Speaking of the steak, it was perfectly cooked medium rare and had a very crisp and flavorful exterior. My friends said their doughnuts are to die for here, but unfortunately we didn't leave enough room after the wonderful feast we had. Next time! The atmosphere is pub/cottagey with loads of character. I really look forward to returning here on future visits.

Tuesday evening is a good night to go as they do a special top and tail evening. you pay for the main course and get a free starter and pudding - FANTASTIC VALUE. The food is always served in a timely manner. The pub is split into several areas which is nice if there is a larger group of you. There is also accomodation available - I have never used this, but it was a new addition a couple of years ago so is probably of a good standard.

The current owners have created more of a restaurant-pub atmosphere. The food is absolutely great for a village pub, admittedly mostly at restaurant prices, but definately worth it. The staff are friendly and the service good, dishes delivered quickly and the quality of food great. The previous owners always had lock ins, but these don't seem to happen as often now.

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 got strange live music, a pool table, a beer garden, free newspapers, a small but decent selection of beers, seating on the street, bar billiards (sometimes) and... thousands of pigs. That's right - this dark but warm little pub is brimful of random pig toys, pig posters and pig sculptures. It adds a unique atmosphere to an already well-known atmospheric pub. Being only about 20 houses away, you can trust me that this is a true local gem. After 5 on most nights you'll find this place packed with drinkers who can't be bothered to go home just yet or catch the train home to the villages. Even if it's near-freezing out you'll still see us taking our beers out and sitting on the grass by the BBC next door so that the smokers can smoke away. And on a hot summer night - it's just perfect. No need to go home until I get thrown out.
