    A fabulous Sunday lunch! We were a party of 11, gathering for a special occasion. Communication with booking and preordering was friendly and easy. We were given a lovely welcome on arrival, good service throughout, and enjoyed the most delicious Sunday roast. Meat was tender and vegetables perfectly cooked. Selection of lovely starters. Any extra requests were met willingly. The ambiance and surroundings in the Kings Arms were both warm and stylish (including the toilets and toitetries) -especially appreciated by the family down from London and most discerning friends :) Exceptional, thank you!

    Wonderful ambiance. Food was very tasty, a tapas style. It came out as it was cooked so you were interrupted a bit, but meant that food stayed hot, it made you try different dishes as they came out you could add extra if still hungry

    First time tasing the new menu and it was honestly amazing! We had the taster menu and every course was spot on. We love this place due to not only the food, but the ambience and the service is friendly.

    The food was exceptionally good! Also, very rare for Canterbury, but the interior was really good too! Loved every bit of it. We were greeted by Kim. She was wonderful. Got our orders in no time and their bar has some great options too! Loved the Mumbai mashup cocktail, would definitely recommend!
