   This pub is outstandingly beautiful. I’d be happy to sit there for hours just looking! As with the others in this group inside and out are a delight. So I’d go back just for that. The menu looks interesting but I think sometimes the results didn’t quite live up to the expectations. Perhaps it was a bad day for the chef - I longed to be able to write a rave review. The service was quiet and good - not the very friendly ( too friendly?) service in the sister Tiger. We will go again to hopefully be able to write that rave hooray!

   Enjoyed a special lunch today with some friends. Love the environment at this venue. Very cosy too with both log burners going. Service was fast and food delicious. Will come again!

   As always it’s a delight to go to the Kings Arms for any occasion. Last night it was for my Husband and Sins birthday - yes same day! The evening was without exception lovely. Food delightful with a new menu since our last visit which wasn’t that long ago and the service top notch. Well done crew at the KA.

   Beautiful and quirkily renovated old pub. Loved the fires in the big barrels and the little booths to sit in. Lovely atmosphere. Service great. Food good if a little pricey.

   Quality of food was superb, full of flavour and very well presented. The ambience was lovely, relaxing and we spent a great couple of hours relaxing over Sunday roast. Definitely recommend

   Atmosphere, food, service were top notch. Would highly recommend the kings Arm. The owners make you feel very welcome and nothing is to much for them, they accommodate to your every need. We stayed in the cockpit cottage right next to the pub and were very impressed at the standard by which it has been refurbished. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

   Amazing food yet again at the king's Arms. Best starter, Crispy pork bites with sweet and hot sauce, followed by the best liver and bacon I have ever eaten. Delicious raspberry cheesecake for desert. The presentation is detailed and superb. Service was excellent, smooth, friendly and super efficient. We both felt that for such brilliant, quality food and a great all round experience, the price was excellent! Many, many thanks.

   We’ve eaten here many times. We were given menus but not the “Light Bites” menu, this has happened previously. We asked for the menu and were handed a beer mat with I think 3 choices on it, one of them bring the chicken and bacon ciabatta that we’d had and enjoyed before. I wasn’t impressed with the beer mat menu, indeed it was almost as if they were saying “here you are, peasants!” The person serving us was sloppily dressed and reached over both of us to grab the salt & pepper without an excuse me. Overall, I wasn’t impressed which is a real shame.

   Dear Linda, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m very sorry that your recent experience did not meet the high standards we strive for. Our 'Light Bites' menu has recently changed to a 'Bar Menu' this is the reason for it to be on coasters. Regarding your concern about the owner’s appearance, please know that our team are usually dressed in a professional manner, but on that particular day, the owner was off duty, enjoying a family lunch. However, we experienced a busy period and our staff needed assistance, the owner immediately stepped in to help, ensuring that things ran smoothly. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we hope to have the chance to welcome you again soon for a better experience. Many Thanks, Megan - Assistant Manager
