We booked for a Sunday lunch there was four of us and we were all very happy with our meals and the service. The roast rib of beef was absolutely delicious one of the nicest roast dinners I've had in a long time, a generous...portion of beef, perfect roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and a lovely selection of perfectly cooked veggies. We were all so full we didn't have room for dessert. We'll definitely be back for a return visit !More

Had a lovely meal with friends at this charming pub. We received a friendly greeting upon arrival from the bar staff and were then looked after by the attentive waitress who ensured that we had a relaxing evening. When enquiring about the dairy free options...on the menu I was impressed by the willingness of the chef to adapt my order to ensure it had no milk. The meals were freshly cooked and piping hot and were very filling. I’ve driven past this pub many times and never had an opportunity to visit but I’m glad I did. Well worth a visit if you are passing in the future.More

Ordered a meal that was described as “ample” portion, I.e. a large meal was offered on the menu too. Went for the ample portion, it was just about a starter portion, and very over priced. Shame as the place is smart and well set up....Even more disappointing was that when we discussed our issue with the very nice waitress, the manageress did not even have the courtesy to come and speak to us. We won’t return!!More

I just phoned to ask if you had a table available today and the man who answered the phone didn’t respond and after about 1 minute the phone cut off. So I tried to call again and the same man answered and said rudely we...don’t serve at that time (the time I was trying to book for was 3pm) I have since checked on the website and you do serve food until 4pm so that was a lie. If you do not have any tables available just say that please, do not lie to your customers.More

What a lovely place to stop for refreshment. We were travelling across country when quite by chance we came upon this fine establishment. On the menu was lamb shanks and they were great. Lip smacking good. My travelling companion had the chicken which she said...was lovely. Fed and watered we continued on our way refreshed and in good spirits. I throughly recommend this great Inn.More

We came down for a birthday get away, the room was clean, modern, comfy bed and lovely bathroom! Staff couldn't be more accommodating and friendly, did everything to help us out esp opening the kitchen again when our car broke down so we could have...dinner, which was delicious 😋 Will definitely be back and be recommending! Thankyou so much!More

We were attending a wedding locally, checked in at 1.30 and asked to put bags in another guest's room(from the same wedding) not given key as it was before check in time of 2pm. When we arrived back from wedding at 10pm, place was in...darkness, with no obvious contact. Rang pub number to be told by landlord that we should have checked in earlier. I explained I'd been there at 1.30 that afternoon and no-one had mentioned the place closed at 9pm. Landlord begrudgingly appeared in dressing gown with keys. Then gave another guest from our wedding party the same treatment an hour later.More

I was staying over for a conference nearby and needed a place to stay. Not having any experience of the area, I had read the reviews below and booked in. I didn’t realise I had booked a room above the pub until I had arrived...but was able to upgrade to one of the new rooms which have recently been built. These are beautifully done with unrestricted views out onto a arable field making for the most pleasant morning and evening vistas. The sound of the main road is still audible but not enough to disturb you. With modern furnishings and a comfortable bed, it has made for a most enjoyable stay. The staff were very welcoming and very accommodating given I changed rooms and were very happy to answer any questions I had. The outdoor space is clearly cared for and it seems popular with the locals for food and drink.More

For those of us who appreciate good food this is the place. Their ale was at the right temperature and the food was delicious. I opted for the lamb shank cooked by mum who also brought out extra gravy the vegetables were also of generous...portions. The kings Arms is a gem of a place and one I shall return to without doubt. My partner also enjoyed her veggie burger 🍔 It was a most pleasant lunch in the middle of a busy day.More

Do not eat here. It’s a great “locals” pub if you’re local and stopping for a couple of beers after work but if you are coming here to stay and expecting good food think again. Starter and main sent back. Then left sat at a...table for 25 minutes. The only person in the eatery area on a table. Eventually I caught the eye of a member of staff and presumed the kitchen was closed (20:30) I asked at 20:30 bearing in mind I was sat there for 25 minutes with no waiting staff tending to me or even acknowledging me. When I went to pay for my bill they said sorry and thought I was finished…. If I was finished then I would of settled my bill with you because you would have acknowledged I was was finished. Not ghosted me because I sent your food back… I chose this place because I was sick of premier inn and that lack of standard and quality… Yet here I am in the same place. I work away a lot and I’m just sick and tired of all this lack of decency and quality. Is it me? Am I wrong? Or am I expecting far too much from hospitality and “chefs” Or should I say microwave chefs 🤷🏻‍♂️ At least the chips were actually cooked this time. 5 different hotels and I guess this is the first one where the chips were actually cooked… What is going on in this country, I mean, seriously? Why doesn’t anyone give a sh1t anymore 😞 If you are a chef then you should love food. Love what you do and desire to see that “melt” on customers faces when they first bite into your food. We melt and make “that face” when we taste the most amazing food. No one cares anymore. Next time I’ll book premier inn and expect disappointment 😏More

My daughter booked Sunday lunch for four adults and one two year old. On arrival it looked like we were the only guests. The menu was quite minimal and my son in law didn’t really fancy anything on the menu. However we were there now...and just make do. Well we are very glad we did. The staff were exceptional, and the food was like great home cooking. We was the only ones there because it was at the tail end of their service, and the staff has been working flat out. All in all a great meal , very friendly but professional staff. 10 out of 10More
