    At last the Kings Arms is back open. We decided to go and have a meal to try the food out. We had the fish and chips and we were not disappointed very large fish nice chunky chips little pot of mushy peas and tartare sauce. Very tasty cooked to perfection £17 which I thought was very good . We are going to try another dish on a different day. They have specials in the week from Tuesday to Friday. After meeting my wife in the same pub 39 years ago was nice to go back. The staff was very nice and friendly as well.

    Beautiful venue, menu not great for a la carte Saturday evening…. Very Overpriced for the quality of the food, nothing fresh, service was good but discretionary 13% added automatically not warranted for the setting or the food. Wouldn’t recommend unless you are fine with mediocre at gastro prices. all in all there are many fabulous eating places in the area choose another is my recommendation

    The food was delicious and the service very attentive. However I was not keen on a tv in the dining area, some background music would have been more appropriate. They already have a tv in the bar area for those that choose to watch. In all was a lovely place and the tapas very tasty. We will certainly be returning.

    Hi Barbara, Thank you so much for taking the time to review the Kings Arms and for giving us a wonderful four star review. I will pass your comments onto the team. I'm sorry the TV was imposing, we are more than happy to switch it off in the dining room as we want our guests to enjoy their time with us. We really look forward in welcoming you back very soon. Kind Regards, The Kings Arms team
