Crown Carvery The King's Arms in Cheltenham

We celebrated my husband's 80th birthday and the staff decorated a room for us beautifully and provided a special birthday cake. The food, wine, atmosphere and service were wonderful and it was all reasonably priced (£213.00 for 5 of us). Many thanks to you all for giving us such a lovely evening.

Visiting family nearby who had visited here previously and recommended it to us. Attentive service and good food. The treacle sponge was excellent. Dogs are welcomed and catered for with a dog menu!

Very nice pub!! We went on Saturday later afternoon. It was quiet so we had our pick of the tables. I was absolutely blown away by the friendly attentive service. The food was really good as well. Other reviews talking about pricing and service charge - this is clearly a premium pub with quality food and service the pricing is not unreasonable for what you pay in most decent pubs or restaurants today. As for the service charge I would have gladly paid more for the fantastic service received. We were made to feel completely welcome, at home and valued throughout our entire time there. Thanks to our wonderful server! We will be back.

I came across this pub whilst searching for a good Sunday roast...this one came up several times and for good reason! We were welcomed in (greeted by every server you passed) and showed to a lovely table tucked away in a corner. Perfect for us (it was a bit too warm outside) and quiet as we were unusually without our children! The service was excellent, attentive without being intrusive. Extremely efficient. We ordered two Sunday roast lunches. The portions were generous and we couldn't fit dessert in despite them sounding tempting! Yes, it's probably on the pricier side of most roast lunches at £20.95 but with good reason. Beef was delicious...and there is unlimited yorkshires, potatoes and gravy! They were busy but they seemed to coping well and our food came without much wait and piping hot. Would gladly recommend and like someone else said, the service is excellent so we had no issue paying service charge. The garden was busy and quite small but the potting sheds looked fun (maybe not on a warm day though!). There is a car park which was packed but we found a space as someone pulled out as we pulled in. Thank you for a real treat!

Celebratory lunch on a Friday , we sat outside as it was so warm and it was a pleasant atmosphere in the garden area , all our food was excellent and the service was great too , friendly and efficient, will definitely go again soon...

Extensive menu but small portions and nothing special. Very disappointing to find a 10% service charge added which was described on receipt as "discretionary" and noted that we could choose not to add this to our bill. Nothing mentioned so a clever little scam by the Kings Arms! Won't be returning

We were here for a memorial service and despite us coming at different times and eating less than we would have liked, we were looked after really well and I couldn’t fault the staff and attention. The food was served so quickly that we soon caught up with the rest of our group. I loved the Cheese soufflé which came with a mini jug of cheese sauce and everyone else said their meals were good too. The car park has two levels and has decent parking spaces. The pub is next to St Mary’s Church, accessed by a tiny lane as you come out of the pub on the right. Beautiful decor throughout and well worth a visit.

Outrageously good food! Such a welcoming, lovely pub that serves gastronomic treats at amazing value! Every dish that came was beautifully presented and just as delicious! Highly recommend a visit here!

We were lucky that the restaurant were able to accommodate us post Gold Cup day. The food is lovely- we both had the mushroom gnocchi. The decor and ambience is stunning and I’d definitely come again when I’m in the area.

Booked in for Sunday lunch as staying locally. Found this wonderful pub after a little research and of course checking out their reviews on Tripadvisor. The food lived up to and beyond expectations along with super welcome and service. Highly recommend. 5⭐️

Visited many times, always spot on with food drinks and outstanding Staff So will certainly visit many more times ! Highly Recommended

We arrived at this pub at 11am as an adult family (we are a handful at the best of times!) as we wanted to watch the Six Nations Super Saturday (3 matches)…. We stayed 8 hours! Staff couldn’t do enough for us! We drank, drank then drank again and ate EVERYTHING! The Chateaubriand is the best I’ve EVER eaten! Absolutely exquisite! A gentleman called Marco from Ellenborough recommended it and it was a fabulous tip off! Utterly delicious food. The server we had (who used to work at The York & Albany in London) was so very lovely - thank you for making us so welcome and catering to our every whim!! I also want to extend thanks to the lovely female manager. Staff and other pub punters were all really friendly. Doing a great job as an establishment and you’re top notch at hospitality. THANK YOU!

Often go with friends for Sunday Lunch - the roast beef and yorkshires and all the veg is awesome - followed normally by sticky toffee pudding. We go out for lunch every 2 weeks and still keep coming back here

Friendly and helpful staff. Variety of meal options. Relaxed atmosphere. Attractive seating areas and a well stocked Bar.

This once tired old pub has undergone a total transformation in recent years and now provides an extensive high quality menu to suit all tastes. Service is efficient and booking online is easy. Staff were very helpful in making sure that my elderly parents could have a convenient table and they were happy to accommodate our large group’s needs. Food was delicious (especially the soufflés) but portions are very small and some of our party remained a bit hungry. Prices are fairly high but the quality justified this.

Enjoyed a late Sunday lunch. The Sunday roast just gets better and better. Service was first class. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon away from the cooking and washing up. Would highly recommend.

We love the Kings Arms, the food is consistently good and the staff are really friendly and efficient. It's a cracking little pub and our go to for Prestbury.

Seven of us celebrated my birthday! main courses and deserts all very good indeed and every single plate and dish was clear! What more can I say, - we all thoroughly enjoyed the food and drinks. Will certainly return v. soon.

Excellent Sunday roast today we throughly enjoyed roast beef. It was all so well cooked, and really tasty with a rich gravey. The service was also excellent with well trained courteous staff. The atmosphere was warm and friendly. The place was very clean too. I can recommend. I have been many times abs never disappointed.

We signed up to the 50% off mains deal. We advised the initial member of staff who took us to our table that we had signed up to the deal .At no time did any server point out deal had to have 2 courses.( THE FLYER POSTED THROUGH OUR DOOR DID NOT MENTION 2 COURSES TO BE ELIGIBLE.) They were quick to tell the diner next to us that Steak wasn't part of the deal. After our meal was cleared away , we waited for an unacceptable time to be offered a Dessert menu ( not my job to go and search one out ) Not forthcoming , so we decided to leave. After receiving the bill ( food definitely not value for money at the full price ) we reluctantly paid , and cancelled a reservation for next week. ( I believe that to be eligible 2 courses purchased should have been on the Flyer.

Great Sunday lunch. Food and service was excellent. Great Aubrey Allen beef cooked pink. Perfect amount of accompaniments delivered with very friendly and proficient service. Great way to spend a a Sunday lunchtime

We went to celebrate a birthday and a retirement. The food was delicious and the menu was much better, more varied and interesting than then standard gastro-pub style menu. Service was prompt and attentive without being intrusive. We had a great evening.

Sunday lunch. Both had Roast Beef. The beef is melt in the mouth perfect. The two courses for £24 is a no-brainer. We both had puds. Chocolate and Cherries. And marmalade Steamed Pud. We couldn't eat a lot in the evening.

Our dining group of about fifteen people had a really enjoyable evening here, the menu is interesting and different, and lives up to expectations. Well done to the kitchen, and also the waiting staff who were absolutely lovely. Certainly recommend this comfortable and attractive pub.

Simply Superb! Excellent food & excellent service. All in a lovely old building. On arrival a member of staff noticed that my parents were both using walking sticks and looking nervously at the top of a short flight of three stairs down prior to a...

Very impressed! Would definitely recommend, service was fantastic, very friendly and warm. Food was beautifully plated and very very tasty! Would recommend the pistachio soufflé! The ice cream scoops were a little on the small side, but can’t fault anything else.

After a name change and extensive online marketing with new menus we went for lunch. Burrata and Crab Bons Bons were nice (pesto a little strong though) Smoked fishcake very good but Grilled Plaice was obviously steamed - tasteless rubber and surprisingly on the bone!...

Friendly & clean, but disappointing. Told staff of seed allergy, starter arrived with 3 out of 4 items containing seeds! Service charge included, so gave us no option. Overpriced

Excellent lunch with great food and service. The menu is fairly varied and the ambience very good. Will definitely be back.

The King's Arms is a couple of notches above your regular dining pub and is a ideal spot to enjoy an intimate meal for 2, a birthday dinner or to catch up with special friends. The food and service were both excellent.

I was extremely unimpressed. The menu is not particularly interesting, the food is no more than average at best, and it is way, way overpriced for what it is. Basically this place is not nearly as good as it is trying to make out. If...

Been here a couple of times over the past couple of weeks once for a roast and once for evening meal and both times have been superb. Took advantage of their 25% voucher when you sign up to the newsletter! Food was delicious especially the...

Excellent food with great service. Great menu choices in a super light and airy space with a nice atmosphere

It’s ok. Lovely seating area outside and the staff were friendly enough, the food is just average and not exactly cheap.

Great for a refreshing seasonal lunch. Lovely surroundings. Super service. Delicious food! Will be back 🥰

We dined at the King's Arms, following a recommendation from our hotel. The online booking process was straightforward and we were greeted by friendly staff. We only had the one course, both opting for the Lamb Roulade. I have to say it was expertly cooked...

My husband and I greatly enjoyed our dining experience at The King's Arms. We were given a professional and friendly welcome from Shek, who was incredibly attentive to our needs, with a kindly and accessible manner. The food was outstanding - particularly the tagine and...

The pub is a typically Cotswold stone building with great original features. Amazing food and drink. Highly recommend.

We used to frequent this venue on a weekly basis to catch up with friends and would always enjoy delicious food and atmosphere. The venue is still the same decor and atmosphere and staff extremely friendly and helpful however unfortunately the food quality has dropped....

We had great food, starters, mains and desserts. All well cooked and presented. We are a family of 2 grandparents, 2 parents and one 13 yr old. We all enjoyed our food which was delicious. We will most certainly be be returning to the Kings...

incredibly cozy atmosphere. very pleasant and tidy employees. the food is extremely tasty. good impressions and emotions. such a place is worth visiting. the design is very nice, one of the best places I've been

Very tasty meal. The only thing which could be improved is the lighting in the area. Even other customers sat in the area struggled with the dullness, they asked to move, but only got offered a smaller table area in the middle of the room...

My fiancée arranged a surprise family meal here for my 60th Birthday. Together with Wayne & Chris's and their staff, she had tables arranged for up to 30 guests and the room decorated for the occasion. The atmosphere was perfect, relaxed and warming here. Our...

Have just left tbe kings Arms. We were bought a virgin experience for the Raymond Blanc brasserie . It did not disappoint The food was amazing. Service great. Would recommend to anyone.

Excellent Sunday Lunch. Every course was so well executed and service was good too. Would really recommend. Very good value for money too. So nice to see a menu with different things on it for a change.

I throughly enjoyed my experience here today. The roast beef was absolutely stunning, cooked fantasticly and the bottomless potatoes and veg is a brilliant extra. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. Andrea was fantastic and so helpful. As...

We've been here a few times, as well as Brasserie Blanc. Normally one of our favourites, and the quality of food is generally very good. Last night's was distinctly average. I had ordered the beef and ale pie, which tasted a bit like school dinners....

Food was excellent, tasty, well presented and the staff are polite , friendly and can’t do enough for you.

Just had fish curry which consisted of a small piece of cod some rice and a curry sauce ( tiny portion & no vegetables). My partner had steak and ale pie which came with mash a glass of ale ( as a driver he could...

A first lunchtime at this pub/Brasserie. The welcome at the desk wasnt exactly fulsome but Eastern Europeans in restaurants I think find it hard to be welcoming. The service was a very strange mix of amateurs - who hired them ? And more importantly who...

Now here is a find, a quality dining experience that welcomes dogs. We have yet to be disappointed and their new 2023 menu has some interesting new dishes. Complimented with good service and a friendly staff we will be back again and again

Couldn’t fault our evening, food, service, ambiance, all excellent. Will be making a regular visit to the Kings Arms.

Decided to make use of the January 50% off voucher and was not disappointed. Chose the ribeye pork which was excellent. Very tender meat and full of flavour. Followed by the pear tart. Again vert tasty. Would of preferred ice cream with this as not...

This really is a first rate pub/brasserie. The staff and food could not be bettered. The pistachio souffle is superb and not to be missed!

I took my elderly parents here for Xmas lunch on Christmas Day and the food.,service and atmosphere was exceptional. We have had Xmas Day lunch over the years at other local pubs/restaurants and hotels but this was by far the best. From the table setting...

We came here for our works Christmas meal and the food was fantastic!! Really good. A lovely restaurant with a log fire too.

One of my favourite pub/restaurants ever. The food is wonderful the service is second to none. I hesitate to give it too good a review, it may get too busy. The only down side - it’s about 130 miles from where I live. Book in...

A lovely friendly atmosphere in this gastro pub . A nice varied menu, with all the finishing touches you would expect from a venue with the name behind it . Food was excellent, and fairly priced . A pistachio soufflé with chocolate ice cream was...

We ate lunch here with friends. The dining room has a pleasant ambience, the service was charming if somewhat inexpert, and the food very acceptable - sadly apart from my choice of St Austell’s beef and ale pie. Having ordered a beef and ale pie...
