Three of us callled in for lunch,just as the pub opened,12noon,we ordered our food at 12.15,and waited until almost 1pm to be served,we were the first to order and be served.The staff were very friendly,the food reasonably priced,and plenty of it,I had the ploughman's which was underwhelming, the ham was good quality but dry the pork pie was last weeks,stale pastry and hard filling,My friends enjoyed their meals which were fish and chips and cajun chicken.

The Kings Arms is such a lovely, historic pub. Service is friendly and the Joules ales snd food are excellent. Food portion sizes are huge, and every element of the dish is fresh and tasty. We had gammon, fish and chips, pies and chips and Shropshire blue mushrooms on toast snd every dish was delicious.

Having parked round the corner in the local car park we had a very warm welcome by the staff. Our 10 month baby enjoyed a clean high chair while the dog tucked into his ice cream. Local ales were good and food was tasty. Thank you to the ladies who waited on our table & made the experience so pleasant.

The starters were huge. I had.oloves and hummus and there was so much..plus two pitta breads. Would have been better as a sharing starter. Husband had Kim prawn starter and said that was lovely too. We then had steak and an extra portion of scampi. Sadly this was underwhelming. 4 pieces of scampi cost an extra £5! The onion rings were so big... not particularly pleasant, and the rest of the food was quite bland. Not worth the price tag in my opinion. Would have been better if a bit of salad or peas added. Just so bland. And no lemon for the scampi, lovely place though and we were undercharged and I informed them accordingly.. just a few added touches would have made the meal spot on.

We arrived at noon, were warmly greeted and settled into a charming booth. Drinks advice was first class and menu options many and varied. The quality of the food was excellent and very reasonably priced. The portion sizes were extremely generous and none of us could finish our meal - the Ploughman's was described as a 'light bite' it is definitely a main meal! We would definitely recommend for a satisfying pub lunch with friendly service.

Unfortunately for others, our dog is very nervous about others, and it can be a problem when out. We said this when we booked, and the staff couldn't have been more helpful and understanding. We were given a table in the corner, and the staff approached with care. The food was excellent, and portion size was a little large for us, but the dog enjoyed the leftovers. Very relaxed atmosphere and comfortable with very professional staff.

Down rated due to the lack of food available and slight ineptness of the staff to cope with business and food situation. 45minute wait for food however I think it may have been a one off. The food that was served was mostly good! 10oz Rump steak for me was cooked perfectly and a lovely cut + the peppercorn sauce was to die for. However the chicken burger - just chicken on a bun. No sauce no butter no nothing. Other meals from the group were good! Busy place with live music in the front and restaurant in the back! Dog friendly in the pub AND restaurant!

The pub looked so small and crowded from the outside, I avoided going until the Monday of my stay arrived and everwhere else was closed. How I wished I'd tried it sooner! There is a large dining area to the rear of the main bar, and was immediatedly accommodated by the welcoming staff. All of of the team were helpful and pleasant, with a good range of pub classic choices, plus a few more unusual dishes. Portions were plentiful to put it mildly! All carefully cooked and easily digested. This place certainly turned out to be the most reliable choice in town!

There's nothing we craved more than ending the walk with a decent meal. And while there's lots of options to choose from in Church Stretton, we lucked out with first choice of the Kings Arms, because they were serving exactly what we were after. Pie. We were pleasantly surprised that this wasn't all they had going for them. Decent selection of beer, nice warm interior that filled up quick in the bar area, but then an even bigger restaurant and outdoor earlier out the back. Of course, the steak and ale pie was exceptional, served with gravy, chips and a generous portion of veg. Just what we were after. Special mention to the lads serving in the restaurant. Actually some of the best service we've experienced. Thanks a lot!

If the only way your kitchen is able to test a steak is to cut into it and allow all the juices to escape.. at least check the thickest part to ensure its actually cooked and not raw. It's pretty basic stuff.

Stopped for a drink on our mini tour of Shropshire . More of an historic local pub than anything else. When we arrived we were told that there's a BBQ later as part of the celebrations,so no food. The town is celebrating I think an 800yr anniversary so had flags out of Lords house's of the local area. Had stopped for a bit of lunch and didn't want to stay for hours so we moved on.

It was a good job that the food was outstanding. I very nearly walk out after being overlooked twice while trying to order food at the bar. The bartender finished pumping through a new barrel and proceeded to look over a lady who stood at the bar next to me and asked two I assume regulars for their order behind us,who had just walked up to the bar that second. It was one of these guys that said, " Have you been served" to the lady in front. For the bar worker to realise the lady needed serving. Then she overlooked me by serving the regulars, and then a man sat at the bar who had only just finished his drink if he was having the same again. I had to interrupt by asking if I was in the right place to order food before I was finally served. The food did arrive promptly and was exceptional for a pub in a small town. There wasn't any soap in the gents, so I had to use the disabled toilet to wash my hands.
