Kings Arms in Shropshire

My partner and I, along with 2 other couples, visited this pub after walking carding Mill Valley. We were shown to our table after only a 5 min wait on a busy Sunday and provided with the Sunday lunch menu. There were multiple things out of stock, which wasn't really much of an issue as there were lots of alternatives to choose from (even for our veggies in the group). The waiting staff were friendly, helpful, and obviously apologetic about the missing menu items. The food came quickly and was well portioned among the sharing items for the Sunday lunches . There was also live music within the venue at the time if visiting, which was a very nice surprise! The pricing was also mid range as we all spent about 15-20 pounds per person. Would 100% come again to try their weekday menu when we are back in the area walking/hiking the valley.

Nice pub with a good atmosphere. Sunday lunch was ok despite them having very little choice for vegetarians as the roast had sold out. Could have done with some mashed potato with the 3 roasters

We visited the Kings Arms after walking along the National Trust Long Mynd trail. Although we hadn’t booked, we managed to sit down and have lunch. The food is nice, although the portions are on the larger size, local beers are great, and the board games on offer add to the occasion. Would recommend if you’re in the area, and especially so if you’ve just finished a walk/hike.

Great pub, awesome food, excellent prices and fab staff. Very dog friendly. Fab! Had a good kids menu too.

Amazing bar snacks go perfectly with a range of beers from this independent Shropshire brewer. Well worth a try, we think

Can't believe that we've been to Church Stretton and not found this gem. Proper pub. Excellent service and food was fantastic especially the Ploughmans.

Fantastic old British pub 🍻 Full of character

Stopped by for lunch today and wasn't expecting such nice food for pub grub fare!!! I had pork belly and mash which was delicious and my friend had a HUGE smoked salmon and prawn salad which was fresh and very good. The prices were VERY reasonable and the service was attentive and friendly. Would defiantly return when in the area.

The website says the kitchen is open 12-21 on Saturday, we were sat down at 15:30, been told the kitchen is closed until 16. Got some drinks, waited till 16, kitchen is still closed. Wasted our time and didn’t get any food 😐

Went here with a group of friends for Sunday Lunch. The staff were lovely and there was a good selection of drinks. The coffee I had was lovely. The roast dinner was decent but nothing to write home about. My main complaint was that it wasn't particularly warm. The pork was a little dry without the gravy and the roast potatoes could have done with being crispier on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I also felt that 3 small potatoes was a bit of a mean portion. In fairness I didn't say anything to give them the chance to get it right as I had somewhere to be after so didn't want to be delayed. The crackling & stuffing was nice and there was plenty of veg to go with it (not pictured) and the portion of pork was generous. With a few tweaks it could be a really good roast.

Went for lunch at the Kings, Arms whilst on holiday. The food was really good, especially the pie and the portions were huge. Good value for money. Would definitely recommend.

Although Church Street is is my nearest town I haven't been to the Kings Arms years, the last time it was a small typical drinkers pub. My wife and I had some time to kill after some last minute Christmas shopping and being aware that Jouel's brewery had bought the place we went there for a drink. An unbelievable transformation greeted us, fully extended incorporating some of the original outbuildings, sympathetically refurbished retraining the original character. Stone walls, rustic furniture, many alcoves, log burners, antique furniture etc etc. It has to be seen. Also there is a large covered outdoor area with a garden beyond. Enough of the transformation, extensive reasonably priced menu, local ales including their own Green Monkey craft lager, plenty of excellent staff, and a warm cozy atmosphere throughout.. Can't fault it 👏 👏 👏

Thanks for a lovely Christmas Dinner Jamie and the team. Very festive and a great location for our family get together

We had a lovely meal at The King's Arms. With Christmas music playing in the background we were sat in a warm and cosy spot. The staff were kind and attentive. We left feeling very full! The portions were spot on. 😊 We'd love to visit again.

10/10 Sunday roast here! Baked Camembert for starters, a nut roast and a special of lamb shank for main which were both amazing, top quality and huge portions and a pudding. The value for money on everything was amazing, couldn’t fault anything!

Cost traditional pub. We had hake, pan fried- very tasty. Giant onion rings! Nice home brewed ales. Dog friendly. Recommended.

A lovely traditional pub. Great food and beer selection served by a friendly and accommodating team.

Excellent country pub. Lovely food, good portions, efficient friendly staff and excellent real ale (Joules from market Drayton) definitely going back in new year.

Excellent pub ! Tasty real ale, joules from market drayton. Lovely pukka homecooked pub grub and big portions of an exceptionally high standard and a great ambience. Will definitely be coming back.

Brilliant little find lovely food and staff...would highly recommend

Went for a quiz in this very old pub. A great time was had by all.

Sunday lunch reasonably priced but tough bland tasting meat, watery undercooked veg and thin gravy. The roast potatoes were nice enough. Dogs allowed into a fairly crowded space did not enhance the experience.

Would of had food but disagree with dogs allowed on seats . So left after drinks, not sure if we would visit again as we are local but animals belong on the floor at least

Stunning building, so much history. Food was absolutely amazing, large portion & hot. Staff were friendly & helpful.

It’s just the best pub around, glad I moved closer to it

Seemed like a great pub with a buzzing atmosphere, and nice to see space for drinkers and not just all tables, although there was still plenty of space for diners. We visited for Sunday roast, and while service was good and food was nice, the portions were tiny. I had roast chicken and it just didn’t fill me up at all. I would rather pay an extra few quid and have a proper lunch. Sorry, but only 3 star review due to me leaving hungry.

Fabulous old pub, great atmosphere. The food and service was excellent.

So impressed. Pub full of history and character. Warm friendly staff. Generous portions. Cracking jackfruit dish. Good beers

This is quite a big pub as deceptively stretches at the back but retains a cosy real pub atmosphere. Friendly welcome & we ordered drinks & food. Just some olives to share as a start which were delicious & well dressed & as the fish & chips( cooked well) was an absolutely huge plate any more would have been a stretch. Good array of their own Joules ale & we tried the pale, monk & batch. My only niggle is the ales do seem a little bland but overall would recommend.

Very good food and service go there about every month always nice can become very busy . Went there one Saturday had a walk in of 8 heard staff say we are fully booked but we will have a table available shortly customers waited and they got there table were told there will be half hour wait on food they were OK with that . after about 40 minutes they were told food is on its way sorry for the delay to have a couple of the customers start moaning how they wanted free drinks.. at no time did the staff slag them excellent staff .I said to the boss in there you have better temper than me .

Photo does not resemble anywhere near the pub the nearest water to it could be 5 miles away😅😅😅

Excellent food. Great location. Wonderful staff. Dog friendly. A very welcoming and friendly pub with a wide selection of drinks.

Me, my wife & Diego our dog visited this lovely, friendly Joules pub during a drizzly day last week, looking for a couple of drinks & lunch during our holiday. We were glad we did. I didn't catch her name, but the landlady was super friendly, came over with treats & water for Diego & took our orders. Fish & chips & it was perfect! It was fresh & tasty, really nice Cod. The locals were friendly too, despite not knowing us from Adam. My type of pub! If you're in Church Stretton & after some cosy drinks & nice food, I'd recommend giving this pub a go.

Unfortunately the food was awful. Raw sweet potato and lentil curry. Couldn't pierce with a fork. Cold steak. Onion rings also nearly raw. At no point during the meal did any staff check if we were happy, and when we left the food clearly on the table and paid, no one checked when paying. Pub is lovely, warm and welcoming, drinks fine, food shit.

Lovely food in a good old fashioned pub.

What has happened? We loved eating at this pub when we visited Church Stretton. Now it is a limited choice and quality poor. The fish was bland and vegetables rock hard. Hoping there is a rethink and the steak and scampi delights return! Slow service but very pleasant staff.

We ate twice here. Food consistently good; the homemade steak and ale pie was delicious. Great atmosphere.

Fantastic food, friendly service, cannot recommend highly enough.

The staff here are lovely. Very attentive and love the pooches too. Food amazing and extremely great value. A real gem after a soggy walk on the hills.

A lovely pub, the food is fantastic, A great service from the lovely staff, A great outdoor area as well, Always enjoy a visit 😊

Nice rustic style old restored pub in the heart of Church Stretton. Big portions! Great homemade pie.

A wait for food but couldn't have asked for more attentive staff, well worth the wait, popular place, excellent food x

Lovely Joules pub and good service with a nice atmosphere. Sadly they’ve changed the Sunday menu & very little to choose from. This time round visiting we were not happy due to this change. But the food we did order was good. The cauliflower cheese that came with my beef was bland. The fish & chips were good & my son’s child’s portion was ok. They do cater for people with allergies if you ask. We were not acknowledged for a while when we turned up, we were ignored by the bar tender, which we found rude. So due to our experience overall I’d give them an 7/10.

Visited while on holiday. Went in for lunch, they were very busy with reserved tables. We managed to get a table for two. The food we ordered was lovely. Fish and chips and I had steak and ale pie, chips and seasonal veg with gravy. Plenty on the plate, we could not fault it. Excellent. No room for puddings.

Had a lovely meal here - huge portions and really friendly staff

Friendly pub with good beer and food. Highly recommended.

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.

Very nice pub with good beer and great friendly staff. Nice garden too.

Beautiful food! Huge portions and lovely staff ☺️ we bought 2 dogs in too. Really recommend the lamb shank and burger

Popped in with my wife for a couple of nice cold beers after a good walk. Good atmosphere inside and a lovely secluded beer garden at the rear.

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.

If ur thinking about bring your dog to this pub Don’t Local people sitting right by the door with 2 big dogs attacked my dog and all he had to say they been there longer then yours What a way to control your animals Owner of the pub needs to sort this out befor it hurts someone

Great steak and ale pie, massive desserts for the price, reasonably priced drinks. What more do you need?

Excellent food and beer. Lovely and spacious beer garden.

We had the beef Sunday dinner which was a bit chewy but the sides were nice and the atmosphere was good

Nice location, but staff serving behind the bar disinterested and miserable

Great pub, as Joule's always are. Top choice of well kept beer and great beer garden too.

A fantastic traditional pub , friendly staff who accommodated our large group on a Sunday , great Menu choices and excellent service - will return when visiting Church Stretton

Very good food and great atmosphere

Service was poor...was told cannot be served food on a Sunday at 4pm due to them being busy. However customer were walking in and being seated

You won't find a better pub in England.

Great beer and food ... Real nice beer garden too

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.

Great atmosphere, food and beer garden! A must pre or post some hiking in the Shropshire Hills!!

A very welcoming pub called in on a whim and accommodated us no problems. Excellent food and very generous portions! Nice selection of beers on tap. Great atmosphere with a lovely beer garden at the rear. Definitely recommend

We had a large family meal there, we were looked after brilliantly and the food was enjoyed by all. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

Bustling nice pub, lots of outdoor space. Felt very local!

Cosy little pub serving great ales and food. The minted lamb burger was incredible.

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.

Celebrated St George's Day lunch here with my son. He had Fish and Chips, I had the smaller plate. First class, as always. Very good portions; fresh food; lovely, helpful staff; good value and a superb glass of Blonde. Already looking forward to my next visit. 😊

A lovely local pub with good service and reasonably priced food. Dog friendly. Good beer from Joules brewery particularly the blonde.

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.

Nice pub, beer was good, toilets were clean, my first visit to church stretton,

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.

Excellent food and atmosphere and the service in the restaurant was exceptional We also loved the sausages rolls on the bar on Friday - a fab welcoming start to our weekend break

The food was amazing. The standard was exceptional. The staff were extremely friendly and efficient. The amount and quality of food for the money was brilliant.

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!

Had a wonderful meal I had the steak and ale pie my husband si had the Cajun chicken ,, was lovely thoroughly enjoyed our meal ,, beer was good too

Lovely atmosphere, brilliant staff. Love it!

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!

Great pub and good food call here on way to Wales to break a 4hr drive i

Meals at The Kings are always great. Varied menu and the portions are huge - we order the smaller versions so we have room for pudding. Puddings are ace. Service is always top notch too.

Excellent meal that didn't break the bank. Super friendly service.

Great pub to visit after a hike, bike or drive around Church Stretton. Great pub grub, huge portions.

Amazing food. So much choice and portion sizes were incredible. lovely atmosphere and our server Bill was fantastic. Thank you so much for a lovely meal

Telly upstairs for watching rugby. Didn't have food, but what other people had looked very nice. Will visit again.

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere. Visited twice in two days (once for dinner and once for drinks) with our golden retriever. Very friendly staff and they have chocolate labradors as pub dogs so that alone gets 5***** from me

Great place to have a drink after a long hike. Last Food order on a Sunday is 3:45pm (at least when I was there).

Very busy pub. Had a lovely meal with friends. Portions were very big.

Ever seen American werewolf in London? It's like that, only with more chairs

Good food, good beer and good service. Nice setting. Proper pub.

Grear fiid, nice staff, dog friendly

Good menu offerings, lovely comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff.

Great village pub, lovely little bar area, log burner. Plenty of room out back to sit too. Nice beer selection.

We’re never disappointed with a Joules pub & this one is at the top of the list. Great food, service, fabulous friendly staff & they can’t do enough to make you feel warm & welcome. Excellent value & will certainly be back ❤️

Very good and friendly pub at the heart of Church Stretton. The food was OK, but the local ales were fantastic! Dog friendly too!

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!

Booked a table by phone. You can book in restaurant but not bar. We had lasagne and a cannelloni. Big portions of good pub food. Specials also. Cosy in a booth in the restaurant. Couldn’t fault it

Lovely pub and-the-food is nice. We had-a god get together there. So yes-a good place to visit.

Absolutely lovely little pub, excellent ales, roaring fire, superb.
