Kings Arms in Richmond upon Thames

Great food and very friendly helpful staff. Definitely will stay again.

The entire feel of the restaurant area is just cold and awkward, in stark contrast to how the old King's Arms used to feel... myself and my sister had food and drinks here but felt that the staff were very in experienced and the 'posh exterior& interior' of all the lovely tables, napkins etc was just such a mis match. They've kept the old fireplace but it'd not like it was. No personality, no character. Just a boring Prezzo/pizza express type place to eat. A few women came in as we were eating and asked where the bar area was and the woman at the entrance said, oh there isnt a bar area..and the women left. Which a shame as the old King's arms was lovely.

Lovely room and great food thanks

Located directly opposite beautiful Bushy Park, the Kings Arms Hotel is the perfect place to stay for those wanting to participate in the iconic home of the first Parkrun. At least 10 other people in 2 other groups had the same idea as us. It is also very conveniently located to visit Hampton Court Palace (you can see the maze from one of the stairwell windows) with the main visitors’ entrance just a short stroll around the corner. We stayed in the Hampton Suite which suited our family of 4 very well. The beds were super comfortable and the bathroom spacious; just wish we had a longer stay so could have enjoyed the big bathtub. Included in our price was a fabulous breakfast; this included a cold selection of yogurt, cereals, bread, croissants and juice plus a choice of a hot breakfast. We had 2 full English, an eggs benedict with added sausage and an eggs royale which were all delicious and set us up for the day. Staff were friendly and helpful and we were able to leave our bags post check-out. There is very limited free parking (4 spots) outside the hotel and we were not lucky enough to get one but street parking is free from 6pm to 8:30am and there is free parking inside Bushy Park. We would definitely stay here again.

The best location for Hampton Court Palace and Bushy Park Run!! Warm welcome, great service throughout. Room was clean and comfortable with tea, coffee and water (still and sparkling), there was also a Mini bar. Shower was great and the breakfast was delicious. Only thing that might be a concern is that the music from the bar area could be heard in our room evening (but not late) and morning. Definitely recommend.

80th birthday dinner and the service and food brilliant. Sunday roasts excellent. Lovely wine and cocktails

Best place to stay when to visit Bushy Parkrun! Breakfast is great!

At the top 👌🏻 perfect location opposite Bushy Park. The staff is very nice. The rooms are good and clean. It has everything you need in it. The breakfast is fabulous. Very very good. We will come back to this

Beautiful hotel, fantastic location (park with deer opposite, on the other side Hampton Court - beautiful castle). The employees are all very friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful, bathroom brand new and comfortable. Top price-performance! Dinner was delicious, breakfast was a dream - great add-on options such as vegetarian full English breakfast

Had a really enjoyable meal at The Six for our anniversary. Food was excellent - tasty and well presented. Staff very attentive and friendly. Would thoroughly recommend.

We popped in for a quick drink after visiting Hampton Court. We were met with smiling faces and a nice welcome. Offered a table and were left a menu. Whilst discussing things our son said he was hungry - a waitress who was passing said the restaurant wasn’t open until 6. We said we were fine. She smiled and said they could do a bowl of chips / that hit the spot! So we ordered a pint of Wimbledon beer, a bottle of Rose and a lemonade plus the chips. We sat chatting for well over an hour and the chips were very much enjoyed. We were asked if we wanted another drink but we declined but the service could not have been nicer. We will be returning for a full meal next time

When visiting Hampton Court, there is no better place to stay! It is only a short walk to the Palace, so it is convenient to enjoy a wonderful breakfast at the Six and then head over for a full day of sightseeing. The staff is extremely friendly, treating customers with kindness and catering to their needs. Enjoy!

Staff pleasant, good service, excellent breakfast 👌

Great food the burger was juicy and full of flavour, the fries are nice and crispy

Fab location. Just out of the town. Easy walking distance from the train station and it borders the Palace.

Having reviewed the restaurant and menu in the morning we booked for Friday night. In particular the Fry’day fish and chips looked good. However it just wasn’t on the menu and it would appear that the website is out of date. Ordered the paella dish. It was very tasty, but the portions were what I’d expect as a starter. The Wahl beer was tasty. Just not quite what was expected from the website, and therefore disappointing.

Everything was wonderful. The staff were great and went above and beyond to make our stay most comfortable.

Very attentive staff, nice room, good breakfast. Sound proofing over the pub / road was incredible.

Excellent food at pre-COVID prices, superb service and even doggy treats (huge thanks from 🐩)

Walked in asking if we could have breakfast as advertised on website..”we haven’t got any eggs” …😲

Had a beautiful stay at the Kings Arms and only 5 minute walk from Hampton Court Palace. The food was absolutely delicious and great value, was like eating at Michelin Star Restaurant. Diana the manager was so helpful and great fun, nothing was too much trouble and she made our stay so enjoyable xxxx Thank you for great day and night, we will be back to see you soon ❤️

We were taken very good care of by Mike, Ally and the whole team. Perfect location in the heart of Hampton Court, well appointed room, excellent food, personal and attentive service. Will be returning. Thank you!

The service is impeccable and the food is really yummy

Really lovely small hotel - friendly staff, delicious breakfast and good location for the local areas and hopping on a train to the centre of London. Bed in room was advertised as a Queen, but was definitely smaller - otherwise really great stay!

We went for an afternoon tea and my husband had booked a gluten free afternoon tea for me. The whole experience was pretty disappointing. Firstly, the online menu offered a wide range of teas which my daughter and I were looking forward to trying. However, we could actually have either Earl Grey or Breakfast tea. The gluten free scones completely fell apart unfortunately and weren’t edible. I was told that everything had been freshly baked and the scones clearly were. However, two of the gluten free cakes looked and tasted identical to the ones I usually buy from a well known supermarket. I brought some home from the restaurant, because I didn’t want to eat them at the time. When I compared them with what I had in my own cupboard from the supermarket, I found they were in fact absolutely identical in every way. In my opinion they were the same cakes. Photo attached so you can see the comparison. On the left, the supermarket cakes, on the right, the hotel offering. I don’t think this is acceptable if you are being told that everything is freshly made on site and the price reflects that promise. The Director himself gave me a strong sell of how well they cater for dietary requirements, gave me his business card, and suggested I contact him any time. I wrote to the Director of the Hotel about my experience and showed him the photos of the cakes and my concerns about them being supermarket bought, but received no reply. Not good enough in my opinion. Very disappointing overall and I won’t return.

The Six Restaurant and Bar is an absolutely lovely place for lunch or dinner with family or/and friends. The place is located opposite the Lions Gate of the bushi park, which is a perfect location for those who want to combine great food with a beautiful walk. The restaurant itself is very cosy and bright. The food was fresh and very tasty. It is vegetarian and vegan friendly, so despite quite a small menu, there is no issue with finding something for everyone. We went for a Sunday lunch with a group of friends. We took hummus and halloumi for starters and continued with the vegan toad in the hole, vegan burgers, and two types of fish. We finished with different deserts. However, vegan cheesecake was definitely a winner. Everything that we tried was freshly made and very good quality. And people who work at the restaurant are super friendly and polite. They made us feel welcomed, and they tried everything they could to improve our experience. We will definitely come back.

Amazing hotel. Rooms excellent, very clean and amazing host. Nothing too much trouble for him and very socialable. Location perfect for Hampton Court Palace. The Hotel actually backs onto the Palace Maze.

Just had a drink great location 👌

We had a beautiful meal here today. The manager & staff were so welcoming and friendly. We had our dogs with us & got a fabulous snug with a log burning stove to enjoy our food. The food was delicious and excellent quality. We will definitely be back. The only small niggle was the lack of parking (only around 7 spaces which were filled) so we had to park a fair bit away & walk - but it was worth it. Keep up the good work !

My family and I went for lunch on a working day after the summer season a little later than lunch time. Other restaurants in the vicinity were closed or out of stock on most menu items. This restaurant welcomed us with a smile and served us ravenous people with a good vegetarian lunch. Prices were reasonable. All in all great value and experience. I would whole heartedly recommend this restaurant. The ambience next to Hampton Court Palace adjacent to the Lion Gate and opposite to the Diana Fountain of Bushy Park is superb.

We don't dine out for Sunday lunch too often, but thought that this place looked good on the website. Big mistake. Firstly, at 1.30, we were the only people in the restaurant, which was a surprise at least. As I am trying not to drink at the moment, I was pleased to see virgin cocktails on the menu, and ordered a Virgin Negroni. The alcoholic version was served, which I didn't mind, but thought it could be embarrassing if I had been allergic - or alcoholic! When you see such a limited menu at a restaurant, you should at least expect those meals to be well prepared. The starters were ok and nicely presented but straight out of a packet pate and mackerel. The biggest disappointment was the roast beef, which was woefully undercooked and cold. So much so, we had to send it back. What was returned was not much better. I love rare roast beef, but this was simply undercooked. The staff were pleasant and attentive - although the manager seemed indifferent to our issue - but the poor food prep is the reason we shan't be returning.

Came here for dinner while working at the joust at HCP . Food was great, service was great.

I have no idea why this restaurant isn't more highly rated. Perhaps because it is combined with the hotel?? While it appears under the same name, the restaurant is actually called 'The Six'. A lot of the photos on Tripadvisor are pre-renovation and I would suggest going to the website to see what it looks like now - really attractive. I went with 3 friends for Sunday lunch and we had the pork belly, beef and fish. We were in complete agreement that we had not had a comparable Sunday lunch anywhere in the vicinity. It was extremely good. You were asked how you'd like the beef cooked (not very common with Sunday lunch). The roast potatoes were amazing. The batter on the haddock was beautifully light. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely visit again.

Very attentive staff, orders taken straight away, G&T/Margarita. Starters Goats cheese/rabbit terrine-lovely. Mains, beef/pork belly, served with proper roast pots. My only comment is, would have liked to have the offer of more veg. Really enjoyable lunch and including drinks/wine/tip - £65 a head-I’ve paid more for Pizza dinner! Fabulous deffo recommend!!

Wonderful experience. Had a meal here with my father who is in a wheelchair and the staff were attentive and incredibly accommodating. Made us feel very much at home and the food was superb too. Would highly recommend.

We stayed for one night in a very comfortable room. The staff (Rachel, Gertrude and Cally) were helpful and accommodating, particularly appreciated as we were with our young son. Breakfast was excellent. The location is right across from Bushey Park is convenient and pleasant - road noise is inaudible inside, while we were able to go into this beautiful park through just crossing the street. Recommended

Fantastic Stay Joanne the manager is priceless, all the staff are chatty and fantastic. Second time I have stayed at The Kings Arms. This time with my family and we booked the family suite Double Bed and bunk beds for the kids in a seperate room, Great bathroom with big bath and shower. Breakfast was fabulous and cooked fresh to order. Have recomended the hotel to friends and clients alike 10/10

We were looking for somewhere local to have Sunday lunch. Over the past few months we’d been trying all of the restaurants/ pubs in the area to find out ‘favourite’. The Six Restaurant at The Kings Arms is at the top of the list. The food was amazing. The roast beef and in particular the gravy is sublime. We were too stuffed for dessert! The staff were very friendly and service was at the right pace between courses. The only minor point was it lacked a little ambience as it was very quiet, which surprised us given how good the food is. We can’t wait to bring family and friends here, as we know they’ll also think The Six is a great find!

Stayed the night following a visit to Hampton Court Palace. It's really clean, the service was first class, John and the rest of the staff are really friendly, polite and helpful, the dinner and breakfast was fantastic. There is 'first come, first served' parking on site, but other locations nearby. From my experience, would definitely recommend staying.

Quick review, visited the Kings Arms yesterday, I can only summize, the barman had received some very bad news. Grumpy, and really did not want to serve us. Let’s hope he has a better day today. Cheers

Lovely hotel, staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. Room was really nice and spotless as was the whole hotel. Food was lovely, bar had nice atmosphere and outside area for enjoying a drink in the sun was perfect. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning.

Very comfortable stay, friendly staff

the first time I went to Kings arms was as a student , many years ago , it was a fabulous old pub , It’s reinvented itself recently as a hotel restaurant . We were a party of 8 Saturday lunchtime celebrating a birthday for my brother in law . I had the steak tartare , and Plaice , accompanied by some fab wines , if you’re visiting Hampton Court or just a local like me , I highly recommend this place , book yourself a table and treat yourself .

Lovely surroundings, service and food was fantastic

Excellent food, freshly made. This is the main feature of this restaurant. We visited today the Six restaurant within the King's Arms Hotel with my family and we all have been extremely impressed with the food. We have tried several different dishes and we could not find anything at all that was anything but perfect. Starting from the bread, freshly made served with an excellent butter, ending with the ice-cream, rich and silky, everything was well above our expectations. We shared a local charcuterie board which was lovely , especially the coppa. I had corzetti for started and my wife the scotch egg. Both dishes were perfectly executed and cooked on point. The scotch egg with the running yolk and perfectly fried was excellent. The corzetti were rich and tasty, nicely al dente and the broad beens were nice and sweet cutting the richness of the dish. We also tried the agnolotti, which were just perfect. The rich flavour of the goat cheese was well balanced by the fresh cherry tomatoes and the light broth. These are definitely a MUST ! I had the Saffron risotto and my wife went for the fish and chips. The risotto was ( very uncommon to find) perfectly cooked with the mantecatura executed to perfection. It was well balanced on the flavour and the saffron aromatic note was not hidden by any other flavour. Just the cheese and butter to complete but not overtaking the main aroma. Our son had a burger, nice and juicy and served with a freshly made brioche bun. Even if it was from the kids menu it showed that attention and care were put also for the children food, exactly as it was for the adults. The ice-cream to finish was delicious. Rich and silky. The service was warm, friendly and precise. We had a bottle Gavi and it was extremely nice. Definitely a place that we will visit again in the future and that would recommend to anyone to visit.

Meal at The Six restaurant last night, busy evening but the staff and management were superb. We had a absolutely lovely three course meal, beautifully cooked and a pleasure to eat. The staff were very attentive and made sure we were well looked after. Would strongly recommend. Full marks The Six!

Always a good time here, great food,,,, people and rooms, ace

A friend and I had a lovely lunch here after visiting Hampton Court Palace. Food was delicious, staff very friendly and accommodating and we enjoyed sitting in the outside area. Location is great and a snack or meal here can easily be combined with a day out to also see the palace. I would certainly come back.

Love love love this place! The food was absolutely amazing, wonderful wine list and staff so lovely. We will be back soon!

One of the few close by restaurants after walking Hampton Court. Ate at the outdoor patio and had some interesting dishes. Good service and great outdoor atmosphere.

Visited for lunch. Party of 12. 6 adults, 6 children (1-8). Accommodating and friendly. All had roasts. Mainly beef and turkey. Fish n chips for kids. Food was very good. Rare for a pub, especially given location, and such a big party. Kate, the manager, and her staff were incredibly welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you and we will be back and we will be recommending (at the risk of it being so popular we don’t get a table!). Thank you and see you again soon.

Lovely food well presented. Went there for our Christmas do and had the set menu and it was delicious. The mushroom and chestnut soup was delicious. The porc beautifully cooked and really tasty. The desert was a bit disappointing as did not match the rest . Rice pudding with cranberry compote and the ice cream on top was too much . Good service friendly nice decor Situated directly opposite Bushy park and near the palace .

What an amazing place!!! Came here for dinner with friends and it was a fabulous evening. Super stylish and comfortable, and the food was stunning, loved the fact all the ingredients are locally sourced. will definitely be returning......

First time visiting The Six, the refurbished restaurant in the Kings Arms. Food was exceptional, staff very attentive and an excellent idea sourcing the salad/vegetables/herbs from the Hampton Court garden. We will definitely return.

Popped in for a beer after visiting the palace. The staff were friendly and the prices were reasonable for a beer and gin. Not quite the cosy, inviting pub experience that we were looking for, but pleasant nonetheless and well worth a quick pitstop.

We had dinner here with both adults and children on what proved to be a pretty quiet Thursday evening. The restaurant was rather overlit initially, which, together with the white marble tables and black low-back chairs made it somewhat stark. It was not helped that we were among the first guests in what is quite a spacious dining room.Given that the restaurant has been newly renovated, it is not suprising - perhaps a few palms or other sizable plants would help to provide a little more colour and break up the space.The wine list is of a good length, with a selection ranging from the reasonably priced to the more expensive. We chose a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon which became increasingly drinkable as it breathed. The quality of the food ingredients was universally good, and everyone finished the contents of their plates. The childrens' menu is realistic in terms of choice and offers a slimmed down version of some of the adult dishes (ie the burger). There was a single vegetarian option on the main course menu, and no vegan options at all. I ordered two vegeterian starters as a result, but was quite happy with the quantity of food served which is not always the case with starters. I took the beetroot and burrata salad followed by the bluecheese salad. My wife took the cheddar and onion tart. My cousin had the lamb, which was nice and pink, while our older son took the burger - assiduously stripping it of lettuce and onion relish...The only significant meh was given to the chips which lacked flavour.Ketchup and mayonnaise were provided in little Tiptree pots, which are elegant but not terribly environmentally efficient.Service was a little awkward, with a couple of misunderstandings being worked through, but was attentive and well-intentioned.Overall it feels that Six is still finding its feet: the basics are in place, but the menu needs a little more variety (particularly for vegetarians and vegans), the service could be a bit more relaxed and the ambience a little softer to make it cosier.

I stopped here with my two kids after exploring Hampton Court. It couldn’t be closer without being on the palace grounds and we had a lovely lunch.Although the menu offers some exciting looking dishes and no little creativity, on this occasion we went for fish and chips and a burger and I thought the quality was excellent. The chips were wonderful - like great chip shop chips - and the mushy peas some of the best I’ve ever had. It should be said £16 for a fairly polite portion of fish and chips is punchy, even around here, but on the doorstep of Hampton Court you’re inevitably paying tourist prices (see also £6.55 for a pint of lager shandy) - but all considered, I was happy to pay a little more for the convenience of it being right on the gate (and the kids’ menu portions were plenty for my two and far more reasonable at £7).We sat outside and while it is next to a very busy road, they’ve done a good job of hedging it off and creating a nice terrace. There’s still traffic noise, but it was fine. We’ll definitely return.

Really great roast beef lunch, genuinely one of the best I’ve had this year. Completely refurbished interior is a bit stark and sole-less though. Can imagine it being too ‘cool’ in the winter season, not ‘cosy’ enough. But we’ll be back for the food.

Well Henry VIII may not have approved of the newly refurbished Kings Arms but there has been no expense spared to bring this previously worn and tired hostelry up to date and what a great job they have done. It’s tastily decorated without being ostentatious and the whole decor is lovely. And surprise, the standard of the food has kept pace with the excellent high standards. Beautiful food with attentive, friendly staff and whilst it’s not cheap, it’s very good value. Altogether, a lovely warm Friday evening with good friends and excellent food!

Excellent Sunday lunch roast beef was cooked to perfection with a good selection of vegetables and good service

After booking a table for Sunday lunch at relatively short notice, we were all very happy with our choice. The team were absolutely a pleasure to be with and were welcoming, warm, and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was great for a friendly catch up over a roast lunch. Drinks flowed well, and the team were very attentive. I wouldn’t hesitate to return and recommend to anyone in the area. We all felt appreciated for our custom and genuinely enjoyed everything. Many thanks to the team for a great experience.

For a hotel that is next to Hampton Court Palace, it is such a shame that this place has been stripped of any character. The roaring fireplace is now glass brick and there is not a hint of its nearness to the 16th Century Palace apart from the name of the restaurant. The food was good, some dishes were excellent, but the service was lacklustre and slow given we were one of only 3 tables. Over all i was just underwhelmed by my experience and wont be rushing back

Attentive staff, great decor, nice seasonal dishes really we’ll executed. Highly recommended. Meal for two - meals came in good time but not rushed, extensive wine list and ok prices. Location great for Hampton court palace and bushey park.

Niclely done up but a shame it's so modern & hasn't kept any of the old character eg wood paneling! Quite expensive & service needs to up the anti! Tables outside not cleared even though staff weren't busy and a terrible smell from their bins near the terrace.

Now called The Six. This place need a refurb and it has been done to a very high standard. Now closer to fine dining than the pub grub of before.

My husband and I had lunch at the Kings Arms on July 2019. We both ordered the plaice. It was truly excellent. Michelin star quality. The expresso, however, could be stronger.

A newly opened restaurant/bar/lounge at this nicely refurbished ancient pub/hotel. We have been waiting for it to get going.......

Happened to notice that the pub had opened after visiting the flower show. Was absolutely appalled to see that every shred of history had been ripped from it. How was this allowed to happen ? Direct history to Henry VIII all gone. Shame on you.

Food nicely prepared, very good buffet as well as a cooked breakfast menu. Can recommend the eggs benedict.

I recently visited Hampton Court. I used to call in here for a beer or three. Please note that this establishment is currently closed. Check their website for updates.

The Kings Arms is a fantastic place to eat & drink. The decor is just beautiful and typical 'Hampton Court style' - making it so atmospheric. The have big, tudor-style tables with dark wooden beans and also a wonderful fire place with big, studded, leather sofas. It really is like stepping back in time (in a good way, of course) - this place obviously has a lot of history. The food choices are pretty limited but that has never really posed a problem for us personally. They have roast dinners, sausage and mash, fish and chips and also a kids menu (last time i checked). The food has always been at a very high standard. The drink is also very good and fairly priced. Staff are excellent, very attentive and friendly. They also have a generous amount of outside seating. I would definitely recommend this place.

Pub full of character. Food was wholesome and service was friendly and efficient

Llamamos para un almuerzo de haber pasado un número de veces me pareció muy bonito desde el exterior. Por dentro es muy viejos tiempos. Llegamos antes de que empezaron a servir la comida, así que teníamos un par de copas mientras espera. El menú no era muy amplia, pero nos instalamos en el pollo hamburguesas que eran muy agradables. Sin duda consideraríamos volver cuando en la zona en el futuro.

We had a drink in here on our arrival at our apartment next door, but found it a bit pricey for a couple of drinks

El Kings Arms restaurante está situado en el Hotel Kings Arms justo fuera de la entrada norte de la Puerta del León a los terrenos del Palacio de la Hampton Court Palace. Este restaurante está abierto para el desayuno, el almuerzo y la cena. El hotel y el restaurante son de más de 300 años y empezó como un burdel para los soldados británicos. Este pub tiene mesas para sentarse al aire libre dentro y también tiene en su patio.

The staff could not have been more helpful when our party of two grew to one of 7 people. Pleasant willing and attentive service. Well done!

Excellent food, excellent service too, definitely recommend

Nice pub/restaurant right next to Hampton Court Palace and Bushey Park. The pub has seating on the pavement outside. The bar sells Hall and Wood house Ales only and a small selection of larger. A TV was playing sport. The barman was good, giving patient directions to Hampton Court to quite a rude visitor.

Third year running we've eaten here as a family after a day out at the Hampton Court Flower Show. There were 8 of us booked in for 8pm and it was a big disappointment compared to previous years. First there was a skeleton menu. We were told they'd sold out of most things as they'd been so busy. We ended up with seven fish n chips and a burger. Took an age to arrive. And after deliberating on desserts we were told (admittedly very apologetically by our charming waitress) that they'd finished serving food. We were dumbfounded. They offered ice cream.

Cerca del río Támesis de Londres Heathrow y la puerta del palacio. Este es embarrassingly mala! Nadie puede ser molestado teníamos una bebida y a la izquierda. Qué desperdicio de un hermoso hotel histórico ¿No quieres hacer dinero? Su literalmente a un tiro de piedra del Palacio que tienen un público cautivo como el único pub un acomodados clientela uno de los mejores chefs haría bien en comprar este lugar especialmente con el espectáculo de jardín. Debe tener una palabra con James martin. Quien quiera que sea el dueño de este lugar necesita sus baches sensación!

Visitaremos el palacio de Hampton Court cada año para un concierto. El año pasado nos comimos una deliciosa comida en una encantadora posada, llamado armas Reyes, perfectamente situado en el límite del parque. Nos quedamos tan impresionados que decidimos quedarnos allí este año.

Definitivamente no es un hotel boutique, pero mucho mejor en mi opinión. Precioso pub de estilo antiguo de carácter mundial. Me gustaría la habitación de Jane seymour, pero por desgracia la actriz de Hollywood no estaba allí. Buen tamaño y la cama era cómoda. Gran desayuno, pero no tranquila un budín, blanco o patata no ha pan ha. Una gran relación calidad-precio y una fantástica ubicación con fácil acceso al centro de Londres. Importante para llevar las llaves de hotel si quiere volver después de terminar como el pub bar principal funciona como recepción y podrá ser cerrada como la recepción no es de 24 horas.

We were a group of 18 who had prebooked for a lunch after a walk round Bushy Park. The pub is in a prime position next to Hampton Court and always looks very inviting from the outside. The atmosphere was good in the bar and the staff friendly. However, the menu was limited, although we were told on booking that we could choose from the main menu if necessary and preorder. They had no salad left and ran out of ham for sandwiches before we had all ordered. My chicken sandwich was made with the end of the loaf next to the crust so was hard and almost stale. The coleslaw was not nice, made with vinaigrette rather than mayonnaise I think. Chips were ok. Disappointing and a shame.

Nice place to eat and drink on a Sunday afternoon.

The pub backs on to Hampton Court which was excellent for an event there. There are very limited parking spaces and it is difficult to feel comfortable with your car retained at Her Majesty's pleasure in Bushy Park overnight. The room was shabby and did not feel worthy of its name Henry Tudor after a visit to the Palace, but it worked.The breakfast was good

We were visiting friends and family in Molesey and decided on an overnight in this local pub with rooms. The rooms themselves were a bit themed around Royals, with four-poster beds and lots of gold and mirrors. The beds were comfortable, but the attention to detail was definitely not royal standard, sadly.Parking proved difficult, with the hotel on the main road. Although it stated in the booking that free parking was available, this was misleading as there are only three dedicated spots outside the pub, with the rest permitted bay parking. Shower rooms were a bit dated and could do with some reinvestment, but the rooms themselves were decent enough and the traffic on the main road outside was not really noticeable despite our room (Henry VIII) being at the front. We had dinner here, which was decent pub grub but nothing more. At over £11 for a burger, and nearly £13 for a pie, I expected a bit more to be honest. Breakfast in the morning was similar - fine, but nothing more. It was a shame that the glasses, cutlery and crockery were all a bit streaky and in need of sparkle. I probably wouldn't opt to stay here again, but it did the job and I hope that my review will not be taken too personally, and may help them to look at some improvements.

The Kings Arms dates back to the 17th century and the rooms reflect this with the furnishings. We had a two night break here and the staff were very pleasant and friendly. Breakfast was very good and freshly cooked to order, there was also juices, cereals, fruit and croissants for you to help yourself.We would certainly stay there again.

Excellent way to end your visit to Hampton Court with good pub food directly opposite the entrance to Hampton Court. Excellent service and enjoyed the food too!

Call in here for breakfast. Looked good on the menu, but failed to meet expectations. My Breakfast listed sautéed potatoes which did not materialise, back or streaky bacon, I ordered back which did arrive. My wife ordered poached egg on toast with streaky. She received back bacon. Food OK, but check what is available before you order. We were not advised of shortages, or offered alternatives.

A lovely olde world feeling to this hotel, although the room did not match the look of the rooms on their website and could have done with redecorating. The toilet needed replacing. Most of the staff were very welcoming. The breakfast was very good.Ideal place to stay when visiting Hampton Court Place.

Good beer selection and quality. Not impressed with the food, which was mediocre at best. Considering the price and the business of the place, I was expecting something a little less drier and plain. Children were particularly unimpressed with their food.

Excellent Inn (Grade 2 listed 300 years old) good pub food and excellent breakfast: rooms at front of hotel subject to road traffic noise.

I stayed in a beautiful room known as the 'Jane Seymour' suite, inspired by the good old Henry the Eighth! I had 'Catherine Parr' suite next to me alongside 'Tudor Rose'. It was a lovely stay in the hotel, the staff were kind, professional and made me feel very welcome and comfortable. You can order in or buy food and bring in which I found very generous of them. They offer a delicious cooked breakfast along side some cold food...not many shops and amenities nearby you can always take a 10 minute walk past the fabulous well known maze and you will find a good row of shops, restaurants and pubs....the service was brilliant! Would definitely recommend and would love to come back and stay again....In regards to some reviews about the coldness, the rooms soon heated if you left the radiator on long enough!

This is an interesting pub /hotel in a perfect location right next to the entrance gate to Hampton Court Palace. The building retains many unique features all of which add to its undoubted character. We were staying close by so we visited on a couple of occasions. The food wasn't bad, but expensive for what it was, but the worst aspect was the truly awful tasting beer, which was flat and not well kept. I tried several different brews and each was as bad. Whoever's in charge of the beer needs to have a re-think!

We visited as a family for lunch on 30 December. Our table was in a room outside the general bar area. There was absolutely no heating and we complained stating that it was warmer outside than inside. We were offered no form of heat. When our food arrived it also was cold and uninviting.

I love the atmosphere at KA and husband and I went there for a Christmas drink with our dog. The pub allows dogs and children and it is major plus. The pub is very beautiful, authentic, good beer, friendly service, original fireplace; always a joy to visit.

This pub is in a great setting on the perimeter of Hampton Court Palalce. Great drinks, comfortable Chesterfield settees in front of a lovely open, log fire. Friendly helpful staff. What more can you ask for?

Good Location near Hampton Court Palace and Bushey Park. Sunday lunch was good, we were in room away from open fire which was a shame as the bar with far it much more cosy

I was in London on business and booked this for its location. I love the character of the building and the staff were fantastic. So welcoming and conscientious. The food was great from the evening meal to the lovely breakfast.

Service was ok - stuff often chatting rather than serving. 2 x roasts: Trimmings excellent, massive crispy Yorkshire pudding. Beef was tough and probably needed slicing more thinly. Pork better, although fat was soft rather than crispy. Only two potatoes? Uninspiring pudding menu.
