Having eaten here a couple of times before, came for their NYE dinner. Overall experience was ok but they'd clearly either over booked or were understaffed. Waited 15 mins after seating before anyone spoke to us to take an order, and similar for the tables around us. Same story at the end of the meal when it took half an hour to get the bill. Quality of the food was pretty good when it came, particularly the starters, but did expect a bit more wow factor given the price. And more than a little surprised to be charged extra for a sauce to go with the steak when paying £80 per head.. yes that did include half a bottle of wine but still.. I'd definitely eat here again, but would think twice before going back on a special menu night.

Returned after being away for a couple of years. Nikos was very attentive and could only apologise for a poorly cooked main course that was returned a second time due to then being a very poor quality cut. Read the menu description carefully as food is dressed up. Shame as we used regularly previously but having to sacrifice quality to try and compete with others. Would rather pay a bit more to go back to how food was presented previously.

We just finished off our Christmas party at the kings arms and it was the best one we’ve had to date! The service from the girls on the bar (leoni and Ali) and our waitresses (Rihana and faith) was incredible and the food was absolutely delicious. Although it seemed like a busy night it made no difference to the service. It was an amazing Christmas party and we will be returning next year. Thank you everyone

I’m very pleased with our meal at The Kings Arms. I booked a table for 11 of my family to have a Christmas Roast and we were very happy with it. The staff were friendly and happy and the service was good. Generally the pub was very busy, as to be expected, Even so, we never felt like we were kept waiting for our meals. The food was good and presented nicely and everyone was happy.. The price was very reasonable considering it was so close to Christmas. So yes, we were very happy with our family meal at The Kings Arms. We have eaten there many times and look forward to eating there in the future.

It was the cycling club’s Christmas meal and social, the venue was booked well in advance. On arrival the bar area was packed, vey busy. Once we all arrived, we were shown to our table and waited for the food to arrive. And we waited, and we waited and waited. The starters arrived after about a delay of 45 minutes, though I have to say, the food was worth waiting for. I had scollops which were fantastic, followed by turkey with all the trimmings and for desert, mince pie tart. The food was fabulous, but the service was slow, too slow in my opinion. As mentioned earlier, the pub was heaving. All bar staff worked very hard and all kept their heads under immense pressure. There was an issue with a Deliveroo order which I was aware of, again through slow service. I do wonder if the service issues were due to staff shortages or whether The Kings Arms have over committed themselves. Either way, this should be addressed because the delay in being served put a tarnish on what otherwise was a fabulous meal.

Visited during half term recently for some lunch with some colleagues. It’s a lovely place to spend some time and the food is what you’d expect from a pub however the service was incredibly slow. We were waiting for about 40 mins for our food to arrive and most people had ordered sandwiches. I suspect that it was because the pub was busy, but regardless, service was slow.

The kings arms is a lovely place .. all done up for Christmas and it looked very cosy and appealing Good points .. lovely array of drinks, food was lovely in the main .. a few issues with taste etc but that came down to personal preference Not so good … one of the waitresses was not quite as friendly as the rest esp when it came to an issue with paying for some drinks separately to our main bill ..it was all a bit too much of an effort or so it seemed ! Also some “ decoration “ on some of the desserts that was less than aesthetically pleasing as it looked like bits of straw mingled with toenail clippings … it was dried lemon peel but it did nothing to enhance the dessert whatsoever The price for 5 of us for a shared mezze/ rustic bread starter .. 5 mains 5 desserts 4 cocktails was about 200£ ( £40 per head ) which for the quality, ambience and taste was actually quite reasonable

Lovely country pub. Food good and reasonably priced. Ambience of pub very nice. Service good. Only complaint their telephone had a very loud ring tone and it seemed to take ages for anyone to answer. It sounded like a fire alarm going off! This was very irritating when you’re trying to have a conversation with friends.

Good atmosphere but quite noisy when very busy. Service a little on the slow side but it was very busy when we were there. Nice food but seemed to think that asking for no gravy meant that you didn't want bread sauce either which does not make sense. Overall a nice meal and we would definately go back again.

Recommended by a friend we were lucky to get a last minute table for lunch on Sunday. Whilst none of our party had roast dinner, there were plenty of other tasty options. I would highly recommend the mushroom in cheese and port sauce - could have eaten it as a main!! There is a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant and the staff are friendly and efficient.

Decided to have a meal at this pub as it allways looks nice every time we drive past. Nice staff nice surroundings. Very confusing menu over gluton.free , one menu said yes online menu said different. After ordering we was told chef had dropped some bread that wasnt gluton free in to the fryer so it made it unsuitable for gluten free. When food arrived it was so disappointing. Small portions and the amount of veg we got was a joke. Nice taste but so over priced.

Have visited now on a number of times. Staff are always extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. The pub is very accessible for our friend who is wheelchair bound. Yesterday staff moved us from our original table to one a little higher and easier to fit the wheelchair under. We like the wide ranging menu. Food is usually of a high quality. Yesterday we particularly enjoyed the gammon steak, egg and chips, the steak sandwiches and sticky chipotle chicken starter. We look forward to visiting again in the near future.

We always say with this place, its hit and miss. It was miss again this time. Here's what I don't understand. Portions: Some are huge - chicken, some are tiny, almost starters ie fish. All are served with a tiny egg cup of rocket, and on this occasion no vegetables were available! Steak was overcooked. Puddings, tiny! Wait - long! had to remind about drinks. Pie and Mash, well it was pie with a spoon of mash. Such small things to get right. Snappier drinks service, equal portion sizes, and better portions of potatoes and veg. Oh and the crispy potatoes, werent as they were covered in soy sauce. Also the constant use of the word by some staff of "darling" and "my lovelies" is not ingratiating its irritating.

Had a ACE Christmas here, the staff were wonderful and looked after you really well. The manager was very professional and made sure nothing went wrong at Christmas Dinner. She also sorts problems out very quickly. Very professional. The rooms are brilliant with a lovely roll top bath in there, and you sleep like a log to because it's very quiet and peaceful at night.

Today we drove to meet our friends, decided to meet half way and chose The Anchor pub for lunch. We ordered 2 jacket potatoes with beans n cheese, 1 ploughman’s & 1 wrap, looking around at an empty pub we figured it safe to keep it simple. However an hour later I was assured by the manager they were just plating up - really they shouldn’t have bothered it was the worst pub food I’d seen in years. Do not go here if you are looking for good food or a good atmosphere - this place has neither.
