Kings Arms Georgeham in North Devon

News years eve meal was excellent. Best food around georgham and croyde. After the meal they pushed the tables aside to create a dance floor for a new years party. We had a fantastic evening. The staff are super friendly and attentive highly recomend this place

After a long drive from the midlands, our late Sunday lunch at the Kings Arms was really welcome. The service was efficient and the food tasty and excellent quality. We had the roast beef and roast lamb and both were very good. Generous vegetable portions too and the Yorkshire Puddings a definite highlight. Thank you!

Amazing Sunday lunch at the kings arms. Huge portions, wonderful tastes. Can't wait to come again!

We had a brilliant experience at the kings arms, we had two babies who required high chairs, and there were. 7 of grown ups … every thing was ready for us and the service was 5 star .

After a disappointing visit a couple of weeks ago which was dealt with very professionally. We returned to have an amazing Roast with very good service. Lovely staff warm,friendly and welcoming would definitely recommend.

The whole experience was a great. Make sure you book though as it was very popular. The pub looks good, the staff were friendly and the food was amazing.

Unfortunately won’t be returning as the service was not good. Food was okay but cold. When ask if we wanted to see the desert menu. Nobody came to take our order. So we paid and left.

Not our first visit to the King's Arms, certainly won't be our last. Sunday Roast is delicious. One vegetarian, one chicken. Both SoOoo good. Service is fast, efficient and friendly. There was a very large party of diners getting ready to leave as we arrived. We were seated promptly and given our menus. Once the revellers had vacated the staff cleared/cleaned/re-laid in a speedy and efficient manner. Putting everything to rights for the next sitting of diners. And in they came. We were all served quickly with true efficiency.

Fantastic Sunday roast. I don’t understand the recent comment as we were there the same day and it was absolutely delicious. We came in April this year and we just had to come back. The food is delicious, we actually came 2 days in a row, one for Sunday roast and the other for an evening meal. Impeccable service both times and gorgeous food. A real gem, definitely worth a visit or two! We will be back.

Service was good, however the roast was less than average, potatoes were less than roasted, a watery tasteless cauliflower, broccoli and cheese with no cheese. Other dull looking veg and over powering gravy. Such a shame as I’d been recommended and had really looked forward to our meal.

We had the most delicious meals at Kings Arms during our holiday in Georgeham (highly recommend the pork!). We ended up eating at the pub 3 times in 1 week because it was so good! Super friendly staff and brilliant with my allergies.

Great pub the service was fabulous there managed to fit us in as we never book on Sunday the carvary was perfect even with out the gravey as I don't have any but the wife loved it price was very good would highly recommend this pub 😀

The best Sunday lunch I've ever had! So so good! Every part of it was cooked beautifully and tasted delicious 😋

Love the Kings Arms. Really welcoming and food was excellent, they certainly don't hold back on their portions. I had the seafood linguine and my husband the pork with crispy crackling, absolutely delicious. We had a chat with the chef after the meal and he really knew his stuff. The pub always trys to use locally sourced products which is always a good sign that a lot of care and thought is put into the menus.

Superb experience with excellent food.

What a fantastic village pub. Clearly we'll supported by locals we were greeted by friendly staff. Well decorated and maintained - it felt like somewhere to relax a while! So we did. Good selection of beers, wines, ciders etc and an open fire. Menu was comprehensive with additional "specials". Tasty food, great value and I am certain that we'll be back again!

Just been back to this place and had the venison meal (Oct '24) and it was exceptional. The picture does no justice what so ever to the Venison meal me and my friend had..it was superb, as was the service and ambiance Whole heartedly recommended and I will be back.

We were a larger group and we must’ve been at least a bit of a nuisance at times - but staff were very gracious and accommodating, the pub was lovely and the roast was incredible. A wonderful experience, highly recommend.

Hands down best food we’ve had in Croyde and the surrounding area in 20 years of visiting. Staff friendly and atmosphere warm and welcoming with a log fire going. Tempted to say it’s terrible so it stays a secret!

Went om a weekend caravan holiday with my wife brother in law and his wife and decided to go fo Sunday lunch and found this place. Turned up slightly late which they were more than accomodating with. Really fast service, lovely staff and delicious food.one of the best Sunday dinners I've ever had. More than enough veg to go round the four of us and asked for extra gravy they brought loads 😍

Lovely. Open real fire. Friendly barman. Great beer👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Super friendly people, excellent food, large portions well presented and great flavours, will definitely be back.

We are staying locally for 2 nights and came to the Kings Arms for both! We had the Sunday roast which was amazing, so lovely. Such a nice atmosphere and the food was super yummy. Would definitely recommend their Sunday roast! We came back the day after and had an evening meal and it was delicious!

Lovely cosy pub that does excellent seafood and a very good Sunday roast. Can highly recommend the beef roast and the sticky toffee pudding (one of the best I've had)

The best Sunday Roast anywhere! We found the local facebook page recommended The Kings Arms and it certainly was worth the drive up to this pretty little village and its friendly pub. Their excellent Chef Kevin brings culinary refinement without being pretentious… or expensive! Beautifully presented food, nice touches with the roast such as crispy parsnip, Cauliflower and Broccoli cheese, and an utterly delicious reduced parsnip puree. There was even an extra jug of delicious gravy brought as standard!

Fantastic atmosphere, lovely venue Wonderful meal pork Ribs , seafood linguine and steak fab ice cream sundae to die for, staff amazing defiantly return next year while on Holidays.

What a lovely place, food service and atmosphere. We have been coming to North Devon for the last Severn years found this place last year and has now become our favourite lunch and evening meal location without a doubt!! The freshly cooked meals are excellent never had anything I had a problem with even trying new things!! The Bambi steak was an eye opener going to look at deer with hungry eyes from now on!

One of the nicest roasts I've ever had, maybe the best. Absolutely delicious. Went for the pork belly and it was outstanding.

Nice and friendly staff, from the owner to the waiting staff. I had stupidly booked for the wrong day, but the they were ever so accomadating and was able to fit in me and my family although they were extremely busy. Food was amazing, compliments to the chef, will definitely be back!!!!

Very good food too and a good choice. Made to feel really welcome.

I was disgusted when I went here, one of the young men that surved me (not to name names) kept cat calling me to fellow employees and said something about my underage child that I will not repeat…disgusting

Friendly pub with a good range of beers available. Nice environment and prompt service.

This is the best pub for miles around - good food , great atmosphere and excellent service . Sunday lunch was outstanding

Absolutely THE best Sunday roast anywhere .. fantastic meat and fresh vegetables

What an excellent evening. Just the best food, cooked really well, and in interesting combinations that worked really well together, like the superb venison steak I had with Stilton mash, a variety of green veg, and a nice sauce. Really good service - and funny to find that the owner is from the next village to us in Leicestershire!

We were staying in town for a few days, what a delightful little pub — excellent food, lovely service, the staff were very kind and squeezed us in to feed our tired and hungry kids even though they were fully booked. So appreciated, a lot of love and care goes into how this business is run and you can feel it when you walk through the door. We already miss the Kings Arms!

Family of 4, we hadn't booked but they managed to squeeze us in. Staff were chatty, friendly and attentive. Food was lovely with decent portions and the price was very reasonable. Would highly recommend.

Had another fantastic meal. 3 year coming here and love it. Staff very friendly and good at what they do

We've been to this pub a few times and I have to say it's just about perfect , a warm welcome upon entry, the service is wonderfully warm and engaging and the food is incredible, I had the pie and my wife had a beautiful curry and we were blown away by how delicious they were , this is a must visit for anyone in the area

We had probably the best Sunday roast I have ever had here. The lamb and beef, along with all of the accompaniments, were delicious. The service was fantastic also.

Staff were nice but not too friendly. The pub itself was very impressive, open planned and very relaxing. The tables were large, even for just 2 people and there was plenty of space. The food took a while to come and it was not busy that evening. The food was tasty and for what it was I found it overpriced. Both had burgers and was surprised to see instead of a wooden picks through the top of the buns to keep the burger together, was instead a sharp cutting knife on each bun instead! Was that safe?? Again, there was the option or request to add a tip with the waitress stood in front of you and the minimum tip to give was 10% which was £5 for bringing out food and taking it away! Of course, you don’t have to tip but the more shy customer would feel guilty not tipping. (I did tip 10% which is the lowest option). This is not a requirement in this country so the practice of this should be stopped, especially when they’re stood in front of you watching you tip or not. Again, dogs allowed in the eating area is not hygienic and the tipping pressure, was the only downside.

Hats off to the chef this was an Absolutely beautiful roast, up there with the best around north devon. Everything was cooked brilliantly and tasted lovely.

Stayed in Georgeham recently, so The Kings Arms became our local for a few nights. The Sunday roast (especially the beef) was brilliant; hearty portions and full of flavour, and the menu in general was excellent. The Pie of The Day was a particular favourite, although we couldn’t sample them all, along with some excellent veggie options. Cosy little pub with a great atmosphere.

We went for dinner for our last night in Devon. Reserving by phone was simple, the customer service was warm & friendly and the food was amazing! The best venison steak dinner I've ever had! I fully recommend this hidden Devon treasure!

I love quality food and believe me the Sunday roast experience was as good as it gets I try hard to look for faults here there was none the staff were attentive, polite and efficient this was the rock roll of cuisine highly recommended

Second time visiting, Sunday roast just as good and delicious as I remembered. Helpful, friendly staff that accommodated us with a baby and a 2 year old. Service was prompt and lots of drinks choice. Will definitely be returning.

A great find for lunch with friends whilst staying in Woolacombe recently. Superb food served on the sun trap balcony by the very friendly owner. The food was so good we booked a return for Sunday lunch which did not disappoint!! I rarely have a roast out as I always feel they’re never as good as home cooked but this surpassed all my expectations!! Very friendly and efficient staff serving fab food in great surroundings!! A little gem

The seafood linguine with seasbass was so fresh and delicious. A vast menu and great service - definitely recommend if you’re in the area!

We've been here many times over the years but last night was disappointing. The food has become very expensive for a pub, £10.50 for a small starter, £25 most mains and £9 for a desert. It cost us £90 for two of us for 2 courses with 2 beers. The chef is clearly trying to be creative and adding in unusual ingredients and for me it just spoiled what could be nice food. As a pescatarian it was annoying that the two fish starters had meat added - Nduja crumb to squid (husband had this and said he couldn't taste difference anyway) and chorizo cream to mussels. As a main I had sea bass with a seafood linguine - the sea bass was just a half of one fillet so about 5cm big (disappointing for £24). The linguine came with a garlic cream sauce which was very garlicky and a bit too strong for my taste. It was served in a silly shaped bowl so it was difficult to eat and the sauce all pooled at the bottom. The whole thing covered in a salty parmesan crumb that totally overwhelmed the flavour. Parmesan is just too strong a flavour for delicate seafood. I know places are trying to be different and justify prices but frankly with good local ingredients you really don't have to mess about with food so much. Keep it simple and let the ingredients speak for themselves.

Wow what a fantastic lunch we had , compliments to the chef . All cooked freshly & full of flavour, great sized portions & varied menu . Very friendly & helpful waiting staff , highly recommend this pub

We have returned again within a month for another Roast dinner at the Kings Arms in Georgeham and on our second visit it did not disappoint. I will say it's definitely one of the best Sunday roast dinners I've had in 35 years, so a big credit to the chef here. The landlord is very welcoming. It has a lovely atmosphere inside. Would highly recommend 👍

This was our third trip here in 3 years, and unlike most places the head chef (Kevin) was here on each occasion, having been here for 5 years. The menu was very interesting and varied, we both had a delicious pork dish with an amazing cider, cream and mustard sauce, it was divine. The whole atmosphere was really good, and whilst it being a food establishment, the bar area was still frequented by locals, which only added to the charm of the place. It must be said that the whole team here extremely pleasant and work very well together, both Kevin and the assistant chef Ryan were very pleasant and understated people, Ryan even gave us a lift home, and he actually lives in the opposite direction!!

Great lunch here on a Saturday having walked from Damage Barton campsite. Landlord very friendly including calling a taxi for us as we didn’t fancy the walk back. Would definitely recommend

When my husband and I stay in Croyde we always visit this pub as good selection of draft beers, good food and cosy pub. We booked for a Saturday evening no trouble getting a table although fairly busy. Whilst enjoying a pint food orders taken. We both opted for fish & chips for mains. Dessert baileys brioche bread £ butter pudding & treacle tart both with custard Both courses good although prices have shot up since our last visit

Best pub best food great staff gets busy.

Fantastic food, friendly staff.

Came here whilst staying in croyde, was a busy Sunday lunchtime on a bank holiday weekend, was told there was no slots for Sunday lunch,had a drink and the owner came up too us and said he will try his best too fit us in which he did,so me and the wife had Sunday lunch lovely food and pub.

The best Sunday lunch we’ve had out ever! Friendly welcome, lovely dining / bar area and good young serving staff. Between us we had beef, lamb and pork which were all cooked to and served to perfection with delicious vegetable accompaniment. We will definitely be back (and the dog was welcome).

Absolutely fabulous Sunday lunch. We had Roast lamb Roast beef

A fantastic meal with excellent service. We absolutely loved the pie of the day, fish and chips and friendly atmosphere. Can't wait to return.

We had Sunday dinner here whilst on holiday, and it was one of the nicest we have had in a very long time. Cosy pub, friendly staff and the most amazing bread and butter pudding! We will definitely be back.

This is the second time we have eaten here as we visit Woolacombe for a holiday every other year. The first time four of us had an evening meal with starters and I would give it a 10/10! This time round we booked a Sunday roast for 11 of us including children and young adults. I would like to say its the best Sunday roast we have had eating out in a very long time! The pub is very country like, the landlady and landord are very welcoming, the staff are friendly and the food and service is superb! If you are away from home and looking for sowhere with great food, take it from me this is the place! We will definitely be back in the future!! Thank you very much.

Top class service and food especially since during easter week chefs were in shortage. Cannot recommend the place and staff enough as every year for our annual visit to Ruda it is always so so good!

Really tasty food, efficient and friendly service at the right price. A real gem.

Had Sunday lunch today as staying in a cottage in Darracott. I am only a small eater so ordered Small size. What a surprise I got when it arrived 6 choices of Veg plus Roasties. The Sirloin was so succulent and great Yorkshire pud. Dog friendly.

We were early on a Saturday lunch and it was delicious. Really impressed. Cracking team as well. Huge thanks

Amazing roast! Lovely food, friendly staff and very accommodating when we had some last min changes to our party - would definitely come back!

Fantastic pub with warm atmosphere, excellent service and the most amazing vegetarian food I have had whilst dining out in over 10 years!! Thank you 🤩 (and to the chef for the mushroom en croute recipe 😉)

Great menu, wonderful village and local pub. The pub was lovely, lively and full which is great to see out of season. Food was delicious and hearty. Really lovely staff who were very attentive

Lovely old pub with good beers and friendly staff. The roast lamb Sunday dinner was the best i have ever had.

Exceptional Sunday roast dinner 🍽 😋

Oh wow what a find . Had there Sunday roast. Wasn't booked in but they fitted us in. So glad the food was stunning roast lamb and roast beef . Both were so well cooked presented and just so satisfying. Will be going back

Great pub and one of the best local beers I've ever tasted (tarka) 100% needs to be tried

A wonderful experience altogether! Starting with a fabulous genuine welcome by the owner, followed by a very prompt drinks order & appreciatively quick delivery. All 4 starters were very tasty, all mains wonderful! Nice size dishes. Just sad our middle daughter succumbed quite unwell so we couldn’t stay for what promised to be, amazing desserts. Would definitely recommend & look forward to returning.

The pub is cosy and atmospheric and full on a random night in early Feb. It’s warm and welcoming and everyone is super friendly, we felt immediately at home. We had the Exmoor Food Festival Menu which had a lot of choice. There was Venison and Mackeral for starters which were just beautiful. We tried all the options between a group of friends and all argued ours was best! Onto the main course. It’s hard to say how amazing the sea trout was with all its accompaniments. Each mouthful was just amazing. My husband had the pork - it was so soft and the Dijon sauce was to die for. The potato was perfectly cooked, slightly crisp on the outside and super fluffy inside. The veg was all perfect too. The puddings were varied and stunning. I had the ginger parkin with so many lovely accompaniments. Everyone else in our group loved theirs too. All in all I can’t recommend this highly enough - we’ll be back! If you are looking for a lovely pub with fantastic food this is your place!

If you like a proper pub, this is the place for you. If you like food that makes you start talking about Master Chef, this is the place for you. If you just want to go out of an evening and feel better when you get home, this is the place for you. Loved it!

One of the best roast dinners we've ever eaten. The lamb and beef were flavoursome, tender and perfectly cooked. And the sides... wow, there was so much variety, and all of them were delicious! It's a great country pub and we will definitely come back!

Lovely venue with superb service, food and atmosphere.

Had a really lovely Sunday lunch here with 5 uni friends down to visit. Really friendly place they found us a great table in the bar and looked after us all very well. Lunch was great, beef cooked perfectly (not overdone) and there was Otter on tap which I love. Will definitely be back, thank you 🙏

After reading the reviews for Sunday lunch here we had expectations. Firstly, upon booking I was advised that it wouldn't be a problem to order a gluten-free Yorkshire pudding/gluten-free lunch at the time of ordering. Upon arrival we were told that this was inaccurate information, they apologised said that they didn't know who would have told us this. Obviously they could and should find out! For a Celiac this inaccuracy would have devastating. The meal was average. Stringy, fatty, roast beef which we struggled to cut with the cutlery provided. Soft tasteless roast potatoes, we prefer crispy. The array of vegetables was excellent and perfectly cooked. The gravy was watery and tasteless. The waitress told us that she would bring gluten-free cauliflower cheese later, it never arrived. The pub itself is charming, warm, a cosy log burner, lovely surroundings. Such a shame the food let it down. We regularly dine out for Sunday Lunch , therefore comparisons are naturally made.

Family meal for 7 of us on NYE. Food was delicious and the service friendly and efficient. One of our favourite pubs whenever we visit Croyde.

Went on the 31st December for 7 of us, had excellent service ,food was very tastefull with a great choice. Great atmosphere ,will go again soon

Cosy wood burning stove, efficient and friendly service and one of the best pies I've ever had.

Waiting staff fantastic, atmosphere great. Bar staff especially Mr Waistcoat rude, seems like they are doing you favour.

New Year’s Eve meal! Absolutely stunning!! One of the nicest meals we have eaten. Staff was amazing also! Will be returning!

We just had the most lovely Christmas Day drinks here, the guys were so lovely, and such a fab, warm, cosy atmosphere! We will definitely be making many more stops here 😃

Ate at the Kings Arms today for lunch and had a sensational meal. Excellent food, great hospitality and nice Christmassy feel too.

Really good food, both starters and mains. Dessert wise, the Sunday was nice but other non-ice cream only desserts were nicer. Wait times were a little long (~35mins for the starter) , however the food was worth the wait. Staff all friendly and helpful. Party of 7 on a Friday evening

Love the walk over from Woolacombe and the fab Sunday Lunch at The Kings Arms never disappoints. Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding; yum yum.

Pre-booked a Saturday evening slot for 6 of us. A super meal ; Would recommend the mussels and the belly pork starters , calamari unmemorable. The mains were 5 out of 6 good ; venison was excellent, hake, I was told, was very good as was the curry but the belly pork main course was dry and totally underwhelming ( one to avoid ).

Excellent food, couldn't fault the quality, portion size or price. Would highly recommend! Must be said though that the large family who decided to come in, take over the whole room, complain about everything and let their dogs rome freely through the restaurant put a dampener on things. Would have stayed for dessert but these people made us want to leave as quickly as possible. Felt sorry for the owners and staff having to deal with them.

We have tried to book before but was fully booked, so always make a reservation. It was such a lovely sight to see a village pub full of locals and weekend breakers. The meal was delicious, lamb and chicken with red cabbage which tasted like 'Christmas on a plate'. Can't praise this perfect find enough!

Went for lunch with my family and dog. Always come here when I’m in the area. Ordered the pie, their pies are never disappointing. Proper pies with a bottom not just a top and crammed full of meat. All the food we ordered was lovely and generous portions. Great value for money, excellent service.

Extremely nice traditional pub to visit varied menu Sunday lunch was very good quality will be going again to try the rest of the menu, owners really friendly and welcoming must see place to visit and eat.

Our group dined their most evenings. The food was excellent. The Venison steak in a mushroom sauce with dauphinoise potatoes and fresh veg was excellent. As were the Mussels and homemade chicken pie. All of our group loved every meal. The staff and management were helpfull and friendly. Cant wait to go back.

This pub is amazing! I visited with a group of 11 and several people had dietary requirements which were easily catered for. We all agreed that the roast was the best we had ever had and the staff were friendly and accommodating and the pub itself was cosy. Not having the normal nut roast as the veggie option for the roast was also well received. Would definitely recommend!

This was a disappointing visit; too many "little" things amiss to ignore. (In My Opinion) The Landlord is very welcoming and cheery but dresses and presents himself "unsuitably" even for a country pub serving food. Neither he nor the table crew know too much about the dishes on the menu. The pie was NOT shortcrust pastry. Portions are generous and I think better quality for smaller portions may pay off! Starters were the best part of theist.

Such a hidden gem. We happened to pass the pub and decided to go for some tea as a treat and it really did not disappoint. Big portions, absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend this

Lovely cosy pub/restaurant and easy free parking directly across the road. We took our labrador with us. Initially we were seated upstairs, which was next to the kitchen and quite loud and not much atmosphere. We asked if there were any tables downstairs and were moved straight away to a cosy table downstairs. The main restaurant area is lovely and very busy but with a nice atmosphere. Lots of people with well behaved dogs, which was nice to see. The staff were friendly and attentive. THE FOOD: Well what can i say!? It was absolutely gorgeous. Easily the best roast dinner I've ever had and my husband had the vegetable Wellington and said exactly the same thing. Full of flavour with veggies and a Yorkshire pudding and accompanying cauliflower and broccoli cheese, and cabbage in separate dishes, plus meat and veggie gravy boats. We ordered pudding, and again, we were not disappointed, it was absolutely delicious! We would definitely rate it 10/10 and would book again in a heartbeat if we were ever this way again.

Best food we've had in many atime don't go elsewhere brilliant staff Paul so helpful fitted us in atmosphere really good wish we had this pub in Bath....12 out of 10..John an Lin.
