The Kings Arms in Kettering

Used to be good, new owners have left it to the kids.

A little bit expensive... You have more choices really close that offer good paints for half the price. However it still maintains the essence of an English pub. You can have the first one here and the switch to the cheaper option

Best pub in thrapston, shoutout to Lou especially for being so lovely! ❤️

First time visit. Disengenuous and unwelcoming experience this evening.

Friendly local pub. Good atmosphere. Friendly staff. Made us feel welcome.

Came here for the first time to see one of our favourite bands and had a fantastic time. Hoping to come again soon.

We ordered a lot of tapas tonight every dish was lovely and seasoned just right. We usually have burgers and pizzas as we know they are great. The service was impeccable with lots of smiley faces. Efficient timings and the gin menu is extensive. Thanks guys.

Busy,great atmosphere. Good beers

Great Pub in the Heart of Thrapston.

Very comfortable very Covid aware. The service and drinks were excellent. Well done The Kings Arms.

Been twice - once for drinks on a girls night and once for dinner upstairs with the family. Both enjoyable.

Just wanted to say how fantastic the graze box was that we ordered and had delivered for a meeting today from Kings Grazing. We had the veggie box and a Greek salad, arrived on time and beautifully presented. The graze box was full of delicious cheeses, falafel, nuts, chutney, humus, crackers and fruits and the salad was lovely too. Incredible value and local too! Would recommend.

Only went in for a pint or two with my mates. An OK pub but above ave prices probably because it's a sports bar paying stupid Sky and BT fees

Food is absolutely cracking now. Highly recommended

Amazing food and able to cater for GF

Great pub, always loads going on and a good selection of beers. The new food menu is excellent and James is a great barman!

Love the food here! Please NEVER take the Moroccan hummus off the menu, love it! Not had anything I wouldn't have again! Great service too!

Nice place to pop in for some food and a drink. Great atmosphere...well done to all who work there 👍

Nice pint, nice efficient staff and a very nice Gambas from the menu 👍

Great pub! Super clean, lovely atmosphere, drinks are kept well, log burners a-plenty, and super friendly staff. Zero complaints! Well worth a visit....

Good looking place but lack of kindness and it has silly kitchen hours.

Really liked this place. Great dirty fries as well.

Great little boozer, Very popular with the locals ,nice atmosphere 👌

Great staff, food and atmosphere. My local for the last few years. Best in Thrapston !!

Lovely food, warm surroundings with efficient, pleasant and helpful staff.

Recently enjoyed a family meal upstairs. We were all very happy with our food,staff smiley and happy to help.thanks for a great meal

Fabulous tapas selection. Great staff. Quiz night was brilliant fun with delicious variety of tapas and drinks. Definitely recommend.

I came here with some mates to have some drinks and it was lovely. Drinks were affordable prices and the atmosphere was amazing. We were served by Louise who was very friendly and was more than happy to chat with us. Was an amazing experience and the Kings Arms has become one of my favourite pubs locally.

Great pub and atmosphere!! Pet friendly too!

Great specials and a lovely menu, catering well for gluten free too! Friendly staff, that always make you feel welcome. Great to have them in Thrapston - also dog friendly ☺️

Great pub with a lovely atmosphere and fantastic food. Coeliac friendly too!

First class local beer great pub

Went for a girls night out with my 2 colleagues. We had the tapas it was delicious.

We've just had a lovely meal here. The food is home cooked, easily the best pub in town, and good quality. They are obviously trying to do something different to the standard pub fayre and they have an interesting menu and always have a couple of specials. The beers are well kept, they have a wide selection of drinks, my only quibble is the wine selection could be broader. The staff are polite and friendly, and the overall service is good. I'd avoided this place for ages as it seemed a bit of a locals only bar but I've been proven wrong, it's really welcoming

Newly refurbished pub. Good selection of beers, wines & spirits. Pleasant outdoor seating area.

Nice pub very traditional and prices not extortionate..

Fantastic pub, great food, warm welcome and lovely beer garden!

I was looking forward to my visit to this lovely looking pub, passing through on my journey as was informed they had a pub garden, and were dog friendly, so I could bring my dog with me. It would have been a pleasant experience but the clientele in the pub were laughing and joking with the landlord about their transportation of live dogs which are bred locally, and taken to places for horrible experiments. It was very upsetting and it seems the landlord doesn't want to lose this particular '' regular'' and didn't care about my voicing my concerns. I had to leave with my dog as ruined what should have been a lovely day.

Great food and atmosphere. So glad it has reopened. Will be back soon 👍🍻

Great local pub, great food and wonderful friendly bar staff

Newly reopened after a fire. It's nice, light and airy decorated. It on two levels, it's a tranditional market town local with a pub garden.

Lovely specials, great friendly service.

A great pub that is extremely friendly and personable. They show the sport and have started serving food which is great.

Extremely quiet and spotlessly clean

Local for our football team. Friendly vibe and good beer on taps

A nice pub. Good sized. Some great entertainment is held there. People are friendly. Well worth a visit.

Decent ale. Sport on TV. Lively atmosphere.

Great pub, friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere

Good range of beers. Excellent tv coverage of main football events. Pleasant atmosphere.

Very nice local pub! Nice and friendly landlord!

Nice friendly pub, great staff, great customers good selection of beers

They didn't sell bottled water so I had to have something that I didn't want but they let me have tap water as well. I was impressed that the men's toilet cubicle had a lock and the crowd was brilliant! The karaoke men were lovely but they didn't start on time and they didn't have karaoke books to look through.

Very good service barman very friendly .

Was here watching a football game. Beer typically priced and service was pretty average overall not a place I would recommend but at same time not a place to avoid just does what it should.

Awesome experience. Award winning bartenders.

A quaint village pub with the river running nearby, always spoilt for choice where beers are concerned, and the food is delicious!

Nice people good place to relax 👌🏼

Amazing pub, excellent food best pub in thrapston if your looking for a great night out highly recommended

I found it very friendly,warm and very good food...oh! And the Guinness is beautiful ...

Nunca bastante tomadas en este pub pero tenía comida foros con mi esposa y mi nieto después de regresar de un viaje. Excelentes comidas todo el año, una cálida bienvenida de encargado Mick y genial escuchar interesantes de los planes para el futuro. Es sin duda lo que Desborough necesidades. Espero que la gente apoyo.

atended the kings arms last night and had the offer of two steaks and a bottle of wine for £22.99and it was great value the steak was just how i like it and the sides were well presented the staff were very attentative through the whole evening we will be back thank you very much paul and all your staff

Great pub, warm friendly welcoming family atmosphere. Fantastic mouthwatering freshly cooked food with very generous portions that cannot be faulted. Cant wait to try the next delicious meal off their exciting menu.

Please read the review from September 18th.....that sums it up ....also, the pictures used on this advert are NOT of food being served.....they belong to the previous owners .....shocking .....surely you cannot advertise something you do not serve !?

Llamamos a los brazos de Reyes el jueves por la noche 25 de septiembre por un bocado para comer y tomar una copa. Era nuestra primera vez y no sabíamos lo que nos esperaba, pero nos quedamos gratamente sorprendidas. La comida estaba bien hecha, generosa ayuda y caliente ... estaba fuera de este mundo delicioso! Tuve la casa vino tinto que fuimos muy bien!! El personal era muy servicial y educado. nos sentimos que la gente de Desborough tienen una pequeña joya en el medio ... sin duda te llamaré de nuevo pronto!

Buen ambiente, muy amable y atento personal. El menú ofrece una imaginativa variedad de comidas, junto con las opciones convencionales intercalado. Podemos recomendar encarecidamente la hamburguesa de chili, que era una torre de apetecible de jugoso Burger, bacon, aros de cebolla y salsa salsa casera en un equipaje ligero un pan tostado brioche, delicioso.El sofocante pollo sin duda está a la altura de su nombre, llegando en una sartén de hierro, escupir y silbido y olor maravilloso. Llena de sabrosos, pollo picante, cebollas, pimientos y queso era absolutamente deliciosos. Lo que un cambio refrescante de la monótona comida típica de pub servida en pubs ingleses. No puedo esperar a probar uno de los otros atributos tentadores opciones en oferta!

Comimos aquí por primera vez con la familia ayer por recomendación de unos amigos que han sido unas cuantas veces últimamente. La comida era buena y el personal era muy servicial. Uno de nuestro grupo tenía el deshielo de pollo que parecía delicioso y la barbacoa mixta también tenía muy buena. Yo diría que probablemente se percibe el black pudding en los platos de carne. Patatas fritas eran encantadores, las que verdaderamente casero patatas fritas para un cambio. Sin duda vamos a volver, ya que está casi en la puerta. Estamos esperando que el chili será una buena elección la próxima vez. Una cosa que me podría recomendar sería para reemplazar la máquina expendedora en el aseo de señoras con uno más adecuado para la familia viendo!

Nuestra última comida familiar aquí (bajo la administración de Montys) había sido estupendo. Esta visita significa que no volveremos. El restaurante no estaba lleno (5 otros comensales) y sin embargo, nuestras comidas principales tomó más de 1,5 horas! La lasaña tenía una capa superior de pasta dura de lasaña de rock que era sólido. Los sizzlers (en sartén) eran muy grasosa y demasiados cebollas y pimientos, la hamburguesa había sido ordenados sin un bollo de pan y vino con uno y las patatas fritas eran bañadas en grasa. Para un jueves por la noche no tenían 3 de las principales comidas y 1 de los aperitivos. También uno de nuestro grupo dijeron que para ayudar a sí mismos de hielo de el cubo de hielo con su mano! En la cima de las damas aseos deberían de haber cerrado. Con una fuga a través de la lámpara gotas de agua en ambos recintos. Cuando protestamos el gerente no nos cobraron por la lasaña y también nos regalaron una botella de vino. Apenas había una disculpa y estos gestos no compensar. Los espectaculares mejoras que necesitan ir muy rápidamente si no van a perder sus habitantes lealtad.

I would recommend anyone wanting a good meal and a friendly face to try them out, you will not hesitate to visit again and again and again and.....I think you get my drift x

Un grupo de nosotros visitamos para salir a comer el viernes por la noche. Había estado antes unas cuantas veces y fue una comida estupenda cada vez, pero el resto del grupo fueron las primeras que había mucha gente de tiempo. El encargado Monty tenía sólo launchedca nuevo menú y fue excelente. Todos nos eligió comidas diferentes y todos estaban muy bien presentada y sabía tan bien como parecía. Los precios oscilaban entre dos comidas por £12 a £12 todos tenían una buena relación calidad-precio. Si visita Desborough hazte un favor e ir a comer, beber y ser feliz con Monty.

Hemos estado aquí por unas pocas comidas con amigos y familia y nunca me ha decepcionado que tienen una selección de 2 platos por 12,00 libras también una junta especiales

Lived in.Desborough a few years. Never stepped into this pub before now but will definitely again. Meal was lovely (master chef style!)- home cooked quality ingredients. Well done to new landlord and fab chef! Thoroughly recommend to locals and anyone.passing through!

At last somewhere, other than Indian or Chinese to eat in Desborough. Excellent food,service but the presentation is worthy of any top class restaurant !!!....cannot recommend it highly enough.

All the staff are all very freindly and happy to help.There is good selection of quilty homemade food with a very good atmosphere which makes you feel welcome.

Best pub food I've ever had not your run of the meal microwave crap!! Fresh food cooked and presented to perfection :-) will definately be visiting again and recommend to all my friends new management and bar staff are fab and very welcoming and the new chef can actually cook and not just operate a microwave deserves a pat on the back!!

Sunday lunch - proper meat, home made yorkshire pubs, fresh veg, excellent service, and to round it off - proper mint gravy with my roast lamb. Life does not get better than this ! 2 for £12 offer as well during the week I beleive.Finally good food returns to Desborough - sigh of relief.....

Delicious food, served very promptly with a smile and a price to suit all. I can thoroughly recommend this establishment.

We wanted to go for Sunday lunch so chose the Kings Arms as it was round the corner so we could walk. Sunday lunch was advertised from 12 noon to 5pm so we walked up just after 3pm. There were about a dozen people in the pub with a very bored looking barman. We were told food had finished as they had 'sold out'!! We looked into the restaurant area to see one table of 4 people, all other tables were empty and cleared. There was one table set for 4 with a "reserved" sign in the middle. The hot plate serving area was still on with various dishes covered in silver foil. We'd obviously just missed the coach parties that had eaten them out of house and home, though what the people who'd reserved a table were going to get, who knew? With such obvious bad planning, we may have been saved from an experience we'd rather forget!!

Had an amazing meal last night, there were 10 people, everything came out at the same time, all food was well cooked and just as we ordered. A big thank you to the hard working staff at the kings you are amazing. Thanks x

the sunday carvery is well cooked and hot there is a good selection but i think there should be mash or new potatoes as well as roast potatoes
