This was a good find. Staff were friendly and helpful. We ate in on the first night and the food was good. The pub and rooms have good character - old but in a good way 😀. The only down side is that there's a bit of noise in the room - both from the road and the pub downstairs. I would happily stay there again though.

The Kings arms hosted my grandfathers wake a few months ago and I cannot recommend them enough. They were kind and helpful when setting up the wake at short notice, they even offered for us to drop over some pictures of my grandfather earlier in the day of the wake, so they could put the photos up on the walls as a memorial. It was lovely for the extended friends and family to see pictures of my grandfather from over the years. The food was also lovely, there was a few packages to choose from and they also catered for a few family members allergies. At events like this there is usually a lot of leftovers but the food was so good everything got eaten during the wake and revived a lot of complaints. Thanks again to the team there, we really appreciate your kindness at such a difficult time

Parking is minimal. Just let them know if you block someone in. They are a good bunch. Right next to the station. Service is spot on. Beer garden is big with plenty of tables. There is an under cover outdoor area. Food is a bit ‘beige’ but it was hot.

Charming pub in the middle of Stanstead village. Very nice room and only a stones throw from the station that offers direct and regular services to the airport. Limited parking. Very nice food menu and great service from the team. Good selection of wines and beers.

I wouldn't visit this again because the servers frowned at me and they didn't really talk to me the people around me were grumpy and when I said thank you I got no response and they looked me wierdley as well and it's not just me my modle friend Hannah and her friends went there and she said the same thing she's never going back there I don't recommend this it's very busy as well so it's not really good for kids if they don't like busy spaces or loud noises I think the servers need to be more friendley and intract with there customers more for example saying how are you and smiling at them as thry walk out not frowning

Everything fried just tasted like oil and thick batter - the crispy prawns were just thick oily breadcrumbed batter as was the Korean chicken in the burger. Nice for a drink but do not order food!

Popped in with the family enroute to holiday. So glad we did as a very friendly, cozy pub with good food. Enjoyed a massive breakfast with hubby having eggs Benedict. On top of that the place is dog friendly with a lovely rear garden for the kids.

Stayed the night here after a flight. Such a welcoming place, couldn't do more for us, made sure we were fed, set up a bed for the girls even though there was a small mix up in the booking. Food was great, really good options for the kids and beer was excellent. Highly recommend if in the area. Thanks for our stay.

Had an enjoyable experience at this pub, but a couple of months after our visit we were charged with a £180 fine for parking in the customer car park. When asked, the manager told us they would clear the charge for us but ultimately did not and said they couldn’t help us. We were forced to pay this amount simply for using a car park as customers. Evidently, there is a tiny sign outside telling customers to register their number plate if you are parking there but we were not prompted by any member of staff to do so. It is completely unacceptable and unheard of to even have to look for a sign when parking as a customer at an establishment. The pub takes a percentage of this parking charge and so clearly enjoys causing their customers a stressful experience for the sake of a bit of extra money (on top of our £250 bill we paid that day). Will never be visiting this pub again - completely incompetent management and ridiculous parking regulations.

Christmas Market on possibly one of the coldest days so far. Lovely collection of stalls with everything from handmade chocolates to Christmas tree decorations. Mulled wine kept you toasty and spirits were high. This is a great village pub that has everything from Wreath Making to regular Quiz Nights. These type of places are rare these days but the Kings Arms is definitely a community pub with a great atmosphere.

Wasn't impressed with the Sunday roast. Meat was okay but limp veg, soggy potatoes and the weakest gravy I've ever seen. It was almost comedic in it's lack of quality - sort of food you'd see on Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. If it had been cheap - then that might have been something; but it wasn't. Wouldn't recommend and won't be returning.

If we could give 0 stars we would. The food was awful. My dad had the roast beef dinner. The meat was so tough. You coukdnt really cut it. The chips me and my sister had were disgusting. Tasted like they had been recooked and they are definitely oven chips. The fish was OK. But wasn't even a full size of fish. You get 1 table spoon of mushy peas. Which is ridiculous. The burger was more of an mc Donald's sausage burger.because we didn't tell them it was disgusting and the fact we hadn't eaten all day. With two disabled members of family there and we needed to get home for medication ect.. Sadly we paid the bill. We should of gone to McDonald's. I wouldn't recommend coming here. I'm glad we don't live local nearly £14 for fish and chips which just looked pathetic.

First time here and had a very nice evening, nice welcome and very Christmassy look and feel. Very warm and cosy feeling to the place. Staff welcomed us and Laura served us throughout, she was lovely and a real credit to you, nothing was too much trouble. Started with the crispy duck and ribs which were amazing, the table had lots of different starters and everyone said the same…. Yum. Mains went down very well too and good portion sizes, everything was hot and well presented. We was a large group and everyone was served food at same time in a timely manner. Lovely evening, thank you

This is a review for the restaurant/food not the hotel. I can honestly say this was by far one of the worst meals I personally have had and my family have had in a long long time. We were a large group who had travelled from various parts of the UK to meet here as it was a central place to meet. From the moment we ordered to the moment the starters came we had been sitting for nearly 2 hours. I ordered the chorizo and prawn starter - I had two small prawns in a bowl of tomato slush that tasted days old and microwaved. The rest of the starters were equally poor quality with my brother even stopping half way through to go to the bathroom as he felt unwell. The mains were equally as poor, my wife left her fish and picked at her chips. My brother ate a mouthful of his burger and left it as did my grandma with her scampi which tasted frozen and rushed. Service was appallingly slow, food quality was terrible and overall hugely disappointing.. The manager took money of the bill which barely paid for two of the starters - I would steer well clear if you want a decent pub meal that’s fulfilling, wholesome and timely. The staff seemed overwhelmed and under it with the pub being busy but that should never be at detriment to the restaurant - if you can’t handle both then just close the restaurant as this was beyond poor! we as a large family will never be back which is a shame as the village is stunning. Be better!! Or get more training!

So disappointed in our visit. We braved the crowds and visited the market on a Saturday afternoon. The pub looked warm and welcoming on a very cold day. We were ushered to the bar when we first got there while a table was made ready for us. Only waited 10 minutes which was great. Ordered some bread and olives which took 20 minutes to arrive …. We should have taken more notice of the timing!!! After an hour of waiting for our lunch (a chicken wrap and a roast beef sandwich) we asked for the bill and for our order to be cancelled. The waitress apologised and offered us our sandwiches free of charge but quite frankly we’d had enough of waiting. Won’t bother going back but if you want to wait ages for food, it might suit you. All the gear and no idea springs to mind!!!

We came here for my birthday this year based on the menu we saw online and the fact that we’d come here last year and always meant to make it back. I called earlier in the day to check regarding children’s menu and a gluten free menu and was told not to worry as all food is made fresh and there was usually as a minimum a burger and fish a chips that fulfilled this. I enquired whether I had to make a booking for this afternoon and was told to just come down. How I wish We didn’t bother and chose somewhere Else. We were the only ones in the restaurant when we arrived and for a fair duration after, and was told that even though they opened at 5 they wouldn’t take a food order until 6pm. Which is of course fine, so we had ample time to prepare our order and was ready to order as soon as they were ready to take it! We the proceeded to wait 55 minutes before even a peek of food turned up and only because we had asked how long it would be after 45 minutes and again after nearly an hour. When the food came it was luke warm at best, so cold for other diners that it got sent back for a quick dunk back in some oil. Fish was so bland and watery, and the peas came in their own little bowl of water which was nice, nearly as nice as the 4 hairs that we found across the meals, naturally half way through the meal but we darent send anything back with 4 starving children and a very strong Will to get the hell out of there. Please- save yourself the pain of this place and go somewhere Else.
