My partner and I visited with our puppy today for lunch. The food and drinks were delicious and we were made to feel very welcome by the staff and the locals. A great pub with a brilliant atmosphere that is definitely worth a visit. We can’t wait to go back.

Had Sunday lunch, I had traditional Roast Pork with the usual accompaniments. Partner and daughter had Katsu and Nut Roast respectively. Everyone thought food was great in terms of taste and quantity, atmosphere good so no negatives. One tiny point, although we had booked a table and the table was available, it wasn't made clear that you ordered at the bar and the impression I got when we came in was that it was table service so we waited for 15 minutes before finding out. To end on a plus the price at around £17 each I thought very reasonable for Surrey (we were guests in the county).

We went for a spontaneous Christmas lunch with work colleagues-we rang ahead to book the table and to ask if we needed to pre-order food (as we knew it would be busy!) When we arrived, the server had no idea of the booking. We were showed to our table after some confusion and were told it would be an hours wait for food. It was busy, however not to the point where food should take an hour. We told them if it would be longer than this, we would need the food to takeaway. An hour goes by and no food. We asked how much longer it would be and were told another 20 minutes. Bearing in mind this was for sandwiches and chips-not main meals. We had to request to get the food to takeaway. Not once during all of this was there an apology. They were clearly understaffed, which is not fair on the servers. However, an update/apology about the wait would've been appreciated. It's a shame as the pub is lovely-traditional and cosy. The food itself was also very nice, however cold by the time we got back to the office to eat it!!

The King's Arms is an ancient pub, timber framed, added on to over the centuries and generally interesting. It has a sort of island bar, with seating split between multiple sections. There is also a courtyard and a backyard seating area. The inside has seen a good deal of maintenance and decoration in recent history and the yard has had a lot of effort invested in the last year, now being open at the rear, with some characterful new seating and a much brighter feel. I think this was only my third visit in the last year. Despite being in Dorking frequently, the only reason I don't regularly use this pub is that I personally find Shepherd Neame beers very uninteresting. SN seem to have a policy of not having guest beers; an offering from a local brewery or an interesting regional beer from further afield, would make the King's a much more attractive prospect! Add to that that my pint of Whitstable Bay on my last visit was in very poor condition, I'm not in a rush to return. If a company with a passion for good beer ever took over this pub, it could be an absolute gem! Happy drinking!

I absolutely adore the Kings Arms, it is the best pub / restaurant in dorking- The staff here are very welcoming and friendly, especially when you get to know them they will remember your usual but always ask incase you want something different. The food is fantastic i recommended the hot wings which come in different serving sizes. It’s also the oldest pub in dorking and the old wooden beams make for great old timey atmosphere. Great pub.

A very disappointing family meal out overall. The food was ok, general pub food. But no roast on a Sunday, just standard gastro menu of burgers and fish & chips. But my word, the service. Utterly shocking, rude, non-existent. We had a booking for a group of 13, booked in advance, but there was clearly a lack of staffing to handle us and a few other tables. We had NO table service, had to get our own menus off other tables & ask for additional cutlery. We asked about roasts and the South African waiter/bar man/ I don’t even know was so rude in his response of ‘its summer, no roasts in the summer’ - who knew!? This was shouted at us as he walked off… For such a large group booking and a large bill to help pay their wages for the day, the service completely ruined the experience. It is a luxury these days to eat out, there’s a cost of living crisis, I suggest the staff, namely the guy, need to improve on their customer service skills to ensure they have a job & keep the hospitality industry afloat… we will not be returning.

Pretty good if you fancy just a drink but the food was disappointing. The beef burger was awful, if you get it then ask without the pickle inside. It ruins the taste of the burger extremely potent vinegar flavour and mutes the taste of everything. Burger was over cooked and dry which was a shame as it was thick. The chicken burger was soggy and overcooked. Chewy and plain. The kids sausage and mash was probably the best, peas where undercooked and mash tasted like smash but lumpy. Didn’t have either the tuna or sticky toffee in which was the only thing that was wanted by myself. Ended up with the waffle for pudding, the waffle was ever so slightly warm, very stale and had a sourness to it. Got given vanilla ice cream instead of honeycomb, only reason I ordered it was for that. Was suppose to have a caramelised banana to which was just a fresh sliced banana. Unfortunately I never got told when ordering about buying the kids main and dessert that it was £9 instead ordering separately I was charged more & never got given a receipt first time around. Overall a pretty terrible place to eat. I’d recommend going elsewhere, only good thing is the beer on tap. Would recommend for a drink but that’s about it.

Slightly tricky to score this one because after a fair few visits, generally I rate it quite highly. Good draught selection, friendly staff and atmosphere, dog friendly. Most of the food has been very nice however I’ve also had a couple of below par meals too. For example the beef roast recently, large portion however was just a bit below average quality wise, especially the meat which was overcooked and bland. Perhaps a bad joint but at £19 I would expect quality over quantity really. Personally I would go elsewhere for a roast but for the main menu, I would generally recommend. Overall a nice pub though.

I was wandering around Dorking early afternoon looking for a pub. To my surprise all the pubs were either closed or looked lifeless or uninviting. But as soon as I turned a corner and spotted the Kings Arms I could see it was a proper pub. And so it proved. An attractive, traditional pub, with a arm welcome from friendly staff, and a good selection of beers. Thoroughly recommended.

Mega-vibe pub! Blending the archetypal, cosy public house aesthetic of wonky beams and stained glazing, with a modern menu and alllllll the choice of beers. Whether you're fancy or just norm-core, The Kings Arms has you covered, which makes for a really interesting and cool mix of patrons. Special shout out to the level of customer service too, super friendly and polite - couldn't be more accommodating if i'm honest. The team there come across passionate about the establishment too which is always a thumbs up as you feel like you're in their front room rather than paying customers. I came from east Kent this Sunday to hike in the area and I wish there was a unique pub like this where I live, I'd be there every week. Keen to come back!
