The Kings Arms in Selby

A great lunch out with my husband, he had the steak and ale pie and I had the chicken and ham, lovely pastry, excellent service and friendly staff, the nicest place we have been in a long time for food

Lovely food, lovely friendly people. Steak pie was delicious and chips amazing you may have to have a little wait if busy but the food is hot and worth waiting for. We will call again definitely.

I called in here after traffic dodging on the way home for a quick drink. Good selection of drinks and they do food too. I wouldn't normally leave a review for a quick visit but got talking to the landlord and his wife and they were great. Very keen to show me the place and told me about nights they do etc. Locals seemed like a good bunch too. The friendly welcome definitely makes me want to go back with my wife and make a weekend of it. Decent beer garden so maybe a trip for summer.

Transformed - home cooked excellence. Original recipes. Excellent light crispy pastry. Imaginative desserts.

Have paid several visits to the King's Arms - usually for a supper and to enjoy a thriving Pub Quiz which is delivered by Landlord Ben with great humour. The food is really very good - the homemade Pies are excellent as are the Mounfield Sausages made locally in Bubwith by Award winning Butchers A. Mounfield & Sons. When so many Pubs are closing, it's great to see a Pub become the centre of the Community thanks to very hard work by Ben and Emma.

This was a slightly disappointing experience, we have eaten here a couple of times and would like to support the new Landlords who always give a warm welcome.. Unfortunately today the service was very slow, the food was hot, all 'plated up', roast pork ( a little dry), one small yorkshire pudding each, plenty of veg and a couple of roast potatoes, the apple sauce was sadly straight out of a tin or jar. I would have preferred the vegetables on the side.The chocolate brownie and ice cream for dessert was delicious just gooey enough without being too soild. We eat Sunday lunch out quite regularly and were rather disappointed with our experience today

Called in for lunch to check if suitable for our large greyhound, to sample the food and check if it was accessible for someone with mobility difficulties. Lots of ticks in lots of boxes! Ben was so welcoming and helpful, the food we had was very good (try the sausage and mustard baguette cheeseboard and autumn crumble: all super), the service extremely good and there is lots of room for Fraser hound. The entrance access is good, with sturdy seats and space between tables for manoeuvring for those using sticks. There is a lovely restaurant and an attractive beer garden (pouring down when we were there sadly) and good dog walking nearby, including the village pond. The Kings Arms serves Sunday lunches and we will definitely trying those too. We're really pleased to have discovered Ben and Emma's cosy and welcoming venue and intend returning this week, with Fraser the greyhound. The Kings Arms is going to be added to our list of local hostelries, and we recommend that you give it a try too.

We don't live in the village but happily travel so we can be a part of the family Ben @ Emma are creating, recommend to all wether it's for drinks of food work or social it's a real up and coming pub also try the dead mans finger rum we're hooked on itLovely to sit inside and soak up the fun atmosphere or chill out in the lovely sunny beer garden over looking the village green and lake Carry on the good work guys you're doing a super duper job

Joined friends here for a first time meal this evening. Warm welcome from owner Emma and all four of our meals were of good quality and well presented.

Called for a meal at the newly reopened ‘New Kings Arms’ in N. Duffield, Selby for a meal last week which was very pleasant. So good to see it back up and running with good food and pleasant owners/staff.

Very glad to say that the new landlords have hit all the right notes - in the right order!!! the official launch day was very well supported by a very enthusiastic Village. The Beer Garden is well equipped to entertain youngsters whilst the Picnic Tables provide sitting for watchful Parents,Already there is a regular Quiz Night which is very well attended by a great mix of age groups in "perfect harmony". To come is food, but sensibly things are being done step-by-step. well done.

In an era when Village Pubs are closing at an alarming rate, an Inn which is trying to reverse the trend is worthy of support. At the time of our visit, a one-course Sunday Lunch was all that was available - but no matter as the portion was very generous and the Mashed Potato and Cauliflower Cheese, among a good selection of vegetables, were excellent. Service was a little chaotic at times - but with a packed Restaurant on a lazy Sunday - who cares!!! Will definitely be visited again and hope they extend the Hours/Days of food service.

We normally stop at Holme on Spalding Moor for lunch, but was unavailable so pressed on to N Duffield.

Visited hoping to order food, but ultimately didn't want to eat there seeing the sloppy standards at the bar.

The service was spot on. the food was great. I had the Rib eye steak which was done to perfection and oh so tasty. You get a real plate full. the puddings are so lip smacking.

We went Saturday afternoon for a meal, and it was fantastic. The food was absolutely delicious. Traditional home cooked pub grub. Service was excellent too.

Visited for Sunday Carvery to find the pub has new management and no longer has a Sunday Carvery. Unfortunately the meal was very disappointing. The beef was very chewy, as was the lamb. The vegetables were virtually raw, apart from the roasted parsnips which were lovely. I think more staff would help as the waiting time was quite considerable through no fault of the lovely waitress who was trying her best to serve everybody virtually on her own. It might be worth considering returning to a Sunday Carvery as we have been previously on several occasions and found it one of the best in the area

We've been a couple of times now and it hasn't disappointed. The selection is always vast and of high quality. Certainly enough to choose from. Staff also very friendly. Well recommended.

Lovely food and very generous portions. Called both weekend and mid-week and weren't disappointed. Chef was more than happy to discuss the menu and offer suggestions and recommendations. Nice selection of beers also.

Los brazos de reyes en el norte es un duffield soplo de aire fresco. El equipo de personal está más que bienvenida a otro nivel en términos de servicio y calidad. Después de visitar esta noche con amigos, familia y niños no puedo recomendar la calidad del servicio sin ningún problema mejor. Realmente impresionada, buen trabajo armas reyes

Probamos la cena del domingo hoy para llevar y fue horrible. Folleto describe como todos ingredientes locales con los budines Yorkshire. Muy engañoso, ya que es ciertamente lejos de caseros, fue congelado y, probablemente, la peor comida congelada que he tenido. Seguro para decir que nunca será tener otra. Toda la familia estaba muy decepcionado.

Great Sunday carvery with huge selection of veg. We had two courses the cakes were big and very good. Staff very attentive and helpful. Great value for money. The interior was welcoming though a little dated. Popular with locals.

Sus espectáculos sitio Web abierto hasta el jueves 12 a miércoles 11, así que fuimos para el almuerzo. La señal meciéndose en la brisa declarado de la comida, pero llamado el lugar estaba cerrada. Un hombre apareció en el aparcamiento y dijo que abrieron a las 3:00 pm.

Great country pub with real ales and a warm welcoming Real fire that makes this a cosy place on a winters night The food is very tasty and large helpings so it's a great place to spend a lovely eveningThe staff are so freindly and very helpful on there menu choices A must to call in !!!

Booked a table for the Friday night and the food was so good we booked again for the next evening. The steaks are cooked to exactly how you want them and the service was first class. Will go back again when we are next in this area.

Great Sunday Carvery at the Kings Arms - No stinting on the portions, good variety of meat and veg and very friendly/helpful staff as well. Will definitely return!

Fantastic discovery. Lovely little local with a great selection of Gin. Really enjoyed hedricks and fever tree tonic. Will be back for more

Chef Adam took over the kitchens in June and food trade has really taken off. We had another great mid-week meal, and were all delighted with our choices. Excellent toad in the hole, imaginative sliders, great burger and a chicken salad made to order. Home made chips were excellent. We are becoming regulars. Friendly staff and good beers at the bar.

I visited The Kings Arms today with my mum and brother. They had burgers and I ordered the mushroom and spinach pie. I had options to have this with cheddar or Stilton and either a flakey pastry or suet top. There was also choice of chips with peas or mash and veg. It didn't mention gravy on the menu, but was served nicely with a little jug on the side. As I'd ordered a veggie pie, I nearly presumed the gravy would be veggie but was glad I double checked! It was instantly whisked away to be replaced with some veggie gravy, but this was so thick that I had to literally shake the jug for it to pour out! The chips were very tasty but it took about 30 mins for the meals to arrive. There is a good selection on the menu and the feedback from the burger-eaters was that the meat was very condensed so they were quite chewy. The home-made coleslaw didn't seem to be home-made and the onion rings were very flimsy. Other reviews seem very complimentary but I'm not sure we'd go there again if I'm honest. Presentation was good but I'm afraid the taste didn't quite live up to the appearance.

Excellent meal, the best steak pie I have had. Great service, amazing pub food and very affordable. For genuine home cooked pub food close to Selby and York with a good menu. I would definitely recommend.

We called in one lunch time, I had friends over and wanted somewhere to eat we chose the Kings arms as they do two meals for £10 this sounded good value . The service was good drinks bought to the table and order taken by a lovely lady. When the food was served the presentation was lovely the food hot and plentiful. There was a good selection of food and a selection of sweets too ( although we didn't / couldn't eat a second course. Both the lady who took our and the chef can't to the table to ask if our meal was alright, a nice touch. The pub looked clean and there's a nice garden if you want to sit out with a lovely view of the village green / pond complete with ducks. We will defiantly be going back and would recommend a visit.

We have just had a wonderful carvery lunch, tender juicy meat and perfectly cooked veg at a very reasonable price My Dad (the King of puddings) highly praised his treacle sponge & custard so it must have been good. The pub was easy to find and the staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. We will definitely go again.

What a gem this place is! Sunday lunch was a carver and divine! 12 veg, 4 mains to choose from and Yorkshire puss, stuffing, sauces etc!They also do a 2 for a Tenner mid week. A great price for a family treat!Going to try the Friday all-you-can-eat -curry on a Friday!The wine is too expensive so go for the halves of lager!

Thankyou for a beautiful meal,the braised steak was to die for,best ive ever had....family were visiting and commented how nice the food,staff & atmosphere was...full marks

Decided to try this pub after it being recommended by family members.On arrival we weren't sure what to expect. It's a small village pub, looking a little run down but the atmosphere and food were great. Lots of locals in there mid-week and everyone was extremely friendly. You can choose to sit in the bar area or in the dining room for your meal. The menu had plenty of choice and when it came it was all homemade and absolutely delicious. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Highly recommended and I will definitely be visiting again.

My mum came up for the weekend and we decided to go out for Sunday lunch as I live in the Village we decided to try the cavery at the local pub the food was lovely my mum even said it was one of the nicest carverys she has had in a long time. The service was also very good would defiantly go back

Ate here for an evening meal whilst staying locally. The food was very tasty, albeit it took a full half-hour to come. Reasonably priced, at £28 for two mains and two alcoholic drinks.The place itself is a bit shabby & in need of some sprucing up, but the menu had a good range to choose from and there were plenty of tables to sit at.

I went for Sunday lunch with husband & 4 friends. We had the carvery, although the main menu was available. Excellent service and choice. Nothing was too much trouble, particularly when catering for my Gluten Free diet.I would highly recomment it, although booking is highly recommended.

Family get together for Sunday lunch, 5 Steak pie meals all served with lots of fresh veg. Service was excellent, waitress most obliging, our drinks appeared in record time. Appreciated chefs home made pie which we will most certainly be having again some time very soon.

Visited this lovely establishment for a family meal and was treated like old friends.The menu had an excellent selection and as I have coeliac disease they cater 90% gluten free.All the food was cooked fresh to order.The staff were extremely friendly and nothing was a trouble.We shall definitely be going there again.

Visited this pub/restaurant after the usual hunt on Tripadvisor for somewhere local but different to visit. Service was slow & we had a 40 minute wait for our meal AFTER ordering, although to be fair we were told it would be delayed. The restaurant wasn't busy so not sure why. The two meals ordered were chicken & ham pie with suet topping & marinaded chicken kebabs. The suet seemed to be about 3 inches thick & although nice & crusty on the outside was almost uncooked & doughy underneath. The "marinaded chicken kebabs" appeared to be just pieces of chicken rolled in chilli flakes/other herbs & then cooked, the resultant dish being very rubbery & so fiery it almost burned the mouth. The kebabs were sent back & the comment apparently from the chef was "would you like some water?". A bit unexpected if a bit farcical. The chicken kebabs were replaced with "unmarinaded" kebabs which were just about edible but still very rubbery. The restaurant needs either a new poultry supplier or a new chef, not sure which one.

I love it here!The portions are huge.. They do smaller portions, which I think are big! The food is well cooked and menu well thought out.Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!

Have been visiting this place for a number of years following our daughters move to the village.The food is very good quality home cooked, I have personally just about eaten my way around the menu now. Can honestly say every meal has been first class. The suet topped steak pudding is a particular favourite.Unbelievable prices given the quality.Always a good selection of beers Timothy Taylor's, Copper Dragon, John Smiths amongst them.The hosts and staff are always welcoming and friendly.Located overlooking the village Green and pond the Orangery dining room is the preferred place to dine, although it's OK in the bar.Can't recommend it highly enough.

We came for a mid-week meal and it was lovely! The staff were friendly and welcoming and there was a good atmosphere in the pub. I spoke to the chef about gluten free options and was pleased that I could have a steak pie! I could even have homemade chips and gravy, which is always difficult to find when eating out! My partner had the large yorkshire pudding which he also enjoyed. A great place for a tasty homemade meal, we will be returning!

Came to have lunch as had heard the kings arms catered for gluten free diets. I was not disappointed, I choose the carvery which was delicious and the welcoming staff pointed out what I could eat. I rounded off my meal with the tasty gluten free syrup sponge and custard yummy! Will definitely be returning!

Had dinner at the Kings Arms last night. Carvery plus dessert for 8.95. Food was delicious, had gluten free syrup sponge and custard for dessert, nice to get the choice. Staff Were very friendly and not at all pushy about paying before eating which was a nice change. Would definitely go again if in the area !

Staying in the area for a few days we decided to find a pub serving Sunday lunch and popped into this one on the off chance. A carvery was being served and as there was a number of locals eating we decided to give it a try. The staff were extremely friendly and the food looked good. There was beef, gammon and turkey on the carvery menu, together with a choice of three fresh vegetables plus mashed and roast potatoes and excellent Yorkshire puddings. My husband and I had a slice of all three meats which were cooked to perfection. The cost for one course is £8.95 and £11.95 if you have room for a pudding! Be warned, the portions are huge. Good food, service and price. Apparently during the week they offer themed nights which seems very reasonably priced. We would definitely eat at this pub again when next in the area.

Called into the kings arms northduffield on Tuesday night and found it was curry night;Mix starter for two and main course currys for £14.95Starter and mains were fantastic (olivia waitress excellent)Have already booked for Monday night 2 steaks and a bottle of wine for £19.95Hope its as good

Eaten twice here,good pub grub,cheapish,good range of food choices,lovely beers including real ale,does get busy with families with excitable kids as it has a conservatory leading into a garden area.Nice location...Food average but partner likes it so its a place to eat...I sampled the Ribeye steak,requested medium and it barely was,maybe med to well..didnt taste great but i did eat it all,partner had a mixed grill which was large!!...

Called on spec. Had passed by a few times. We had the opportunity to try the food. We will be Back. Traditional style pub, a Great choice of food. The Burgers we had were some of the best EVER . HIGHLY RECOMMEND ;-)

We visited on a Saturday evening and found that the restaurant part was quite busy for early evening. We were shown quickly to our reserved table, having purchased drinks at the bar. The waitress was very polite and explained the specials board in the bar. We ordered and were informed that there would be a 30 minute wait to cook the food fresh (reasonable). The food was plentiful and my wife's steak cooked to her liking. My suggestion would be if you want to enjoy our mains , skip the large starter (thank goodness we shared). A pleasant pub in a lovely village

This pub is fab serves delicious food at all times of day had a carvery which was lovely and you got plenty of it and the dessert was fab staff very friendly

Im coeliac and its one of the best menus I've seen in a pub for Gluten free food, puddings too! Nothing is to much for the staff, chef very knowledgeable.. My husband who is not GF is in love with the amazing steak pies and they do a GF version too...staff are very friendly , cannot recommend enough

Frequented this pub last yr whilst on holiday nearby and did so again this yr. You really cannot fault this place. Great food piping hot!! Try the pork belly in Apple n cider sauce...........very tasty. Great pint too, the Stowford Press cider on tap. ...... very nice. Very friendly staff thank you Kings Arms see u soon xx

Just a load a fantastic meal in the Kings Arms , service great, my steak was cooked spot on and the beer was good . The staff were very friendly and they came out to check that the food was good !! Not like some places .

Stumbled across this little local country pub and from the outside looked welcoming with its conservatory and large garden area. However on entering it just didn't live up to it. It felt very much like a "locals pub" and looked quite shabby in the main pub area, a little bit like a working mens club. The staff were fine, pleasant enough but seemed more interested in the locals. The food itself was average and maybe belonged on a 2 meals for £10 kind of menu as it all certainly didn't taste homemade. On the plus points there was a good kids menu and gluten free options also which you don't see very often. I'm afraid I can't see us visiting again.

My wife and I ate here this evening after reading the great reviews that was wrote about this place. We booked a table but we really didn't need to do as we was the only people eating. My wife ordered the nut roast which came inside a bought Yorkshire pudding not a homemade one that she was expecting served with a few veg and chips. I ordered the cheese and bacon burger which was very nice served in a very nice bun but frozen potato wedges let it down and at £8.50 was a little over priced. The place seemed to lack a little something. The young lady that took out order was very nice and confirmed what the meals came with. Over all a little disappointed And I don't think we will return

This is my local pub, but whenever I choose to eat out, this is my first choice. I have entertained friends and business contacts here, every time has been great. There is a good choice on the menu, but the specials board has to be read. The belly pork stuffed with black pudding, with whole grain mustard mash, with a creamy cider gravy is superb. I have eaten it several times. Good home cooking at good prices, and real friendly service.

It's good to find a pub which has such a wide selection of vegetarian options on the menu. Not only that, it was well presented and excellently cooked. We will be visiting again!

Popped in this place when visiting the area with family. It was doing food on a Sunday evening which was proving hard to find at time. The service was good and the food delicious (and properly home cooked). Nice, cosy little place with low prices. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent all round my husband had the steak pie he loved it, my gluten free home made pie was awesome, branch out and sell your gluten free home made food so people can freeze and have it at home, is amazing best iv eaten in a long time

This place is so obliging I'm a vegetarian my husband a meat eater and we both loved our meals they also have a gluten free menu too which is great. The bar area is comfy and welcoming the garden area is safe for children to be in I can not fault it xxx

This pub is fab. My wife suffers from celiac disease (gluten free). They have a section on the menu to choose from. Even have deserts. My wife was impressed. My wife had a gluten free steak pie she stated it was very tasty. I had the famous kings arm steak pie. It's cooked from fresh with a suet crust top. It's was brilliant. The new extension is a credit to the pub. Newly done and and we went in and it's was full. They also offer specials during the week. Tuesday is steak night! 2 8oz rumps and bottle of wine for £20!! Can't go wrong!! Will be going to this place again. It really is great money for value!!

Having a drive out one sunday , me my wife and 2 children stumbled across the kings arms .What a lovely pub in a great setting , We decided to stop and have a bite to eat .We were greeted by a friendly member of staff which was a great start it made us feel very welcomeWe had the carvery which was very , very tasty and great value for money The menu is varied with lots of choice , proper pub grub Will certainly be calling again and would recomend to all P Butler

My partner and I have eaten at the Kings Arms a number of times since Christmas 2012 around the time of the completion of the dining conservatory, often bringing visiting friends and family. From a Christmas eve meal, to Sunday carvery, to weekday lunches, fish and chips special Monday nights and general evening meals The Kings Arms has never disappointed. Prices are very reasonable, service always friendly and the menu varied. The pub always has interesting specials which are just as good as the regular menu, which we are slowly working our way through. The rump steak meal is exceptional value and the carvery on a Sunday is far better than much more expensive venues we've tried. There is also a good choice of beers on draught, so it's handy for us the pub is within walking, or stumbling distance home. Family friendly with a good beer garden and welcoming atmosphere this pub has everything.

This is pub food at its best. We have called in on a few occasions over tha last couple of months for Sunday lunch and have not been disappointed. The restaurant is seperate from the pub so you have a choce were you would like to eat your meal. The price of the food is very reasonable. in fact there are specials on most nights of the week. The atmosphere in the pub is always friendly and informal and the landlord goes out of his way to make sure things are running according to plan. The staff at the Kings arms look after the older people by putting on special meals at around four pounds an head. This is a reall communtiy pub and the staff go out of their way to provide agood service

I've lived a couple of miles from the fantastic pub for thirteen years now and had never been inside the door. Well a few days ago friends of my hubby and myself invited us for a meal there.The pub itself is in a lovely country village in North Yorkshire, with good parking, gardens and play area for the kids. The pub itself is well kept and of the old fashioned kind. Warm and friendly atmosphere with the owners making everyone feel welcome.Mark, owner/chef offers a very good range of food, with special meal deals on different days. We went on a tuesday which offers two steak meals with free bottle of wine for twenty pounds! Our friends and my hubby had this while I, being vegetarian had the rissotto. All meals were cooked to our particular tastes and beautifully presented, Lovely!!! That's all I can say about it really, just lovely!Worth a visit to this lovely country village pub.
