The Kings Arms in Rutland

Sunday lunch was delicious! By far the best around!

Excellent service food a staff were friendly kind and proffesional

“A royal disaster at the Kings Arms! Took the family out for what we hoped would be a hearty meal and instead got… well, a small sample size of a dinner! The much-anticipated muntjac main came out and looked more like an appetizer, served with all the grandeur of a bite-sized snack. When we politely asked the waitress if this was actually the main course, she snapped back with a cheery ‘Well, maybe you should eat before you come next time!’ Ah, the charm. Things only got weirder when the owner marched over, raised an eyebrow at us like we were some sort of Yelp/TripAdvisor/Google Review mafia, and kindly informed us, ‘You’d better not even think about leaving a review.’ Well, here we are, honoring her request… sort of. So, if you’re into dining experiences where you leave hungrier than you arrived and enjoy being mildly threatened, the Kings Arms is your kind of place!”

A truly wonderful pub, a refreshing menu with amazing dishes, food was delicious and the service is top notch!

We were a party of 4, we had 2 rooms. The Bakery, which was a very nice room, large with a tv area and nice sized shower room. The Granary, is an upstairs room. Nice enough size but the bed was very firm, too firm. The restaurant was very comfortable with space between the tables and a very nice menu. Everything is sourced locally, which is a great thing. We had four mains, all very well liked. Nice wine list and some good ales too. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful with a good choice too.

A quick over night stop on a Tuesday night. Good selection of ales and a good menu for all tastes.

Visited for Sunday lunch. Very warm welcome by the staff on arrival. Choice, quality and taste of food was exceptional! Staff were chatty, helpful yet discreet throughout.

This is definitely a traditional English country pub, and one of an unfortunately dying breed. It feels like you've been transported back 20 years and not in a bad way. There is no pretention here and the place is full of quirky details - such as the Farmer's Market board where you can buy all manner of game including an entire side of venison - that adds to its charm and authenticity. The menu is just the right length, with plenty of game and non-game options. Their speciality is game and smoked meats and it is really worth trying. It's not often you can find smoked sweetbreads in panko breadcrumb or venison and kidney pudding, especially done so well. The presentation of the food belies the rustic feel of the pub and it tastes as good as it looks. There is a good range of beer on tap and a decent wine list. The quality of the beer is very good with some nice local beers, which all seem to be well cellared and maintained.

Great food, lots of game and good service in a lovely atmosphere

Very nice pub with nice food and friendly staff. Rooms available.

Excellent find, walked here from a local campsite. Ate from the bar nibbles menu at lunchtime with a nice cold lager. Really original local produce menu with some amazing local smokehouse specials! Staff amazing with a sense of humour. This is highly recomended. Well done guys.

Very nice food, one fish and chips and one fisherman's platter. All well cooked and nicely presented. Although the staff were friendly and helpful, the service was extremely slow - for pur 7pm booking we didn't see any food until 7.55pm. The restaurant area we were in was quite nice but the chairs were hard wood and not at all comfortable, and our table was next to the fireplace which resulted in regular wafts of sooty air.

My wife and I have just returned from a two night stay with dinner and breakfast both days. It was our first stay, and we are asking ourselves ,why have we not stayed there before. The room we had was clean and the bed very comfortable. The towels were lovely and soft, and the room was serviced daily. The food far exceeded our expectations. The choice , quality and taste were exceptional. It is not often that you find an establishment that can offer such innovative, beautifully cooked, dishes. Well done Chef. All of this is complemented by the wonderful staff. Their service, friendly welcoming attitude, and attention to detail is second to none. Thank you all. We cannot wait to return.

Great Food and Friendly Service, we ate here 3 nights whilst we stayed in Salcombe. Nice menu, lovely specials including some wonderful fish dishes, well done Chef and service team. Booking apartment for next year already so see you all in 12 months

Very bespoke menu here…lots of new dishes to try, great friendly service and surroundings. Wonderful food and as a bonus the creepiest painting on the wall. Loved it.

Lovely place to use as a base to explore Rutland water. The food was excellent.

Lovely inside. Great beer. Nice welcome Awfully tired outside, outside areas decrepit ,website rather pretentious, strange to get an employee to power wash the outside seating areas on the most glorious day of the year on a sunday lunchtime whilst he smoked and drank his can of beer but heh ho.

A bit quirky and as can be seen from the previous review possibly not to everyones tastes but we had a great meal , cooked well and so thought should try and address some of the points raised elsewhere. There was a fair amount of game on the menu and a couple of dishes which were somewhat challenging sounding including squirrel. Overall there is plenty of choice and everything was cooked and presented to a high standard. Emptied out quite early on a Friday as a lot of diners seemed to be resident and finished dinner early then went. I would recommend giving it a try and dont be sacred off by the squirrel!

Ive had pre-booked table here and after seeing the review below I was apprehensive. Our outcome and experience was entirely different, it was wonderful experience! The staff were entirely attentive to our every need and so warm and welcoming! The food was of such amazing quality and so tasty with brilliant portion sizes! (Definitely would recommend the BBQ platter and ribeye!) We all can't wait to return and try out the rest of the menu. We absolutely loved how you can see where all the produce comes from locally, which is shown on the board. The homemade fruit gins are a gorgeous addition, so flavoursome! . There's a fantastic selection of local beers and ciders and we will definitely be returning to try more! Can't wait to see the team again and thank you for an amazing evening!

We were visiting the area for pleasure, we phoned to pre book and arrived at 8pm Seated and not given a moment until they wanted to know our drinks order Just a beer and a glass of tap water, the waitress turned her nose up and looked very grumpy. It all felt very rushed and not a relaxing atmosphere at all, just felt they wanted bums on seats Within 2 minutes they wanted to know our order and were quick to tell us what they had sold out of ‘ the steak’ the only ordinary thing available on the menu but at a cost of £35 We decided to not order as everything on the menu was ‘road kill’ and nothing else available The waitress assumed we were ‘vegetarian’ which we though was very rude She did say they had lamb from Launde Butchery, I think trying to impress us….. little did she know we are local farmers and we regularly work with Launde Butchers. Over all not to our taste menu wise. Feedback to the management team….. either change your front of house staff or give them more training on hospitality skills Interestingly enough, we were staying in local accommodation for the evening and the owner did say ‘don’t go to the pub’

Fantastic food and really friendly staff. Great atmosphere and one of the most interesting menus I have seen in a long while

Came for Sunday lunch to celebrate my husbands 60th. Food was good in parts but roasted veg was very under cooked and not edible. Roast potatoes were also not great. Meat was lovely. We were placed on an unsuitable table on top of reception which meant loud intrusive conversations kept happening across us which completely spoilt our meal and we found rude. And were later told even though I had booked months in advance that we weren't given our planned table as people were lingering and hadn't given up our table when they should of. So I felt the organisation wasn't strong in coping with a busy restaurant. And it spoilt our enjoyment on what for us was a special occasion.

It was very good. The food was great and the the service too. Defenitely worth a visit. We have been there for Sunday roast. And we will do it again. Thank you very much. 🇬🇧&🇩🇪

Amazing food is great good food Shout out to Keira and Debbie

I visited the Kings Arms for lunch with friends. The food is beautifully presented and all locally sourced, seasonal produce . The service is excellent

Had lunch with my wife and was very impressed with the quality of food. Tasty and good value. Nice location. Will be back for sure and have already recommended to friends.

Absolutely fabulous. Our original accommodation fell through and I booked online 20 minutes before we turned up. The lovely lady was printing out our information and taking us to our room as soon as we got there. Not missing a beat. The room was made up as if they were expecting us and clean as a whistle. Lovely towels and a big comfy bed. We slept well, had a lovely dinner and morning breakfast. Would recommend to anyone.

Lovely ale, lovely atmosphere, staff very friendly. Willbe going for a meal as the food looked really nice

The beer and food were nice, although the food is quite expensive. Would recommend checking out the menu before visiting. There were plenty of available tables for dining when we visited. The pub soon filled up with locals out for an evening drink.

Amazing dinner and breakfast. During a stay with my dog Murphy. Very recommended

Having stayed at the Kings Arms at Wing for over 10 years sometimes weekly, it is still excellent. The first time I stayed, the welcome, food and drink was more than expected for the location. Not only are you made to very welcome, it is...

Very friendly and welcoming staff and owners. Excellent homemade food, one of the best meals we have ever had and very reasonably priced. We will definitely be returning for a second visit.

The food was indeed excellent, no other word for it. The staff were warm and welcoming and the building is charming. Most certainly worth a visit!

Read all the reviews (99% very good) and decided to give it a go for my birthday lunch. Beautiful area and country pub and a warm welcome on arrival. I was walking wounded and they were happy to let me find the most comfortable seat...

We returned to the Kings Arms after another walk in the area. We had another excellent lunch with excellent service and value. We ate off the lunch for less menu and were pleased with our choices.

Under recommendation, we stopped for lunch at the kings arms in Wing, while visiting the Rutland water area. We arrived just after 1:30 under the impression we could catch a late lunch, just to be told that we could only have sandwiches, by a very dismissive server. I requested the soup, which was not offered on the sandwiches menu, to be told that this could not be done. Obviously it’s too much effort to heat up some soup. Eventually when the sandwiches came, they were nice and you definitely get what you pay for. Accompanied with beef dripping fries which were also very nice. However, we felt as if we were a burden on the staff, and not made to feel welcome; which ruins the nice feel of a small country pub.

Nice inside, lovely, friendly staff, very overpriced, glass of wine £10, olives and bread £20. Good food, but overpriced for what you got.

What a perfect place to stay and eat. We stayed overnight with friends and greatly enjoyed pre dinner drinks in front of a roaring fire, an excellent meal of local produce and a nightcap back in front of the fire. Our breakfast was of equal quality.

Although we live nearby and use the King's Arms on a regular basis, we have never before written a review. However, we often take our aged parents-in-law to Sunday luncheon and have been routinely so very impressed that we feel this positive feedback is more than deserved. First, the King's Arms staff could not be more courteous and helpful - for example, by being more than happy so 'split' a meal between my wife's parents (they are both in their 90s), and being so un-fazed in the process. But, crucially, the food is comfortably the best within at least 10 miles of our home (and we have pretty much tried them all, I think). In short, I would commend the King's Arms unreservedly to any visitor - you will get great food prepared by an award-winning chef (and team) coupled with delightful, caring, service.

Went last Saturday disappointed couldn’t have lunch they were unable to accommodate

Went here for lunch today and was amazed by the quality and service of this little pub in Rutland.

Love the atmosphere here. Not too commercialised or tarted up. Felt like the local hunt might meet here - and the next morning we discovered that they do.

Food: 5* menu and plenty of choices Service: Excellent Kids: child friendly with high chairs Dogs: dog friendly say no more! 5* star menu with reasonable prices! Just excellent.

I came with my parents for a lunch time meal. The staff were great extremely friendly and we were made to feel extremely welcome. The food was all home cooked and the smoked produce we took away with us was amazing.

We were staying at Wing Hall Campsite next door so booked a table at the Kings Arms for the night we arrived. We received a warm welcome and were seated quickly. We were able to order for the children while we had drinks, so they were fed first. The childrens meals were delicious and the risotto of the day was delicious. The main courses were served quickly and together. The rose veal chop was amazing, I have never had such a lovely piece of veal and the sauce and vegetables were tasty and fresh. Sadly we didn’t have time for pudding as the kids needed to go to bed but we will be back!

We stayed at the King's Arms for three nights and ate two breakfasts and two dinners there. As a by the by, our first mini-break in Rutland was something of a revelation - lots to do and a lovely setting. But back to the King's Arms; our accommodation was of a good standard - significantly above "pub B&B;" level. We were a couple in a triple room and the room was a little crowded with furniture, but we managed. Our meals were superb - especially if you're interested in countryside eating/local sourcing/sustainability and so on. Bear in mind that "room only" means exactly that and you need to book breakfast and meals in advance - especially at weekends. As people suggest below, space in the pub is constrained, so it really is more of a restaurant than a drinking establishment. We tried the eels, local boar, fish and so on. Even the breakfast sauce is made on site. They have a commendable approach to food sourcing and that shows through. There are plenty of veggie choices, but I think you have to recognise that this is a pub that has made its name on meat, game and fish - so don't go there if you have a problem with the pub team shooting their own game. So why not five stars then? Well - not every food item worked (but that's to be expected) and there's just a touch of "thou shalt not" about the many chalk and written signs dotted over the place. As people who are likely to commit the offences warned against don't read chalk signs, they seemed a bit counter-productive to us.

We booked dinner at this pub based on a review which stated that it was THE place locally to eat game and the sample menu available online which also listed game. The evening we ate at this pub there was no game on the menu, although the smoked ribs and the calves liver were good. We were also very disappointed with the table (for 5 people plus a dog) which we were given which was separate from the rest of the tables and next to the toilets - we appreciate that dogs are not allowed in the restaurant area but the other tables in the bar area were largely occupied by people who were not eating and therefore had presumably not booked over a week in advance.

Very nice food in pleasant dining room. It is popular so you need to book. The prices are reasonable and sevice good.

This was a disappointing Sunday lunch dining experience; service lacking warmth, made to feel rushed and the Sunday roasts lacking culinary imagination.

We have eaten here many times before and whilst the service and staff are not always the most efficient, the food makes up for it. Last night we went for dinner, for a special occasion and it was by far the worst dinning experience, my husband and i have ever had. We had a table booked for 7pm, we arrived at 6.55pm, we were kept waiting in the bar area for 5 mins (due to the staff being too busy), we did not mind waiting 5 mins, we would not have minded waiting 15 mins, we were in no rush, however after saying they did not have our booking, we were sat at are our table. Following which, we waited a few more minutes for menu's (which again was not a problem as we were out for the evening), however, the landlady, i believe, came over to take our order, approx 2 mins after we received the menus, to which we advised, we were not ready, as we had only just sat down with a menu, she said i will come back. Literally 1 min later, she was at the table again, saying are you ready to order, we politely explained again, we needed more than 3 mins to make a decision, only to be told in these exact words 'i will come back in 1 minute, if you are not ready then, i will have to push back taking your order until 8pm'...we were absolutely shocked, by such rudeness. Firstly, i appreciate you have a small kitchen and that you like to take staggered orders, however if you are too busy to accommodate a table, decline a booking, secondly, if you need an order rushed through, do not leave people waiting in the bar area as you are too busy and then waiting for menus, if you want them to order quickly. Any delay on ordering, was your own fault, not ours, we were not late and we did not delay in looking at the menu. Following this, the entire experience, was nothing short of disappointing. The food was, i am disappointed to say average at best and not up to its usual standard. The only positive, was the other 2 waitresses, who were very nice and very attentive. Should Wing chose to respond to this post, then an apology would be appreciated, given the way we were spoken to, which was completely rude, embarrassing and totally unprofessional. I have sympathy for the situation the landlady was in, with being stressed, however it is completely unacceptable to speak to paying customers in such a rude manner.

The King's Arms Inn is apparently a lovely place.

My partner and I had been invited to attend a birthday meal at The Kings Arms with one of our close friends.

Staying at the nearby camp site so decided to come here for a meal the staff were very welcoming we had burger and chips with a side salad the meal was very nice but with there being no more pubs in walking distance the £13.50 my opinion was a bit on the expensive side for what we had

Si l’endroit est isolé, le cadre est extrêmement pittoresque, les chambres confortables et l’accueil convivial. Le menu est riche en spécialités locales, bien au-delà de ce que servent les pubs. Une étape originale et inoubliable !

Love this place.Serving staff are so welcoming and professional.We had another excellent meal.Please eat here you will not be disappointed.Delicious food made to a high standard.They sell their own produce too.My husband had the steak and ale pie, in a short crust pastry with a rich and generous filling.We shared the starter of deep fried black pudding absolutely gorgeous.I had the tempura prawns light and tasty.Shaded seating areas.They are also very dog friendly, providing doggy bags for your pooches.Love it here will go back again and again.

As a group staying at a local campsite we went in on Saturday afternoon after a trip to Rutland water. The staff there were very pleasant and a wide choice of gin might be as good as this review gets!

Lovely Sunday lunch. Yorkshire’s to die for and crunch crackling. Very friendly staff who made you feel really welcome and very accommodating. Lovely country pub with great food

We had called in Thurs evening for a drink and really liked this pub, they had a very interesting menu of mainly local produce. So we booked a table for 8 pm Fri.

We had not booked but found this gem. The staff and customers were friendly. We had a leisurely pre-meal drink in comfy chairs. The food was excellent and the service good. There was a wide choice. My wife did not have all the ingredients of her selection but on paying they reduced the bill by £5 voluntarily. It was a very enjoyable dining experience. Would recommend.

Never been to the Kings before , missing a huge treat and will be back again and again. From the front of house welcome to the food delivered to the table everything was excellent .

I like a pub which does not need a TV or loud music to create a nice atmosphere. Staff were friendly, relaxed but efficient. Good selection of real ales, which were well kept. I liked the emphasis on locally sourced ingredients, and their own smoked products such as trout and eel. The bedrooms were tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean, with nice bathroom accessories and complimentary mineral water each night. Reasonable range of wines including a good number which were priced around the £20-22 range.

We stayed at the Kings Arms for a couple of nights in order to attend a party thrown by friends a couple of miles away. The pub was recommended by a friend who lives in Wing. She said it was the best food in the area and she was right. It was innovative, original and very well conceived and presented. Lots of game but choices for anyone really. Veggies may struggle a little but I suspect the accommodating staff would look after them. Everything seemed to have been either produced by the pub or from a very small group of local specialist suppliers. The cooked breakfast was one of the best I have ever had anywhere. The staff were friendly and attentive, making us very welcome. There were a couple of small challenges regarding plumbing in our room but this was insignificant compared to the pleasure we experienced staying at the Kings Arms.

It may be the only pub in the village but at least it's a very good one. I couldn't find fault with it apart from it not being open all day.

Great friendly staff, happily let us sit outside and finish our drinks even though they had officially closed. Lovely lunch following a very hot local walk, they offer a good sandwich menu and will serve these as salads if you prefer (with chips and home made bread and butter). Salad portions were massive.

Super super food as always but let down badly by the poor and slow service.

We were staying at the campsite nearby and popped in for dinner. The service was excellent, as was the food. It's a bit on the pricey side but it is outstanding. Would go there again.

We stayed overnight at the Kings Arms, Wing on 2-3 June 2018. Kelly and her team did a great job looking after us and the rooms were excellent. Will definitely go back next time I visit the area.

We visited for lunch for my husbands birthday, we were not disappointed! We are local to the area and walk our dog past the pub regularly only popping in for a break and a drink but wanted to try the food as the menu looked good. We only had main courses as we are watching our weights. The steak and ribs combo my husband ordered was huge and he said except that his steak was a little over cooked it was great! I had the pheasant Kiev with mash and mushroom sauce, yum! It was lovely and filled me up to satisfaction!

We had a table booked for 18.30 tonight for 4 adults and 5 children.

Good points .Pleasant pub with good service Issues .Three of us were 1.8 m tall and were unable to fit our legs under the table . Food average and expensive as were the drinks.I had the smallest rump steak I have ever seen.

I can say, without exaggeration, that this was the best pub sunday lunch i've ever had (and i've had a few). Big portions, perfectly cooked meat (i had pork, my wife had lamb), excellent yorkies - and option of ordering extra crackling. Very impressive, we'll def be back soon.

We try and stay at this pub at least once a year, and hope we don't run out of reasons to visit this part of the world because it's always a delightful experience. We both had a fantastic evening meal, chosen from a inventive, mouth watering menu, were served by friendly staff, and then had a short step to a comfortable room (all are good but would particularly recommend The Granary) for a sound night's sleep and a leisurely breakfast. If you're feeling energetic there are two decent walks from the pub (they have leaflets) including an 8k one to Rutland Water across fields, which I think is thoroughly enjoyable, with panoramic views.

This was a planned stop during a day of walking and was pleased to be offered a sandwich as this is what I’d had in mind. The rustic feel and in-house meat menu got hopes high.

Love the effort made to show where all the goods they use are sourced from, loads of local suppliers. Food is delicious served hot and not lukewarm as often is when you eat out as a large group.

A good Sunday bank holiday walk looking forward to a rest, drink and lunch. 4 shandy’s and one sandwich £33 - outrageous!!!

The Kings Arms served us with excellent quality food and service in a very pleasant and enjoyable atmosphere. We called in today after walking around the Hambleton Peninsula. We had picked the Kings Arms from previous Trip-Advisor ratings, we were not disappointed. We received a warm and welcoming greeting, excellent service from the staff, excellent food which was well cooked and served, in a very pleasant pub with great character and atmosphere. There was plenty of choice, and a story-board which showed the provenance of locally sourced ingredients. The beer was also well kept and served. Highly recommended.

Desde entonces nos hemos estado alojando en ala Hall, tenemos Camping caminó por una bebida o dos en los brazos de reyes.

Very pleasant place to stop. Stopped for a quick bite whilst travelling and was made very welcome. Lunch range a little small but ample

This free house bar and restaurant was the choice of my friends to take me for British Sunday lunch and good choice it was! As we stopped even in the car park I could see the home-grown vegetables and herbs and free range chickens as we walked down t the entrance. The wonderful Rutland Jurassic stone in the building was good to see and great medieval beams inside. We had choice of all the classic Sunday roasts and there was more besides all at reasonable price. I chose beef with Yorkshire pudding...classic -with good portions, it was delicious. A well stocked cellar and different beers give further choice. I couldn't go past trifle for desert - yum! To top it all this inn produces its own fare and I was able to buy black pudding to take away...splendid! A memorable meal in a beautiful English village pub!

This lovely olde worlde pub oozes charm and character.The staff are friendly and welcoming.We were lucky enough to book a table for 5 people for the Saturday night the day before and took the 8pm slot offered.Upon arrival we ordered drinks and sat waiting to be shown to our table.The waitress took our orders but we didn't actually sit down to eat until 9pm or so.The restaurant didn't appear to be that busy.No apology was given for the delay so we assumed this was the usual wait time.It's a shame because the food was good (although the waitress mixed up the steak orders, we only realised when the meat had been almost eaten).The children's portion was good.It would have been nice to see more meat free options.Would definitely go back for the good choice of beers and to soak up the ambiance.

We were lucky enough to grab a table last week and weren't disappointed - delicious food and wonderful service down to them lending us 2 mugs as we were camping and I'd forgotten to pack ours. Would highly recommend. Thanks again!

After a holiday where we visited Wetherspoons and cafes (most of which I only have praise for), there was real pleasure in sitting luxuriously in leather armchairs, ordering our food over a drink and then being taken to our table. Perfect. The blackboard listing the local sources for food (and welding!) was very revealing, and entertainment was on hand watching staff deal with customers with difficult requests. And the food... Outstanding: so good to have a quality meal. Loved the wild boar and concentrated jus. My wife found a duck dish at last that really pleased her. Pulled pork and spare ribs superb. Not cheap, but definitely well worth the ride out from Peterborough. What a lovely inn.

Came with high expectations following several recommendations, and was not disappointed. Far from it! The quality of food, preparation and presentation is pretty much as good as it gets for a country inn. Lovely location, pleasant ambiance. Glad to recommend this to other diners. Would imagine that this would be a very agreeable place to stay in the charming-looking courtyard accommodation.

We've eaten here 3 times. The first 2 times were stunning- very impressive food. Our last visit was not as strong, with a few food disappointments (calamari not great) but overall we love the place and would give it another chance. Great terrines to start, ice creams to finish. Good fish, excellent smoked options due to the attached smoke house. Excellent team and excellent wine list.

Booked a two night stay here at the last minute so was not sure what to expect but we were bowled over with the excellent service and friendly attitude of Michelle and the staff at the Kings Arms. Nothing was too much trouble. The rooms are beautifully clean and well appointed and the bed was superb. We had a superb nights sleep only to be woken in the morning by the gentle sound of the village clock in the distance. Our evening meal was beautiful only surpassed by the even better breakfasts comprising all local produce. Even home produced black pudding and brown sauce, not everyone's taste granted but I really liked the recipes. The Kings Arms are very proud of their local suppliers and rightly so, everything was super fresh and tasted great. We couldn't have had a better short break, superb accommodation and the sight of four Ospreys flying together over Rutland Water was the icing on the cake for my birthday. Will definitely be back.

We are regular visitors to Oakham and wing and love it but we won't be going to this pub again,we walked in at 4:45pm and simply asked do you do food? The unwelcoming man behind the bar said "yes but we are booked up fully and turned us away! There was not one single person in the place at all and even though I'm sure he was correct in that later on in the evening the tables may well have been booked up but at that particular time he could have easily taken our buisiness but clearly wasn't going too and for that reason we rate it 1 star! If the "No" had been better delivered it would have helped,never mind we visited a gorgeous place in Manton and had a wonderful meal! Let's hope in the winter months when nobody's around you are a little more hospitable!

The building is 17th century and it is charming. The beer is very good and the service excellent. They sell snacks for dogs behind the bar (our dog enjoyed a pig's ear) and dogs even have their own dinner menu. Highly recommend.

Top line is the food my wife, son and I had was very good (trio of trout, mixed meats & mushrooms for starters, bream & 2x fish & chips for main), but none of us came away really happy. Bar staff were lacklustre, seemed distracted when they took our drinks order and we had to ask twice for the food menus. When we reviewed them we all struggled to make our choices & we are not all fussy eaters, but so much didn't appeal. Order was taken eventually, then we had to ask to go to our table, then wait for the wine we'd ordered. Waiting staff were pleasant but lacked confidence. All of this greatly detracted from overall experience hence just 3 out of 5.

It was the first night of our holiday and driving through looking for a place to eat came across The Kings Arms Inn. It was a Monday night and luckily they could give us a table for 4. The staff were friendly and helpful, the drink nice and chilled but I did find difficulty in choosing off the menu. I really wanted something plain and simple and there did not seem to be anything like that on the menu; in the end settled for the smoked assorted platter.....some of the meats were not to my taste but my companions had the fish pie which they thoroughly enjoyed. We all finished with the ice cream. The building is situated in a lovely part of Rutland

We only drank here and our beverages were lovely and averagely priced.Only criticism was the unfriendly personality behind the bar.

The pub's atmosphere is great, the staff very pleasant, the food excellent... but - although we were told there would be a wait for our food - an hour and a quarter did seem rather excessive!

To celebrate my 50th birthday, my partner, my sister, brother in law and i had a Saturday night meal at the Kings Arms in Wing. It was an excellent night!The staff were friendly and professional. The food was absolutely gorgeous! Good starters and 3 of us ordered fillet steak which were all cooked to perfection.My partner had hoggett and said it was "top notch" The chocolate mousse for dessert was scrumptious (mine was bought out with a candle in it with a chorus of Happy Birthday!)My sister and brother in law were staying at the Kings Arms - they have been twice now and will probably be visiting again as they are so pleased with the experience.It's not the cheapest place in the world but what you receive is well worth the money.Will definitely return and recommend!Thank you to everyone !

We enjoyed a lovely meal in The Kings Arms while staying in Rutland. The food was excellent and service was good. We liked the fact that the restaurant area was very spacious and peaceful despite how busy it was.

We stopped here on the way to Lincoln. It's a little off the beaten track but great if you're going round Rutland Water and want a break. We had a delightful lunch - mine was an excellent Korma - it tasted freshly prepared and home cooked, so different from some curries encountered in pubs. Lovely décor and good service. An additional 'tick' was for the sale of dog treats - I bought a bag of the homemade peanut butter ones and the dog loved them.

An adventurous menu and really great staff. Myself and my friends found the food a little too rich with alot of oils. You can really feel the enthusiasm at this place but I think they need to slow down and really look at each dish. For example the boat, great idea but a tough cut and too much going on. The restaurant is stunning with a great bar. Like I said before the staff are really ace but just for us personally it was a bit too much. It's a hearty place.

Interesting local menu, bit too much game for us, bit more fish would have been good. But well cooked & presented. Good wine list. For desert had a sharing platter of chocolate dishes, ok but not stunning so overpriced at £28 Front of house should chill out a bit, it wasn't very busy & she was stressing out...but pleasant with it !

We enjoyed a lovely meal in pleasant surroundings at the Kings Arms. Friendly staff and good service. A nice touch was a map illustrating the source of all the locally produced foods. Delicious bread was served whilst we awaited our main courses. The whole meal was most enjoyable. Good ambiance. Recommended.

A warm welcome and helpful staff together with locally sourced good wholesome food made this a pleasure to enjoy Sunday lunch Traditional beef or lamb with roast potatoes and a seasonal selection of vegetables was served in the dining room. Although a bar / lounge area is also available and good seating outside on a warm day - a favourite for local cyclistsA good selection of cask ales, and also winesTogether with home made ice creams rounded off the meal

Chance stop as we drove by, we were impressed by the menu choice for lunch, including a load of specials. We both had lake brown trout served with a lemon butter sauce on green beans. We also had chips rather than new potatoes and they were divine! The trout wasn't a large portion but for lunch it was adequate. Nice decor inside, the place was getting. Busy without being crowded at 12.30. Good value and enjoyable.

After travelling five hours - most of it stuck on the M25 - and with no table reservation, I turned up weary at the Kings Arms during a busy evening. The local fishermen were having their annual fly-tying competition, judged by their wives, and they were all in the restaurant eating first. Nevertheless, I was welcomed by the barman and sat with my pint studying the menu and specials board for just long enough before Kate Goss - wife of chef James and daughter-in-law of proprietor David - breezed alongside to take my order. Very soon after, she led me to my table and the food arrived - a perfect meal. Friendly folk - including fishermen's wives deliberating their choices - kept me entertained with conversation (and I was even given a personal view of the competition exhibits). What a great, refreshing evening. It's a long way from my home in Sussex, but I intend to go back.
