The King's Arms in Dacorum

Fell well short of expectations.sat at table for a drink. Dirty table with glass marks from previous customers. Moved tables. Staff sitting on adjacent table,. Such unprofessional behaviour all round from them. Food arrived with no cutlery. Had to wait. Then Had to ask for something that was actually detailed on the menu to accompany the meal. Says it all when the promotionsl chalk board says ‘epresso martini’ rather than espresso.. Run by kids

Very good and nice staff ! but the sofa needs to be repaired or replaced !!

Food was outstanding and so was the service, would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to come here. Our server Sam was excellent, we had a wonderful evening. - I.F

Their breakfast is not to be missed!!!

Fantastic pub & overnight stay. Staff were awesome & gave us free bubbly for my wifes birthday. Food was lovely & a great choice for dinner & breakfast (the full English was huge) The room was also super comfy & spacious Will definitely be staying again 😀

I pop in for a beer every Monday night. Staff always pleasant. Beer always good and so reasonable. 2.19 a pint for tring brewery Moongazing. Cannot go wrong

Very poor experience at this pub last week with our assistance dog. We booked a table for 3 for a business meeting and phoned the pub in advance that we were bringing an assistance dog. They placed us on a table that had a very busy walkway next to it, not major problem until the dog got stepped on by a guest who was being shown to his seat by the manager, no major issue we moved to a quieter table. Later in the meal a jack Russel dog who was off lead inside the pub/restaurant area kept coming over to annoy my assistance dog, we politely asked our waiter to ask find the owner (who was not present with the dog) and ask him to collect his dog and keep it on a lead, she said "I will try" This did not work and the dog kept pestering us leaving us to have an awful experience. Turns out this man and his dog are in this pub often and he never has it on lead and it seams the staff are scared of him, they didn't even ask the doorman to ask him to lead his dog or leave. The pub has a policy that dogs are welcome but must be on lead, the manager was not aware of this policy until i told her. They did give us a partial refund and an apology but i feel for a pub/restaurant of this quality from this chain they should be doing better. The man waited outside the pub for us late at night (9pm-10pm) and when we left he gave myself and my 2 young female guests verbal abuse and was very threatening not good enough all round.

Our room was clean and comfortable although cold when we arrived as no heating on. The staff were all friendly and welcoming, and breakfast service and food choice was excellent. The hallways and stairs to the rooms could do with some updating and as our room looked over the alleyway it was a bit noisy at night - but it is above a pub so we kind if expected that! And the manager did apologise in the morning. Good central location on a lovely High Street.

I booked a room yesterday last miniute since I got stuck in the city and no uber driver was available at that time and it come to my surprise that this hotel took the money out of my bank account yet when I arrived to the location there was no one there. I tried knocking on the door ask around but it was pouring outside so pretty much no one was around. Because of this I had to wait for hours în the rain thinking that maybe someone will come, I try messaging them no one except an AI responded from booking.com, I try calling them on the number provided no one responded. Maybe you are a very good pub however hotel wise is just shameful that you let your guests waiting in the rain and after not even a response from you guys. Just as a fallow up after almost two months: The owner and whoever is the manager just ghosted me not responding to any of my messages emails or phone calls. IT IS A EMBERASSMENT OF A PLACE!!!!! I DO NOT RECOMEND IT AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY MY MONEY!!!! Those guys bring shame to the Kings Arms and they should just not be allowed to operate.

Good parking Welcoming, traditional pub. Lovely room, spacious, comfortable bed, good quality shower. Nice touch with sloe gin left as a night cap. Good quality breakfast. Excellent value for money. Great location to catch the train to Twickenham for a rugby international

Lunched here a couple of times. Food delicious and staff really attentive. Varied menu and good wine list. Looking forward to to next visit.

Went here for the first time on Sunday for a few cocktails and some dinner in the bar not knowing what to expect but I was very pleasantly surprised. The lebanese fries and cauliflower bites were my favourite out of the food I had and the porchetta roast was great although for the price the portion size could have been a bit bigger. My espresso martini and cosmopolitan were also very well done so would like to thank Harry and Raffy (the bartenders on shift), no complaints there at all as they were both very sweet and happy to have a chat! Overall a very good experience, would definitely come back again! Thank you to the team and manager who were all lovely.

As always the Staff were fantastic , helpful and attentive, the food is really good never been disappointed

Christmas Lunch 25/12/2024 VERY DISAPPOINTING-DONT BOOK CHRISTMAS LUNCH HERE I have written a letter of complaint as a result of my extremely disappointing visit to The King's Arms on Christmas Day. 3 weeks later I still haven't had the courtesy of a reply. My party of six had booked a table for the second sitting at 3:00 p.m. We arrived at 2:45 p.m. and were seated promptly. However, from the outset, several aspects of the visit were far below expectations. I was seated at the end of the table, next to my elderly mother. Unfortunately, her view was of the baby-changing facilities, and my own view was of a counter stacked high with empty pizza boxes—certainly not what one would expect for a festive occasion. The meal on Christmas Day was a set three-course lunch. My starter, smoked salmon with bread and a rocket salad, arrived as expected. However, the salmon was improperly filleted, and I unfortunately choked on a large bone, which I had to remove from my throat and spit back onto my plate. This was not only unpleasant but also a serious health concern. After this, we waited an astonishing 90 minutes for our main course. I asked on a couple of occasions about the delay and was told the restaurant was operating a queuing system due to the holiday. While I understand the challenges of serving a large number of guests, this extended wait time was frustrating and far from acceptable. I should also point out other tables seemed to be served far more promptly despite sitting down after us, which undermined the above explanation. When the main course finally arrived, I was served lobster, which came with five small new potatoes and a few leaves of rocket salad. The lobster was cold, mushy, and lacked any texture. It was clear that it had been previously frozen, which I could have overlooked, but the quality of the dish was poor—tasteless and unappetizing. It seemed as though the lobster had been reused from earlier sittings. My mother, who had ordered the turkey, was also disappointed as her meal arrived without the usual stuffing, while the other guests at our table received stuffing with their turkey dinners. Under normal circumstances, I would have requested a different table and addressed my concerns directly with the manager, and I certainly would have refused to pay the service charge. However, given the nature of Christmas Day, I felt uncomfortable doing so at the time. My personal experience was extremely disappointing and not reflective of the quality I expected from this establishment.

Early evening visit. Bar felt unloved, cushions needed plumping, crisp packets clearing and crumbs cleared from seating. Restaurant had unruly children left to their own devices by 'parents'. If I had booked to eat there I would have left immediately. Felt like a children's playground. No thank you.

A nice pub/restaurant that has kept some of the original features, a large and welcoming fireplace, a long bar counter full of shiny brass and a real bell to call for the last order before closing . The food is decent, and if you like pizzas, a real pizzaiolo will perfom in front of you the elaboration of your pizza in an authentic pizza oven. Worth a visit..

Our festivities over Christmas always end up by getting together with two very good friends. We enjoy New Year's Eve with a splendid meal at either their house or ours, and go out for breakfast on New Year's Day. For many years it’s been a bit of a tradition to visit The Kings Arms for their excellent Eggs Benedict. Regrettably, this year was not a good experience. Booked in at 10.30 a.m., tea and coffee arrived fairly swiftly, but then we waited an hour before we said we’ll pay for the beverages and go elsewhere. The delightful waitress was most apologetic but it still took another ten minutes before the food arrived. All the young waitresses were doing a wonderful job in the circumstances, but the chefs hollered at each other in the open kitchen, accompanied by crashing and banging of plates and pots and pans. Not the sort of racket you need with a sore head after an evening heavy on the wine. It was no busier than on previous years, but the cooking seemed to be highly disorganised. We would like to have been told on entry that it would be a lengthy delay before we were served. Totally unacceptable. (But the Eggs Benedict were delicious.)

Excellent food, well kept beer. Helpful cheery service. What a pub should be! There was a Christmas menu to order in advance, which we did not have

Lovely food and great service. So many ingredients and great flavours make every visit thoroughly enjoyable. Keep up the great work

Service very slow, most of food was okay but arrived lukewarm. What's the point of complaining- clearly could see there were problems

We took my wife's mum there for her 88th birthday. The staff were fantastic. The lamb shank was excellent. When the deserts came out her desert came out the large plate had " Happy Birthday" in chocolate on it. What a fantastic thoughtful idea She was so surprised. Will be back soon. Thank you for making her evening super.

This has been one of my favourite places to stay in a long time. The location and the rooms are great but the staff are incredible, I've never felt so welcomed and looked after, they were all really lovely and it we were sorry to leave. You won't regret staying here, we'll definitely be back!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! I stayed in room 14 which has a refrigeration unit strapped to the outside wall!!!!! which kicked in throughout the night, I tried drowning out the hum with whale sounds at 3am, didn’t work!! The lad on the reception didn’t offer an apology but did offer a discount, but as I wasn’t paying, I explained I wouldn’t benefit as it was a work trip, nothing else was offered. I was left exhausted for a tough days work. Not what anyone should expect from a hotel situated in such an affluent town.

Friendly and professional staff. There to help with whatever you need. The food was great. Taken home some of their delicious pizza for another dinner 😀. The room was quirky and comfortable. Good nights sleep. Can't wait to go back.

Great ambience, very friendly and efficient staff, welcome environment, seating available indoor and outdoor. Tasty and innovative breakfast options. Worth the visit. Smile from staff and manager just made our day even better.

Pros: Our waitress, whose name we unfortunately didn’t catch, was an absolute delight. She was attentive, friendly, and overall excellent in managing our needs and orders. Even my one-year-old was quite taken with her. The food was served quickly, and the quality was consistently high. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the space was generously laid out. Cons: It was a bit on the dark side, and the lighting could definitely be improved. The portion sizes were somewhat smaller than expected.

Family lunch. Wonderful food that catered for every dietary need. Lovely staff that made the occasion special. Definitely recommend and look forward to visiting again soon.

The Kings arms is a great place to visit, wonderful old architecture, good drinks, good service and great food. We had nice drinks in the bar and then ate in the restaurant. The food was good (great menu) and price point was fair for what we received. The Kings arms is 100% worth a visit for drinks or food.

Teresa and James looked after our table of 8 so well, they were both so friendly and attentive. Being used to Brighton/London I never would have thought that Berko would have been a good place for bottomless brunch but genuinely the best one we've been to. The food was great, v speedy service and we never had a moment without a drink. Thank you so much!

Went here for bottomless brunch, Teresa and James were both incredible for service! Topped us up faster than we could drink it. Definitely get your moneys worth ❤️ will 100% be back

Came for a bottomless brunch James and Teresa were great both food and drink came out really fast and they were super helpful and polite

We took our grandson for breakfast. It was perfect, nicely presented, well cooked and delicious. Pleasant staff. We will certainly return

We waited an age for a simple bread starter to arrive. ( I think the chap in the grill had forgotten). Then another age for the mains. Gave up on ordering dessert. Maybe it was just a hot day or it s a Monday but the service was poor and I resent a service charge added to the bill when it is so poor. You would think in the current financial climate that the staff would try harder.

I attended The Kings Arms with the family for Sunday lunch. The food was absolutely amazing. I am Gluten Free, but there was a huge range of options for me. I went for the Roast Beef, and hands down it was one of the best roasts ever. My sister also prefers to eat Vegetarian, but again, they had a huge selection which looked great. The atmosphere was lovely, and the service was excellent. Highly recommend.

Enjoyed a lovely pre-wedding meal at the Kings Arms. The staff and food were great! Come closing time my vehicle wouldn't start, and they even stayed late to help me get on the road again. Above and beyond the call of duty 🎉

In the small town of Berkhamsted, the welcome is perfect. The rooms are very functional and the food is excellent.

Went for lunch after a long time here, for the price they scored low; dirty beer glasses, still a fruit fly problem near the bar, panino sandwich was very good, shame they can’t serve clean glasses and then charge service on a drinks only tab when no table service is provided, and then you’re asked if you weren’t happy with the service when asking for a refund as didn’t expect service charge on drinks only order…paying service for pulling a pint!

A nice pint of real ale, sat in the courtyard. A number of chairs were broken. Could do better.

We had amazing Margarita cooktel and nice meal .

Remarkably expensive, dark, dingy place. Food is very good, but sadly service is often poor.

I think this is best pub in Berkhamsted. The bar / restaurant split means you can come for any occasion and drinks are fairly priced. Alcohol free beer on tap is always a plus. Food is also great. The Sunday roast is spectacular (those yorkshire pudding are huge!) and never disappoints. This is always my go to for food or drinks

The food is amazing after eating in Michelin star restaurants I would choose those restaurant everytime consistently amazing food

The Kings Arms is a great spot to go for lunch. The menu has a very wide range and it's reasonably priced the food always comes out nice and hot. The staff behind the bar are very welcoming and warm. The nice thing about this Pub is you know you're always going to get the same level of service

3 for brunch. One tea pot turned up without lid. Surely they have other tea pots? Nice tea though. Gluten free bread completely inedible . Was left completely and no one asked why. Vegetarian breakfast more expensive than full English. Seriously what’s that all about? And don’t blame it on the teaspoon size dollop of avo! And tastes like it’s been cooked next to or even on top of the meat. Marco Pierre couldn’t even make a mushrooms taste like that without cooking it with the meat! Underwear and outline of buttocks show when staff member adding logs to fire. Not needed at brunch time. Cleared away one glass from table after we had finished. Staff member just walked away and vanished leaving payment machine on bar for last person to pay. Had to ask another member of staff for receipt. Lack of attention to detail? Or just lack of attention….

Love our local pub, The Kings Arms. Great food, vegan wine options, dog and baby friendly and the fire is gorgeous in the winter.

Pleasant atmosphere, good food selection. Decent service.

We were the DJs last night at the Kings Arms for Claire's 50th brithday and had a fantasic time! The staff were all wonderful and the function room is just the perfect size. If you are having a party and are looking for a good venue, you have found it! Brilliant location with awesome people! We definitely recommend!!!

I wanted to make sure the kitchen team working along side jojo get the review needed! We was looked after so well with our wedding night/day! The food was amazing, the portions are great and the stay was lovely. We have already been back to show our support and will continue to do so! Thank you for being amazing everyone at kings arms 🙌🙌🙌

We came to the Kings Arms as we thought it would be warm and toasty with the log fire and everything. The fire was on, but it didn’t feel like there was much other heating on. I sat on the bench and touched the radiator behind which was on but very low. Even with the fire on in front of us it was too cold to stay too long so we headed next door to the Crown.

The venue was really good and we anticipated a good time but sadly this was not to be. The starters for two were good but for two of us no so the tomato bruschetta turned out to be mostly raw halves of cherry tomatoes on toast and a portion of olives were mainly black olives (only 4 green) and the black olives were musty and really left a bad after taste. The main course were as follows Pizza, which was nice but not special, gammon egg and chips which was salty gammon, overcooked egg and chips and cottage pie with aged beef containing little meat. This was mentioned to the waiter but shrugged off. The bills. with two gin and tonics (one a double) a tonic and a bottle of house wine came to just under £200 which was wildly overpriced. When I asked for a bottle of house red, normally a cheap option I was told that they do not have a house red but had a Malbec which I accepted. Had I known it was £37.50 I would have refused. My suggestion is avoid this restaurant or have your wits about you. Not exactly a relaxing experience.

A great spot for a pre-concert dinner. Excellent menu, very good food and efficient, friendly service. It is a big former coaching inn, and could be a bit noisy for a romantic meal for two.

The Staff are what makes this place special - there are some who have been around for a while, whilst also some new faces. Everyone is extremely polite, and genuinely cares about you having a good time. It’s worth mentioning that they are AMAZING with allergies - I have more than one allergy, and they always look after me very well, which is rare. Most places just say “best if you avoid this and have a plain chicken breast etc” - not once had this comment. They go back and forth, check food over and over and make sure that they can prepare the best (and safe) food for me. A massive thank you to all the staff, your efforts are very much appreciated. I have been coming to the Kings Arms with my family (and Goldie 🐕) since 2013, and will continue for the foreseeable future.

Lovely venue, relaxed, informal vibe, service to match, excellent waiting team, friendly, hospitable and knowledgeable. Throughout our time spent here our waiter - Alex was attentive, and on point, could not do enough to make sure we had s great time and felt relaxed and unhurried despite it being a busy afternoon.The food was super delicious,beautifully presented and generous portion sizes. Cocktails were delicious and nothing was too much trouble. Had a great afternoon with friends - great venue & would highly recommend 👌🏼

Thought lets go for a quick pizza and beer on a Saturday afternoon. Ordered at the bar, sat next to the fireplace which so needed cleaning up, the place felt very tired and our table was sticky. Two drinks and a pizza to share, pizza arrived without cutlery then as we started eating discovered it being less than luke warm, cold pretty much. Mrs H took the pizza back minus two slices for it only to be returned 2 minutes later on a clean plate which clearly went back in the oven for 1 minute and was still cold (minus the two slices). The pizza had flavour, but cold second time again, instead of making it from scratch is beyond me. The premium you pay for the Kings Arms for drinks/food certainly was not worth this trip and we won't be rushing back. If I hadn't paid upfront I would of refused to pay for such a sloppy meal.

We went in to the pub for a drink last night, pub was not busy maybe 10 other drinkers in the bar area. Bar area was really dirty tables full of old food plates and every table had something dirty on so couldn’t sit anywhere. 3 bar guys stood behind the bar so they had staff to sort the tables out pub just looks tired and dirty. They might have been having a off day.

We ate as a family of 4 recently and were really impressed by the quality of food. The kid's menu is exceptional value and super fresh. We ate off the specials, and the pizzas are as good as anywhere you can find.

Food was really good. Our waitress was knowledgeable and very attentive. Really enjoyed our visit and will be back soon. Primitivo wine was delicious as was our coffees and desserts.

Had a room in the main pub (rooms 1-3) which was fantastic. Couldn’t fault the room in any way. There was an extremely comfy king size 4 poster bed, TV, tea and coffee facilities, separate large bath and shower, dressing gowns and toiletries. We both had the full English breakfast in the morning and it was great. There was some noise from the pub (Saturday night), but it didn’t deter from our stay. We both enjoyed our stay immensely and wouldn’t hesitate to come back. It felt like a real treat and was luxurious.

I came to the Kings Arms with my son for lunch and was straight away greeted by very friendly front of house staff who got us a table. We ordered starters and mains and the food was perfect with great flavour and plated wonderfully. We were seated near the kitchen and the chefs were fantastic, great team. Overall, superb service and wonderful food, would highly recommend!

Excellent gourmet food at pub prices, Chef specials are out of this world, staff amazing and service faultless. The Atmosphere was great really buzzing. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I booked a table which was ready when I arrived, the service was attentive but unintrusive, the food was delicious and fresh too! Really love this pub!

I visited the restaurant on a Sunday afternoon with my sister and boyfriend. We enjoy the menu that the Oakman Inn’s chains of pub/restaurants offer so we thought we’d visit the Berkhamstead’s branch to see what it was all about. I’m very easy going when dining out at restaurants and I work within the public myself so I always find myself cheerful and friendly with staff, waitresses and waiters and this is how it should be always. Especially during these trying times. However, today might’ve been the worst experience I’ve had with a waitress/waiter. I’m not one to leave a snotty review but I was honestly so stunned today with how I was spoken to, sister and boyfriend both shocked too. I won’t reveal the name of said waitress but I was in disbelief at how one of the waitresses spoke to me today, I’m 22, a young girl and the tone of voice she displayed with me was aggressive and blameful. When it came to presenting us with our meals, she had brought over the incorrect meal for myself and I stated to her the correct meal I had ordered and she insisted that I had said to her it was the dish she presented. When I proceeded to let her know I’m fully aware and able to definitely assure her of the meal I stated I wanted she proceeded to argue back with me that it was my fault and basically accused me of lying about what I had ordered… I felt very belittled and upset with her tone of voice and approach. The fault was on her end for not double checking our order once taking it or reading it back to us like a waitress should do to avoid mishaps like today. Her words “no you ordered the pollo picante that’s what I had written down I heard you say picante” I responded with “no I ordered the pollo bianco pizza” which I pointed to on the menu whilst ordering. I’m unsure why she was so adamant I’d ordered something I quite clearly didn’t want, it makes no sense at all and it was just a silly mistake on her end which she needed to admit to instead of trying to argue with a girl younger than her. Embarrassing. I am still in disbelief at how she spoke to me I came away very upset and shocked. Maybe she was having a bad day but women to women, her tone was very bitchy and aggressive and I couldn’t ever imagine talking to a customer like that at my work. Sometimes you make mistakes and that’s fine, we all do it, but to then aggressively blame the customer is not on at all. Apart from this the food was lovely but I won’t be trying this oakman chain again unfortunately. I hope everyone else visiting has a better experience as I know this place is awesome none the less

I was here for an event in their upstairs room - a totally enjoyable experience. The bar staff are friendly and helpful, the prices are reasonable and the decor is great. The toilet facilities aren’t the largest but at fortunately are clean. It’s a decent option for an event.

Was once a lovely place but in recent years tired and now very worn. Upstairs is lost in 1970s decor, paintings barely hanging in the wall. Tired, Old and won’t return as much nicer pubs in Berko

We had lunch here with kids after a morning at the castle nearby. The food is excellent, with good portions. Service was swift and friendly. The interiors and decor were lovely, especially at this time of year, and stylish (in keeping with other Oakman Inns...

I have been here twice and have booked again for September 2021. Lovely room really lovely and fantastic breakie...staff very very friendly. If you want corporate samely samely this place is not for you, if you want the charm of Old England just come here.

Taken here after a tedious day or sorting out a friend’s phone. The service, food and attention to detail was amazing. Our waiter Gabi was on point with great suggestions and super service. The place is very Covid friendly and definitely worth a visit.

Where do I start....terrible service in everyway. We turned up on Sunday to find our table was in the rain! I was confused when they lead us to our table. Did they honestly think we would sit down and have dinner in the rain? I...

Shocking and terribly slow service! To be honest the food was good but Will not be rushing to return

Spur of the moment lunch with friends was very enjoyable. Polite and friendly staff providing good service. Food was very nice particularly the Sunday roasts. Loved the pork belly. Definitely be back for a return visit. Good Covid protocols as well.

Not great at all. Drinks are nice but over priced. Service very slow and food is tasteless. ordered the mezze sharer and very bland as not seasoned. That salt, pepper and oil and vinegar did nothing to improve taste at all so we barely finished....

I had roast beef sunday roast. Poor. Very disappointing. Was the meat carved from a joint in the restaurant?

Visited for Sunday lunch with friends as they’re local and thought it worth trying out together.Lovely open fire in lobby bar where the atmosphere looked relaxed and warm.We moved down through to the restaurant where it looked rather quiet ... soon things changed! It got very very busy ... and very hot ... and noisy.They have quite an extensive menu including pizzas cooked in their own pizza oven (we tried their garlic flatbread to start as a nibble and it was thin, crispy and very good).Our friends’ mains (swordfish and pollo piccante) were good but our veggie dishes - portobello mushroom and no pollo pie: too much potato topping and then accompanied weirdly by more roast potatoes!!?? and my beetroot falafel burger: rather greasy/burned falafels and very dry over-charred bun, plus weird combo of sauces, was quite unappetizing and indigestible.Would recommend keeping menu simpler but doing everything well rather then trying to be all things to all people and doing some things badly.Maybe we were unlucky with our menu choices ... but it was Sunday lunch on a cold winters day and we didn’t want .... another salad!

This place is perfect for a cosy lunch and afternoon settled by the fire. We booked for our group of 8 and were pleased we weren’t constrained to a set Christmas menu. There’s stacks of choice for food including vegan options and all of our meals were tasty, and generous! Service was good and the whole pub is so cosy, will definitely be back.

We has an engagement party in the Green Room. The staff were great. Ryan, Callum and Roz were fantastic. Friendly and good at their job, Food was nice and everyone enjoyed the evening. Well done to the team.

Love coming here!! Being gluten free can make eating out very daunting and stressful, but The Kings Arms takes real care when taking your order, and are all very allergen aware. The food here is great - so many GF alternatives across the entire menu, making it feel like you actually have a choice for once. Possibly the best Gluten Free Burger (and chips!) I’ve ever had - you won’t be disappointed. Thanks KA, I’ll definitely be back!

Large pub/restaurant Staff ok friendly and helpful Food, average at best on a par with school dinner Fine if you have big noisy family, but not for select diners

Following an aborted breakfast trip to the Old Mill, we headed to the Kings Arms instead. I can’t fault it at all.Whereas the Old Mill greeted with a disgusting smell of the toilets, the Kings Arms had the delightful scent of the open fire and cooked bacon. The waitress was really friendly and took my request for 2 pots of tea in good stead (so I didn’t need to return to the bar to re-order) and as for the food itself....Delicious, meaty sausages, well-cooked and tasty bacon. A crispy hash brown, home made baked beans, a hearty portabello mushroom and two poached eggs (ever so slightly overcooked but everything else was so perfect).Will absolutely be returning very soon!

Good food with good service. Nice atmosphere and busy..... always a sign of a good pub! AND mulled wine served on a cold winters day. Yummy!

However, loving fire. But sad-sack put it out before the pub closed. May as well not bother.... we want more fire, not less fire Pyromaniacs

We both enjoyed another dinner at the King's Arms. I had the roast duck with heritage carrots from the specials menu and it was superb. The reduction was clearly the work of a very good chef.The K. A. has become one of our favorite eateries in Berkhamsted.

I meet friends here every two to three months or so.

Had a beautiful brunch here, the gammon steak was beautiful and my wife had the halloumi burger which was superb!!!!!!

The Kings Arms has a really warm traditional pub atmosphere and really great food with a contemporary twist on a lot of the dishes. I've been there a number of time and never been disappointed. I can highly recommend the The Kings Arms!

We recently had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Kings Arms, I cannot thank the staff enough, they were superb the whole way through ensuring our day went smoothly. The food was exceptional, plenty of it and very tasty! They were always on hand for any queries and happy to help with anything we wanted for the day even getting the ingredients in for my favourite cocktail which is no longer on their menu! I would recommend to anyone to consider The Kings Arms for their wedding.

Great pub with rooms in Berkhamsted High street. Room was good, breakfast delicious, bar busy. Would stay again

I stopped in with my husband for a Sunday evening meal. He had a woodfired pizza and I ordered a gluten free belly pork.

Went for a beer before rugby game - nice enough pub, full of all the posh people of Berkhamsted! Sold good beer.

Met friends for a casual meal, was about 16 of us, lovely venue inside and outside. We sat inside as it was better for our large group. Good selection of beer and wines. Must had beer/ale/cider and wine.

Popped in to the Kings Arms in Berkhamsted as I was meeting someone for business and we had a coffee.

I went here with my family expecting a classic pub dinner. Instead we were treated with a cosy restaurant feel with all the charm of a local pub. There was a huge selection of food for me (vegetarian) which is amazing. All the food was incredible, with a special mention to the pizzas which are cooked in front of your very eyes. The staff did very well with our weird requests -sorry! I'd come again.

Kings arms it’s a lovely place in Berkhamsted.
