Lovely pub in a picturesque rural area, with a wonderful log fire & a glorious garden (for the less wet months!) The food was outstanding; all 3 of us agreed that the French Onion Soup special was the best we’ve had outside of Montmartre in Paris; my sea bass was delicious & the liver & onions a rare treat for my offal loving husband. Service was exemplary & a challenging menu produced three wonderful meals. Don’t hesitate to recommend,

Booked this for a birthday family lunch had driven past many times and thought what a cute pub with a beautiful church opposite. It’s way more than that the service is impeccable the food is exquisite! 5* does not do this place and everyone working there justice everyone was amazing I’ve never known such friendly customer service in such beautiful quaint setting! Absolute gem! We will now be regulars! They catered for everything and everyone and accommodated last minute time change on a very busy day. Staff were rushed off their feet but not once were they ever not attentive the manger in there and is clearly running a fantastic team by being a shining example never known anything like it! Thank you for such a lovely day KA Boxley ❤️❤️❤️

I cannot praise the Kings Arms more highly. We had a memorial for my mum and all the staff were excellent. From helping with the parking to customising the menu, the experience couldn’t be have been improved. The manager was everywhere (on his day off) and he dealt with the whole event with sensitivity, kindness and efficiency. A wonderful pub and restaurant.

This pub/restaurant was on a recommended list in the Air BnB we were staying in in Maidstone. We went for lunch one day and so enjoyed the excellent cooking we booked to go again and once more experienced first class cooking. The serving staff were also really good and friendly. If we’re in the area again in the future, we’d make point of returning.

So very disappointed in our evening meals here. The extravagant menu did not live upto expectations. Food had either been poorly cooked/ruined or simply reheated. For the price paid it was very poor. Different starters, mains and puddings were ordered on our table. The only meal that was well cooked was the fish and chip plate. The pub/restaurant would do well to think of going back to a simple and basic menu - such as fish and chip or curry nights.

The sea bass was served minus potato but with extra veg at my friends request, she also thoroughly enjoyed it. For dessert I had the cheesecake and my friend had sorbet, tasted amazing. I wouldn’t hesitate to visit again for lunch. Through to the back there is a huge garden for people to enjoy alfresco dining.

We visited this week with a friend. The positives the excellent service from waitresses. Slightly chilly as door open. However, we did have the choice of sitting in the garden. However, we did have to wait an hour for our meal. This did not matter too much as we were just glad to be out in the present circumstances. My fish was cooked nicely and came with mashed potato and a little shallot. I had not noticed there were no other vegetables served with this dish. This was very disappointing and I thought strange. The very long wait spoilt the night slightly as we were all very hungry.

Had been looking forward to today meeting up with family and sharing a meal. The reception and staff were accommodating they did ask a few too many times if we wanted drinks. Our biggest disappointment was the food it wasn’t good in all our opinions. Shame as when reading the menu we were looking forward to the tastes the food was bland no flavour and wasn’t cooked very well. Had to send food back to be cooked properly and the rest was of poor standard. We feel a lot of microwaving was going on. Maybe it wasn’t but there was no flavour of cooking in the food. All in all a big disappointment.

I had high hopes considering most recent reviews. Unfortunately, overall, our visit failed to live up to them. After a decent welcome, interactions with staff were also an average experience. We ordered three different starters. Onion soup was very nice, chicken skewers also very nice, and a lovely smoked salmon and crab tartare. Drinks were good including a rather lovely ale, Sea Fury. However the occasion was let down by the mains: A bland aubergine and coconut curry, a very average burger and cardboard fries, and disappointingly average chicken fajitas. Overall seasoning of the mains seems to be an issue. Maybe just an off night. COVID wise all was well apart from a nagging doubt about controls around the toilets. Perhaps they do exist and I just missed them. It’ll be a while before I return.

With so many good reviews and eat out scheme in full force we were excited to try the Arms for lunch, normally to costly for us. We were seated in the not so nice part near the toilets and kitchen, (to be avoided). After ordering it must of been a good 30 minute wait for food and when bought out one of the meals was not what was ordered so that person had to sit and weight whist we eat. The fish and chips had home made chunky chips so when i saw my burger and chips i was not happy. It was just a poorly presented burger in a roll with tomato and a small mound of the thinnest frozen chips i have ever seen.( Be warned) make certain you ask for homemade chunky chips. The owner of the fish said it tasted funny and left most of it, but the chips were good.. The other 2 members of our party had the Vegan curry and unfortunately it did not meet expectations possibly as vegan cooking is not the chefs skill . and left most of theres. We were shocked by the quality, the presentation and value of these meals and expected a lot more. Such a shame we were all really looking forward to our visit, and glad to have only paid half price..

Found the staff welcoming . Hands sprayed with sanitizer as we walked in. Show to a table inside as requested. I ordered the sirloin steak £20+ my wife and daughter ordered a pasta dish. It was about 40 mins before order arrived. The presentation was poor. The steak was plopped top of the chips. The chef would be forgiven if it was a decent steak but it was gristley. Not at all what I expected for the price. My wife and daughter had a pasta dish which they said was tastless and they'd not finish. We didn't stay for a pudding or coffee as we had plagued by a wasps throughout. Staff found it amusing. Apparently the fish and chips are excellent.

Being a walk leader I've visited many pubs for Sunday lunch. We only stopped for a beer each but stayed for lunch. Now Harvey's beer is the best in southeast England and this pub really knows how to keep it. I've never had a bad pint. So we stayed for food and as my girlfriend said that was ' a superb lunch possibly the best ever'. Now as us guys know ladies are never wrong so if you are reading this pop down for lunch. Staff are cool too. Thank you for a lovely experience, you exceeded our expectations.

We had not planned our day , so we phoned to see if there was availability in the Garden , lucky for us there was , it was our first experience of eating out as a family during covid ,,And we were all very impressed not only with the excellent service that we take for granted but the diligent safety measures that have been put in place !!!I think the staff have gone over and above !!Lovely lunch in a lovely large walled garden fantastic fun waiting staff Thank you for a great safe experience

I enjoyed a lovely lunch in the lovely garden of this charming pub.My friend and I booked a table for lunch and were pleased to see the care taken with social distancing and hygiene at the pub on our arrival. We ordered the sea bass as we had seen it on somebody else’s plate. It didn’t disappoint and tasted as good as it looked.The dessert was just as good and we left very content.

Ive not been here for many years, used to take my parents. Went recently with my 15 year old grandson, he thoroughly enjoyed the food, the ambience inside and out. Returned today alone for lunch which was absolutly delicious. Beautiful place, beautiful setting and staff. Not once did I feel conscious I was dining alone, if that makes sense. Would recommend 100%

Reception was hard to find in dark as not well lite or sign posted. Reception not very well manned stood around for a while as short staffed. Food good though. The rooms were nice enough & clean (But not what I would class as a master suite) Ok for a night tho

Reading through the reviews, it seems the standards of food and service here go up and down with the weather.... I obviously came here on an up day... It was pretty good.
