The Kings Arms in Cotswold

We recently went for a birthday meal. Its a beautiful 19th century pub with cosy cotswold atmosphere. The food was excellent and had a stocked bar. The landlord was chatty and made our visit very pleasurable. We'll definitely be going again .

This place offers everything that a top end cotswolds pub can. And for what you get it's really good value.

A lovely country pub Friendly & attentive staff Delicious food highly recommend the slow cooked bladed beef it was amazing ! This was our first visit to the Kings Arms but will definitely visit again in the future.

Brilliant Sunday Lunch, all of the staff were friendly and very attentive. Reasonable prices and really good menus. Desert was delicious.

Wonderful pub in the charming village of Mickleton. We are visiting with family and had the most delightful dinner at the Kings Arms last night. The food was superb with plenty of choice for both both meat eaters and veggie/vegans. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and the staff were all very attentive and welcoming. We had a lovely chat with the manager Michael after the meal who has such passion for the pub. It was so good that we’ve also booked to have lunch there.

Best Sunday roast in this part of the world. Well worth stopping by.

What a great experience we had and Mick the owner saw we needed support. Te assistant manager was very professional and the team did a great job. This was a great pub. Thanks guys you did a great job!

An excellent lunch - great food served hot and on time for over 40 people. Service with a smile - a genuine smile from friendly and efficient staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Lovely interior with a warm and cosy feel. We were offered a great choice of mains and desserts at a competitive price. All round a very professional and enjoyable lunch that made our day such a memorable occasion. Thanks!

Nice lunch lovely pub great walks in the area

Good pub, small bar area, always seemed to be busy. A mark of a good pub. Great Sunday roast, but it had to be for £20. Large beer garden, and a supplier of Hawkstone larger

Quick friendly service, dog friendly pub

Lovely meal. Great drinks. But pre-ordered as we were a table of 22, and had 2 meals forgotten. However, we were not charged for those.

As visitors from the Deep South (Bournemouth) we fell upon the The Kings Arm and were jolly pleased that we did. We booked a table for our Tuesday night visit and on our early arrival the restaurant was packed. So ensconced at the bar we enjoyed drinks while conversing with the staff and locals. All as friendly as can be. We dined and thoroughly enjoyed our meals and wine. Our only wish as we left was that The Kings Arms was not in Bournemouth! Special thanks to the wonderfully efficient and friendly, Tim, Scarlet and Simone, thank-you, thank-you and once more thank-you. Peter and Janet

We stayed in an AirBnB nearby for 6 nights and before we arrived we were glad that there was a “lovely looking pub” nearby. Fast forward a week and we realised we’d spent 3 evenings and an afternoon in there. The staff, food, service and landlord all deserve 5 stars but the garden & outdoor bar also deserves a mention. It’s a wonderful maze of covered huts, comfy furniture and hidden corners. What a gem of a place! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We visited on a Friday evening with our 18 month old golden retriever. Incredibly dog friendly - all staff (and customers) made us and our dog feel welcome. Every member of staff we encountered was wonderful. The food was incredible and we found food and drink really good value for money. Really attentive and efficient service.

Food, beer and atmosphere absolutely brilliant. The staff was amazing and very welcoming. They loved our dog. What more do you want

This is an excellent place to visit on a lovely warm sunny day. The views from Edge Hill or very impressive the food was very good and the service excellent very courteous staff who were very helpful all in all a very pleasant experience and I will be repeating it at some point in the future.

Outstanding pub, food, atmosphere, service, everything was spot on! Any chance we can find we will come again

This was our second visit for dinner as we had an enjoyable experience back in May 2024. Booking an evening dinner at short notice for a night in September, just 4 months later should have been a certainty for another successful visit and we were happy to be fitted in. However, I ordered roasted cod and it was disgusting being overloaded with salt to the point that it was completely inedible. I took two mouthfuls and left the rest which is a rarity for me as my tolerance for less than great food is very high and I usually clear my plate. When asked by the poor waitress if everything was to our satisfaction I had to complain which I never normally do. My partner's dinner was satisfactory but nothing special. We remarked that we could have prepared something better ourselves with little effort. What left a taste bitter than the salt was the fact that when we left to pay nothing was knocked off the cost. We would need some careful convincing to return again, sad to say.

Haven’t been here in nearly 30 years and it’s even better now than then! A wonderful atmosphere, staff and food! I can’t wait to return.

Yes it really is 5 star. The young servers are very nice and ask all the right questions. The food and atmosphere are the best of some Cotswolds pubs.special about out to Holly our server for her attention and the staff.

Absolutely fantastic meal tonight for our anniversary. Michael and his team really looked after us. Food and wine fantastic. They go above and beyond to look after you. Ballon and hearts on the table a magic touch. Steve and Julia xx

Fantastic meal, staff friendly and efficient. Food was lovely . Made us feel very welcome . Drink and food was expensive but well worth it

Visit with seven friends on a motoring holiday in the Cotswolds for dinner, there was plenty choice with additional specials on the board, those that had starters enjoyed the generous portions but as a result had difficulty eating all their mains. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks, the staff were very friendly and helpful. We all enjoyed it and booked a table for the Friday night. Second visit just as good and we were made to feel welcomed for returning. If in the area would definitely return.

Love this pub, had delicious home made Broccoli soup today, served with toasted sourdough and whipped butter, followed by Baked Brill with a topping on fish of capers and onions, served with broccoli tips and new potatoes. Definitely recommend. All food I've eaten in this pub mostly appears cooked from scratch. I think it's good value. My soup was 6.50, and the fish was £24.00. My brother's roast beef dinner was £18.00 served with veg, and his starter of Mackerel pate, ( which was also very delicious) was £9.00. I like the pub, its a lovely building, great inside with a very beautiful garden and parking space. Staff lovely too. Highly recommend

Good food average prices. Real,old world pub totally in keeping with the Cotswolds

Every year we spend a week in Broadway as out late summer break. This is second year we have been to The Kings Arms. We had a booking for Sunday lunch, our table was ready on arrival. It’s not a criticism but it’s worth getting there early as parking can be an issue due to the popularity. We both had the roast beef carvery and dispensed with starters. The waiter was charming with a dry sense of humour and the food came quite promptly. The portions were ample, the meat was succulent and flavoursome and vegetable accompaniment was cooked to perfection. A lovely plate of food and topped off with a perfect Yorkshire pudding. I had the localised Eton Mess which was a sumptuous delight, My wife had the frangipan tart, pure perfection. In conclusion, this is at the top level of a British pub carvery. Fabulous ambiance and authentic decor for surrounding. Thank you to the staff and management. Next time could you have a pear cider?? The waiter will understand

We really enjoyed our time at the kings arms, even though the service was a bit messy (one chef was sick I think). We ordered two starters, two Sunday roasts (beef) lamb chops and a burger. The Sunday roasts came after 10 mins. The meat was super tender, overall we really enjoyed the dish, even though we ate on our own as the other mains and starters arrived after 20 mins. The burger was good, and so were the lamb chops, perhaps there was too much sauce in the latter, and the taste of the lamb kind of got lost a bit. And the sauce had a little bit too oil. As starters we got the grilled halloumi, which was ok, and the grilled hispi cabbage that in my opinion was good but again too much oil and I don't think the white sauce and crispy onions were complementing the dish as they should. Not much offer in terms of dessert so we didn't order any. The place is really nice and massive, with lots of space in the garden as well. Good value for money.

Fabulous place for our last night of the holiday. Only booked same evening and they were able to accommodate us. Amazing food and service. Thank you!

Great food, great service, very nice staff. We went for lunch and will definitely be back.

Long wait, but that's because it was full of people. Just needed more staff to help during the rush times. But I can't knock them, helpful and friendly.

Absolutely first class meal and service, couldn't have enjoyed a meal or am evening more, looking forward to our next visit already.

Overnight stay in Mickleton ,sat in the beautiful pub garden at the kings arms,enquired about food and was told they weee very busy but if we ordered at 6 they could accommodate us.which we did and 25 mins later our burger and fish n chips arrived,absolutely superb ,the young chap in beer garden bar was excellent and asvised us to order early to save disappointment .

The Kings Arms is a delightful pub-restaurant nestled in the northern part of the Cotswolds. We chose this spot partly for its convenient and spacious parking, which allowed our dog to rest comfortably in the car. The garden dining area is expansive and lush, but we opted to sit inside and were instantly charmed by the stylish decor. The service was quick, the food was delicious, and we absolutely loved the experience!

Has the best beer garden in the Cotswolds, but keep it a secret.

Brilliant Barbeque out in Beer Garden under Trees lovey aera , food & staff . Very welcoming & good selection of Ales & Spirits . We booked sunday lunch for tommorow . Big shout out to Mike , Holly , Simone & Laurence , This Pub has a Brilliant vibe to it & 10/10 from us . Tracy & Owen Ireland.

This pub is now up there with my all-time favourites. The Cotswolds Best bitter was exceptional—rich and flavourful, with a perfect balance that made every sip a pleasure. I opted for the fish, chunky chips, and mushy peas, which were generous in size, great value, and delicious. The ambience is cosy and inviting, making you feel right at home the moment you walk in. The traditional interior, complete with wooden furnishings and a fireplace, adds to the warm atmosphere. The beer garden is outstanding—nestled within trees, it's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a drink, especially on a sunny day. The outdoor space is truly a gem. This pub truly embodies the quintessential English pub experience—highly recommended for locals and visitors alike!

Great food and service. The Fish in beer batter and Burger were absolutly delicious and a generous portion. Can't wait to return.

Great food and drinks. Beautiful beer garden, amazing layout with plants and features between tables. I called ahead to book a table, and they reserved a beautiful spot in a weeping birch tree and felt private. Defo want to come again when we’re next in the Cotswolds.

Amazing BBQ food, freshly prepared in a lovely setting. We visited twice in a row as the weather was lovely and we wanted to try the small plates and a main meal. We weren't disappointed. The hispi cabbage was amazing!! Also very dog friendly!

We had dinner in the garden. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food. I can highly recommend it. You need to book a table in advance as it's very popular.

Dropped in for dinner without a rez...we're very accommodating and had excellent meal along with top notch service. Cosy well maintained pub!

Beautiful pub and lovely garden. Never been before, but welcomed like a regular. Really nice people. Roast pork Sunday roast was delicious. We'll definitely come back!

Unfortunately for us Brazilians, it is very difficult to find food that suits our taste. Their dishes and cuisine are very different, our heavier and fattier ones are not appetizing for those who have a South American diet. Prices are average, around 17 pounds per person, which is normal here in England. Its strong point is the outdoor area, which is very pleasant, well maintained and has space for children to have fun. Another strong point is the parking next to the restaurant.

Cute pub with a lovely big garden for a Sunday session 😊 Good menu with various roasts and other options and fair pricing.

Over cooked dry food not impressed..... probably down to junkie chefs they drag out the gutter

Picked this pub as we were local at Hidcote Gardens, Location and building are outstanding with a lovely décor inside for our perusal and delight. I must say the food was absolutely gorgeous, however the service let us down. After receiving our meals we were asked for sauces, condiments etc, the sauces we asked for never came! Had to ask another member of staff to assist. The same happened AGAIN after the meal we eaten, "do you want to see the desert menu?" and of course we replied yes.....it never came, had to fetch that myself . I do appreciate that folks have off days but really, waiting staff need to focus and do better....we do expect more. Apart from that I still would recommend this place, so don't let our "isolated" experience put you off, the food to good to miss...

Just stopped off for a quick bite to eat. The service was fabulous, greeted by a smiling member of staff and then served by another who was both polite and friendly. The food arrived quickly and the quality was superb! Well done 👍

Booked a table for 7pm, arrived and staff quickly had us sat down and took drinks orders. Food was very good, good portions and tasty. Would visit again if in the area.

Came across this place on our travels, had a good burger and fries, will definitely call again when in this area.

Great food, atmosphere and service.

The waitress was friendly, but the smoked salmon tagliatelle was terrible. The sauce was very liquid and the dish was overwhelmingly salty, making it impossible to taste anything else. I ended up not eating the salmon at all. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience.

Really tasty fish & chips. Good service. Highly recommended.

This is a lovely country pub serving excellent food. The garden area is also lovely. The staff are friendly and attentive, without being overbearing. Highly recommended.

Garden is amazing and great atmosphere

Nice place, good breakfast, very friendly staff, nice big garden

A great village pub . Food was excellent on 3 visits. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

You will never find a kinder, more generous host!!! I only wish we could have stayed for a meal and a pint! As four weary travelers, we found ourselves in this quaint town while enroute to Stratford upon Avon. We had disembarked from a bus and were awaiting another bus one hour away. In desperate need of relief we stumbled upon the Kings Arms. Although not yet open for business, Michael opened the ancient doors of the pub just for us. We will be forever thankful. And this experience will remain a wonderful reminder of true British hospitality. ♥️

Food and staff was very good but when more people turn up atmosphere changes because they are ti load.

Lovely steak dinner with the trimmings ,dessert was good too ,dog friendly pub ,lovely staff and nice atmosphere.Locals were friendly made us welcome.

Found the food overrated, not sure if it was just a bad meal but had the fish n chips and the fish tasted so bland and very oily tasting batter. Kids tomato pasta was very watery and congealed at the bottom with a few tomatoes:/ not really a tomato sauce I thought. Soft drinks were also very pricey

Dropped into The Kings Arms from a walk from the outstanding Chipping Campden. Had a couple of drinks from the garden bar...great service and atmosphere...a couple of lite bites...spicy corn on the cob - BBQ chicken wings & Chorizo...beautiful...just enough for our walk back. After such a great first visit we went back for a evening meal....in the bar nice a cosy and chilled...met Archie the fox red Labrador...nice and chilled...friendly staff then we were treated to a phenomenal meal...we both had steak...mushrooms...vine tomatoes....chips and peppercorn sauce...amazing every bite...can't recommend this place enough...nice beer...amazing food...very friendly in an awesome village setting of Mickleton.

Great atmosphere, lovely food, friendly staff, recommended

Enjoyed the Sunday roast, staff very welcoming and I enjoyed the live music after in the beer garden

Excellent experience .... we returned the second night, too.

3rd time at The Kings Arms and it was great as always Sunday roast was beautiful and the gravy was to die for. Looking forward to our next visit already

The waiter was brilliant, great food and location

Staff very friendly and welcoming. Meals generous.

My partner and I visited the Kings Arm on a trip to the cotswolds and had a great time and meal! 🤩. Highly recommend if you're in the area, their burger was delicious and one of the best I've had in a long time!

Really helpful staff and great food. Lovely setting.

Nice oldie worldie pub excellent food and drink good service and atmosphere friendly staff only downside the food came on cold plates I like mine on hot plates but I suppose it's a personal thing. I would highly recommend this pub

Always a lovely experience at the Kings Arms, well worth the trip if you're not local!

Spent a few days in Mickleton. Went for a few wines the 1st night away. The barman was amazing very professional. Went a couple of nights later for a meal. Had the chicken absolutely superb the meal was cooked beautifully and bursting with flavour. An outstanding experience all round

Great lunch for 9. Food was perfect. Inside a traditional pub. Have had many happy meals here over the last 2 years. Great for family meals.

Super friendly service and a good selection of beers and drinks. The veggie roast (on Sunday) was excellent and a great sized portion.

Great garden area for kids can imagine it would be amazing in the summer, with multiple seating areas inside and out, out door bar, large outside facility for kids and seems generally all round good, still need to try the food here bit it definitely looks like a winner 🏆

Lovely food and service. Popped in after a trip to All Things Wild and decided to stay for lunch. The food was amazing my five year old said my burger was the best he'd tasted, this was after he'd had his fish and chips which were also great. Great service from the staff as well, can't wait to visit again.

My wife and I were staying in Mickleton and booked dinner at the Kings Arms on Monday 5th Feb. We received a warm welcome and were shown to our table where a drinks order was taken. I was delighted to have a choice of two excellent draft beers. Food choice was also excellent however I was dissapointed that the last fillet steak had just been sold... We selected Spiced King Prawn on Sourdough and the Chowder for starters and Belly Pork and Lamb Shoulder for mains. The Kings Arms has a wonderful atmosphere and we received very good service. An overall excellent evening.

A great visit to this quaint country pub. A warm welcome and great service throughout our visit. There are good beers on offer - North Cotswolds and Butty Back from the Wye Valley. I enjoyed the rhubarb and ginger gin ! The evening meal was delicious. I had prawns in garlic on sourdough for my starter and belly pork with sticky rice and pak choi for my main! A great place to visit!

Owner couldn’t do more to facilitate a last min Sunday roast for 6 of us. Lovely setting and an amazing roast, many thanks!

Really lovely food, friendly efficient staff, highly recommend!

10 of us for a late Sunday lunch today. Pre ordered food cos a big group. Requested out the back in the barn. Great atmosphere great food and staff were fantastic dealing with an excitable group!! Late in the day but beef was pink and freshly cooked.starters and main courses were great value and beautifully presented. Will be back soon.

Fabulous recommend wholeheartedly

Delicious food and great service from the staff. Great to visit in Winter when the fire is on and it’s all cosy.

Good atmosphere, nice menu, all options good ones. Queried the bill for some drinks we didn't have and some missing. All changed no quibbles. Would definitely go again.

Wonderful Sunday roast sat by a cozy fire on a wet winters day . Perfect way to spend a Sunday. The roast beef was cooked perfectly and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming with lots of happy people enjoying themselves. Will definitely be returning soon . Would highly recommend if you enjoy a good roast dinner in a beautiful country pub .

A really proper pub with excellent food

Brilliant pub Brilliant food Brilliant staff A must visit

We had a wonderful Sunday Lunch. Great food great ambience and great staff!!!!

Fantastic local pub, great food and service.

It is a very friendly and welcoming place, I often visit when I am near.

Nice restaurant with nice food , wasn't the warmest place I've eaten in . Would definitely go again Both of us had Sundays roast , chicken and pork. Both nicely cooked

Nice country pub with excellent food and drink. Fish and chips was amazing

We dined here Friday evening, and have done many times in the Summer (the outside is so beautiful & such friendly lovely staff on the bar outside !) The food was amazing, my partner had the fish and chips and I went for the mussels - both were delicious! All of the Staff were super friendly and helpful, we will definitely be back :)

I’m dismayed that after being offered the last table in the restaurant and ordering my food, I’m told I’ll need to move to the bar in 15 minutes as someone has booked it. In this situation the correct action is to tell the 2nd customer the table will be free in 30 minutes and offer them a seat by the bar until then. It’s restaurant management basics, if my staff had done this on my shift I’d be having stern words.

Didn't eat here just a few pints and it's a cracker of a pub .

Excellent. Good food and service in a lovely old pub atmosphere. Glad we found it

Lovely pub...fabulous food...quick and fantastic service

We stopped here for food while driving around Cotswold, and the food and service were amazing!

Delicious meal set ina wonderful country pub
