A friend and I had a lovely lunch here on Thursday of this week. We both had scampi and chips, the chips were excellent as was the scampi. The service was excellent too. Staff were very friendly.

Heartfelt thanks to Steve, Lucy and the team who went out of their way today to feed my family after a whirlwind, crazy weekend away. Steve whipped up a delicious roast dinner and packed it up for me to take home. Missed the ambience of the pub but still absolutely delish and definitely one to try (again and again!) An outstanding family pub for everyone. We’ll be back very soon!

We were so pleased with our lunch at The Kings Arms here in Whitchurch. I had the mediterranean tart which came very warm and crisp straight from the oven and was accompanied with a salad dressed in balsamic sauce and chips. Delicious. A friend enjoyed her white bait with chips and peas and my other friend had scampi and chips which was very good she said. Compliments to the chef and also the delightful servers. I return on 19th for lunch - looking forward.

Always a good atmosphere and friendly staff whenever I visit, which is about once per month. Never takes long to be served at the bar, and the food I've had has come out quickly and been of good quality. Only criticism is the cost of some things, such as soft drinks. I regularly have to be the driver, and I found it a bit steep paying like £4.35 for a pint of orange juice and lemonade when my friends are paying between £5 to £6 for a pint various draughts.

Sunday roast consisting of one beef and one lamb. Veg was unimaginative. Rock hard boiled carrots, fine beans and baby corn (baby corn on a roast is massively questionable). Once again the Yorkshire had a burnt taste to it. This is the 2nd time we have visited in the last 5 months and will be the last.

I gave a negative review 4 years ago and I am pleased to report that things have improved. The set menu could still be improved, but the specials we both good. My stone bass with butter beans was not overcooked, as fish often is and the potted lamb was good too. The experience is further improved by cheerful and professional young serving staff. Well done.

Lost its charm sadly, used to be able to swing by grab a nice light lunch and have a pint during the week. (dirty fries or a pizza etc) but now the food is all too formal for a quick pit stop. Also much less choice of drinks. I get the impression that the drinks on tap are what the landlord likes, very few good Larger’s and zero IPA’s to choose from. Not everyone likes flat ale! But it seems they do so there is a few ales to choose from. Food wise the menu is limited and lacks some traditional good old pub favourites. Fancy burger that is not actually that great, a venison burger etc. I hope it works for the new owners but never seen it so quiet at lunch time during the week. Used to be busy for lunch and now its not. But prices and portion sizes are good. Also the new staff are not a patch on the old friendly chatty lot.

The garden is not the biggest but a lot of it is undercover so if you want some shade or its raining then its ideal. Being walking distance to my house is always a massive bonus! However if you are passing through and fancy a good pint or a bite to eat then a great choice!

Phoned at 11:30am to book a table for my family of 4 and dog for 2:30-2:45pm, which they confirmed and read back to me. When we arrived, they didn't have a table for us, no apologies, no explanation, didn't offer for us to sit at and wait for one to become available, could only offer us a tall bar table with tall bar stools that we wouldn't have even fitted our dinner plates onto. Not really the cozy Sunday lunch we pictured sitting down to after a few miles walking to get there. Luckily the Furze Bush down the road had space and were far more accommodating. Sorry, RC, I've always praised your pub, atmosphere and food to all my friends and family, but won't be any more.
