The Kings Arms in Shropshire

They put a roof over my head when I was homeless back in oct 2020, Thank you for your help making sure I was okay bringing me breakfast and letting me stay, was a scary situation for me, but you gave me a warm meal and dried my eyes for a little your small gesture has put a massive imprint of my heart your pub is now a story in my life, that I keep coming back to Thanks for being so good to me:)!!! Xxx

Worth it to spend a night or a couple more. Lovely, helpful staff.

I love the pub but please invest in a jet wash and clean the outside seating area... I looked like the grinch when I left

always enjoy this pub ... however please jet wash the benches and decking, this time of year everyone wants to enjoy a pint outside but it seriously needs a bit of soap and water guys

One of cleobury mortimer best pubs

Great pub/hotel great atmosphere cosy with a real fire. Very friendly staff. The rooms are extremely comfortable. Great shower and a bed to sink into. Definitely recommend

We had a one night stay for a break away from home. Really warm welcome from the minute we arrived. The pub and restaurant where beautiful and the staff made you feel like a regular. The room was perfect with a comfortable bed and plenty of space. Everything was clean and fresh. We had a full English breakfast that was cooked to perfection. We will definitely be returning again. Thank you very much.

Thank you Wendy and all staff for a lovely stay. Nice comfortable room, lovely food and very tasty hobsons beer!. Looking forward to our return visit.

Lovely old building with loads of character. Lovely landlady Wendy; really friendly and welcoming. Great food, especially the brownie. Will definitely be going there again.

Friendly pub hotel, on the high street in Cleobury Mortimer. I had a large room and a comfortable bed. The shower room is quite tired, but plenty of hot water. Talking from downstairs or next door was loud during the evening, but that was the only minor issue. I could not stay for the 9am breakfast time, so they made me a little (vegan) breakfast, which was lovely (just give them a few days' notice). I think I could have also had a vegan dinner, had I wanted it. Kettle and tea/coffee (including decaf) in the room. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent stay for 2 nights. Friendly staff, good breakfast, very good value for money. Lovely quiet room.

Excellent meal as part of the deal for ‘Fish Friday’. 2 x cod, chips and mushy peas for £15! One of the best pieces of cod I have had in a very long time. Lovely place with hospitable and accommodating staff! Highly recommend.

Orderd lunch specials no Pork only 1 curry left larger pumps down ordered 3 bottle drinks only 2 In stock had to order something different my friend asked for tomato sauce non left the waitres looked very embarrassed and apologised she did ask if we wanted to leave and go somewhere else which made me feel very uncomfortable infront of friends especially when I had been before and was made very welcome and raved to my friends what a lovely atmosphere and food unfortunately I wouldn't be back because I couldn't guarantee this wouldn't happen again.

The staff were friendly on arrival but from there it went downhill. The carpet in the room was dirty, there were human hairs of several colours on the surfaces and in the bathroom including the shower and there was dust everywhere. Mistakes happen so we mentioned this to the barman who sent someone to improve the cleanliness. This certainly didn’t involve vacuuming and seemed to only focus on cleaning the toilet. We then headed out to meet friends only to return later to discover that all of the hairs were still there and a damp patch was in the bed. What we then discovered is that from room 2 you can hear every word of every conversation in the bar. Sprite was a popular sale! The room was very hot overnight and the window opens out onto a brick wall a few inches away so no view or fresh air so we struggled a bit. There was also exposed electrics for a missing light which also made the place dark. We also found the bed pretty worn, incredibly soft with a massive dip in the middle. We needed to head off before the 9am cooked breakfast and we were offered a continental option in the room. This arrived at about 8pm the night before so the milk and butter were a bit warm in the morning, not helped by the milk being a day out of date.

Absolutely fantastic stay. All who worked there could not do enough for us or to make us feel welcome. Friendly, kind and lovely people and Hotel. Had dinner and breakfast and all the food was delicious- compliments to the chef. Highly recommend!

Have visited this pub on many occasions, the food is always good, pipping hot, good portions and amazing value. The staff are extremely friendly only down point is no Robinsons cider but the wine is fine.

Friendly welcoming staff, lovely comfortable room with great food and beer. Really enjoyed our stay, all staff were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed. The bar had a wonderful log fire, the local Hobsons beer was good and enjoyed by both of us. The fish and chips was very tasty and we liked the dessert’s. Breakfast was freshly cooked . Good value for money. We hope to visit again.

I love this pub, the food is 5* and excellent value. I would highly recommend this pub for its friendly atmosphere, the staff are very helpful and the drinks are reasonably priced. Well done everybody you are doing a fantastic job.

With the Hobsons brewery currently closed to the public this pub acts as its taproom. Usually 3 Hobsons cask ales on tap. Staff are very friendly and the food is good at a reasonable price.

Arrived for lunch and had a platter for 2 which was one of the best I have had for years. Also well priced as the rest of the menu. Good offers on sale fish Friday and prosecco offer. Covid policy in place and all is good there. Staff really friendly and good lagers. Went back again and lovely roaring fire also friendly pub dog. Did not stay overnight as staff stated carpets are being sorted in all rooms so we will be back there for a night. Hard times at the moment and pub doing their best under these conditions.

We stayed at the Kings Arms Cleobury for two nights on arrival the staff were friendly and we were told we could go to our room before our check in time. The stair carpet up to the room was very dirty and there was a unpleasant smell in the corridors. when we went into our room the carpet was very dirty the flooring in the shower room was dirty, we didn't use the shower as the shower head had lime scale on it and was also very dirty , the table in the room clearly had not been cleaned and the paint work was peeling off and there was dust everywhere in the room , we cleaned the room ourselves with anti bacterial spray. overall with the pandemic situation we were very disappointed to find a room was offered in this condition

Awful. Nothing like the photos on Hotels.com A very tired room that could have been much cleaner. Floorboards all creaked, very noisy. Breakfast was continental and left outside our door!! If you can cook an evening meal, you can cook an English breakfast. Very very disappointing. Would we stay again?? Not a chance.

A nice open log fire on a cold wet day. Good beer. Had the fish and chips for lunch which was excellent. It was 'Fish Friday' so you get two fish and chips for £10. The service is friendly and efficient. Good old fashioned style pub. Hobsons beer.

Really great food and very accommodating for my mum who is gluten free and keto! they are all so friendly and so eager to help. we walked in on a Sunday lunchtime without booking and they juggled tables around so they could fit us in. it's a friendly place, good range of gins and wines. I would highly recommend The Kings Arms to anyone.

Stayed for four nights , room 4 this time , loved it , peacfull with nice view , dogs loved it too , food , staff & beer were fantastic as always , love staying here , see you all soon :)

Decided on a Sunday roast after a long walk with the dog... what a treat! Brilliant topside of beef, homemade Yorkshire, veg and creamed leeks... topped off with a pint of the Twisted Spire! Lovely warm atmosphere, really friendly staff... and a dog friendly pub! Would highly recommend!

We had gone to Cleobury Mortimer to try out the different pubs there. The first three were closed at lunchtime, the next one along the street was the Kings Arms. This was a blessing in disguise. A splendid array of real ales and an extensive menu selection to choose from. We both chose the Steak and Ale Pie, I didn't want chips and asked if there was an alternative and was offered mashed, which was fine. We thoroughly enjoyed the Pies and followed them up with another couple of swift halves. Whilst there we enjoyed most excellent and friendly service of both our food and drinks.

Beer was not good, I have been drinking Hobson best since the beginning in 1993 I think. I asked the barman who served me if it was rather end as it was not right. He said we been selling it all afternoon. . Well I will go to the Fountain in future.

We did not book ahead but the pub has plenty of seating available.There’s a nice menu with sandwiches and and filled jackets as well as a summer specials menu and specials board.Service was friendly and efficient.On street parking is available in the area.

I Came in here as I heard the food was amazing, which was correct , however the customer service of the bar tender was outrageous as when ordering my food he was very rude and told me to wait whilst being on his phone which was shocking . Where as the young waitress was outstanding at her job as she checked if our food was okay and even brought the menus and politely spoke to us. I would recommend the food but I do not agree with the customer service of the young man as he was extremely rude and was swearing as he walked by.

Stayed three nights and would definitely return.A great range of gins and well kept beers from local brewery, delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners and very helpful friendly staff. Comfortable bed and welcoming complimentary bottles of beer and water in room. It is the little touches that make the difference to a stay.Centrally located in village with plenty of free parking on hand.

Stayed 1 night here passing through, easy to find and ample parking on road outside, upon arrival we were allocated room 4 but as we entered it was already occupied so we were given room 3 which was a twin room but we booked a double, after a few minutes we were then told to move to room 2 which had a double bed, the room was small and the window opened out on to a brick wall and roof. No view as the roof and brick wall came within inches of the window, this didn’t matter to us it was a one night stay, the room had tea and coffee facilities and a nice touch was two bottles of beer and two bottles of water supplied complimentary, the bed was comfy, the room was warm and maybe a little too warm for my liking, the bathroom was large with a good shower, clean and tidy. Our only criticism is that the music down stairs went on until midnight and I could hear every single word of every customers conversation, it was so loud I didn’t get to sleep until it had all stopped and the customers left, there is no sound proofing and I literally felt like everyone was in the room with us! But after everyone went it was bliss and a good nights sleep was had, breakfast was amazing served by a very friendly cook and made the stay what it was which on the whole was very good, we would stay here again but probably would not go to bed until midnight to sleep as there is no point lying awake due to the noice, for the money it was very good value stay. Thank you.

A wonderful visit to the Kings Arms for lunch. Fresh food and very tasty. Service was very prompt and friendly. If your exploring the Shropshire country side a definite worthwhile stop as a watering hole.

We had done the Mawley Hall walk in the morning and visited the Kings Arms. We ordered drinks and food at the bar and sat outside - beer was good and the food soon arrived - our party of four all had sandwiches and chips which was very good. We had to move inside as too hot outside, at the table we chose with comfy seats there was no sun brolly. The garden area could have been made more attractive with more plants and the wooden tables and benches need some attention.

Really welcoming place, staff and regulars are all very friendly. I have enjoyed their sandwich boards at lunch time several times, with thick cut artisan bread, homemade coleslaw, salad and chips. We booked today to try their Sunday lunch menu, fantastic home cooked quality and a really good portion. This is the best value Sunday lunch around.

What a find. A lovely friendly pub, serving real ale in a very pleasant village. After a fairly long motorway drive this was a little oasis on a Friday lunchtime. The 2 fish and chips for £10 was too good a bargain to pass up. The fish was freshly cooked, the chips plentiful, the peas were peas! Washed down with a couple of halves of excellently kept real ale, this was a very welcome break on the drive.

Called in here for a lunchtime pint. Nice open fire burning just inside the front door. Rustic furniture but overall appearance is of a scruffy old pub. Nice pint of Town Cryer. Lunchtime menu looked good but looking around the pub didn't see anyone eating. So can't comment on the food.

This is a great pub at the heart of the village (town).

Nice home styled pub with some nice accommodation for the traveling person. The food is simple but tasty

Booked a table for a light lunch Big Mistake..

This must be among the direst places I have ever walked into. The menu is appalling, the food was dreadful, the service was disinterested and to cap it all the window cleaners arrived mid-lunch and people were asked to move so that they could clean the windows.

Came on a Monday evening and were pleasantly surprised to find a good range of dishes on their Monday Madness menu for £4.95! We were a family with 3 generations and had a wonderful evening to remember - excellent food (such a wide choice), a very warm welcome from staff and other customers, dog friendly, roaring fire, can't fault it. Highly recommended!

Called in for a drink whilst out walking. Excelllent range of local ales, well served in a cosy pub. Would love to come back for a meal as menu looked very good.

I thought it was very very good the staff are brilliant the food is amazing and I love the lay I went for my birthday and they made me fell really welcome

A really nice pub, great beer, good food and large clean and comfortable bedroom with free beer!! Would recommend to anyone who like staying in pubs.

Stopped here on the off chance as passing through and needed food! What a great find, I had Steak & Mushroom pie with chunky chips!

Great friendly place with a great atmosphere. Good food, local ales. You can even stay the night. Live entertainment. Beer garden. Friendly staff and friendly locals. Located in a lovely area.,

Meal with the family and we found the menu, pricing and service excellent. Two kids’ meals were good value and the pie of the day was very tasty! Washed down with a pint of the ale brewed in the village! Great service - recommend it.

Wonderful atmosphere.Good food. Menu to suit every taste. Good selection of beer. The thick cut chips are simply delicious !!

The food here might have been more bearable had we not sat in a draught between the open kitchen door and the smokers terrace! It was also extremely worrying to see kitchen staff without hair nets or hats and with extremely poor hand hygiene. It is not acceptable for those working with food to come pet a dog in the restaurant (!!) before walking back into the kitchen and not washing their hands... the food was very basic and really nothing special. Very disappointed with the good TripAdvisor reviews and a recommendation from a local! Wish we'd gone somewhere else :(

Best pub around. Fantastic food staff and comfort. Landlady is amazing and nothing is to much trouble. Love this place

Always love this pub , we booked all the rooms for 3 days for wedding , staff were fab , food lovely & beer even better , will be back soon :)

Just the sort of pub that appeals to everyone. Always busy, but not rowdy! Always something going, but not too invasive. Great friendly service, pub food and beer. Always enjoy popping in!

Dropped in after a long morning’s walk. Had a warm welcome, great food and tasty beer. A good traditional pub which is well worth a visit.

Stayed here one night in the middle of a heatwave and the World Cup. Nice modern room with king size bed and tea making facility. Nice touch with a couple of beers, biscuits and water. Shower was good and plenty of hot water. After closing time it was not noisy at all. Breakfast was freshly cooked and good. We did eat here in the evening and the steaks were excellent. All the staff were friendly. All in all a good pub in the middle of the village.

After walking up and down the high street, we decided to eat at the kings arms as it looked like it would be a nice place to eat. The lunch menu isn’t extensive, sandwiches and jacket potatoes. They do have a specials board, so we choose gammon and eggs.

I was a guest at The Kings Arms for 2 nights in May 2018. The Hotel/Pub is absolutely lovely; my room was modern, comfortable, and charming; the food (English breakfast and pub dinner) was excellent; and the staff are so fine as to warrant further explanation. My stay happened to fall over Mother's Day (May 13 in the U.S.A.), and my daughters emailed the Hotel to request that a little note be placed under my door or at my breakfast place that morning to wish me a Happy Day and to send love. Well, Wendy at The Kings Arms took it upon herself to go above and beyond my daughters' request, went out and purchased a lovely card, and signed it from my daughters with love and xxx's from "across the pond". Who DOES that?!! Well, obviously The Kings Arms does. I highly recommend a stay here. It is in a lovely village and area very close to Ludlow and other Shropshire and Worcestershire attractions. Check it out!

Stayed here last night. When we arrived they had a cancellation so offered us a choice of 2 rooms.. one with a double bed, the other with twin beds. We opted for the twin because it was a brighter, larger room. A few minutes later they came up to the room & offered to make it up as a double for us, so we let them. We spent the night in the bar, which was friendly & lively. I wish we had eaten here, but sadly ate over the road (& had a terrible meal). The bed was super comfy & I had one of the best nights sleep that I have had in ages. Breakfast was lovely this morning & I will definitely come & stay again. If I have one small criticism, then it would be not to butter the toast for guests with the breakfast. My husband doesn’t eat butter (so didn’t touch his toast) & although I do eat butter, it had too much on it even for my liking.. it’s not a moan, just a small suggestion for the future. Thanks for a lovely nights sleep.

Food was nice but awful portion sizes for the money! Chips you get about 10! I paid £2.50 aswell i was so disappointed. Wouldnt recommend the food when there are loads of other pubs near by that give big portions for reasonable prices.

We went for lunch and as the sun was shiny we sat outside. The people were very welcoming and friendly. The food was so fresh and local produce. The sandwiches were doorstep size and were delicious.

Went for an afternoon drink and the Hobsons beer was very good. Nice cosy atmosphere helped by the open log fire. Friendly staff.

We had a comfortable stay. Lovely large room and bed. The ensuite needed a little tlc but it was clean and had a nice shower. Nice cooked breakfast. We enjoyed the entertainment, the live singer was good to have for NYE. Drinks were reasonable. Loved the open fire.Staff were friendly. Whilst the eating area was tidy we were slightly uncomfortable with allowing dogs in the area. We aren’t dog people tho :). All in all a good stay and would recommend!!

Nice place - atmospheric, clean, friendly - great breakfast. No frills but would recommend for one night stay over

Took the family here for a rather impromptu lunch. Such a pleasant atmosphere, helpful staff and very good value. It's a pub, with grub, nothing OTT. The specials board is worth looking olongapo at as this compliments and main lunch menu.

Finalmente, encontramos este pub sirve cerveza hobsons (un lunes) después de pasar unos cuantos cerrado en la carretera de Bridgnorth. Lo que es más, estaban sirviendo comida hasta las 15:00 horas. Pedimos el plato de charcutería para dos (12 libras. 95) que era abundante y consistente de carne, jamón, salmón ahumado, etc. - como un solo mejor, plowman! Nos dieron una cálida bienvenida y, aunque la comida era bastante lento en llegar, fue un agradable y sin duda merece la pena esperar. Recomendaría este acogedor pub del centro del pueblo.

Consideramos este pub como nuestro "local" Aunque vivimos en el pueblo de al lado. Nos reuniremos con nuestros amigos allí para una rápida pinta en la semana y quedamos todos invariablemente tarde! !

Este pub satisface 4 de nuestros 6 pasos de pub cielo:

Alojamiento fantástico! ! Visitamos un sábado por una noche, el registro fue de 3:00 pm me dejaron registrarnos en 2! Preciosa y limpia y grande habitación doble con baño privado, con vistas preciosas, parte trasera del pueblo verde. Pub el personal era extremadamente agradable y servicial y el desayuno era excepcional. Nos preguntaron qué queríamos y yo tenía una pequeña que era ciertamente satisfactorio. Tuvimos que recoger nuestro coche de nuestra casa de amigos a una corta distancia a pie a la hora de salir a las 11 y mientras charlando con un miembro del personal no importa mantener nuestro caso hasta que regresamos, lo cual fue muy amable. Tenía un ambiente relajante y acogedor, amable y cálido lo recomiendo sin duda alguna! Gracias por nuestra estancia.

Una gran relación calidad-precio. Fuente para 2 es delicioso. Mi perro es bienvenido y el personal hizo que eran preciosas. Gran chimenea demasiado

Me alojé aquí por una noche. La positiva fue buena habitación y una cama cómoda más que. El desayuno es excelente. Personal amable. El problema es ir a dormir. Bar muy ruidoso debajo del dormitorio. A medianoche cuando el ruido cesó y luego por la mañana otros residentes en movimiento desde las 7 de la mañana.

Excellent service by Luke who always makes us feel welcome and He knows how I like my coffee! Fantastic piece of fruit cake, probably home-made. My friend had a bacon bap which was full of lovely bacon. Thank you KA

Delicious lunch for a group of 9 on a very busy Saturday. Wonderful food and service, the KA is as credit to the town.

After reading previous reviews on here, I was a little bit dubious about booking but we were pleasantly surprised. We arrived to a warm welcome, a huge characterful room with en-suite and a king/super king bed. Some bits of it were a bit tired but it is a very old building. We had room 1, above the bar, but the hum of the people below actually sent me to sleep. The silence at 11.58 actually woke me up, I heard the bells chime 12 and off I went again. Very comfy bed although I did comment that the pillows needed changing, which they tell me they were just about to do.The breakfast was very generous, my husband had the small breakfast which was plenty, I just wanted scrambled eggs on toast with bacon and got double portions. Very good. Welcomed our little dog, had dinner and drinks. Very busy popular place.

Lovely cheery pub, super friendly staff and delicious sandwiches at a great price. Will definitely return.

Stayed 27,28th November 2016 , large comfy rooms for us and our dogs , lovely staff 7 a fab breakfast , overall & fab stay :)

Nice pub, friendly service but the fairly simple food was terrible. What a shame, the menu talks a good fight but doesn't deliver. Sad to say will not revisit.

We had to wait for 1 & a half hours for the food to arrive & there was only one other couple eating food in there at the time also there were only 4 of us so the waiting time was ridiculous, the food wasn't to good so I'd avoid going here for food

Called in for an evening meal and wow what a treat place was full and there was a bit of a wait for food to be delivered but was worth waiting for food was cooked fresh to order steak done to perfection and the fish was stunning, would recommend to anyone

It's a room over a loud pub, I probably choose the wrong pub as was run route to a mtb race and just wanted to sleep really. Loud music played till midnight and there's no insulation so was v loud in the room. They did accommodate an earlier departure than they normally do.

First time in the pub, quite impressed by the menu. Came in for dinner, having seen some dishes were £5.95. Hubby had hunters chicken, daughter had the fish and chips, I had the veg curry. We were a little unnerved when the owner walked past and asked us if we were eating, and we said yes, so she said the chef had gone AWOL, but someone would be there to cook. It didnt take long at all, we have waited longer at other places!Whoever cooked our meals should stay!! the portions were enormous, and everything on hot plates. Fish the size of a whale, chicken must have been from a huge bird, and my veg curry was nearly double what I normally eat. But we tucked in, and were in raptures. Happy chomping noises all round, daughter managed to help me with my meal... Only complaint from hubby was too much barbeque sauce on the chicken, but he is fussy! There is a great choice of Hobsons ales, ciders and wine. Pub was clean, staff were friendly. For the prices we paid I cannot complain! I only hope we get the same again when we go soon!

We are weekly regulars and have been off and on for 20 years. The atmosphere staff and bear ciders are excellent. The food is hearty but generally below average quality. Good outside area and welcomed kids and dogs. Occasional bands. Best when students return.

Worst tagliatelle ever tasted, weak runny sauce, virtually no bacon. Not interested in our complaint. Whoever cooked this seriously needs to think again.

Stayed at the KA again this may , room was spacious & clean for us & our two dogs , food was lovely , beer was great as usual & staff friendly , looking forward to our next visit in August .

My wife and I stayed here for two nights and would convey a warning to anyone thinking of staying and getting an early night; the rooms are not at all sound proof and the music in the pub echoes around the rooms until midnight, when the pub closes. This wasn't an issue for the first night as we didn't arrive until gone eleven, but the second night was very frustrating when trying to get to sleep! This was made worse when we awoke to find that there was not hot water for the shower! There was no hotel information in the room so no contact details for help and the owners leave the pub empty at night. Staff were hard to find in the morning for breakfast and after sitting for 10 minutes we had to go into the kitchen to find someone to come and serve us.On the plus side the room was a decent size and attractive with a modern look. Plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits in the room which is always a must. The staff were very friendly and were able to knock us up a breakfast pack up for a very early start which was nice. The full English we had the second morning was good!Overall an OK stay but probably wouldn't stay again - noise issue needs sorting out and there should always be someone available to help with issues such as no hot water.

Very popular pub, serving real ale Hobsons made just up the road, lots of beers to choose from, good service, even the locals are friendly worth popping in for a good pint, we have not eaten here yet so can not comment on the food

The rooms was warm and comfortable. The staff were very accommodating - I had to have breakfast early and that was fine with them. I had a lovely evening meal as well. I would recommend to anyone and I will come back if I am in the area again. Really reasonable pricing as well.

Our walking group needed a pub that could provide snacks for 19 on a Monday lunchtime in Cleobury Mortimer. This was the only pub that welcomed our custom and what a welcome it was! Generous helpings served with a smile and the added bonus of local brewed ale. A fitting member of the hospitality industry.

This pub has a lovely local feel to it, nice decor inside, wooden floors, wooden tables and chairs, and a well stocked log fire (in winter months)There is a nice outside seating area - nice in summer. The bar is well stocked, try the local ale - Hobsons, really nice and the bar staff will be able to recommend a good choice. Food is also very nice and fresh, and the atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming.Definitely worth a visit when in Cleobury!

Great local ale and the food is excellent too! Lovely lunches.Try the local "real" ham and chunky chips.

Ok, I'm biased, i live in the village (Cleobury Mortimer), and most evenings, you will find me in the KA, with my dog Max the Rhodisian Ridgeback.( all dogs welcome)There's always someone to chat to,and even just listening is part of the ambiance,What can I say its a great place to eat, drink, and feel comfortable. Oh and don't forget the bed and breakfast, haven't tried the bed, but the breakfast worth trying,.

Arrived 1/2 hour early for our table was greeted by a lovely friendly lady, drinks order was taken and delivered promptly, food was great, staff very accommodating and the glass of Fizz for the mums was a nice little gesture, sat by the log fire afterwards had coffees, excellent meal, venue and value for money too, thank you for making the day special.

Went for dinner with visiting family and had excellent food. 2 x steak meals absolutely faultless and a perfect seafood salad. Onion rings to die for. Friendly staff. Good country pub atmosphere and well kept locally brewed ale.

We travelled from Birmingham as we were visiting a local curry house.Rooms were very clean and very spacious,Good choice of beers and staff very friendly.Breakfast very nice.Room rate very reasonableWould definitely stay again.

We were made to feel very welcome on arrival even though we just called on the off chance, not having booked. Drinks were served quickly and then we read the menu and the specials board and placed our orders. There were seven of us, some chose from the specials board and others from the menu, we noticed the note on the menu that said everything is cooked to order so may take a while and we were prepared for a wait. It wasn't a long wait, just long enough for the food to be cooked, exactly as it said! Food was nicely presented and the portions were generous. My meal of turkey, ham and sweetcorn pie with vegetables was hot, tasty and filling, it had a nice light puff pastry lid and was packed with good sized chunks of meat in a tasty sauce, it came with a generous serving of peas, carrots and mange tout, I really enjoyed it.It was a nice atmosphere, there was a lovely log fire burning and when we left we were thanked by the staff. Good food, a nice fire, friendly staff, what more could you want on a February Friday lunchtime? I'd happily go back.

Went out for lunch with some family members and after finding out The Stable and The Talbot didn't serve food on a Tuesday, we were stuck with going to The Kings Arms. We got there and found there were no tables but were happy to wait. The barmaid said that we could push two tables together if we wanted even though there was a couple sat on a six seater table that would have probably moved if they'd been asked politely due to there being plenty of two seater tables. After finally getting a table we were told there was a twenty-thirty minutes wait for food. There was one member of staff in the kitchen and one member of staff in the bar and they were having to manage the very busy pub on their own. We all ordered our food and were then told that we had to change our order due to there being only two portions of fish left. After changing the order and waiting nearly an hour for the food, it finally arrived and was a disappointment. The steak and ale pie was very dry and just had a measly disc of pastry plonked on top of it. It wouldn't have been considered that bad if there had been a sensible amount of chips with the pie but no. We counted seven chips on the plate. Seven. That wasn't the only dish with a tiny amount of chips either. All of the meals had less that ten chips on each plate. The egg that went with the ham and seven chips on another plate was also raw. When you cut into the egg, raw egg white came out of it. The only good thing i can say about the meal was the fish. It was a very large piece and despite being the last two they were tasty. Overall the food was diabolical and I will be amazed if the person who ate the egg doesn't have food poisoning tomorrow. Definitely will not be returning because it ruined our day and was a complete let down.

disappointed in this as we had seen good reviews on this site. not welcoming so we didnt stay to eat. decor not so good although the big fire was inviting. would not go back

Lovely atmosphere here, nice log fire burning on a cold winters morning. We had some hot and cold drinks which were fine, food was eaten too and that was ok. I had a fish finger sandwich and it was nice however slightly greasy - good staff and service!

This pub is a great local pub, nice decor, friendly feel that comes from a village pub. The selection of drinks is good - especially the selection of Hobson ales (locally brewed and definitely worth trying)Staff are welcoming and in winter the log fire adds to the atmosphere.Food served here is also of good quality.Well worth a visit.

I went here initially to get out of the rain but ended up staying for around 2 hours! I was tempted in by the sign outside that said coffee and cake but unfortunately they only had one option for cake which I didn't fancy. That was disappointing as was the fact that the quiz machine didn't work and I lost 40p as it wouldn't refund my money! Other than that it was a very positive experience. It has a fantastic open fire which kept my family and me warm and it had a very nice smokey smell going on which made it very relaxing (I almost fell asleep in the comfy high backed chairs!). I ordered a hot chocolate which was excellent, lots of whipped cream and marshmallows and it was a very good price - around £2 I think. It was also fairly quiet which meant my family and I could chat and drink without having to shout to hear each other. I'd recommend going here for a hot drink or a quick pint of you want a nice comfortable surrounding to waste a few hours.

Stayed at the KA last week for 2 nights , once again staff & locals friendly , food was tasty , beer lovely, plenty of room for us and our dogs , log fire was fab , will return in March for sure :)
