The King's Arms in South Oxfordshire

i am mortified. i was stranded in this area after a horrific incident happened to me. i ran to this pub for safety. i was very shaken up and ran to the toilet to sort myself out. as i went to talk out as my uber had arrived an old woman behind the counter (24/08/24) at around 1pm shouted at me ‘EXCUSE ME, SAY THANK YOU’ in a very harsh and degrading way. i have currently got tonsillitis and it is very painful when i talk but upon exit i smiled at her and this is what i got in response??? this added to the trauma i just experienced. you never know what someone is going through. i WILL be taking this further. i am disgusted.

A pleasant enough pub. Friendly barstaff. Didn't have any food, but the selection of beer was good and the ale I had was in good condition. Pleasant outside drinking area as well.

Great place . Excellent food and staff . Landlady is excellent and knows how to make people comfortable.. Will visit again

Lovely family pub supper. Yummy food, decent price, friendly service.

Been here numerous times. I love this pub. My soup was delicious. The prices are no worse, nor better, than anywhere else. This is a traditional ENGLISH pub. I will definitely return.

Had a party for 14 on Saturday .Tasty food 14 empty plates, friendly and efficient staff, lovely atmosphere . Highly recomend

The food was amazing. The staff are very nice and welcoming. They celebrated my birthday with waffles. Very nice , everyone is very friendly.

I know... 5 stars in all 3 areas sounds unlikely... but, on 3 occasions now we have stopped off here on our way from B'ham to the south coast on a Sunday and each time it has been very busy and really good in all respects... Friendly Landlady and staff who were a credit to her, very attentive during our visit - 2 Excellent (very generous portions - with separate veg inc Cauliflower Cheese) well presented Sunday roasts, 2 pints and out for bang on 40 quid! Proper Result - Go Forth & Prosper!!

Lovely food, good choice of menu friendly staff. We will be back.

Delicious homemade roast dinner. Definitely recommend

Visited as part of a large private party for a roast dinner. The food was average at best, we've had much better elsewhere. The side veg was under cooked for our liking, the poor young girl serving was under great pressure, she was doing her best. Some guests asked for more roast potatoes and yorkshire puddings but these didn't arrive. The chicken was very chewy, the pork wasn't great either and the beef was very fatty and nearly all the guests left so hungry they had to buy fast food on their way home. I'm posting a review because the lead guest has told me they were over charged by around £90 and they had visited to complain and request this be refunded, they were greeted by a very bad attitude from the guy behind the bar and he became quite verbally abusive which we feel is extremely bad. The customer is always right until proven otherwise. We were also told the bill was not itemised, which it should have been. The lead guests were told a service charge had been added on, this was not pre discussed or agreed prior to the event, and they were also told the childrens roast would be half price, but had been charged full price. When this was questioned during the conversation, the guy behind the bar said "well did you expect it all for nothing?" No they certainly did not and we didn't take kindly to the maner in which he spoke to them. It was finally resolved with a refund being given of £72 so please be aware of this, should you be thinking of booking your own function at this place. We certainly would not return again.

Tasty Sunday lunch in a lovely atmosphere

Bangers And Mash . Comfort Food par excellence

This pub took a last minute request for 11 people and the staff were super friendly. They have a good selection of beer available and food too. They have parking available but we had to park near a residential property since it was full. It was a pretty cosy atmosphere and they had ample seating available. The hot and spicy wings had a good masala however the meat was pretty bland. The steak and ale was pretty good, we enjoyed the gravy. The Thai green curry was surprisingly authentic however the quantity could be a little bit more, the curry was too little for the rice provided. The brownie with ice-cream was delicious and the perfect amount.

A warm welcome on a Thursday lunchtime. The pub was warm- no complaints.My soup was delicious- my friends pate looked A1 and was apparently great too. These village pubs must be kept open. I'd gladly visit here again

Barely any vegan and gluten free options, and none for dessert.

This pub is a scam, they poor “ales” from bottles instead of casks, food service and horrible vibe

I had the Green Thai and a pint of persuader. Will come back for more. Fantastic welcome, friendly service, great food.

Having made a nostalgic visit for lunch and a pint in April, I found at the King’s Arms the same congenial hospitality and quality that I knew when I lived in nearby Holton some 47 years ago! Friendly people, good food, and that traditional pub ambience that I enjoyed as a young American serviceman living in England!

Had lunch here before going to Water Perry Gardens. The food and service was great .

Lovely pub. Welcoming staff and reasonable prices

Thank you all so very much , we had an amazing day helping to celebrate Eileen's birthday. You are an absolutely wonderful family.

Really friendly staff. Excellent lamb chops and green curry. Would come again

Newby .. good pint of Guinness ...not rushed ..will visit the pub again !!

Fabulous pub with great staff and superb food - had the Thai massaman curry which was delicious. Good beer, pub, outdoor area. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Roast, good value, friendly staff. We will be back..fantastic Eton mess. Good choice of starters,highgly recommended

Epic Sunday Roast and super staff! Really something special and not to be missed... No chain pub here!

Had Sunday roast and it was very nice and the service was great.

Loved it absolutely loved it. What a great pub.

What a lovely venue for food and drinks in Wheatley! The Staff are a credit to the Management. A very welcoming, warm and friendly place. Very tasteful background music that had us bopping in our seats. They even provided throws to keep us warm should the weather change. A scrupulously clean environment I'm looking forward to my next visit. Well done 👏

Best Sunday lunch in years …what a find …we will be back for sure Sally x

Booked for 60th birthday , party of 19 people and the food was excellent and served with a smile and everything was prompt and hot , service though out the night was excellent would definitely recommend

We thank Maria and her wonderful team for feeding our family with a superb Sunday Roast. Generous meals, great ingredients, excellent value for money… we’ll be back!

Great family run pub, brilliant staff, and good pub grub.

Lovely little Gem , in Wheatley, Great Christmas atmosphere & friendly locals 👌, along with a great landlady & staff. Well worth a visit, for food or drinks!

Amazing roast! Food was wonderful, with a lovely open fire, and excellent service! Definitely 5 stars, we will be back again very soon!

Lovely pub !! So friendly and welcoming. Enjoyed a great lunch there today after hospital appointment in Oxford. Exceptional menu.....spoilt for choice, but once decided we weren't disappointed. Very generous and reasonably priced. Will definitely visit again.

Average local boozer. Did not sample the Thai food

Lovely pub. I only popped in for a pint of Birra Moretti and crisps but friendly staff & nice outside seating area! Will return!

Absolutely brilliant Sunday lunch. Very kind and family friendly. Great portions and a great price. A really good pub.

Delicious food and warm atmosphere. The staff is efficient and welcoming.

Really nice atmosphere, quick service and good prices was only £40 for 3 meals

Great friendly staff. We were late calling but they still rustled up an excellent roast and pulled a decent pint.

Very comfortable and relaxing and clean.

Friendly service, excellent menu and great food

I wish this pub was in Stockport! We were travelling and rang this pub to see when they stopped serving food which was 2.30 but they kept the kitchen open for us until we arrived at 3pm. We had steak pie and a couple if pints. Great food. Warm and fun atmosphere. Dogs allowed in certain areas and good outdoor space. For wine lovers they had some great Romanian wines which were delicious.

Really nice pub, great food, and 3 minutes from the M40. If you exit the motorway for Oxford services drive past that and go to The Kings Arms instead!

Six of us ordered 5 different meals, and we were all really happy with what we got. Good food, nice place, friendly staff. Would go to again

Lovely pub frequented by locals who made us very welcome. Nice food menu, Would of been 5 stars but popularity and only a very small car park makes it hit and miss to get in.

Really good ambience friendly locals nice food.

Sunday lunch, generous helping couldn't finish it and the girl provided containers to allow us to take the rest home. Great service.

Lovely friendly pub with good selection of ales, beers and ciders; nice outside terrace including a covered area having patio heater lamps

Amazingly lovely staff, beautiful outside space, would absolutely recommend

After 2 years of being in Oxford, I finally decided to give the King's Arms (Wheatley) a try. I went in and was given a very warm welcome! The barkeep was very friendly and made sure everything was ok, etc. An absolute A+ for service in my books. I ordered the sausage and mash and chicken wings, quite pricey in my opinion. Came to a grand total of 20 quid! Thank god I didn't get a pint with it! To be critical (and hence why it's only 4 stars), the chicken wings were hard and not tender at all. They were also misadvertised as "garlic and chili wings" - to my surprise, when they came out, they were just plain chicken wings drizzled in sweet chili sauce. This slightly ticked me off since I was expecting the Chinese takeaway style of finely chopped garlic and raw chili, deep fried in batter. However, the sausage and mash was extremely nice! I'd highly recommend that. I'd definitely return here afrer a long study session to relax and chat to the locals (who are very friendly!) Overall a great pub with a lovely cozy vibe to it! Please visit it!

What a fab pub. Lovely food and drink. Staff really friendly and helpful. We had a great evening. Thoroughly recommended

Fantastic Sunday Roast!! Great food and really friendly service!!

Tonight was my first time coming to this pub, but honestly I have nothing absolutely nothing bad to say about this pub. The staff are really friendly and give you a warm welcome,the atmosphere is a very positive one and the food is so amazing you'll love it. I highly recommend this pub to anyone passing through Wheatley you shall not be disappointed.

Great pub I had a big poo there (sorry)

This place is incredible. Great staff, owner, atmosphere and the best of all is the food! The food is incredible and when you consider that 2 of us ate starters, main course and drinks for £40 its great value. Certainly not busy enough for the quality that these guys serve.

Good atmosphere, but they need more staff. Affordable and generous roast dinner

We had a great time at our football club's Christmas party last night. Food was excellent really generous portions, the service was great too.I would thoroughly recommend.

Very welcoming with a good food selection.

Had Sunday lunch here. Food really nice. Friendly welcome and good service.

Lovely little pub located close to Oxfordbrook university Wheatley campus. Really friendly service and lots of original features and good outdoor seating area. Food was average but in all a decent quick stop.

Great little pub. Fab food and fantastic friendly service.

Lovely people , GOOD" atmosphere whats not to like , we have a pub local to us , but we choose The Kings Arms , they appreciate your custom , and most of all they are WELCOMING , whats not to like . JOHN + DEBBIE

Nice to see the place busy . Congratulations to Marie and The Team for all the work they have put in

Lovely village pub serving great food including vegan options

Meant to put 5 stars .the last few roasts weve had are exceptional

Great country pub with open fire. Great lunch. Highly recommend

Friendly bar staff and customers

We went to this The Kings Arm randomly after looking for somewhere to eat and let tell you we wasn’t disappointed at all.Soon as we walked through the door we was greeted and all the staff were very friendly.Food is definitely worth it and would definitely go there again.

The place is fantastic the staff is what makes it so lovely I did not mean to give one star. It is a 5 star place all day long because of staff and the fantastic punters.

I recently visited this establishment for the first time. I found all the staff welcoming and only too willing to help and advise going through the menu. Eight of us really enjoyed our lunch and the complimentary ice creams for the kids really was a nice touch. Looking forward to a return visit.

Good food.... Friendly service.

Sunday lunch was delicious staff really friendly locals were just as nice

Our family have been here a few times, and each time the food and service has been great.Really good value. I had baked goats cheese to start, followed by roast beef which was so tender. Really enjoyed it we all had a fab meal and will definitely be returning soon.Dog friendly too, our little puppy really enjoyed it too ha.Lovely pub, has a really nice atmosphere.

The best Thai green curry! Great service, good food. Highly recommend stopping in here.

Chose to eat here so we could take our dog. We were able to eat in the bar where there were quite a few tables. There was a nice ambiance, it seemed to be quite busy, staff and customers were friendly.We both had main courses from the Thai menu, which was available on a Friday evening, spicy and tasty. Also beer and desserts. There were a couple of ales on tap.

Excellent, homemade food and such lovely staff! Really recommend it 👍

Lovely lunch. Really friendly pub!

Ate at the kings arms when visiting Wheatley. The food was good freshly cooked and hot. The restaurant didn’t seem very busy but we were early.

We stopped here for a couple of pints and a bit of grub en route to the Kassam Stadium. My friend had a very decent chicken burger with chips and salad and we drank their San Miguel on draft which is my favourite.The bar staff are friendly and helpful (we needed serving quickly as we running late) and it was only a shame we couldn’t have Thai because of the wait.

Very friendly good service, lovely food, very welcoming

Nice food and the staff were kind and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was piping hot but if you are having a roast dinner then the chicken is a better choice than the beef :)

這是在地著名的英式酒吧！因為我們人較多，所以有事先預約。抵達時除了我們預約的位子外，其他都坐滿人了。我們享用了一頓傳統英式餐點包括炸魚薯條丶雞肉派等。食物沒有特別出色，但整個酒吧氣氛很好。
