The Kings Arms, All Cannings in Wiltshire

A truly lovely english pub. Great food. Barny the publican and Charlotte the bar maid are lovely. Very relaxing and comfortable. The only place we ate twice while on holidays.

This dog friendly pub in All Cannings serves up a terrific Sunday lunch. All perfectly cooked, and delicious. Well kept beer, attentive and friendly service made it a very enjoyable time.

A great pub with fantastic food. The staff were very friendly, efficient and keen to ensure we had a good visit, which we did. The King Burger was cooked to perfection and the pile of chips was enough to ensure I didn't mind sharing. Despite being quite busy the staff were completely on top of the service. Highly recommended but I would book before hand if you can.

This is hands down one of the best pubs I’ve been to for a while. All the staff were exceptionally welcoming. We were on the Bikepacking trip, and the landlord kindly let us camp in the garden. The cask ales were brilliant, we stayed and watch the football and also had some food, which was amazing. We have the Special which was steak and ale pie. Really lovely atmosphere. When we can’t, we could use an outside washroom as well. If ever, I’m in the area I would definitely go back in this place. The landlord is doing a sterling job

Just been with my husband for a Sunday Roast Lunch.Took a while to find the pub as it is tucked down a side Road.The Landlord was very friendly and made us feel very welcome .The food was beautifully cooked and presented with generous accompanying veg and cauliflower cheese.My husband was delighted as he managed to get some rare roast beef.Was very full but managed to share a wonderfully tangy lemon posset,one of my favourites.Will definitely return when next visiting the area.

I can honestly say this was the best ‘pub Sunday Lunch’ I have experienced. Warm welcome on arrival…. Lovely open fire… interesting menu… great service from smart uniformed and friendly staff….. a proper landlord figure….. superb food with great meats and plenty of quality veg….. good choice of sensibly priced wines….. We shall be back, in fact booked already with friends for the Thursday steak special

Had a lovely 3 day stay here in the camping field at the rear of the pub. Have been here a few times in our caravan over the years but not since COVID. Booking the site was easy as. On arrival I was really pleased to see that the landlord Richard (Barney) was still there. He runs a delightful village pub and has won awards for his cellar craft. I had a few pints while I was there, my favourite was Henry's IPA. Last night we dined (two couples). What a great meal we had. My wife really enjoyed her Hunters Chicken whilst 3 of us shared the Flat Iron steak platter. This is clearly a weekly favourite in the pub. Best steak meal I've ever had, we had a mixture of rare to medium, served with a wonderful cabbage dish, fresh dressed salad and rustic style chips. Absolute knockout and I would highly recommend. We were a little unfortunate in that it rained throughout our stay but we still had a great time. This is a proper village pub in a lovely part of England. Go visit. We were unable to drive off the grass field because of the torrential rainfall, no worries Richard phoned a local farmer who obliged with his tractor! Thanks James

What a glorious pub. Its bloody great. On a canal trip. Yes it's October. Visited this pub at the end of a long day of locks. All 4 of is 68 . Food was great. Drinks were great ambiance was great. Locals playing cribbage in corner. Real pub

We were staying at Rendalls farm which was only a two minute walk away and had pre booked for a Sunday dinner and we were not disappointed. All the roasts were excellent, my wife and I had belly pork, beef and my daughter had a burger, just to be different. All were absolutely spot on and we decided to stay for the afternoon and enjoy a drink in the beer garden. We went back later in the week for an evening meal and the standard was just as good.

We chose the Kings Arms to stop for lunch on a long drive home and we were so happy we did! Food was amazing, service was great. Highly recommend the roast, especially the sausage meat stuffing!

We were staying at Bridge farm camp site which also is getting 5stars, went down for a drink on the Friday night and had a warm welcome, food was great and staff were superb. Asked 'Barny' the landlord of over 20 years if they were opening early on the Saturday for the England lady's world cup match and his response was amazing, allowed us to go in earlier and watch the game on a big screen. Had an amazing lunch, huge variety including vegetarian or vegan and was so welcoming, definitely a home from home. Thank you Barny!! A definite return visit in the very near future. Highly recommend

Celebrated my husbands 60th birthday here - a party of 10. We all had main courses - belly pork, chicken schnitzel, plaice and burgers chosen and everyone enjoyed. Lovely friendly staff. We pre ordered so the timing was good. Reasonably priced too.

Stopped off for lunch break during a cycle ride. Beautiful sunny day so sat outside to wait for pub to open ) cycled faster than we thought !) I had the Special which was field mushrooms with red onion chutney and goats cheese, absolutely delicious. My husband had the BLT roll with chips, very good value as well. Unfortunately we had to get back on the bikes but will definitely stop off there again

Delicious meal for my birthday. Several of our table had the fish bowl, the sauce was amazing. Really good food and great service. Would highly recommend.

Gorgeous pub with great interior and interesting garden with views. Extremely good food & drink, and a great menu. We were camping there and had two meals booked in the pub, but only managed one as had to return home for sick relative - feels like unfinished business, as the first meal was superb. New chef since Feb - good choice. Chicken liver starter was lovely and big enough to be a main course, Faggots on black pudding mash with onion straw and grazy was sublime. My wife enjoyed the sea bream and chorizo cassoulet. Back soon!!

Booked for lunch with friends as we are fairly local so it was an ideal spot to meet. Upon arrival, the Romanian / Ukrainian man was not very friendly and very blunt towards us. Not ideal in a hospitality setting. We waited over an hour for our food which we thought was strange as the pub wasn’t very busy as expected on a weekday lunch. My plaice had appeared to be defrosted and then cooked as the water had drained all over my plate mixing with my barely brown butter and capers. It’s such a shame as the pub always had an excellent reputation for being a friendly “proper pub”. I think they have a new chef as the social media shows but somebody really needs to proof read the posts as the spelling / grammar puts the pub down immensely. I love a big ego in a chef but the ego didn’t match the food at all in this case. The ego seems so big on social media I’m surprised he fits in the kitchen at all…..

The Kings Arms is a great cozy pub that has a superb seasonal menu & talented new chef. Highly recommend, so pleased to have this pub local close to home. Well done all the front of house staff too, all very polite and keen to look after the guests.

Limited Boxing Day menu but food was excellent. Service was great and a very welcoming atmosphere. So good we went back next day to try full menu but it was still the limited one but didn’t matter really. Great food and portions.

Went with visiting family for their set Sunday lunch and had a fantastic meal. Delicious and plenty of it, and oh, the sticky toffee pudding!!! Lovely, friendly and very cosy environment, we were made to feel most welcomed.

My partner was out walking when he came across this pub. He noticed the A board outside advertising curry night. We decided to walk from the canal where we had moored our narrowboat. Such a lovely warm welcome when we walked in. Open fire was going and a few locals at the bar. Proper English country pub atmosphere. We ordered out curry. I had tandoori mixed grill and my partner had Thai green chicken curry. Food arrived in good time and was delicious, helped down by a pint of IPA ale. Such a wonderful time. Thank you all for wonderful food served by really friendly staff. Will recommend this pub to everybody. Well worth the 15 min walk from the canal. Hope to visit again soon.

I had a weekend away to celebrate my 70th birthday. I arrived with my family, 5 adults and 2 children, for a pub lunch without prior booking. The staff were a little worried due to a pre-booked party arriving shortly afterwards. As it was sunny we happily sat outside. The food was good and the service was excellent. Would happily eat there again.

A really friendly pub in a lovely village. Great selection on the menu and a wide variety of specials. I had the rack of BBQ ribs which was amazing and so tender. Husband had the Shepherd's pie and that was delicious too. Highly recommend this...

Friendly helpful staff, welcoming atmosphere, thoroughly enjoyable evening. Food was amazing - beef strips in spicy hoisin sauce and brie to start, sirloin steak and chicken pie mains, chocolate tart with ice cream and frangipani tart for desert. All out of this world. Definitely recommended.

Dropped in here unexpectedly, twice, to find a very warm welcome from the landlord behind the bar. Finding us a table proved no problem and we were served incredibly good food, both nights, along with a selection of very well kept ales.

beautiful grounds and charming pub. excellent food, lovely staff and service and great for dogs....🙂👍 throughly recommend the swordfish rum infused ale.

A great pub to visit on a trip on the Kennet and Avon Canal just a 15 minute stroll through the pretty village of All Cannings. The staff welcome you whilst keeping everyone Covid safe, by far the best Covid safe pub I’ve been to....

Made very welcome and the food was excellent with an interesting menu. Thanks for looking after us and our two daft dogs too!!

They did try but for £18 I got a roasted pepper a slice of aubergine a couple of carrots & peas & a spoon full of rice with a rather nice beetroot/tom sauce. Nice that they tried & service was great but left hungry...

Lovely socially distanced lunch! Delicious food and good service. Not the cheapest place around but the food was good quality!

What a lovely Country Pub. We had an evening meal which was delicious and the staff were lovely and welcoming. There is an amazing Music festival weekend every September with stars from the past taking part in aid of cancer.

Only a short walk from the canal (bridge 127) to a very nice and comfortable pub. Great service, very friendly and dogs welcome (treats supplied). Food was outstanding and a good selection on the menu and the specials board. Felt very covid secure.

We visit the Kings Arms several times a year when we are on the nearby Kennet and Avon Canal. On Saturday last we made our first visit post lockdown. The food and welcome from the landlord were brilliant as always. During lockdown they have totally...

I've come here a couple of times now with my Mum since she's relocated onto the Kennet and Avon canal nearby. It's everything you want in a Sunday pub - cosy decor, fires lit (weather dependant), nibbles out on the bar. We had pork belly...

What a treat. Escaped our narrow boat for the evening and found the Kings Arms. Warm welcome, especially for our dog. Good beer, pool table, friendly service and top notch food. The lamb special was superb.

Enjoyed the food we had but disappointed the full menu was not available (it was a Sunday) despite being told on the phone when we booked it would be. Nice pub though, friendly staff and management and the food we had was ok. My wife especially enjoyed her roast.

The first time we tried to book it was to no avail, but luckily we managed to book for Sunday night. Plenty of room in the car park; lovely welcome at the bar; the food was really good and plentiful, we would certainly return to this little gem.

We were staying nearby and at the recommendation of our hosts booked a table ahead of our visit - good job we did - although it was a wet very unseasonal summer's evening there was a lot of diners! Strangely enough on arrival we recalled we had actually visited this pub to eat in the past - in fact 2006 - when we were staying just around the corner!! We ordered our drinks at the bar and were shown to our table - a good location with a nice atmosphere. We browsed the menu and the daily specials board and changed our choices several times! Unfortunately there were a couple of dishes already "sold out" on the specials board. When the server came to take our food order we were informed a couple of the dishes we'd decided upon were also "sold out" - a good indication that this is a busy pub and the food is good! We decided upon starters - 2 of us had the butternut squash soup and the 3rd member of our party had the stir-fryed beef dish - all absolutely delicious! For our main courses we had Gammon Steak - 2 eggs (both of which were double yokers!), Beef Burger and Fish and Chips - large portions, well presented and so tasty. No room for deserts unfortunately - as the choices were very tempting! All in all a great meal and wish we lived nearer to come more often! Thank you.

Fabulous food, but the portions are oh, so big! In fact the face of the chap sat at the adjacent table when he was served his Desperate Dan-style pie, having eaten a starter, was quite amusing!

Had a lunch in the garden on a nice summers day. Sat outside in the garden. Lots of space. Very nice food. Very helpful staff at the bar. Had a really nice walk along the canal afterwards. Really lovely time there.

Went to the Kings Arms as a family for a spontaneous Sunday lunch. Super friendly and lovely menu. We brought our nearly two year daughter with us and they provided a high chair and catered for her brilliantly ( the cheese chunks on the bar where a huge hit)

Popped in on Sunday for a light lunch. The three course Sunday roast, which looked and smelt great, was just too much. They very kindly let us just have one course.. the soup was tasty and the prawns were very good

Our visit was linked to our White Horse Gypsy Caravans experience. The King's Arms was recommended to us by Polly (White Horse Gypsy Caravans) and her advice was good. This is a lovely pub with a warm welcome, friendly staff and very good quality food. The prices are very reasonable too, so good value for money. Our food was cooked beautifully, well presented and the portions were generous. Great beer from the local brewery (Wadworths) topped off a very good meal.

Find this place its amazing. Do not pass!! We were on a boat on the Kennet & Avon canal, moored by bridge 128. We had the most amazing evening meal on Wednesday night then went back Thursday, after a few miles boating, for lunch. The food is outstanding & the staff who served us were exceptional, top notch. The photos on the walls of The Concerts at The Kings were awesome! Worth a visit to see those alone (do buy at drink tho, then a meal, then go back again lol) We live an hour plus away, but will definitely go back just to have that tuna dish again. Thanks soooooo much!!

Good pub food, very friendly staff and publican, good beer, happy family place, lovely location. Great to walk from.

Not only are you made to feel very welcome at the Kings Arms, there is a varied choice of drinks and you are spoilt for choice for food, which is always delicious. Good value in cost surroundings: when the weather is good there is a lovely garden to sit in.

Eight hungry/thirsty walkers were royally satiated! Staff are friendly helpful and accommodating. Food was enjoyed by all and was substantial...one of us required a 'doggy bag' so that he could finish his meal later!! Quality of the food was good and well presented. Even the dog that came with us was looked after.

Called in for lunch while out walking. Saw sign off main road but it is not signed closer, thanks to the local postman we found it.

Visited this weekend from London in a large group. I couldn't spot anything vegan on the menu, so I called a few days ahead to ask if they could accommodate me. They said yes, no problem, and when we arrived, not only had they remembered the conversation, but they had a hand written menu for me detailing the options they could do. I had the mozarella stack with vegan cheese and it was absolutely delicious! The rest of the group thoroughly enjoyed their food too. Thank you!

We had a family get together for Sunday lunch today at the King's Arms. It's been a while since our last visit, and we were not disappointed to come back. We all really enjoyed the great food, service and atmosphere today. The staff were superb, and no doubt take their lead from the indefatigable landlord, Barney, whose skills in the kitchen were enjoyed by us all. Thanks Kings Arms for a great experience today.

We were walking the Kennet and Avon canal and diverted through this very pretty village for lunch.

As ever the service was friendly and efficient in this charming buzzy pub frequented by locals and those that come from further afield. We both had the roast beef and the meal was superb. The vegetables were freshly cooked as where the properly roast potatoes. Most pubs do a roast very very few get to this quality. A must visit.

We were walking the Kennett & Avon Canal and decided to go into All Cannings to find the Kings Arms - well worth the diversion - friendly staff with good food and s good range of beers. Genuine local pub with character and another Certified Location (Caravan) to try when next in the area. Sure things would be a bit more hectic when they had one of their music festivals.

Rude people, self-centred, unwelcoming, food was cold, staff had PHD's in swearing.

This is my local pub, has been since I moved here, and I am in there every week for a drink, but I think this was the first time I went for dinner. Their main dishes from the blackboard, offered plenty of choices, and 3 of us agreed that their cod with chorizo was delicious. The beef pie also hit the spot. The menu changes frequently, and includes pub staples from local farms, such as beef, sausages, gammon and so on, as well as fish and chips, so all tastes are covered. The pub itself is a warm and friendly local spot, with open fires in winter, and a clientele mainly from the village and surrounds, though proximity to the Kennet and Avon canal means that narrowboaters also pop in, along with Devizes folk and some out of towners. The pub also has a garden and small field behind for the few days in summer when you can sit outside in England, and actually enjoy it. This is a classic village pub - everything you could want really, and my only misgiving about writing this is that it may encourage too many other people to try it out, and perhaps crowd me out!

A group of us from our classic car club met for lunch on Saturday at the Kings Arms and it was lovely. We sat across three tables up on the raised seating area with the nice view over the bar, and the smell of wood smoke was lovely. The steak and ale top crust pie was very nice, as were the locally sourced sausages on creamed mash potatoes and good looking vegetables! The pub is situated on a quiet Country lane in a peaceful village, plenty of room for parking. The staff were very nice too. It's a dog friendly pub which all adds to a nice atmosphere.

Walking the Kennet and Avon Canal had us reach All Cannings on lunchtime so the Kings Arms it had to be. This place is a genuine local. We had a very friendly greeting, were promptly served our (much needed) beers and retired to a table to peruse the menu. I had expected to have to order at the bar but lo and behold a young lady quickly arrived at our table to take our order. We were only there for a snack (more walking to be done in the afternoon) but various differently filled ciabatta rolls went down very well and we were given a cheery "Goodbye" on the way out.

What a terrific pub - warm, welcoming, good atmosphere, well-kept beer and excellent food. Clearly the Kings Arms is the focus for most of the life in the village. We saw plenty of evidence, with music events, a drive-in cinema, sports activities - it was all going on.

We happened in on this pub during while doing the Kennet and Avon canal. We stopped near there for our first night and after walking into the village, we were welcomed like long lost relatives. It was warm and inviting and we first had some lovely beers from the selection. Dinner was great for all four of us. On our return along the canal, we stopped in again. It was just lovely. An added benefit if that they have very reliable wifi.

We were visiting the Long Barrow, where my parents ashes will be interred. Afterwards, we came to the Kings Arms in All Cannings and, as soon as you walk in, the place has the most amazing smell of burning wood, old polish and good food.

We popped in for a Sunday Roast mid-way through a 60kn cycle along the Kennet. We had a couple of beers (full Wadworth's range available) and roast meal.

We visited on a Monday night and to say the night was a massive success is an understatement. The staff from the owner, the barman James to the the waitress Ella, this has to be one of the best experiences ever as a group. Thankyou...

We may just be lucky to live in the village, but this must be the best local pub anyone could...

Great Atmosphere, Great Pub, Friendly staff, Good selections of beers. Steak was fantastic as were our other meals, I had...

Lovely old pub, friendly staff. We had roast beef & it was beautiful. At £31.50 for two, it was more expensive than a lot of places but it was well worth it. Plenty of beef & a good amount of veg which came on the plate & not in a tiny dish like other places. Huge Yorkshire puds & the gravy was delicious. Would definitely recommend & we'll be returning for sure.

Classy food in lovely relaxed atmosphereGenuinely friendly staffGood real ale selection well kept. Near to Wiltshire cycle path - they even helped to fix my bike.Very highly recommended

Wadworth Pub. Visited as group and arrived late but got great welcome. All staff very friendly and helpful even got out OS map to show us the best route. There was 7 of us and everyone enjoyed their meal saying the place was a gem and they would go back. I had sausages and mash - Good plateful 2 large tasty sausages on bed of mash with gravy - Would have it again! The vegetarians in the group enjoyed the vegetarian rissotto. The Venison burger was good and came with sweet potato chips.

Like many others on this review we were on a narrow boat on the Kennet and Avon canal. We booked ahead and even though 15 mins late received a warm welcome. Of the 10 of us 4 were under drinking age but all were well catered for. Thatchers Gold went down well as did a selection of ales. Food first class. Even burger was imaginative. My wife said her chicken and tarragon pie was best she had had for quite a while. A welcoming pub well placed for the canal visitor.

The fish was terrible and uncooked and cold the peas were cold would not recommend visiting here and what more can I say

This place was recommended to us on our first night of a canal boat vacation and was good enough to revisit on our way back. The food is excellent and the pub (A Wadworth brewery pub) has a good range of offerings. I particularly like the Corvus stout with a mild coffee flavor. My wife and daughter liked the Bulmers 17 cider and my son the Thatchers Gold.All the food was terrific from appetizer to desert and the staff very friendly. We arrived on our first visit very late, but they kept the kitchen open for us which was greatly appreciated.

Used this pretty village pub while moored on the Kennett and Avon.Welcoming staff, friendly clientele. Simple menu cooked fresh with ample helpings. Wish it was my local. Wheelchair Accessible

We were on a Kennet and Avon Canal holiday and moored for the night in this delightful village. Rang beforehand to check on disabled access as one of our party of 4 was in a wheelchair. Warm welcome and help with ramp ensured easy entry and there was a good disabled toilet (outside). Good beer and very good food. A very nice evening thank you.

The Kings Arms at All Cannings is a lovely looking pub in a quaint English Village. Well worth a visit with a good selection of Wadsworth beers. Check the opening hours as it does closed in the afternoon. We missed the lunch time session so returned at opening time 7pm for a drink and our evening meal. I will cut to the chase on this pub it was very nice but a cool welcome and the service was appalling. There were only 14 covers over five tables and the service started well but deteriorated into awful. The young lady who started to serve us disappeared and we were left abandoned. The gent on the next table gave up waiting and went to the bar himself as his table was a desert. The prices were high for pub grub and we expect more. Having checked out the interesting photos of visiting mature POP Stars for the annual charity concert I left feeling disappointed with our visit.

We have been to this pub a few times over the course of several years . It has been nice in the past but the last couple of times there have been obvious problems in the kitchen . The first time was a Sunday lunch which took well over an hour after ordering to be served but when it eventually came the food itself was good . This review pertains more to the second time we had a bad experience at this pub. We ordered starters and a main course . The starters were served quite quickly but then there was nearly an hours wait for the main course by which time it was starting to get late in the evening . When the main course came the food was on the cold side of lukewarm and the portions were tiny . What made it worse was no communication from the staff about the delay and only the offer of a ten pound voucher off our next meal after we complained about the food being cold . We refused the voucher because why would anyone want to repeat such a bad experience of eating out .

We really enjoyed our meal at the Kings Arms. The food was great and I think the service was the friendliest we had on our holiday

On a cold Thursday afternoon with 15 minutes to closing we walked into the friendliest pub I've found in a long time.The brilliant barmaid Ella was helpful and informative, friendly and engaging. Ella should be the standard all bar staff, actually anyone facing the public, aim to to emulate. She was staying on to wait for a regular to get his bus so let us finish our drinks in peace but also booked us a table for that evening.On our return we walked into a warm welcome and a happy crowd at the bar. If they'd been any happier you'd wonder if you'd walked into a setup. A couple of games of pool loosened us up for dinner so we were seated comfortably near the fire.The food for all of us was top class. I've paid more in "better places" and been disappointed (as you may have read). The steak is one of the best I've had and perfectly cooked, blue, with kicking mustard and fab fries. The crispy beef starter is definitely something I've never found in this way before and I'll be messaging the pub for the recipe.To call this place dog friendly would be an understatement. Our friends dog would live here. Oh and they have a music festival each year with big stage names attracting 5000 people in a tiny village.Close to the canal, good beer, great sign by the pool table and fabulous atmosphere. An ace place.

Great local pub on our doorstep.Made me a burger to takeaway last night.I have to say without a doubt one of the nicest burgers I've ever had.Thank you very much.

We ate here on a Saturday evening on a glorious weekend when the pub had been busy all day. Took a long time to be attended to at the bar and if we hadn't booked we might have gone off in search of something else! Several specials were already sold out leaving a fairly restricted menu. What we had - fish and chips and pie and chips - were OK but unremarkable. Fine but not a memorable meal.

Stopped off for lunch. Good menu. Chose ham, egg and chips, it was lovely. This is a traditional English pub, full of charm and character. Friendly staff. Take a walk around this lovely village, local people were charming and it has an excellent village shop. The church is also very interesting with loads of history. All in all a great place to visit, lovely and quiet.

Love the feel of this place. The crispy beef starter was divine but the terrine was a little plain and the butter that came with it was rock hard. I would definitely visit again and try some other dishes.

We had lunch break here on our walk, the welcome was great, very friendly and professional.The log fire was lovely, the beer very good and the food just yummy. I would definitely recommend this pub.

I have eaten here many times and it NEVER disappoints.The menu is very varied and imaginative, the cooking skilled, the prices keen, the landlord a lovely man, the atmosphere has the best of British country pubs and the beers and wines are first rate.As examples, they cooked my delicious fresh fish exactly as I wanted it (no batter) with my own choice of crisply fresh vegetables, perfectly cooked, followed by the refreshingly unique flavour of a mango and apple sorbet sourced from Somerset.An utterly wonderful experience all round.And it stays wonderful for every visit.Because All Cannings is hidden away near Devizes you can almost always rely on getting a table here. But the postcode will get you there easily.In a bigger place it would be booked out for years ahead! 5 STARS ARE NOT ENOUGH TO SING ITS PRAISES!!!

We've eaten there a number of times and have had an excellent experience every time. Good food, beer, wine and always friendly and efficient service. Pub is off the through road so good for small ones. Excellent cycle stop off and has footpaths which don't require you to expose your dogs to traffic. Friendly and efficient landlord and staff. Will go again. Close to an excellent Paragliding spot which is good for southerly winds. I've seen the occasional caravan and tent in the fields round the back so assume that this may be an option - worth asking.
