Great little pub!! Worth a visit. Friendly staff and lovely and cozy. I bet it's nice in winter when it's cold out and you can sit by the fire with a nice a few drinks. Guinness is good too. Will definitely return. We didn't eat here and it didn't seem obvious they did food, we might have missed it or they may have stopped serving. Ideal pub for a nice quiet drink 👍

Despite there being no-one in the pub on arrival (12:30 on a Thursday) we put our faith in the online Google reviews. So glad we did. We both had scampi & chips which came quickly and was a generous portion, beautifully presented with peas a salad garnish. Only down side was that there was no vinegar & the plates were very cold. (Food was very hot though) Highly recommended.

Brilliant pub just off the market square in Saffron Walden. Excellent place to check out some proper live music at the weekend. Superbly kept real ales that have been recognised by CAMRA and Cask Marque for many years. A roaring fire greets you in the winter months. I haven't eaten here before as I don't visit during food service times, but I thoroughly enjoy and recommend this town treasure.

The Kings Arms is the best pub in Saffron Walden. Beautiful historic building on Market Hill. Landlord Ashley along with Page will make you feel so welcome. On a chilly day or evening you can enjoy two fireplaces. The bar food is also delicious along with the wonderful selection of hand pulled beers!

Really enjoyed a leisurely lunchtime visit to this old Saffron Walden pub. It wasn't busy when we were there but it must be a popular place judging from the excellent range of beers and pub grub menu. I had a half pounder burger 🍔 which was so delicious that I sent my congratulations to the chef for producing the best burger that I remember eating! Well worth a visit and located just off the market place.

To be clear, this is the type of pub that this country is famous for. Great real ales and premium lagers enough wines to meet most requirements. The lunchtime food is what I want from a pub, honest and hearty and won't leave you hungry. When my wife and I first moved to this town we found the pub regulars were very welcoming and always more than willing to join you in the big debate of the day. Ash looks after his customers and beer with equal aplomb.

A little boozer just off the market square. It's quite small, so feels busy even when there's not all that many punters in. The burgers were decent enough, and there's a good selection of drinks. Bar staff seemed a bit confused, but service was ok. We didn't try the beer garden on account of the weather, but it's great that they have one! Don't expect the Ritz but it's not a bad old pub at all.

This is a pub. They do food during the day. And a pub the other times. That isn't a derogatory remark. The landlord, I assume, Ash, may seem odd, but is purely watching his bar as a landlord should. It is a diverse place where you get locals drinking, a book club that Ash caters for and just a friendly traditional pub. If only there were more of these. Well done.

Well worth updating my review for 2022 as Ashley now offering the warm and friendly service I always wanted here. A good selection of ales with well managed and prompt bar service. Always seems to be somewhere to sit (with a decent outdoor area in good weather). Better decorated than it once was and slowly becoming the proper, central, Saffron Walden public house you expect from a medieval market town.

Lovely pub, only pop in occasionally lunch times when I’m in the area and it’s just got a proper friendly quiet pub feel. Ales always superb, sat there once with a fantastic pint from the Tring Brewery I think it was, just me and another fella there both reading and just the sound of the clock ticking away in the background. That day was over 10 years ago but it still one of the most memorable pints I’ve had lol. Great place....

I like this old coaching Inn. It oozes character and is quintessentially an old English pub. I stayed in one of the original upstairs rooms facing the busy A120 just a few metres away. It was a warm night and the windows needed to be open. Fortunately I am a good sleeper as the traffic roaring past at all hours is like a motorway and excessively load. They have recently added some very nice, modern, ground floor apartments to the side of the Inn. Hopefully I'll get one of these when next I stay. Great food, excellent cider from the bar and a delicious breakfast. Friendly people who own it and man the bar.

In terms of alcohol, there are some great bitters; that's my preference so I don't know about the rest of the alcohol selection. Traditional decor, cosy, great place all around

I’ve been in the Kings Arms several times over the last few years, and have restrained myself from reviewing it previously because I didn’t really have anything good to say and other people seem to like it. But it’s time! From the outside the pub looks quite promising. It’s just off the market square, so very central in town. Ideal for a quick drink or lunch? Let’s go inside.... First thing that hits you is the smell of stale beer, like it’s been spilt on the carpet. The furniture looks like it’s come from eight different pubs. The whole place doesn’t look like it’s had a clean in years. The bar staff seem surprised when you ask for a drink. It’s not terrible, but it’s just a real let down compared to the OEG or the 8 Bells. I’m guessing that the food must be ok, otherwise the reviews here are utterly baffling

We stopped in to the Kings Arms on a Sunday afternoon because we thought it looked nice from the outside. When we got on the inside we realised we were right! The staff were very welcoming and I had a delicious pint of Lancaster Bomber beer in a fabulous looking glass which I commended to the landlord Ashley. Definite recommend stopping in here for a drink if you get the chance.

Came for the music night with 2 other friends, and bought us a round of drinks. We were having a great time up until I returned to the bar to bring my glasses back only to be pulled aside and shouted at by the lady who owned it saying that 'you need to leave right now if you aren't even going to bother buying drinks in my pub'. After explaining I'd just bought a round of drinks only half an hour ago, she continued by saying that I was lying because my hands were 'bloody empty'and that she would kick me out if I didn't buy something else that second. I'm absolutely appalled by the way I was spoken to, and it completely ruined what had been a very enjoyable night - there are much more pleasant pubs in town, DO NOT GO HERE.

From the outside this appeared to be a very ordinary town pub and, indeed, in many ways, it was. However, the service was good, the food was good, and the bill was very reasonable. We had to move tables because the one we sat at was very sticky. Our host tried to clean it but rather unsuccessfully! The new table was fine! My wife's requirement for gluten-free food was understood and carefully checked. This was not exactly a "fine dining" experience, but, if you want a decent pub meal at a good price, this place is as good as any.

Visited The Kings Arms yesterday for a lunch after a five mile walk around the lovely historic town of Saffron Walden and Audley end park. There were fourteen of us in our rambling group and they managed to fit us all in to the back dining room. Ashly and his team looked after us very well, the food is reasonably priced, varied traditional pub grub with also some roasts on offer as it was a Sunday. This is a old style traditional pub popular with local drinkers, diners and the many tourists that visit the area. They also at times host local bands playing live music.
