The Kings Arms - Rotherfield in Wealden

Food was great. A lovely lay out. Got a lovely country feel about the pub. Fires going. We were a table of 10 everything came out all together all hot all perfectly cooked was very impressed.

Fabulous pre Christmas get together with the family, warm and welcoming pub. We all had starters and mains and everything was delicious. Roast beef fabulous. Thank you so much!

Good beer ,lovely staff welcome atmosphere what more does one need form a boozer? Landlord and lady are welcoming true publicans that have a real passion for the service they provide

This was one of the best autumnal meals I’ve had. The pigs were their own and happy as can be. The sausages and pork roasts are second to none. I had sausage and mash, it was served with leeks, red cabbage, carrots and a beautiful...

The burger is gorgeous! Thick, chunky, tasty...the relish, home made and full of flavour....super tasty, chunky coleslaw and amazing triple fryed chips..

We went to the kings arms this evening and didn’t have a good experience. We ordered some drinks which turned out to be flat lemonade so not a great start, after this we got our food which got delivered to the wrong table, when they...

Sorry to say meal standard not good sirloin meal not of great standard sirloin no flavour best part was potatoes needs to talk with Meat supplier sort will not go back as in food trade myself now good meat Pizza ok

Chris, Antonio & The Kings Arms staff Hosted our wedding celebration. They completely nailed it for us, from drinks on arrival, superb food, attentive staff to whom nothing was too much trouble, to even arranging the sun to come out just when our photographer needed...

Went here with family for lunch and we all decided on the sardines! A great choice, fresh and delicious! Drinks were also great and at a reasonable price . Staff were very nice too, we will be back! Thank you

We enjoyed the quiet garden and the shade and sipped dry cider and elderflower cordial seved by cheerful bar attendants

Lovely old pub with huge garden. Food extremely disappointing. Ordered chicken Caesar and when we apologetically suggested we’d misordered when a tiny green salad arrived we were told by lady manager that it didn’t come with chicken and we must have misread ‘croutons’ for ‘chicken’-...

First time we have eaten at the pub and it won’t be the last. Superb roast beef with vegetables and Yorkshire pudding. Enormous portions and all of it cooked perfectly. Extremely friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. Drinks good too. I thoroughly recommend.

Lovely relaxed, friendly relaxed atmosphere, menu choice varied. To the point I couldn't decide what to have......husband and I had wonderfully fresh caprese salad, amazing king prawns, the tastiest lambs liver, and although we didn't need it, an amazing shortbread dessert.

Worth the wait. Great food and drink, attentive staff and a large garden. Covid Safe environment. Thank you

Excellent and COVID safe 6 of us went to the Kings Arms this week and the whole experience was first class. I was slightly apprehensive as this was my first time taking my elderly parents out since the pubs have reopened. Straight away I relaxed...

My, my wife and two children went to to pub today. Very friendly staff and fantastic food and drink. The children loved the outside space that this pub offers, from there veg patch to the lovely chickens. There is also an apple orchard witch the...

We get take away pizzas from the Kings Arms on Fridays as a treat and they are outstanding! It’s just like being in Italy, great thin crust and generous toppings.

A great winter set up for the rule of six with an outside marquee that has a pizza oven to provide warmth. Great idea and well done all round. Service was great, although being well removed from inside meant having to take your chances on...

Wow, what an amazing dinner we had last night. Such a tonic after a grim 4 weeks of lockdown. We had chicken and black pudding and pork belly -presentation and taste exquisite. Service good too and all in front of a cozy roaring fire. Highly...

Amazing! Take home to heat at your leisure, pie, pastry, gorgeous, veg and mash, spot on, well seasoned, fresh crunch.... Such a treat, better than homemade!

My partner & I stopped in here whilst out for a Sunday walk. Nice open fire & atmosphere. Friendly staff with Covid sorted. Great vegetarian pie & soup!

We had a fantastic meal today. We went for a roast a bit later on in the day, from experience at other places, the roast doesn’t tend to be as fresh at the end of the day, but all of our food tasted really fresh,...

My two daughters and I decided to pop in and partake of the moules night tonight. We all opted for the Thai mussels and chips £10 each - they were absolutely fab as was the service . Two really lovely guys served us and we...

New to the area and this is my local. I live a nice pub and this is one of the best! Good food, good beer, great food and great service! A nice atmosphere and nothing is too much trouble. Would highly recommend :)

Took my family out for a bite to eat at lunchtime. Arrived at 1.05pm, notice said we would get table service, after 20 minutes of being ignored went to the outside bar to ask for a drink and were told someone would come over. Watched...

Cheerful staff, serving freshly made tapas food - hot and cold at good prices. Lunch for two with drinhs and icecreams £30 . Nice views. No advance information on website which is a pity; it is worth a detour

We have just spent a beautiful afternoon with laid back music the summer sunshine and the most succulent chicken souvlaki,greek salad and tzatziki. The standard of cleanliness is spot on. Chris and Antonia and all the staff are working incredibly hard to maintain the health...

Came to this lovely family run pub after I finished work for some drinks with friends. The aesthetic within the pub is just as fantastic as the exterior! Only had the chance to try the extensive drinks range in this pub but have heard so...

My friend and I had another excellent meal at the Kings Arms. We had a roast dinner each. The beef was tender, potatoes crisp and a very good selection of vegetables. I had another excellent lunch after a walk on a Saturday recently which was...

I've visited quite a few times as I have family nearby. It's always welcoming and serves good pub grub but could do with a bit more attention to detail to make it a destination in its own right.

I rang and booked a table on Saturday afternoon for two people on Sunday at lunchtime. Very friendly guy booked our table just took a telephone number. Turned up on Sunday lunchtime a table was booked and reserved for us, beautifully laid. I wanted another...

I took my wife and family there for a last minuet bite to eat on Sunday, the pub is a lovely old building in the beutifull village of Rotherfield. They serve a good selectrion of bears with an excellent pint of Harveys. If I were...

We were in a party recently eating /drinking at the kings arms. My husband was shocked to see the person serving a dish of French fries rearrange them in a dish with his hands. Also a young lady rearranged the breads a bit later with...

Super tasty Sunday lunch: mixed roast for him, nut roast for her. Generous portions, perfectly cooked veg and mulled cider to wash it down. Super hosting from Antonia and super cheffing in the kitchen from Chris - the dynamic duo of the Kings Arms.

This is a fantastic pub. The customer service is amazing and there is a really good choice of different ales and also lagers. The food is very good indeed. It is a really cosy and friendly pub and is definately family friendly. We visited last...

Went for lunch had the belly of pork the wife had chicken have to say cooked nicely and go portions price good would go back

Fantastic food. Other options available. Beautiful stone baked pizza ( that wasn’t really an option( but it was when asked)) The moules were prefect and are highly recommended . Great food. Great staff. Perfect location. Beautiful views and grounds. Dog friendly... Who could ask for...

Came here with a big group of people, the service was brilliant, food was delicious, very reasonably priced, and the owner helped us out massively when the local taxi services were completely booked up leaving us stranded! Can not recommend highly enough!

Lovely unspoilt traditional interior, very reasonably priced, delicious food and great local beer. Exceptionally friendly staff who really went 'the extra mile' to help and accommodate us. We all left with a warm glow and if we lived closer we'd be back there regularly.

£12 for two pieces of cheese,3 tiny crusts of bread, 2 teaspoons of chutney, a mouthful of salad and a pickled onion. Had to ask for more bread, but still left as hungry as I'd arrived, but £12 poorer.

Nice pub.. food is good.. beer kept well.. massive and attractive beer garden with nice views.. often has live music and a Sunday evening pub quiz

We stayed local to the pub at a friends place and been advised to pop into this pub for food and drinks. Upon arrival we were greeted by 2 friendly members of staff and I'm assuming the landlady whom was very friendly too. we ordered...

The best chicken I’ve ever had, new on the menu and OMG. Really outstanding. Beautiful people, beautiful surroundings and best food around.

Visited with my mother in law. Management are very accommodating to our needs, also very welcoming. I had a chicken stuffed with cream cheese and she had the sea bass. And wow what flavour, the presentation was amazing as well. Great service and very friendly....

It was a lovely day and had been out walking, we saw that there was a barbecue. We we in a small queue waiting to be served. The person in front of us had a burger and selection of sides to accompany the meal. Then...

Relocated to Rotherfield back in November 2018, been here on a few occasions and every time I have witnessed locals doing drugs Disputes signs in the loos! I have refrained from bringing my family back here now since my most recent visit for a business meeting the smell of cannabis on punters, and not being able to use the urinals without listening to some chap sniffing what I can only believe to be cocaine, has made me so disappointed that I will never step foot in there again! Seriously disgusting and badly managed!

We visited for dinner this evening and felt compelled to write a review. My husband had beef short ribs, having had these prepared for us by our daughter and enjoying them immensely Ihe thought he would have them. When the dish arrived it was quite...

Food always of a good standard at this very pleasant pub. Friendly staff, served with a smile and served fairly quickly too considering there were 18 of us.

Called in for a lunchtime bite on a circular 14 mile walk out from wadhurst station. Arrived just before 1.30pm. Lots of people in which was a good sign but as the pub is very big with several bar areas it was no problem. As...

When non-chain pubs offer a menu, they often offer something so different that there is nothing attractive on it. Good news! At the Kings we were treated to well cooked, tasty food that was appealing and I look forward to going back for more. As...

Busy and nice pub. Excellent Sunday roast. Happy to recommend the lamb. Gluten free options not mentioned on the menu but the staff guide you thru the options. Will definitely come back another Sunday.

Visited last week with another couple - had a fabulous meal in this lovely olde-worlde pub. Fab food, good service and a lovely friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be visiting again! The slow roasted belly pork “was melt- in-the-mouth !

Ate with group after walking. Good food, interesting historical pub, large parking area, overlooks Rotherfield's Milennium Green. Reasonable prices and some craft beers.

The kings Arms does not look that brilliant from the outside of the building but the food and service is always very good.

Another amazing visit to the kings arms for a Sunday roast. Food was amazing and the service was great. Very welcoming and accommodating. Perfect country pub, log fires going so warm and cosy. Cannot fault this venue at all :-)

Really impressed after visiting recently for a Christmas Party. 10/10 all round with great food, drinks and service. Will definitely be back again.

Came in for a quick lunch. Food was great and staff was helpful. Pub looks excellent. Not done up too much, leaving plenty of old classic features. Hoping this will become my new local.

I booked the Kings Arms for my mums 65th birthday and was not disappointed. The pub is a lovely setting and as there were 13 of us we had a small area to ourselves which made it feel very intimate. The food was really tasty and came out warm, quite a few of us had the scallops as a starter and all enjoyed them and said they were well cooked and our mains were great too. The waitress who I believe was called Sue was really efficient and very friendly taking the orders quickly and making sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this pub to my friends and family.

It was brilliant one of the best Fish and Chips I have had in years and years. On the whole the place was just brilliant, all the dishes we saw go past were great, staff chatty, knew their beer and wine. Even was able to talk about the new Gin's you can get. Personally I would strongly suggest you go try it.

We had Sunday Lunch here on a lovely day when a lot of people were our and about, and there was no free table in the restaurant section. But we were well served in the bar and had all we needed. The barman was efficient and friendly and the food was good pub standard.

Yo vivo localmente y han pasado por unas cuantas veces para este pub pero fue después de un evento que asistí recientemente me di cuenta de lo mucho que este lugar tiene la oferta. El personal es simplemente increíble. Tan servicial y va bien por ayudar. Comida recién preparada con animales que a los niños les encanta visitar. Bien hecho a reyes.

Went to the Kings Arms for Sunday lunch, and had an excellent meal. The roast beef was succulent, nice Yorkshire pudding and crunchy roast potatoes. A lovely setting with pigs and chickens in the garden. Well worth a visit.

A meeting with friends nice friendly staff that are happy to help. We all had the burger that was very nice puddings the crumble looked tasty the brownie was very rich for me. I will re visit.

Lovely pub but let down by the staff. Came with a few friends to enjoy the extended gin collection. However when it takes 20mins per drink each, a conversation is pretty difficult. The girl behind the bar had no idea about the gins or accompaniments.

Este pub tiene vigas y antiguo y una gran moda interiores jardín con unas vistas encantadoras de la High Weald. La comida está muy bien presentada, pero no de lujo. Los precios son muy inconsistente, plowman es ser £12, salmón ahumado 6.50 libras y pastel de pescado sobre el mismo. Servicio amable. Bebidas no es barato (de nuevo) en la temperatura derecha. La atracción principal ha de ser el precioso jardín con sombrillas y mesas. Es el discurso de la informalidad.

Almorzamos durante un ciclo de 60 milla así que necesitábamos para refrescarnos y rehydrate. Por desgracia, no probamos la rubia, pero tenía pintas de Lima y soda, junto con dos sándwiches de pollo y una porción de patatas fritas de camote... no el trabajo. Las bebidas eran alrededor de £1.50 cada uno y los bocadillos eran unos £7.50 ea. El jardín es estupendo, con un montón de asientos, aunque los muebles de madera es pudriéndose distancia mayores y tienen wifi.

Cena con dos amigos el lunes 8º de agosto - no es necesario reservar.

We have had a few visits to this pub lately and it is a delight. Lovely staff and a great atmosphere. Lovely gin menu and the food is excellent. Highly recommended.

El personal y los dueños hicieron conocer a nosotros mismos y parecía realmente ansioso por complacer. El menú aquí es más amplia que otros, pero todos todavía localmente recién cocinada. Fabulosa selección de carne, pescado y vegetarianos. Gran servicio, aunque había una obra en el jardín del pub. Quedé muy impresionado con la lubina, con una mezcla de arroz y ensalada interesante, colorido y sabroso. Panceta de cerdo era de un tamaño decente y delicioso. El único inconveniente era que no había pudin pero muchas otras opciones que se ofrecen. Ofrecen un club de vinos y club de Ginebra, que bimestral sin duda vamos a volver. Se propusieron este pub en favor de otros, pero ahora es un claro favorito.

Primero los aspectos positivos. Es un pub encantador con mucha personalidad dentro, un bonito jardín, y una tienda de granja en el lugar, y podría ser un lugar encantador para tomar una copa.

The food is always of a high standard Service is good (now Tony's gone!) They have some cracking wine and beers Warm friendly atmosphere, nice fire place Home grown local food

Cuando un favorito de la zona. Precioso lugar como del viejo mundo, todos olde vigas y inglenooks, ubicado en la localidad de preciosa. Fácil de aparcar. Servicio amable, agradable, una buena elección de rango medio a opciones caro en el menú. Un buen café. Tienda de venta de granja también práctico productos locales.

Fuimos a cenar con amigos y nunca nos ha decepcionado cuando visitemos los brazos de reyes. La comida es excelente y el servicio es excelente. Tienen una lista de vinos que satisface a todos los gustos.

Excellent owners and staff serving 2 (small) courses for £10. If there's 2 of you share a starter, share a pud. "Simples". Sunday lunches served all day with good quality meat together with excellent Harvey's beer. What could be better.

We booked 18 people for Sunday lunch after a 7 mile walk. It was a cold day and a muddy walk but we were welcomed with a roaring fire and friendly smiles. Food was tasty and hot and very much appreciated. We will be back as individuals and bring other friends.

We have been visiting the Kings Arms over many years with varying results. However, under the new owners this pub/ restaurant is now producing superb meals and this is now our second visit in as many weeks. The service is excellent, and last night we had a lovely evening there with friends. Really worth a visit.

Went here for a Saturday evening meal and was very impressed with the quality of the food and the exceptional service. Will definitely go again when wanting somewhere special to go

Lovely food, friendly staff and a brilliant layout of the pub itself. The locals are welcoming and provide a happy atmosphere. A brilliant selection of gins as well as tonics too!!

We have lived in the village for years and the kings arms has always had the potential but never delivered. Thankfully this has now changed serving up good food in a lovely traditional pub setting. I can definitely recommend the Sunday roast which comes with the seemingly elusive crispy roast potatoes. The regular menu provides a good variety of choices all cooked to a good standard and there is a good choice of ales on tap.

Came here to celebrate mothers day , 6 of us. We were greeted by the manager who was charming. Drinks order was taken and was with us within 5 minutes, was great. Menu looked great, was a range of different roasts to choose from. Ordered garlic bread for starter and All ordered roasts except 1 who ordered steak burger - waiter was fantastic and was able to adapt the burger to suit tastes! Starters arrived within 15 minutes, but then waited just under an hour for mains but was no bother as the atmosphere and staff were fantastic. It was clear our waiter was extremely busy, but what was good to see was the manager stepping in to help out. When food arrived it looked great. The general consensus was that the roast dinners were overly salty but still delicious. I myself was disappointed in the steak burger it was extremely bland and flavourless :( Overall had a fantastic visit due to our waiter and the manager (gentleman in blue shirt). Thank you very much, we will see you again soon

This was a last minute booking. We had heared many good reports of the food and atmosphere of the pub. We were not disappointed as far as the main meal was concerned. Roast pork and shank of lamb were our choices. Both served with excellent and generous vegetables. Unfortunately the ice creams served for Sweet were not acceptable. They were icy and had obviously been left out at some stage and refrozen. There was no trouble or embarrassment in returning the ice creams and no charge was made hence have only docked one star from the rating.

We were a party of six cousins and spouses - all seniors - on a rare meeting for Saturday lunch in what was for all of us a completely geographically mutually convenient town, and booked here following a personal recommendation. Glad we did. The email booking was handled well. Big car park, and a proper pub welcome. Between us we had four different main courses, lamb shanks, duck, chicken and sea bass fillet. All arrived together, all perfectly cooked and appetisingly presented in man-size portions on pre-heated plates. Particularly liked the attentiveness of staff in ensuring that everyone was happy and all was well. Wines were good at the price and desserts were also well-received. Well done The King's Arms. Definitely be returning.

A pleasant village pub, staff were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable from the outset. We booked but asked to move tables. No problem. We both ordered the beef, my partner water hers pink and bloody, I wanted mine no pink, no bloody. Both meals delivered within ten minutes, beef exactly as we asked. A decent Sunday lunch, with as much care and attention as you'd give it in your own kitchen (by which I mean 'a lot' - often Sunday lunch prepared in a pub feels like it came off a conveyor belt). And also a lot of it - our plates were piled high.Extra points for perfect roast potatoes, stuffing and cauliflower cheese. Yorkshire pudding was slightly dry but maybe that's because I left it until last. We paid £13 each plus drinks, which seemed like a bargain. We'll be back.

Had a perfectly cooked sirloin steak here. Nothing fancy, just good quality meat, some mushrooms and excellent chips, washed down with a couple of pints of Harvey's best. What's not to like?

Bern here twice for the superb two course lunch for a tenner.Food is delicious, staff brilliant and there is a lovely fireHighly Recommended!

In last couple of weeks we have had two nice lunches here. All the food was tasty and the team all had a smile on their faces. Worth giving the pub a try.

Friendly staff, great food, only problem is if people are at the bar there is very little room to move. It would be helpful if locals were asked to drink at the front bar when the restaurant and eating areas are busy.

Wow what a great pub that serves a great Carvary Many choices to have very quaint pub located in a picturesque area of east sussex

Came here quite late because I was in Crowborough and hungry! I had the Scallops, followed by the Duck Breast and then the Chocolate Brownie (which I only had because the Banoffee Pie hadn't set) and all are absolutely amazing! Perfectly cooked, and tasted excellent! I work in a pub, and I can quite honestly say The King's Arms puts our food to shame! Very friendly attentive staff, also.Would highly recommend!

Having been on a long walk around Rotherfield we called in to the Kings arms for some much needed food and drink. We were treated to some of the best fish and chips we've ever had. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. Good atmosphere and reasonably priced for the area. The burger was also worthy of a mention. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu!

Nice and old fashioned like a good pub should be, clean and friendly and serving a nice range of pub food of a very good quality.

We are so lucky to have this pub close by, it is a real gem in the Sussex countryside. It is situated in the centre of Rotherfield Village near to the town of Crowborough. Ignore any reference to Wadhurst as this is incorrect.The food is excellent and the choice is good but it can be a little restrictive if you are a pescetarian or a vegetarian and visit on a regular basis.The staff are all excellent, friendly and efficient, it is dog friendly and has a nice garden for the summer months.There is a great farm shop within the car park and this is well worth a visit on its own.Give it a try you will not be disappointed.

A pub with great atmosphere, and a good choice of food, well cooked and with generous portions. Would certainly go again when in the area.

Located in the middle of Rotherfield, it is a characteristically English pup.The inside has a large bar which is divided into two sections with the dining area in one level, and the bar at the end.I went there for the first time for a few drinks on 18/11/15, and found the staff to be very polite, attentive, and friendly.The place has a nice relaxing atmosphere.

This is a plea to the chef to only serve up the venison cottage pie to people either with no teeth, convicts or to meals on wheels! I didn't need to use a knife during any point of this meal, every mouthful tasted the same, the presentation was not good and you killed the wonderful flavour of venison (I thought i was eating beef), It had no substance and by the time I got home as I was hungry again. My husband had the pork belly which he said was very chewy. Our other two guests thought their food was Ok and we all thought the deserts were nice. The staff were lovely and the atmosphere was good. I would still probably go back but not for an evening meal but for a pub lunch. Hopefully mine was just a one off as they must be doing something right as the pub was full.

I had great expectations for lunch having been greeted by our waiter who said the home reared roast pork was wonderful and highly recommended. The reality was a very average meal, pork had little taste and had a very heavy beef gravy,but the ultimate sin was that the roast pork did not come with crackling.The speed of service was very fast, no sooner had we finished our main then we were given the dessert menu, and it then arrived with lightening speed, along with more drinks, one of which was spilt over one of our party and our table without so much as an apology.Unfortunately there were 2 young boys who were running through the restaurant and around the bar, over and over again.The ales and cider were well kept but they served the worst G&T I have ever had, no lemon or lime, ice that melted before it arrived and awash with flat tonic, customers like to add tonic to taste.Will not recommend or return, shame because this could so easily have been better.

Visited 8/11 with husband, daughter and granddaughter. I can honestly say this was the best roast dinner ever! All the produce was absolutely delicious. A little bit more expensive compared to some other places, but it was a really good meal

We visited the KA a few times a few years ago, then it "went off the boil a bit" and we stopped going.Having heard good reports and that there had been a change of ownership we decided to go a again.We went for Sunday Lunch as a family of 6 (4 and 2 little people).The menu had a number of interesting dishes, which I intend to try on future visits.(Oh yes! There will certainely be future visits.On this visit we settled for the straight Sunday roast lovely thinly sliced and tender beef, good sized portions with the usual vegetable selection, a childs portion of slow roast belly pork that was almost as big as the adult portions and a childs fish and chips. All plates cleared, always a good sign with children.The service was good and friendly, with particular care taken to include the little ones.One very small critisism, the puddings took a liitle long to come out. I will however qualify this by saying they were obviously "caught out" by a sudden unexpected influx of customers.This brings me to my final point, the Kings Arms is getting known, and popular , so it might be advisable to book. By around 1.30 - 2.00 pm all tables were full and 3 were even on to second seating.Nice to find a good old fashioned pub, oak beams ,open fire,etc getting it right. We will certainly be back.

Yesterday, we went for the first time since the new ownership. There were four of us (including two well-travelled Australians), each of us with different main courses. Each meal was excellent in presentation and quality. The Australians, who were at the end of a long European tour, remarked that this was the best meal they had had. The service was both efficient and friendly. Will we be going again? Of course!

Having lived in the village a couple of years we were yet to try the pubs food-we will certainly be going again. Great food great service. Very impressed
