"I have read some recent poor reviews about this pub which motivated me to put the record straight because they are plain wrong. I 've been using this place for maybe 6 years now. Pre-pandemic it was a great business, great beer and great food. Then two years or so of abject awfulness with a succession of bad management that really let the pub and its regulars down to the point of it being empty most of the time. Now! Hallelujah! The pub now has a team it deserves. The new managers turned the pub 's fortunes around in about four weeks of taking over which surprised me when you consider the neglect that preceded them but they are dedicated, professional and very hard working. The food is excellent and being a local i eat in many of the more decent food pubs in the area so i can confidently say the food @TKA is up there with the rest of them. Its really tasty and completely made from scratch which isn 't common. Even the places that say homemade often have a bit of ding ding in there somewhere. I can spot no evidence of ding ding here. You can tell the Chef knows his stuff and the Landlady is lovely. Both very professional people. Sadly one reviewer pitched this pub against two other nearby pubs on price range. That is totally unfair. One of the other pubs is a freehold for starters and the other slams you on the price of drinks. However all three pubs are excellent but that was a sh*tty thing to say. One course Sunday roast with drinks at each of those pubs would place The Kings Arms smack bang in the middle unless you are drinking tap water. I think the person who wrote that review should drink more tap water. I have quite a few beautiful and excellent pubs that serve great food within a 15 min drive from my house. They can all do well without crappy and off the mark comments. On a lighter note. The bar staff are lovely also. Very friendly and they actually smile!! And even the bar snacks are homemade. Think British tapas. home made slices of sausage roll and scotch egg or pieces of really good brownie. That 's a nice touch if you have been out walking the dogs for example and you have a chicken in the oven at home. Drop in here for a pint and a little bite. Excellent pub now."

"We went with friends for a meal, it was our first visit since it has re opened under new management. The last visit around a year ago was terrible so I was excited that it had been taken over and very much looking forward to the evening. Myself and one of our friends had the sharing fish platter which was amazing and the meals our other friends chose were also excellent however, not once did anyone bother to come and check if everything was ok or if we needed more drinks. A young member of staff eventually came over to ask if we had finished and took away half of the plates and didn’t come back, what seemed like an age later another member of staff brought a dessert menu and that was our chance to ask for another drink, we ordered our drinks and she brought the desert menus also, as we couldn’t decide what we wanted she said she would come back in about 5 minutes, she took the rest of the plates away and then didn’t come back! One of our party went to speak to the manager on duty and told him that we had really enjoyed the food but we’re not happy with the distinct lack of service and said we felt like there should be a discount on our meals. He agreed that he would give us a discount and then called some of the staff to have a word with them. After that we just got sly looks from the staff and no one bothered to come and speak to us or see if we wanted anything else. We went to ask for the bill and when another member of staff came with the card machine she was quite rude. Somebody had mentioned that there was a party of 30 in but on a number of occasions we saw groups of staff standing behind the bar just chatting. I was hopeful for a new local pub where we could go with other friends however, we will not be going there again or recommending it to anyone"

"We booked Sunday Lunch for 1pm, we arrived at 12.50 to a table of staff sat down giving us unwelcoming looks as we walked through the door. We found our table with name on only for 2 of them to shout over if we had booked a table. Once seated one of the young girls came over and asked for a drinks order, we had no menu to pick from and when we asked for a diet coke they did not have any. There was no diet drinks on offer at all, also asked for a J20 and they never had this either, bit difficult to know what to ask for without knowing what they have available. 1pm came and the carver started dishing up what looked like approx 15 takeaway containers, the waitress staff was then adding the veg to them. This meant we was sat for 20 minutes being ignored, an elderly couple walked in and was ignored so got up and walked out again when they got fed up of waiting. We had no idea how long we would be waiting and none of the staff was interested in serving us or letting us know when we could head up for the carvery. I got up to take a look at the carvery selection only to be pounced on ready to be told to sit back down until I said I was only looking. After over 20 minutes had gone by we decided to go online and book a table elsewhere. The staff member who looked in charge was taken aback that we was leaving but said we did not have to pay for the drinks. The food looked nice and good value for money but the service has to be the worst I have ever experienced. Needless to say we will not be returning."
