Kings Arms — Restaurant in England

I returned to the Kings Arms yesterday for lunch and a catch up with a friend. We keep on returning because the menu has such a diversity of options and its reasonably priced. I had the 3 small plates of Beef Bao Buns, Tacos and Chicken Sliders, accompanied by sweet potato fries. My friend had the Steak and Ale Pie and vegetables. The food was timely and tasty and the service was very good. (Olly) was very personable and responsive to our requests and did all he could to meet our needs. We will continue to return. Having had the freshly baked pizzas previously from the Pizza station, I'd also recommend them. The atmosphere was relaxed and cozy despite the establishment experiencing some heating issues, this didn't detract from our visit.

We appear to live in an age where some people just live and love to complain and be outraged by the most minute of things. Finding a negative is much easier than praising a positive, a byproduct of the human species negativity bias I presume.

Thanks Olly, we will be...

It was my first time back to Kings' arms since a revamp, but my last experience here was really disappointing, and even after a detailed complaint to Green King themselves who never acted on my concerns at the time regarding an employees bad attitude I was a bit apprehensive. So today, after a lot of years of distance,we decided to have a fresh start with the kings arms and give it another attempt. We only had a few drinks as they were really expensive. I had a pint of madri on draft, which was £5.80 very nice i have to admit, and my sister in law had a pint of John smiths, which was £4.85 . My better half had a bottle off prosseco, which was £24 pounds ,outrageous. We sat at table 201, which I would recommend if sunny . I must stress that we did not order any food today, so experience only. I'm just really glad sunny weather...

Not great... Gets worse each time we visit. Cold inside (they presumably had heating issues as there were halogen heaters staged about the place). Wasn't busy but waited an age for food. Couldn't have the pizza I wanted as there were no chillies, but out natcho starter had loads of them - seems like meals are pre-apportioned. Had a burger instead, which also took ages to arrive. Chips and sides were cold on arrival, burger nothing special at all. Were offered replacement fries but having waited so long already we declined. Offered free drinks, but the beer I wanted was already off. Sorry to say we won't be going back which is a shame as its only 5 mins walk away. We have been here and had much better food before, but it's not what it was. Not a great experience. Will be going staright to Thorpe...
