The Kings Arms — Restaurant in England

Having made a reservation on Wednesday for a Sunday lunch meal, when I arrived there was no reservation in place. During the telephone conversation to make the booking, I had discussed with the gentleman taking the call that it was ok to bring two dogs with us and he made sure I knew that it would not be a traditional roast.

Knowing that there were several platters on offer, we went for the sharing platter at £26 expecting effectively a double platter. The platter seemed somewhat smaller than we expected. This might be because they had only catered for the 3 people who had booked in and whose booking they had noted. These people certainly had a wider choice than we did.

We had two small pieces of very delicious cheese, prawns, smoked salmon, mackerel, salad, crusty bread and two charcuterie elements.

I know that we all live in difficult times and I am sure the pub did what it could to satisfy our order, but our experience was...

We came upon this picturesque little pub by chance after a visit to the bluebell woods. We had the best food in years: the fish platter was just gorgeous, the pork pie and salad delicious, the fish cakes and salad fabulous, the sausage in the baguette, tasty and the chilli in Yorkshire pudding satisfied even grandad. Both beer and cider were also perfect. Lovely inglenook fireplace, darts and skittles and a unique garden. The people were totally welcoming too. We must go again, it's the best...

A completely unexpected but wonderful find. We had been to The Royal Oak at Eydon only to find they weren't serving food. A local in the pub suggested we tried here. The pub kindly rang ahead and booked us a table and off we went. It's a fabulous pub, which is very cosy and has a large roaring fire. The staff were welcoming and very accommodating of our various dietary requirements! I really hope people continue to support them. I wish I had a pub like that near me. I'd be there...
