The Kings Arms — Restaurant in South Oxfordshire

Visited as part of a large private party for a roast dinner. The food was average at best, we've had much better elsewhere. The side veg was under cooked for our liking, the poor young girl serving was under great pressure, she was doing her best. Some guests asked for more roast potatoes and yorkshire puddings but these didn't arrive. The chicken was very chewy, the pork wasn't great either and the beef was very fatty and nearly all the guests left so hungry they had to buy fast food on their way home. I'm posting a review because the lead guest has told me they were over charged by around £90 and they had visited to complain and request this be refunded, they were greeted by a very bad attitude from the guy behind the bar and he became quite verbally abusive which we feel is extremely bad. The customer is always right until proven otherwise. We were also told the bill was not itemised, which it should have been. The lead guests were told a service charge had been added on, this was not pre discussed or agreed prior to the event, and they were also told the childrens roast would be half price, but had been charged full price. When this was questioned during the conversation, the guy behind the bar said "well did you expect it all for nothing?" No they certainly did not and we didn't take kindly to the maner in which he spoke to them. It was finally resolved with a refund being given of £72 so please be aware of this, should you be thinking of booking your own function at this place. We certainly would not...

After 2 years of being in Oxford, I finally decided to give the King's Arms (Wheatley) a try. I went in and was given a very warm welcome! The barkeep was very friendly and made sure everything was ok, etc. An absolute A+ for service in my books. I ordered the sausage and mash and chicken wings, quite pricey in my opinion. Came to a grand total of 20 quid! Thank god I didn't get a pint with it!

To be critical (and hence why it's only 4 stars), the chicken wings were hard and not tender at all. They were also misadvertised as "garlic and chili wings" - to my surprise, when they came out, they were just plain chicken wings drizzled in sweet chili sauce. This slightly ticked me off since I was expecting the Chinese takeaway style of finely chopped garlic and raw chili, deep fried in batter.

However, the sausage and mash was extremely nice! I'd highly recommend that. I'd definitely return here afrer a long study session to relax and chat to the locals (who are very friendly!)

Overall a great pub with a lovely cozy vibe to it!...

This pub took a last minute request for 11 people and the staff were super friendly. They have a good selection of beer available and food too.

They have parking available but we had to park near a residential property since it was full. It was a pretty cosy atmosphere and they had ample seating available.

The hot and spicy wings had a good masala however the meat was pretty bland. The steak and ale was pretty good, we enjoyed the gravy. The Thai green curry was surprisingly authentic however the quantity could be a little bit more, the curry was too little for the rice provided.

The brownie with ice-cream was delicious and the...
