We have been here many times for Sunday lunch and have always enjoyed. But today was the worst experience ever. We arrived as the first people there and told there was a 20-25min delay which was fine. We went to the conservatory and We were greeted with about 10 flies. We Informed the bar staff who said there was nowhere else to.sit so he would use fly spray.
He sprayed the room so we sat outside and returned after 10 mins. When we returned all dead flies all over the floor and also the window sills had about 30 or more dead flies along them which is not very appealing while sitting having lunch. Also there was half eaten food all over the floor from possibly the night before and good job we didn't have the baby with us as the high chair was absolutely disgusting still covered in rice and left over food from previous meals.
Whilst eating flies dropped into.my sons coke and then one fell.into my sisters Sunday lunch and also found 3 separate hairs in 3 of the meals which ended up.being an hour and a half late. We were so disgusted at this point we couldn't wait to get out of there. The only apology we had was for the delay in the time the food took nothing about the state of the room we were put in to eat it.
Cant see us returning after this visit...
Read moreDog friendly restaurant. Dropped in for a drink with the dogs and decided to book a meal at the lovely table by the fire for later in the week. We were on holiday and had another couple joining us. We arrived and straight away the fire was put on for us. Starters amazing, deep fried crab, French onion soup, mushrooms in garlic and brie and beef. They were all top quality and gorgeous. We even tried one of the "Mexican" pasties, a bit nippy on the tongue but lovely. We asked for 45 minutes between courses and sat by the fire drinking good wine. The mains came and they were not disappointing, very nice indeed. I can't leave a review without mentioning the toilets. You open the door to a light display and pleasant smells wafting around. This is how toilets in restaurants should be. Bright, spotless and bad odour free. Excellent service. Well done to the owner and all the staff. You deserve to have a successful business and I hope you have. If I am in the area again I would most certainly return. Thank you all for a good evening. Special mention to "Aiden" (I think) who ran after us...
Read moreWe had intended to go somewhere else for lunch, but found that it was closed. Googling the area, we came across the Kings Arms and noticed that it had lots of great reviews. It was fully booked ( not surprisingly) but we were lucky that there had been a cancellation. The manager was wonderful and welcomed us in. The building is one of those beautiful old pubs with stone walls and real old beam ceilings. There was a large collection of milk jugs hanging from the ceiling and we noticed that all of them were immaculately cleaned and dusted! The restaurant was serving Sunday lunch with a choice of beef, lamb or chicken. We had one beef and one lamb. They were absolutely superb! Tender meat, lots of it, lots of perfectly cooked vegetables, Yorkshire puddings, and the manager even brought us extra gravy! Unfortunately we were too full for desserts as these looked delicious too! Highly recommended and we will...
