    Have never eaten out for Christmas dinner before but this year we moved to a new house and still don’t have an oven or all kitchen facilities. We made the decision to eat out instead of trying to cater using just an air fryer. I’m so glad we made this choice and safe to say I think we will have Christmas dinner here every year. The stress of preparing or washing up was taken away, the food was of high quality and you didn’t get crammed in or rushed. Just Perfect!

    Dear Jessica, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your Christmas dinner with us and that it made your holiday stress-free. We look forward to welcoming you back next year! Best wishes, The Kings Arms Team

    The ambience is non existent and the food mediocre. The service was pleasant but not customer first. Overall not somewhere to go unless it’s the only place open that serves food on a Monday.

    Dear Morag, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience didn't meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments on the service and will work on improving the ambience and food quality. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future. Best regards, The Kings Arms Team

FAQs

Yes, Kings Arms is a cosy, pub-style spot that works well for a relaxed date night. Guests praise the ‘pub elegant’ and comfortable atmosphere and enjoy evenings here with food and drinks. Choose an evening table for a buzzy vibe or a Sunday roast for a more leisurely experience. Follow up with a dessert (apple crumble or sticky toffee pudding) and, if you want to make it special, ask about one of their boutique ensuite rooms for an overnight stay.

Portions are generous, in keeping with classic pub dining, guests often praise hearty burgers, mains and Sunday roasts. The menu features filling options like the house burger, mixed grill, pies and skin-on chips, plus full Sunday roast plates, suggesting satisfying portions for most appetites. If you’re unsure, staff are happy to advise on portion size when you order.

Yes, Kings Arms is a traditional pub and serves alcoholic drinks alongside its food menu. Guests regularly mention enjoying both food and drinks, and the menu features pub dishes that pair well with ales and cocktails. If you have specific drink requests (wine, local ales, or cocktails), the team can usually help.

The house burger is a clear crowd-pleaser, guests rave about the burgers and call them a highlight. Sunday roasts are also popular, and desserts like the apple crumble tart and sticky toffee pudding get positive mentions. Expect classic pub favourites and standout burgers that many guests return for.

Kings Arms hours: Monday–Thursday and Sunday 10:00–23:00; Friday–Saturday 10:00–00:00. Plan evening visits within those times and check with the pub for holiday hours or special events.

Family-friendly: yes, guests commonly bring children and families enjoy Sunday roasts and burgers (there’s a children’s Sunday menu). Accessibility specifics (ramped access, toilet facilities) aren’t listed, so call ahead if you need step-free seating or other accommodations. The team has shown flexibility with special requests for kids in the past.

Evenings are best if you want a lively, buzzy pub atmosphere, while Sunday lunchtime is ideal for roast dinners. For a quieter experience, visit on weekday lunchtimes or early evenings. If you prefer a specific vibe, call ahead, staff can advise on likely busier periods.

Kings Arms offers cosy pub dining with the option to book a private party and also provides four boutique ensuite double rooms if you’d like to stay overnight. They don’t regularly accept very large party bookings, so contact the pub directly to arrange private dining or special seating needs.

The ambience is generally cosy and pub-elegant, many guests enjoy a warm, comfortable vibe and lively evenings. A number of guests mention buzzy nights and friendly service; a small number found the ambience quieter or underwhelming, so experiences can vary by visit and time. For a livelier feel, choose an evening; for something calmer, try a weekday lunch.

Casual dress, the Kings Arms welcomes relaxed, smart-casual clothing suitable for pub dining and family visits. If you’re booking a private event or staying in one of the boutique rooms, you can check ahead for any specific expectations.

Yes, staff are accommodating and guests have reported successful special requests (for example, dietary or custom burger orders). For seating, dietary needs or celebration requests, call ahead so the team can prepare and ensure a smooth visit.

Busiest: evenings and weekends, especially Sunday lunchtime for roasts, guests note a buzzy, lively atmosphere then. Quietest: weekday lunchtimes or early evenings tend to be calmer. If you prefer a particular level of bustle, call ahead to check expected traffic for your planned day and time.

Sunday is a standout choice if you’re after a traditional roast, guests praise the Sunday lunch. For livelier evenings, visit later in the week or at the weekend. For a quieter visit, midweek is usually better.

Yes, Kings Arms offers private party bookings for small private events. They do not typically accept very large parties, so contact the pub to confirm capacity, menu options and any extras you might want for a private gathering.
