The Kings Arms

What a cracking surprise this turned out to be!
Smack bang in the middle of this pretty little village this English country pub packs a couple of great surprises. First of all the layout inside is unusual and wonderful. Large tables and lounge chairs make this comfortable for coffee meetings and /​or afternoon drinks for business whilst maintaining a great pub bar, not an easy trick to pull off.
The food is also outstanding, definitely better than you’d expect and certainly restaurant standard +. Thats not all the wine list is good too, they offer much more than the standard cheap Australian screw tops usually found in English pubs.
But this pub is also a hotel and I stayed in room 5 which was warm, clean and had a great rain shower. The bed was comfortable too and my only gripe would be that the wardrobe was tiny and my view out of the window was grim.
But this is a lovely English pub and it deserves a look from anyone able to visit.

We had dropped in for something to eat. We were expecting standard pub grub but were given a surprise. Delicious food and some excellent specials. Attention to where the food was sourced and great service. But we were the only ones eating. Everyone else was at the front in the original part of the building getting drunk.
It was only on closer inspection that we realised this place was also a hotel. From the website it seems like a chic boutique. But I can’t honestly give much information on it.
I will be going back and will have a proper dinner there. I will update my review with full dinner details. All I know is the food was lovely. Give it a try.
