Menu on the table list many a wonderful option, only to find when ordering over half are not available. Not one member of our party of three got their first choice. I was looking forward to the Steak Fondue Challenge. What I got was more of a disappointment than my first intervention It really is something when the best part of a meal is the small pot of sauce. Speaking of which, the beef dripping gravy was the colour and viscosity of melted Tesco Smart Price cheese slices, I didn’t touch it, it was wrong on every level. The picture in the menu, shows a tray brimming with chips, garlic ciabatta and 6 loaded potato skins, brimming with cheese, all precariously arranged around a 32 oz sliced rump steak. It looks so much food a funny glance could have it toppling off the tray without warning. What arrived was an abomination, the steak [was not 32oz by any stretch of the imagination,] it was a mini camembert and a few bits of wafer thin sliced pepper had been haphazardly thrown in a bowl, with what looked like not a care in the world for presentation. Clearly the cook doesn’t care what anybody thinks of his skills. Around this were the loaded potato skins, lukewarm and burnt, a portion of fries that would have been more fitting a childs meal and no garlic cabarita and finally the two pots of sauce. Our drinks arrived after the food, and only after we asked, with some mumbled excuse about a different order. One of my fellow diners complained about his chicken skewer being cold (just to clarify cold was fridge cold, not had gone cold.) The reply from, what was frankly staff who seemed to have just given up, was an apology “about that” after they had turned and started walking away. In all the staff and food are as bad as each other, one could even say compliment each other wonderfully. The complaints about the food are dealt with such, you are aggrieved by the staff and forget about the dreadful meal you had to pay up front for. Although there is no prize for completing any of the challenge meal, I have to wonder if they make them so bad you wouldn’t want to finish them so they can say most people fail? Truly the WammyBurger of pub food. I have attempted to email, but my email is blocked. I'm using my Gmail account, so it's either a blanket Gmail ban or specifically me.

Shocking behaviour from staff at the kings. Went for a Sunday meal with my wife and two children. We ordered a bottle of wine with our meal. I saw the bar staff inspecting the wine glasses as he brought them to the table. They were filthy, but he still gave them to us. I simply asked if I could have two clean glasses, to which I was told they were clean, and it was only water stains. I don’t care if it is water stains, I can’t see through the glasses! Again, I politely asked for two clean glasses. At this point the bar staff began shouting at me in front of my children. Wow!! For politely asking for two clean glasses??? I asked to speak to his manager away from the table as my kids were petrified. His manager allowed him to continue shouting at me in front of the whole bar until I interjected and questioned if she was going to allow him to continue. She told me he was “sensitive”. Throughout our meal we were stared at and made to feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome. I contacted the owner to highlight the shocking behaviour. The owner apologised and offered a free meal as a gesture of good will. I found this really insulting. For as long as you have staff behaving the way they do, I will never step foot in the kings again. Advice. Train your staff in some basic customer care. Get your staff to pick up the broken glass outside in the kids play area. Spend some more time on the shop floor.

Popped in here to have a quick lunch. The sizzling steak was really tasty, and the meat was soft. The fish was nice but batter a little brown . Service was good.

Best pub around! Always welcomed well by Charlie and rest of staff and make us feel at home… ice cold beer and tasty hot food. Lovely to bring the dog along and always treated well.

Good for a regular pint. Decent selection of standard largers but a limited selection of draft ales. On the plus side the ice breaker which has recently appeared is a nice pint and the green king IPA is a good fallback. Food is standard green king sizzling menu food so will depend on the chef at the pub how good this is, our meal recently was average.

Very friendly staff. I had the gammon and chips which was great. My wife had the chicken strip loaded fries, which was ok. The Greene King Ice Breaker is a brilliant pint and the biscoff cheesecake was excellent.

Depressing. The beer I had was flat and tasteless (like the decor!). Multiple screens showing Sky Sports News channel with no sound. Music was "golden oldies" but only the tarnished, second rate, gold. Unfortunately this is the only pub within walking distance of me. No wonder people drink at home.

Me and my mate come to the kings arms every lunch break during college and love the food! The staff are kind, welcoming and are easy to chat with while waiting for your meals. We never miss a day going to the kings arms.

Sean was amazing when I came in last week. He was attentive and gave me some great recommendations for food! I can see he truly enjoys his job and cares about giving a good experience to guests ☺️

It's a very nice pub. It has a lovely pool table, seating area and bar. Unfortunately, the men's toilet has been broke since February and they have not fixed which is disappointing. All in all, it has a good atmosphere and classic Greene King food

Nice food good atmosphere. Has a mini birthday gathering for me and my mums birthday. Staff were very friendly and very nice. Food is fairly cheap and good quality. 9/10

Great pub, friendly staff, food superb. Nice atmosphere, good service and highly recommended.

A great pub, made better by its diligent staff. Went in the other week and was served by neena, and she was a paragon of a committed and distinguished worker, truly someone all hospitality workers should look to in hope they can keep in such high spirits in a strenuous job. No pub has ever been the same after receiving such fantastic service.

Visited the Kings for a family meal, I had a rump steak that was cooked to perfection! I was served by 2 lovely ladies, who were extremely friendly and very attentive. I will definitely be visiting again in the future.

If I could give no stars, i would, the service was shocking, we firstly had to enter and sit on a dirty table which only after 25 minutes was this then cleaned, short staffed or not, you need have a good level hygiene, the manger on shift was rude, even after being asked nicely to please have some clean the table, stated ‘in a minute we are busy’. We then went up and ordered our food, although the food came out quickly, for myself the food was cold and was poorly placed onto the plate, I will not be coming back here

Great pub generally-good 2 for 1 food during the week but no Sunday Dinner!

Service was great, we have nothing negative to say about the staff there, they were all really great, helpful and friendly (well the two girls were). We have previously had family meal and we honestly couldn’t fault any one bit, I’d go as far as say they were really really good - resulting in our return today, in all fairness I didn’t write a review about what they done well in the past. However, today was horrific…… not one meal came out without an issue, 7 adults meals and 6 children’s meals all having a few rounds of soft drinks, so spending around £160! Firstly the roast dinners were inedible - the beef was mostly fat and rubber-like the mash was like a hard mound of overcooked crusty potatoes and the gravy was a thick jelly-like porridge all pretty cold and went home to the dog. The stake and chips well done (as requested) came on a bed of onions…… well a mountain of onions despite requesting no onions. The burger was hot, probably because it had been cremated, it was thrown together and once again the onions were inedible and appeared to have been cut with a blunt axe. The meals took close to an hour to come out and were staggered, taking this time it would have been nice to get at least one of the meals done to a standard anyone would expect. We’ll probably return and give it another go as our previous visits have been great and everyone has an off day although if the kitchen staff have changed from our previous visits, their new kitchen staff are shocking and need to drastically improve or don’t come in off the back of a heavy beak-end as they were belting out some good old banger (music not sausage)…… which is fine but not great when your sitting by the kitchen door. I feel bad leaving a negative review due to previous good visits but without criticism things don’t improve.

Amazing atmosphere when I came in for a quick meal with family, staff also amazing they where welcoming and offered I think everything the could to help our staff comfortable and enjoyable. The food was delicious as I order the chicken n mix which I would recommended to anyone with a appetite which came as a good time as well as I had the chance to get me drink and have a ciggy before food came

Food was good and reasonable priced kids had gammon eggs I wish I'd have got it was lovely! Sadly no fish was on that we wanted so got the millionaire's burgers and chicken wings enjoyed the lots no complaints 🤤👍

My grandson and I had a good lunch here. Our first visit, and we both really enjoyed our food. The service was excellent and I'm sure we will return.

Very impressed. Been 15 years since I visited (moved away) and wasn't expecting much, but the staff were brilliant and the food excellent. Wide range of clientele, all friendly. Dog friendly as well, otherwise I wouldn't have gone. Garden very tired, could do with both TLC and extending. Also a bin out the back would be welcome. Will be back soon.

All staff exceptionally brilliant and pleasant. Food great.

Excellent chicken wings. The nachos are actually Dorito's (or the equivalent) not plain nachos, which to me detracted from the toppings, were good sized and had good toppings. I also ordered a Shandy which was 2/3's lemonade. I personally like more then a toppings but really only a third lemonade. All in all good value for the money.

Always have a good time visiting the kings! Foods great and the bar staff are lovely. Especially Jason! Always very polite and makes sure we’re looked after! Can’t wait to go back.

No complaints about the food or the staff. But the menu was very limited each time we went to order it wasnt on the menu. I suggest they put on a board what is available and scrap the menus until things get sorted. We got there in the end and thoroughly enjoyed what we had. Staff were very apologetic and helpful. But the most annoying thing was I have a blue light card that they except but not on the 2 meal deal unless I pay full price for them. Why bother excepting to allow the card in the first place I am appalled at the company for doing this. If I'd had my wits about me I should have paid separately for the 2 meals in the deal and paid using my blue Light card for the steak and chicken that were not included in the deals. So take heed anyone using a Blue light card. Use your noggin. Food an staff 5 star *****

Came here for dinner and am happy to say food was fantastic. Served piping hot and quickly. My husband had a ribeye steak rare (sounds simple but often cooked wrong) It was cooked 2 perfection and he said just melted in his mouth. Went as far to say best steak he'd ever had whilst eating out. High praise indeed because he's a cantankerous git.

Food was done to your liking and staff were very friendly so we had a good time for my gradson's eighteenth birthday meal

There was a very limited menu on no fish dishes as there was a problem in the kitchen the food was very good value for money so it was ok for a cheap meal out

What a lovely place!! Amazing staff very friendly and helpful! Food was gorgeous...Good value for money and fast service! Will be back soon!

The place has an amazing atmosphere. The cocktails are fantastic. The staff makes you feel welcomed especially jason. He made us feel right at home. Would highly recommend!

Spent a lovely afternoon chatting and eating a late lunch.Great food and service. Loved the idea of the senior's meal, excellent price. There is a nice ambiance with various different areas to eat in.

Nice pub... great atmosphere on quiz night (Wednesdays) quiz master Milky is good fun and very welcoming. Bar staff friendly, special mention to Liam who worked his socks off last quiz night, as did all the staff *****

Nices place for a quick drink

Very good service, food was great and came to the table hot.

Awful place tbh there was one poor waitress serving the entire... yes entire pub! She was run off her feet bringing out food and cleaning up tables and quite to our surprise did better than most would but she looked over worked and this led to a longer wait on meals (not her fault) bad management I'd say. 2 bar staff on and the pub was heaving. Food was OK but I don't think I'd be rushing here any time soon.

Great place great entertainment and lovely friendly staff

Great friendly place, top food and good atmosphere

Disappointed in the quality of food overall, and overhearing others on the day not the only one to be dissatisfied. This pub is our local, been many times for food recently, beer is okay and overall quality of food and service needs some improvement, lasagne on Sunday 17/10/21 was over cooked (nuked) and similar the burgers where dry.. Possibly too picky but could not finish them, left them and all party felt flavour/quality was not satisfying, Saying that we did have a decent rump steak previously the week before so maybe you get what you pay for.
