   A wonderful find following our visit to a NT Property nearby. A very warm welcome at this charming canal side pub with restaurant, busy because it was the festive period, we were squeezed in and very grateful for this. On a wet and windy day (Storm Bran), it was great to get by the real fire. We were served by Gail who was really friendly and attentive and explored menu options with us. Drinks menu is good, varied and with offers. Lots of 0% alcohol versions for drivers. Food was excellent, reflecting the price of modern day pub dining. Great attention to detail. Food was hot, well presented, good portion sizes and again, a varied menu. Nice atmosphere, very welcoming and friendly staff. Felt valued as a customer and visitor. Thank you all at the King's Arms.

   Its the first time visiting the kings arms, its in a lovely location on the canal, its beautiful from the outside and even better on the inside. We got to sit next to a roaring log fire which was needed on a crisp winter morning. I didn't manage to get a photo of my breakfast before I devoured it but it looked amazing. My father had the traditional breakfast and I had a childs size as I wasn't overly hungry. The server Dom was lovely and friendly, our food cooked by the chef Zoe was quick , hot and delicious. Well definitely be going back soon!

   Booked in for one night as its really convenient when visiting the NEC. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. It was a very cold day but the bar was warm with a lovely log fire. Our room was super, the bed was comfy and there was a good selection of tea and coffee. We had a super vegetarian breakfast with lots of tea and coffee. Unfortunately we left something in the room at checkout, but Dom the manager arranged to get it back to us at their cost. Brilliant service. Looking forward to another visit.

   Called in for Sunday lunch after a walk along the nearby canal. Ample parking which is needed as the pub gets busy. As we were having an evening meal as well we all wanted something light but there is not much choice for that on the Sunday menu as the focus is on roast dinners. Most of us opted for fish and chips and it was really poor. Luke warm at the table and the batter was not crispy and it left a nasty aftertaste. All in all disappointed but I'm sure it can't be busy for no reason so have to assume the roasts are good.

   We visited here for a meal on Saturday at 5:30pm, having prebooked a few days in advance. Welcoming atmosphere in the restaurant area, lights were dimly lit and decor was lovely, it really created an intimate atmosphere. We ordered our chosen dishes only to be told 4 or 5 of them were off the night! Not the first time we have heard this from our friends. It's not particularly surprising as the menu is huge, maybe too big to be sustainable? Having said that, the food that we did get was really tasty and the service was very good.

   I cannot say enough about this venue, the venue is set on a beautiful rural canal side location and the building has recent undergone a huge revamp, it’s very posh and quirky! The Guiness is one of the best pints I’ve had. The first night I had the chicken burger which was really tender, then the following evening I had the 10oz steak which was cooked to absolute perfection so the knife just glided through it like butter and was the perfect pink for a medium rare steak. The full English breakfast in the morning was absolutely spot on too. The staff are very polite, friendly and attentive to the customers, and the best thing is it’s one of the most dog friendly pub/restaurants I’ve been. The hotel upstairs is absolutely beautiful and immaculate, the beds and everything are brand new and one of the best nights sleep I’ve had in ages, I didn’t hear a sound all night. It’s most definitely one of the best places I’ve been for a pint. When you consider the location, food and the fantastic service, it’s very well priced! I’ll definitely be coming back for a pint, highly recommend! Oh and did I say it’s really dog friendly!!

   Recently came here for a meal with my mum after the long awaited refurbishment, we have been here before and the food has had a massive upgrade compared to before. The atmosphere was great and made a difference to hear some good music in the background it feels a lot more prestige now with the fancy decor in contrast to before where it was just a usual pub. Marie who was our waitress, checked with us that we had any allergies and was able to cater to my needs when I stated my allergies, she was really helpful and nice with our visit. We’re going to definitely be coming back for another meal and of course some more drinks in the near future.

   Dirty tables, young inexperienced staff, overpriced mediocre food. £14 for the smallest of chicken and chips that I wasn't as enjoyable as the last one I got down the local fish and chip shop. Just putting the chips in a pot and adding a few simple dips does nothing to enhance the meal. A real disappointment to previous visits a few years previous. The only exception was the young girl working the bar who was taking the lead, sorry can't remember her name. She was very pleasant and helpful but unfortunately, this alone could not offset the other negatives and we won't be visiting again.

   Lovely country pub on the canal. Lots of outside tables on patio and lawn at the back. Not eaten here in a while but remember the food being good. Purity beers on tap as well as the normal selections of lagers/ciders etc.
