What can I say about the King's Arms? I'm at home here. When we moved to the UK, honestly our most…read moredesired feature was walking distance to a pub. We got stumbling distance to one of the best pubs in the country. This place is well-regarded by everyone in the region. I've met people here who give up walking distance to their local to drive here and have a good time. That says something. My first night here I made friends, and each time I've been here since I find myself in good company either with neighbors we've met before, or people who know we're new to the area and want to welcome us. I can't begin to tell you how often a quick pint before dinner turns into a long session at King's Arms. I wouldn't have it any other way. These guys truly embrace the concept of being the center of village activity. No TVs, no WiFi, these things distract from the community. You come here to interact with your friends and neighbors, enjoy a good beer, and enjoy living in the company of others. They regularly have events to bring the village out. The most impressive of which was the dinner they hosted on the night of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. They served the exact 10-course menu served in first class that evening, and requested everyone bust out their tuxedos and dresses to mark the occasion in grand fashion. It was a remarkable evening. One disappointment, since I have to list one to feel as though I am being fair, is the wine list. We love the temperanillo, but really none of the others. But we're not here to drink wine, we're here to be social! It makes me a little sad that we don't have this type of drinking culture in the US. If you're not an alcoholic, you're not likely be on a first-name basis with the bartenders at a local watering hole. That's why I love walking in here; everyone knows everyone else, they're always happy to see you, they know what you drink, they pour a tasty pint, and are genuinely good people. I dig it.

Wow. Spectacular. The setting on the river is a true GEM. The service and personality is adorable…read more I felt at home-a single traveling guy with no distractions, I was paying attention to every little nuance. Beginning with a glass of wine outside overlooking the river, the evening started out brilliantly (the English term, I think, for INCREDIBLE). Corinne was warm, welcoming, and hospitable The Scallops dish, as a starter, was creatively designed, and - while not overly complex and varied - SPECTACULARLY executed. The crispy smokey outside with soft and juicy interior of the scallops couldn't have been better. Oh. Then the Veal Main. HOLY WOW... Nuanced yet rich. Perfectly cooked mid rare loin, dressed with a complex yet subtle combination of Braised cherry tomatoes, Broad Beans, Broccoli Rabe is perfected by the rich and flavorful jus touched with an essence of mint. The perfectly crispy fried, lightly curried onion Bahji adds a perfectly complementary crispy texture and subtle onion sweetness that would be greatly missed in its absence. I am embarrassed to admit, that the Hazelnut herb crumb lightly dusted over the top - while a brilliant design addition - was too subtle for MY palate. Those of you with a more refined palate will be fortunate to enjoy more than I this finer nuanced component. This dish might be the very best designed veal dish I have ever experienced... and... executed BRILLIANTLY. IF You're staying at the Marriott Breadsall... or ANYWHERE in the vicinity... you MUST go to Darley's Make a reservation... if you don't... then don't be surprised if you don't get In.

Lunch indoors during the winter months next to the log fire or just reclining in the comfortable arm chairs is a heart warming joy. The food is always excellent, from a large yet mainly traditional British menu. They have a well stocked wine menu and plenty of guest/traditional beers & ales. The ONLY downside is that the establishment is a bit small in size (indoors) and so on popular nights can get quite cramped but in the summers months the outdoor seating helps to alleviate this problem.
